Definition
The Cbt-Ranged skill encompasses a knowledge and practice with ranged combat with small arms fire (such as rifles, bows, pistols and shotguns).
Assess (free-action, aspect-on, Investigate)
You can quickly assess whether a potential opponent has this kind of practice as well as a free action by making the check:
assess(free-action) chk(10) = d20 + R(Cbt-Ranged) + M(Investigate)
Note that this does not tell you anything about their abilities, just whether or not they are practiced (have ranks on this forte).
Know (free-action, aspect-on, Investigate)
You can check whether you know basic features about a particular ranged weapon with:
know(free-action) chk(10+rarity) = d20 + R(Cbt-Ranged) + M(Investigate)
The DC can be adjusted up for rare weapons or subject to a tech provenance aspect, if the weapon is particular to a culture.
Switch (bonus-action)
As long as you have ranks in this skill, you can use a bonnus-action, rather than an act to perform the Switch action to change your weapon during combat.
Feint (bonus-action, aspect-on:Deceive, 1ep)
Just before you make your attack, you can use your bonus action to impose
feint(bonus-action, 1fp) imp(sv,Insight) = 8+R(Cbt-Ranged) + M(Deceive)
If your opponent fails this save, you may make your following attack with advantage.
