LUMA FLARE[1][]

As an action, a character may make an Easy difficulty Gunnery check to launch a luma flare into the air to provide light. If [they] succeed and the flare has room to travel into the air, the flare completely illuminated an area out to long range from the location it was fired. If [they] fail or do not have room to fire it, the flare still ignites, but it but does not travel into the air. Instead, it remains at ground level, illuminating an area out to short range. Whether [they] succeed or fail, the flare's illumination continues for five rounds, after which time it burns out.[2]

Though luma flares are not designed as weapons, creative characters can nonetheless use them as such. They are extremely hard to aim, but the mere prospect of being struck by one will cause many foes to reconsider attacking. They have the following profile as a weapon: luma flare (Gunnery; Damage 6; Critical 3; Range [Long]; Blast 4, Burn 4, Disorient 2, Inaccurate 2, Prepare 2, Limited Ammo 1).[2]
