GM guidance for using IEDD devices
IEDD devices are more complex than standard IEDs and can impact performance. Their use should be controlled to maintain a stable and playable environment.
General considerations:
- Limit the number of active IEDD devices to fewer than 10 at any time
- Use them alongside standard IEDs to balance variety and pacing
- Be aware that they require more time for setup and player interaction
Key parameters to manage:
- Variant X
- Non-defusable and not identifiable by players
- Should not be used in standard gameplay scenarios
- Explosion size
- The effective wound radius may be significantly larger than the visible blast
- Capable of damaging vehicles and structures
- Activation radius
- Defines the trigger distance
- Large radii (greater than ~4m) can be difficult to manage, especially in urban environments with limited visibility
IEDD devices should be used deliberately, with consideration given to performance, gameplay balance, and player experience.
