Just a few thought on the Holy Hand Grenade while I couldn't sleep :)
The Book of Antioch details a simple ritual that enables a team of two
Soldiers (the chanter and the bearer) to convert a censer or censor like
object to an explosive device, similar to a grenade.
The chanter recites from the Book of Antioch while the bearer swings the
'grenade'. Either the chanter or the bearer transfers Essence the grenade,
between 0 and 6 points. This takes a round to complete. Each point of
Essence +1 to the power of the grenade.
The bearer then has three rounds to release the grenade, before it self
destructs, using Throwing skill. If a censer, burning incense, has been used
the bearer gets +2 to his skill.
Ambitious teams may create two grenades simultaneously with the bearer and
the chanter providing essence for each.
The grenades cause a disturbance of 2+Essence when they detonate.
