Link (enhancement)

==characters==
b106 note
:If you link two attacks into one and give them identical Malf., 1/2D, Max, Acc, RoF, Shots, and Recoil, you can treat them as a single attack with one attack roll but separate rolls for damage.
==campaigns==
B381 Follow-Up Damage
:If the primary damage penetrates the target’s DR, the follow-up effect occurs inside the target.
:If the primary damage fails to penetrate DR, the follow-up effect occurs outside the target, if appropriate, as if the target had been touched – just like a linked effect
==Powers==

==FAQ==

5.2.6. How do you Link an attack onto a mundane weapon, or even multiple weapons?
You buy a Link, probably the +20% one. Then you add an Accessibility to reflect the weapon category size of applicable weapons. This is indeed cheaper than the Follow-Up case, because it doesn't overcome DR if the primary attack does. Please note that Linked attacks should still have the appropriate Range/Reach, Acc etc.
