Initial Modifications

Contained Shrapnel You alter your light mortar’s ammunition to prevent fragments of it from flying outward on impact. Your innovation gains the nonlethal trait. You can choose whether to apply the nonlethal trait on each Launch.
Enhanced Shrapnel You alter your light mortar’s ammunition to change the way it shatters on impact, spraying nearby creatures with a hail of razor-sharp pieces. Your innovation gains the versatile P and versatile S traits. You can choose whether to apply one of these traits on each Launch with your innovation.
Spring-Loaded You’ve designed your innovation with springs to quickly unfold and extend components, optimizing it for quick deployment. You can deploy your light mortar as a free action.
Blanching Chamber You embed tiny metal filings into ammunition in the firing chamber of your light mortar. These filings remain embedded in the fragments of the ammunition after it shatters on impact.
