Narrative Starship Combat / Crew Actions

Gunner Actions

Source Starfinder Enhanced pg. 180
These actions can only be taken by a crew member in a gunner role. For a gunner, a ranged attack roll counts as a valid option for a skill check; when a gunner chooses to make a ranged attack during narrative starship combat, they gain a +3 bonus to the roll.
