FM/BG-1769 - GM guidance for using IEDD devices

Guide

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.
