When a powered {{name}} is thrown at a visible target, it instantly travels to that target with perfect accuracy, regardless of distance. This means a disc cannot miss due to throw variance, and there is no limit to how far it can be thrown at the initial target (as long as the target is in sight). When the disc reaches its target, a simplified hit roll is performed to determine if the disc hits its target and deals damage. The calculation is '''{{dice tooltip|1d20}} + StatModifier'''. If the player is throwing the disc, ''StatModifier'' is always the player's [[Agility]] [[Attributes#Attribute_Modifiers|modifier]]. If a non-player is throwing the disc, ''StatModifier'' is the higher of either the creature's [[Strength]] modifier or Agility modifier.{{Code Reference|class=GeomagneticDisc|method=FireEvent|name=GeomagneticDisc}} | When a powered {{name}} is thrown at a visible target, it instantly travels to that target with perfect accuracy, regardless of distance.

Damage is applied immediately to any target hit by the Disc. It ignores [[AV]] completely and does not use conventional [[penetration]] or [[vibro]] mechanics.

After being thrown at a valid target (and completing any subsequent bounces), a disc will return to its thrower (regardless of distance), automatically re-equipping itself in the thrown weapon slot. If a disc is not thrown at a valid target, either due to incompatible [[phase]] states or due to not being thrown at a target at all, it will travel to its destination and fall to the ground as a normal thrown item would, even if powered. | After being thrown at a valid target (and completing any subsequent bounces), a disc will return to its thrower (regardless of distance), automatically re-equipping itself in the thrown weapon slot.

While the initial throw has no distance limit, bounces ''are'' limited in range. The maximum bounce radius of the disc is equal to 12 plus the thrower's maximum throw range. The maximum throw range is calculated as described in the [[Thrown weapon combat#Range|Thrown weapon combat - Range]] topic, except that a random number between 1 and 6 is '''''not''''' added for the purposes of calculating the {{name|possessive}} bounce radius. Bounce radius is relative to each new target hit, indicating how far the disc can travel from its current target to its next target (it is not locked to the initial target).<ref name="GeomagneticDisc" /> | While the initial throw has no distance limit, bounces ''are'' limited in range.

Each time the disc bounces, it looks for targets that would be visible from its current location. For this reason, the disc can often circle behind walls or into rooms to hit secondary targets that are not visible to the thrower.<ref name="GeomagneticDisc" /> | Each time the disc bounces, it looks for targets that would be visible from its current location (ignoring light level).
