The very smallest animals (like the T.M.N.T.) Psionics will either have to grow or suffer severe mental penalties due to their Growth Levels (Steps) small size. By the same token, very large creatures will have to sacrifice some of their natural size and strength in order to gain human features. Human Features The size of the animal character is measured in growth steps. Each animal's original size level is listed of growth costs 5 BIO-E. Characters Biological Energy Points can also gain BIO-E points by giving up growth steps. For each growth step given up, the character gains 5 BIO-E points.

The more powerful the original animal, the Of course, you can continue to spend BIO-E points and make the mutant fewer points of bio-energy it would have. mouse even larger and even gain attribute bonuses. All it takes is 5 The reasons for this are simple. Someone rolling up, for example, points of BIO-E per level of increase. a tiger, would be at a great advantage compared to someone rolling up a mouse. However, to equalize things, the tiger has many fewer points GROWTH STEP EXAMPLE #2: Decreasing Size of bio-energy than the mouse. After all, a tiger doesn't need much BIO-E, because it's already an incredibly powerful creature. Suppose that you've rolled up an Elephant character. If you check the Animal Section, you'll see that Elephants have Size Level 20. The exact number of BIO-E points is included in the animal's descrip- You'll also notice that Elephants start out with no BIO-E points. Since tion in the Animal Section.

However, any BIO-E points not used up in the creation of the character are permanently lost and CAN NOT be used at a later date to buy any additional powers, abilities or mutations.

The combat system of T.M.N.T. is really just an adaptation of that STEP 4: ATTACKER ROLLS DAMAGE in Heroes Unlimited. It is designed to be fast moving and easy to If a successful strike is not parried, dodge or entangled, the attacker understand. All combat strikes, parries and dodges are resolved by rolls for the amount of damage inflicted and adds any damage bonuses. rolling twenty-sided dice. Critical strikes do double damage. Combined critical strikes, like a natural twenty and a jump attacks do triple damage. Add the damage RESOLVING COMBAT: A STEP BY STEP INTRODUCTION bonus to the roll before doubling or tripling. In anyO fantasT T y role-playingATTEMP game Y , especiallMA R y one based oDEFENDE n comi : c STEPS book characters, there has to be a way of dealing with combat. In other ROLL words, when the hero tangles with the villain you've got to be able to WITH PUNCH . winner e th t ou e figur If the attack is a blunt physical attack (fist, foot, staff, etc.) then the defender can attempt to Roll With The Punch. In order to roll with STEP 1: DETERMINE INITIATIVE punch, the defender must match or better the original roll to strike. Any time opponents square off for battle the game master must Successfully rolling with a punch means the character takes half damage. determine who has the initiative. In other words, who will attack first. Successfully rolling with a knockout punch means the character takes Successful Sneak Attacks or. Long-Range Attacks will always have initia- double damage but is NOT stunned. Rolling with a death punch results tive for that melee. Otherwise, whoever rolls highest on a twenty-sided in loss of half of all remaining S.D.C. and hit points. Failing to roll die will attack first. In the case of a tie, reroll. with punch means taking full damage off of the defender's S.D.C. and/or hit point. STEP 2: ATTACKER ROLLS STRIKE The next step is for the first attacker to roll a twenty-sided die. If CONTINUING THE COMBAT the result is a four or less (counting bonuses) then the attacker misses. Once the above is completed, the process is repeated for whoever Any Roll Above A Four (4) Hits The Opponent. But if the roll is a lost the initiative. So long as the opponents have melee attacks left, five (5) or better And less than the opponent's Armour Rating (A.R.), the combat continues back and forth. When all the attacks or actions then damage may be done only to the S.D.C. of the opponent's armour per melee round of all opponents are finished, it's time to start a new (see Body Armour and Natural Body Armour). A roll over the oppo- melee round. Initiative is redetermined at the beginning of every melee nent's A.R. does direct damage to the character's S.D.C. and Hit round. That is to say, that if a character has four attacks per melee, Points. NOTE that special attacks like Knock-Out/Stun or Death Blow when all attacks are used a new melee round begins. must be declared BEFORE rolling to strike. STEP 3: DEFENDER MAY PARRY, DODGE OR ENTANGLE Any time an attacker rolls a successful hit the defender can choose to parry, dodge, or entangle. Parrying can be done automatically by anyone trained in any form of Hand to Hand combat. That means that the parry can be performed without wasting a melee attack. Non-combat trained characters will lose their next melee attack every time they parry. NOTE: Bullets and energy attacks cannot be parried but CAN be dodged. Defending by dodging or entangling means automatically giv- ing up the next melee attack. Entangle means the character actually pins or snares an opponent's weapons or arm. A defender can only defend against attacks with his line of vision. Attacks from the rear cannot be parried, dodged or entangled.

The following are an average Detonation Caps/Fuses $30 each 32% price per box of 20 or 50. Plastic $100per2oz. 19% Revolver/Pistol: 50 per box Gelatin $ 140 per ounce 18 % Low and Medium Calibre — $16.00 Liquid Nitroglycerin $200 per ounce 20% Heavy (.38,.45,.357) — $24.00 Hand Grenades $60 each 30% Smoke Grenades $30 each 40% Rifle: 20 per box Rifle Launched Grenades $80 each 0 20% $15.0 — e Calibr m Mediu d an w Lo Mortar Shells $100 each 10% 0 $22.0 — y Heav NOTE: There is always a 20% chance that the item is fake or a dud. Descriptions will include two damage ratings. The first is the blast center, where most damage is done, the second is the extended blast radius and damage caused from flying particles of debris. Dynamite is a nitroglycerin based explosive widely used in mining and road construction. It can be detonated with blasting caps, fuses and timing devices. Wick fuses are rarely used today. Damage: one stick: 5-40 to 12 sq. feet, 1-8 for additional 20 feet. Liquid nitroglycerin is an extremely dangerous, unstable chemical explosive concentrate. A severe jar, jerk or bump can cause it to deto- nate, 30% chance. Damage: one ounce is equal to four sticks of dyna- mite. Plastic and Gelatin explosives are very localized blast explosives that can be molded and formed like putt. Inert, you can slam a plastic explosive into a wall and nothing will happen. It can only be activated/ig- nited by an electrical blasting cap that will pass an electrical charge through it causing it to explode. An electrical charge, blast or bolt is also likely to detonate it, 55% chance. Damage: 2 ounces is equal to one stick of dynamite. Area affect of blast is exactly where the plastics or gel has been placed. Of course, depending on what is being exploded, it could cause much more additional destruction and damage. These are the types of explosives used to open safes or for sabotage. They are not effective area effect weapons.
