Written and designed by Alex Mazyck, Sweet Soul Bro !!H5XdMKmBv5G THE BASICS DICE NOTATION These rules use the following die notations: d2 = two sided die or coin d3 = three sided die d4 = four sided die d6 = six sided die d8 = eight sided die d10 = ten sided die d12 = twelve sided die d20 = twenty sided die d% = percentile dice (a number between 1 and 100 is generated by rolling two different ten-sided dice. One (designated before rolling) is the tens digit. The other is the ones digit. Two 0s represent 100.)
Die rolls are expressed in the format: [#] die type [+/- modifiers] Example: 3d6+2 means: "Roll 3 six sided dice. Add the result of the three dice together. Add 2."
ROUNDING FRACTIONS In general, if you wind up with a fraction, round down, even if the fraction is one-half or larger. Exception: Certain rolls, such as damage and hit points, have a minimum of 1.
MULTIPLYING Sometimes a special rule makes you multiply a number or a die roll. As long as you’re applying a single multiplier, multiply the number normally. When two or more multipliers apply, however, combine them into a single multiple, with each extra multiple adding to the value of the original multiplier. Thus, a double (x2) and a double (x2) applied to the same number results in a quadruple (x4, because 2 + 2 = 4).
BASIC TASK RESOLUTION SYSTEM These rules assume a standardized system for determining the success or failure of any given task. That system is: 3d6 + Modifiers vs. Target Number The Modifiers and Target Number are determined by the type of task. If the result of the 3d6 roll + the Modifiers equals or exceeds the Target Number, the test is successful. Any other result is a failure. A "natural 18" on the die roll is not an automatic success, unless the rules state otherwise. A "natural 3" on the die roll is not an automatic failure, unless the rules state otherwise.
Ability Scores The ability scores are the six scores that are the core of your character. They affect everything else about your character. It is possible for a creature to have a score of "none". A score of "none" is not the same as a score of "0". A score of "none" means that the creature does not possess the ability at all. The modifier for a score of "none" is +0. Ability Modifiers Each ability will have a modifier. The modifier can be calculated using this formula: (ability/2) - 5, rounded down. The modifier is the number you add to or subtract from the die roll when your character tries to do something related to that ability. A positive modifier is called a bonus, and a negative modifier is called a penalty. Strength and Dexterity are special skills, in that they have focuses.
Ability Focus When a character assigns their score and determines their ability modifiers for their Strength and Dexterity ability score, they then assign the separate ability modifier scores for Focus and Power, and Marksmanship and Agility, equal to their total Ability Modifers(A character with a Strength ability score of 16 could assign a +2 modifier in Focus, and a +1 modifier in Power.)
Strength Strength measures your character’s muscle and physical power. Strength also limits the amount of equipment your character can carry. Strength is split into two groups: Focus and Power.
You apply your Character's Strength modifier to:
• Athletics checks. This skill has Strength as its key ability. • Strength checks (for breaking down doors and the like). Focus: Focus encompasses a character's hand-eye coordination with a melee weapon.
You apply your Characters Focus modifier to:
• Melee attack rolls
Power: Power is the actual strength of the character.
You apply your character's Power modifier to:
• Damage rolls when using a melee weapon or a thrown weapon. (Exceptions: Off-hand attacks receive only one-half the character’s Power bonus, while two-handed attacks receive one and a half times the Power bonus.) A creature with no Strength score can't exert force, usually because it has no physical body or because it doesn't move. The creature automatically fails Strength checks. If the creature can attack, it applies its Dexterity modifier to its base attack instead of a Strength modifier.
Dexterity Dexterity measures hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, and balance. Dexterity is split into groups: Marksmanship and Agility.
You apply your Character's Dexterity modifier:
• Acrobatics, Drive, Pilot and Ride checks. These are the skills that have Dexterity as their key ability Marksmanship: Marksmanship encompasses a character's hand-eye coordination with a ranged weapon.
You apply your character’s Marksmanship modifier to:
• Ranged attack rolls, including those for attacks made with firearms and thrown weapons
Agility: Agility encompasses the character's overall movement.
You apply your character’s Agility modifier to: • Defense Score • Reflex saving throws • Initiative Score
A creature with no Dexterity score can't move. If it can act, it applies its Intelligence modifier to initiative checks instead of a Dexterity modifier. The creature fails all Reflex saves and Dexterity checks.
Constitution Constitution represents your character’s health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character’s Extended hit points, while a constitution penalty decreases the character's Extended hit points. A character's Core Hit Points is determined by their Constitution score
You apply your character’s Constitution modifier to:
• Determining the Extended hit points score
• Fortitude saving throws If a character’s Constitution score changes , the character’s Core Hit points change as well. If the Character's constitution score changes enough to alter his or her Constitution modifier, the character’s Core Hit points Extended hit points also increase or decrease accordingly, as well. A creature with no Constitution has no body or no metabolism. It is immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless the effect works on objects. The creature is also immune to ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain damage, and always fails Constitution checks. Intelligence Intelligence determines how well your character learns and reasons. Intelligence is important for any character who wants to have a wide assortment of skills. You apply your character’s Intelligence modifier to:
• The number of skill points a character gets at first level, and the number of skill points gained each level. (Every character always gets at least 1 skill point per level.)
• Craft, Demolitions, Disable Device, Knowledge, and Technology Use checks. These are the skills that have Intelligence as their key ability. Any creature that can think, learn, or remember has at least 1 point of Intelligence. A creature with no Intelligence score is an automaton, operating on simple instincts or programmed instructions. It is immune to all mind-influencing effects and automatically fails Intelligence checks Wisdom Wisdom describes a character’s willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition. While Intelligence represents one’s ability to analyze information, Wisdom represents being in tune with and aware of one’s surroundings. If you want your character to have acute senses, put a high score in Wisdom. Every creature has a Wisdom score. You apply your character’s Wisdom modifier to:
• Will saving throws
• Gamble, Perception, and Treat Injury checks. These are the skills that have Wisdom as their key ability. Any creature that can perceive its environment in any fashion has at least 1 point of Wisdom. Anything with no Wisdom score is an object, not a creature. Anything without a Wisdom score also has no Charisma score, and vice versa.
Charisma Charisma measures a character’s force of personality, persuasiveness, personal magnetism, ability to lead, and physical attractiveness. This ability represents actual strength of personality, not merely how one is perceived by others in a social setting. Every creature has a Charisma score. You apply your character’s Charisma modifier to:
• Animal Handling, Perform, Presence and Speechcraft checks. These are the skills that have Charisma as their key ability. Any creature capable of telling the difference between itself and things that are not itself has at least 1 point of Charisma.
Improving Ability Scores A character's stats can change in a multitude of ways, from poisons and diseases, to training. A character may also improve their ability score by practicing the ability.
In order for a character to improve an ability, they must practice it for one week per ability point improvement. After they have practiced the number of weeks they wish to study or practice for, they roll an ability check without modifiers(DC 12 + Number of points they wish to improve + Ability modifier ). If they succeed in the check, their ability score goes up the number of points selected. If they fail, they must restart the process. A character must maintain these upgrades with regular practice, by taking at least two hours out of each week to practice.
Common Ways to practice to improve ability scores
Strength
• Weight training • Anaerobic gym exercise • Melee Weapon Practice
Dexterity
• Yoga, and stretching • Gymnastics • Marksmanship Practice Constitution
• Cardiovascular training • Aerobic gym exercise
Intelligence
• Studying of academic subjects • Studying of debates, logic, and reasoning
Wisdom
• Situational Awareness training • Meditation
Charisma
• Practicing debating, arguing, and talking • Practicing persuading, intimidating and beguiling
Acquiring Ability Scores Ability scores can be achieved in a number of ways.
3d6 Method: Simply Roll 3d6, and take the score rolled.
4d6 Drop lowest dice Method: Roll 4d6, drop the lowest number rolled, and then take the score rolled.
Point Buy Method: The GM assigns a set number of points that the characters may use to purchase each separate ability score. (The average being 30 points). Each ability score starts at 8 for free, and then you must spend a number of points equal to the ability score's current ability modifier (minimum of 1) to advance one ability score point. No ability score may be increased above 18 using this method.
Table: Point Buy Values Score Point Cost 9 1 10 2 11 3 12 4 13 5 14 6 15 8 16 10 17 13 18 16 Grid Method: Draw a 3x3 grid. Label the columns as STR, DEX, and CON, then the rows as INT, WIS, and CHA. Roll 4d6, drop the lowest, re rolling all 1's. Do this nine times, until the grid is filled. Then for each ability, choose one score from the corresponding row or column. Once you've used a score, you can't use it again, so if you get one 18 it only counts towards one ability.
Array Method: The GM assigns a set array of 6 numbers, and the players input them in various ability scores, as wanted.
Experience and Leveling
XP: This column shows the experience point total needed to achieve a given character level.
Archetype Skill Max Ranks: The maximum number of skill ranks a character can have in a archetype skill.
Cross-Archetype Max Ranks: The maximum number of skill ranks a character can have in a cross archetype skill.

CHARACTER ARCHETYPES Archetype Descriptions
Ability This entry tells which ability is typically associated with that archetype.
Core Hit Points and Extended Hit Points Core Hit points measure how much true physical damage a character can withstand. Damage reduces Core HP only after all Extended Hit points are gone, or when a character is struck by a critical strike. Core Hit points are calculated using this Formula: Constitution Score + 2.
Extended Hit points are a measure of a character’s ability to turn a direct hit into a graze or a glancing blow with no serious consequences. Extended Hit points go up with level, giving high-level characters more ability to shrug off attacks. Most types of damage reduce Extended Hit points.
A player receives a set amount of Extended hit points as the character gains a new level. The character’s Constitution modifier is applied to this score. Combat Points Combat points are a measurement of how much a character can do in a single round. Each character has 15 Combat Points per round.
Archetype Skills This section of an archetype description provides a list of archetype skills and also gives the number of skill points the character starts with at 1st level and the number of skill points gained each level thereafter. A character’s Intelligence modifier is applied to determine the total skill points gained each level (but always at least 1 point per level, even for a character with an Intelligence penalty).
A 1st-level character starts with 5 times the number of skill points they receive upon attaining each level beyond 1st. The maximum ranks a character can have in an archetype skill is the character’s level + 4.
A character can also buy skills from other archetypes’ skill lists. Each skill point buys a half rank in these cross- archetype skills, and a character can only buy up to half the maximum ranks of an archetype skill.
Starting Feats The feats gained at 1st level in the archetype.

Multi-Archetype Characters A character may add new archetypes as they progress in levels, thereby becoming a multi-archetype character. The archetype abilities from all of a character’s archetypes combine to determine a multi-archetype character’s overall abilities.
Archetype and Level Features As a general rule, the abilities of a multi-archetype character are the sum of the abilities provided by each of the character’s archetypes.
Level “Character level” is a character’s total number of levels. It is used to determine when feats and skill score increases are gained “Archetype level” is the character’s level in a particular archetype. For a character whose levels are all in the same archetype, character level and archetype level are the same.
Hit Points A character gains Extended hit points from the archetype they selected adding the new hit points to the previous total. A character receives the Extended hit points per level, not the first level Extended hit points..
Base Attack Bonus Add the base attack bonuses for each archetype to get the character’s base attack bonus.
Saving Throws Add the base save bonuses for each archetype together.
Skills A multi-archetype character uses their character level to determine the maximum ranks the character can have in a skill. If a skill is an archetype skill for any of a multi-archetype character’s archetypes, then use character level to determine a skill’s maximum rank. (The maximum rank for an archetype skill is 4 + character level.) When a multi-archetype character gains a level in an archetype, they spend that level’s skill points as a member of that archetype. Only that archetype’s archetype skills may be purchased as archetype skills. All other skills, including skills for another archetype the character has levels in, are considered cross-archetype skills when ranks in those skills are purchased at this level.
Archetype Features The character gets most of the archetype features (talents, bonus feats, special abilities) for the levels they possess.
Special Ability A character does not gain the Special Ability for the archetype they choose.
Feats A multi-archetype character receives a new feat every odd character levels and two feats every even level, regardless of individual archetype level. Taking one level in a new archetype does not entitle a character to receive the three feats that a beginning 1st-level character gets.
Talents A multi-archetype character receives a new talent every odd archetypal level.
Adding a Second Archetype When a character with one archetype gains a level, they may choose to increase the level of their current archetype or pick up a new archetype at 1st level. The character gains the 1st-level base attack bonus, base save bonuses, archetype skills, other archetype features of the new archetype, hit points of the appropriate number, and the new archetype’s number of skill points gained at each additional level (not that number x5, as is the case for a 1st-level character).
Advancing a Level Each time a multi-archetype character attains a new level, the character either increases one of their current archetype levels by one or picks up a new archetype at 1st level. When a multi-archetype character increases one of their archetype levels by one, the character gets all the standard benefits that characters receive for attaining the new level in that archetype: more hit points, possible bonuses on attack rolls, and saving throws (depending on the archetype and the new level), a new archetype talent (as defined by the archetype), and new skill points. Skill points are spent according to the archetype that the multi-archetype character just advanced in. Skills are purchased at the cost appropriate for that archetype.
In general, a character can have levels in as many different archetypes as there are archetypes.
Name A name helps you define your character's background and ethnic origin. The name may fit your characters' abilities, or it may be dramatically different. A character's name also proves clues to his age and heritage
Gender The character's gender.
Age As the character ages, their physical ability scores decrease and their mental ability scores increase, as detailed on Table: Aging Effects. The effects of each aging step are cumulative.
Table: Aging Effects Age Category Ability Adjustments Child (1-11) -3 to Str and Con; -1 to Dex, Int, Wis, and Cha Young adult (12-15) Original scores Adult (16-39) Original scores Middle age (40-59) -2 to Str, Dex, and Con; +2 to Int, Wis, and Cha Old (60-79) -3 to Str, Dex, and Con; +3 to Int, Wis, and Cha Venerable (80+) -4 to Str, Dex, and Con; +4 to Int, Wis, and Cha
Height and Weight You can define how tall and how heavy your character is. When doing this, try and keep his ability scores in mind, and what they say on the overall appearance of your character.
Eye, Hair, and Skin color The physical appearance of the character. You can also denote any specific or unique markings on the character, such as tattoos, scars, moles, and freckles.
STARTING OCCUPATIONS
A character may hold other jobs as their career unfolds, but the benefits of a starting occupation are only applied once, at the time of character creation. Many starting occupations have initial requirements that the character must meet to qualify for the occupation. If a character is selecting their first occupation, they only need to meet the initial requirements, not the hiring requirements. Each occupation provides a number of additional permanent archetype skills that the character can select from a list of choices. Once selected, a permanent archetype skill is always considered to be an archetype skill for the character. If the skill selected is already an archetype skill for the character, they also gain a +1 bonus for that skill.
Every level, a character also receives an additional +1 in the selected skill they choose with their occupation.
The Wealth Points that received biweekly, and starting are considered surplus for whatever a character may need. Their housing, basic food, and clothing needs are taken care of.
Some starting occupations provide a bonus feat (in addition to the three feats a 1st-level character already receives). A character still must meet any prerequisites for these bonus feats. Finally, a starting occupation determines how many wealth points a character receives at starting, and what their bi-weekly salary is. Choose one occupation from the available selections and apply the benefits to the character as noted in the occupation’s description.
Changing Occupations A character will rarely keep one job their entire life, and it's often that they will change jobs. When changing jobs, the character first loses their current job, and becomes unemployed for at least two weeks, relinquishing their old salary. Then, if a character meets the requirements to enter their new job, they enter it, and pick one of the skills listed, and receive the new job's biweekly salary from now on. They do not select any of the bonus feats for the job, when entering it. They must meet both the starting requirements, and the Hiring requirements, in order to qualify for the job. Dilettante is special, as it is the only occupation that can not be entered.

Acquiring Skills At each level, a character gets skill points that are used to buy skills. The character's archetype and Intelligence modifier determine the number of points received. If the character buys an archetype skill, they get 1 rank in the skill for each skill point spent. If the character buys a cross-archetype skill, they get 1/2 rank per skill point. The maximum rank in an archetype skill is equal to character level + 4. The maximum rank in a cross-archetype skill is one-half of this number. Using Skills To make a skill check, roll:
3d6 + skill modifier (Skill modifier = skill ranks + ability modifier + miscellaneous modifiers)
Skill Ranks: A characters ranks in a skill is based on the number of skill points the character has invested in the skill. Some skills can be used even if the character has no ranks in the skill; doing this is known as making an untrained skill check.
Ability Modifier: The ability modifier used in the skill check is the modifier for the skill's key ability (the ability associated with the skill's use). The key ability of a skill is noted in its description. Miscellaneous Modifiers: Miscellaneous modifiers include bonuses provided by feats and archetype features, and penalties such as the ones associated with the non-proficient use of armor, among others.
Acquiring Skill Ranks Ranks indicate how much training or experience a character has with a given skill. Each skill has a number of ranks, from 0 (for a skill in which a character has no training at all) to 14 (for a 10th-level character who has increased an archetype skill to its maximum rank). When making a skill check, a character adds their skill ranks to the roll as part of the skill modifier. The rules assume that a character can always find a way to learn any skill. However, the GM can impose limits depending on circumstances and a given situation.
Taking 10 When your character is not being threatened or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 3d6 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10.
Taking 16 and 18 When you have plenty of time, and you are faced with no threats or distractions, and the skill being attempted carries no penalties for failure, You can take 16, which makes the task take ten times as long, or you can take 18, which makes the task take one hundred times as long. In other words, eventually you will get a 16 or an 18 on 3d6 if you roll enough times. Instead of rolling 3d6 for the skill check, just calculate your result as if you had rolled a 16 or 18.
Taking 16 means you are trying until you get it right, and it assumes that you fail 10 times before succeeding and taking 18 means you are trying until you get it right, and it assumes that you fail 100 times before succeeding.
Assisting A character can assist another character in their skillchecks when applicable. To assist a character in a skillcheck, the DC of the task is divided by 4, and the assisting character rolls their skill check in the applicable skill. If the character succeeds, the original character making the check gets a +1. For every full success beyond the original, the original character gains an additional +1.(Example: the assist DC is 4 and the assisting character rolls a 12, the original character gains a +3 from the assistance.) Acrobatics (Dexterity): This skill allows a character to keep their balance while traversing narrow or treacherous surfaces. The character can also dive, flip, jump, and roll to overcome obstacles, and twist their body to escape.
If you take damage while using Acrobatics, you must immediately make another Acrobatics check at the same DC to avoid falling or being knocked prone Surface Width DC Checks
Greater than 3 feet wide: 0* 1-3 feet wide: 5* 7-11 inches wide: 10 2-6 inches wide: 20 Less than 2 inches wide: 25 • No Acrobatics check is needed to move across these surfaces unless the modifiers to the surface (below) increase the DC to 10 or higher.
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at 1 Combat Point per 5 feet. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your Combat Point cost is increased due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. The DCs listed are used to avoid an attack of opportunity due to movement. This DC increases by 2 for each additional opponent avoided in 1 round.
Move through a threatened area: 10 + Opponent's Base Attack Bonus Move through an enemy's space: 15 + Opponent's Base Attack Bonus
You can also use the Acrobatics skill to make jumps or to soften a fall. The base DC to make a jump is equal to the distance to be crossed (if horizontal) or four times the height to be reached (if vertical). These DCs double if you do not have at least 10 feet of space to get a running start. The only Acrobatics modifiers that apply are those concerning the surface you are jumping from. If you fail this check by 4 or less, you can attempt a DC 15 Reflex save to grab hold of the other side after having missed the jump. If you fail the reflex save, you fail to make the jump completely and fall (or land prone, in the case of a vertical jump). For a running jump, the result of your Acrobatics check indicates the distance traveled in the jump (and if the check fails, the distance at which you actually land and fall prone). Halve this result for a standing long jump to determine where you land.
Acrobatics DC Modifiers Slightly obstructed (gravel, sand): +5 Severely obstructed (cavern, rubble): +10 Slightly slippery (wet): +5 Severely slippery (icy): +10 Slightly sloped (less than 45°): +5 Severely sloped (45° or more): +10 Slightly unsteady (boat in rough water): +5 Moderately unsteady (boat in a storm): +10 Severely unsteady (earthquake): +15 Move at normal Combat Point cost on narrow or uneven surfaces: +5* * This does not apply to checks made to jump.
You can use your acrobatics skills to to slip out of bonds and escape from grapples.
Rope/bindings: Binder's Base Attack bonus + 10 Grapple: Grappler's Base Attack Bonus + Focus modifier + 10
Try Again?: Varies. If the situation permits, you can make additional checks, or even take 16 or 18, as long as you're not being actively opposed. If the DC to escape from rope or bindings is higher than 18 + your Acrobatics skill bonus, you cannot escape from the bonds using Acrobatics.
Time: Making an acrobatics check to escape from bindings requires 1 minute of work. Escaping from a grapple or pin cost 6 Combat Points. All other Acrobatics check are made as part of another action or as a reaction to a situation.
Animal Handling(Charisma): The character is trained at working with animals, and can teach them tricks, get them to follow your simple commands, or even domesticate them.
Handle an Animal: This task involves commanding an animal to perform a task or trick that it knows. If the animal is wounded or has taken any nonlethal damage or ability score damage, the DC increases by 2. If your check succeeds, the animal performs the task or trick on its next action.
Push an Animal: To push an animal means to get it to perform a task or trick that it doesn't know but is physically capable of performing. This category also covers making an animal perform a forced march or forcing it to hustle for more than 1 hour between sleep cycles. If the animal is wounded or has taken any nonlethal damage or ability score damage, the DC increases by 2. If your check succeeds, the animal performs the task or trick on its next action.
Teach an Animal a Trick: You can teach an animal a specific trick with 1 week of work and a successful Animal Handling check against the indicated DC. An animal with an Intelligence score of 1 can learn a maximum of three tricks, while an animal with an Intelligence score of 2 can learn a maximum of six tricks. Possible tricks (and their associated DCs) include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.
* Attack (DC 20): The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks. * Come (DC 15): The animal comes to you, even if it normally would not do so. * Defend (DC 20): The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend another specific character. * Down (DC 15): The animal breaks off from combat or otherwise backs down. An animal that doesn't know this trick continues to fight until it must flee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated. * Fetch (DC 15): The animal goes and gets something. If you do not point out a specific item, the animal fetches a random object. * Guard (DC 20): The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching. * Heel (DC 15): The animal follows you closely, even to places where it normally wouldn't go. * Perform (DC 15): The animal performs a variety of simple tricks, such as sitting up, rolling over, roaring or barking, and so on. * Seek (DC 15): The animal moves into an area and looks around for anything that is obviously alive or animate.
* Stay (DC 15): The animal stays in place, waiting for you to return. It does not challenge other creatures that come by, though it still defends itself if it needs to. * Track (DC 20): The animal tracks the scent presented to it. (This requires the animal to have the scent ability.) * Work (DC 15): The animal pulls or pushes a medium or heavy load.
Train an Animal for a General Purpose: Rather than teaching an animal individual tricks, you can simply train it for a general purpose. Essentially, an animal's purpose represents a preselected set of known tricks that fit into a common scheme, such as guarding or heavy labor. The animal must meet all the normal prerequisites for all tricks included in the training package. If the package includes more than three tricks, the animal must have an Intelligence score of 2 or higher.
An animal can be trained for only one general purpose, though if the creature is capable of learning additional tricks (above and beyond those included in its general purpose), it may do so. Training an animal for a purpose requires fewer checks than teaching individual tricks does, but no less time.
* Combat Training (DC 20): An animal trained to bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel. Training an animal for combat riding takes 6 weeks. You may also upgrade an animal trained for riding to one trained for combat by spending 3 weeks and making a successful DC 20 Animal Handling check. The new general purpose and tricks completely replace the animal's previous purpose and any tricks it once knew. Many horses and riding dogs are trained in this way. * Fighting (DC 20): An animal trained to engage in combat knows the tricks attack, down, and stay. Training an animal for fighting takes 3 weeks. * Guarding (DC 20): An animal trained to guard knows the tricks attack, defend, down, and guard. Training an animal for guarding takes 4 weeks. * Heavy Labor (DC 15): An animal trained for heavy labor knows the tricks come and work. Training an animal for heavy labor takes 2 weeks. * Hunting (DC 20): An animal trained for hunting knows the tricks attack, down, fetch, heel, seek, and track. Training an animal for hunting takes 6 weeks. * Performance (DC 15): An animal trained for performance knows the tricks come, fetch, heel, perform, and stay. Training an animal for performance takes 5 weeks. * Riding (DC 15): An animal trained to bear a rider knows the tricks come, heel, and stay. Training an animal for riding takes 3 weeks.
Rear a Wild Animal: To rear an animal means to raise a wild creature from infancy so that it becomes domesticated. A handler can rear as many as three creatures of the same kind at once.
A successfully domesticated animal can be taught tricks at the same time it's being raised, or it can be taught as a domesticated animal later.
Try Again?: Yes, except for rearing an animal.
Time: Varies. Handling an animal cost 6 Combat Points, while pushing an animal is 12 Combat Points. For tasks with specific time frames noted above, you must spend half this time (at the rate of 3 hours per day per animal being handled) working toward completion of the task before you attempt the Animal Handling check. If the check fails, your attempt to teach, rear, or train the animal fails and you need not complete the teaching, rearing, or training time. If the check succeeds, you must invest the remainder of the time to complete the teaching, rearing, or training. If the time is interrupted or the task is not followed through to completion, the attempt to teach, rear, or train the animal automatically fails.
Athletics(Strength): The character is skilled at scaling vertical surfaces, and know how to swim and can do so even in stormy water.
Make an Athletics check once per round while you are in the water. Success means you may swim at 5 feet per 3 Combat Points. If you fail by 4 or less, you make no progress. If you fail by 5 or more, you go underwater.
If you are underwater, either because you failed an athletics check or because you are swimming underwater intentionally, you must hold your breath. You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to twice your Constitution score, but only if you spend less than 4 Combat Points. If you spend more than 4 Combat Points, the remainder of the duration for which you can hold your breath is reduced by 1 round. After that period of time, you must make a DC 10 Constitution check every round to continue holding your breath. Each round, the DC for that check increases by 1. If you fail the Constitution check, you begin to drown. The DC for the check depends on the water, as given on the table below.
Swim DC Calm water: 10 Rough water: 15 Stormy water: 20* * You can't take 10 on a Swim check in stormy water, even if you aren't otherwise being threatened or distracted.
Each hour that you swim, you must make a DC 20 athletics check or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage from fatigue.
With a successful athletics check, you can advance up, down, or across a slope, wall, or other steep incline (or even across a ceiling, provided it has handholds) at 4 Combat Points per 5 feet.. A slope is considered to be any incline at an angle measuring less than 60 degrees; a wall is any incline at an angle measuring 60 degrees or more.
An athletics check that fails by 4 or less means that you make no progress, and one that fails by 5 or more means that you fall from whatever height you have already attained.
The DC of the check depends on the conditions of the climb. Compare the task with those on the following table to determine an appropriate DC.
Climb DC A slope too steep to walk up, or a knotted rope with a wall to brace against: 0 A rope with a wall to brace against, or a knotted rope: 5 Surface with ledges to hold on to and stand on, such as a very rough wall or a ship's rigging: 10 Any surface with adequate handholds and footholds (natural or artificial), such as a very rough natural rock surface or a tree, or an unknotted rope, or pulling yourself up when dangling by your hands: 15 An uneven surface with narrow handholds and footholds, such as a typical wall in a cavern: 20 A rough surface, such as a natural rock wall or a brick wall: 25 An overhang or ceiling with handholds only: 30 A perfectly smooth, flat vertical (or inverted) surface cannot be climbed: - Climb DC Modifier* Example Surface or Activity Climbing a chimney (artificial or natural) or other location where you can brace against two opposite walls: -10 Climbing a corner where you can brace against perpendicular walls: -5 Surface is slippery: +5
*These modifiers are cumulative; use all that apply. You need both hands free to climb, but you may cling to a wall with one hand while you fire a gun or take some other action that requires only one hand. While climbing, you can't move to avoid a blow, so you lose your Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any). Anytime you take damage while climbing, make an athletics check against the DC of the slope or wall. Failure means you fall from your current height and sustain the appropriate falling damage.
Make Your Own Handholds and Footholds: You can make your own handholds and footholds by pounding pitons into a wall. Doing so takes 1 minute per piton, and one piton is needed per 5 feet of distance. As with any surface that offers handholds and footholds, a wall with pitons in it has a DC of 15. In the same way, a climber with a handaxe or similar implement can cut handholds in an ice wall.
Catch Yourself When Falling: It's practically impossible to catch yourself on a wall while falling, yet if you wish to attempt such a difficult task, you can make a Climb check (DC = wall's DC + 20) to do so. It's much easier to catch yourself on a slope (DC = slope's DC + 10).
Catch a Falling Character While Climbing: If someone climbing above you or adjacent to you falls, you can attempt to catch the falling character if they are within your reach. Doing so requires a successful melee touch attack against the falling character (though they can voluntarily forgo any Dexterity bonus to Defense if desired). If you hit, you must immediately attempt an athletics check (DC = wall's DC + 10). Success indicates that you catch the falling character, but his total weight, including equipment, cannot exceed your heavy load limit or you automatically fall. If you fail your Athletics check by 4 or less, you fail to stop the character's fall but don't lose your grip on the wall. If you fail by 5 or more, you fail to stop the character's fall and begin falling as well.
Special: A creature that can swim can move through water without making Athletics checks. It gains a +8 racial bonus on any Athletics check to perform a special action or avoid a hazard. The creature can always choose to take 10 on an Athletics check, even if distracted or endangered when swimming. You can use a rope to haul a character upward (or lower a character) through sheer strength. You can lift double your maximum load in this manner. Try Again?: Yes, if the situation permits.
Time: A successful athletics check allows you to swim at 3 Combat Points per 5 feet. Climbing is part of movement and has normal movement rate. Each movement that includes any climbing requires a separate athletics check. Catching yourself or another falling character doesn't take any Combat Points.
Craft(Intelligence): You are skilled at making various objects and substances.
This skill encompasses several categories, each of them treated as a separate skill: Craft (chemical), Craft (electronic), Craft (mechanical), Craft (pharmaceutical), Craft (structural), Craft (visual arts), and Craft (writing).
Craft skills are specifically focused on creating objects. To use a Craft skill effectively, a character must have a kit or some other set of basic tools. The wealth point cost of this equipment varies according to the particular Craft skill.
To use Craft, first decide what the character is trying to make and consult the category descriptions below. If the character has enough wealth points to purchase the raw materials, make the Craft check against the given DC for the object in question. If the character fails the check, they do not make the object, and the raw materials are wasted (unless otherwise noted).
Generally, a character can take 10 when using a Craft skill to construct an object, but can't take 16 or 18 (since doing so represents multiple attempts, and the character uses up the raw materials after the first attempt). The exception is Craft (writing); a character can take 16 or 18 because the character does not use up any raw materials (and thus no Wealth Points are required to use the skill). A character can take 10 or take 16 or 18 on a repairing check. When making a repair check to accomplish a jury-rig repair, a character can’t take 16 or 18.
The character can try as many times as they'd like, as long as they can afford the raw materials cost for each attempt.
Craft (Chemical) Trained Only: This skill allows a character to mix chemicals to create acids, bases, explosives, and poisonous substances.
Acids and Bases: Acids are corrosives substances that react with metals and carbonates. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposites of acids, that neutralize acids but are not as strong as acids. A base of a certain type counteracts an acid of the same type or a less potent type.
Type of Acid Mild (1d6/4d6)* Potent (2d6/8d6)* Concentrated (3d6/12d6)* *The dice rolls in parentheses are typical contact damage/immersion damage caused per round of immersion.
Type of Base Mild (1d4/3d4)* Potent (2d4/6d4)* Concentrated (3d4/9d4)* *The dice rolls in parentheses are typical contact damage/immersion damage caused per round of immersion.
Craft DC: The DC of the Craft check to create a quantity of the acid or base.
Time: The amount of time required for the Craft check.
Wealth Point Cost: The wealth point cost represents the cost of the raw materials to craft the acid or base. To Purchase a bottle of the pre-crafted substance, add 5 to the wealth point cost.
Explosives: Building an explosive from scratch is dangerous. If the Craft (chemical) check fails, the raw materials are wasted. If the check fails by 5 or more, the explosive compound detonates as it is being made, dealing half of its intended damage to the builder and anyone else in the burst radius.
If the check succeeds, the final product is a unit of the intended explosive. An explosive compound does not include a fuse or detonator. Connecting a fuse or detonator requires a Demolitions check.
Poisonous Substances: Solid poisons are usually ingested. Liquid poisons are most effective when injected directly into the bloodstream. Gaseous poisons must be inhaled to be effective. The table summarizes the characteristics of various poisons.
Save DC: The Difficulty Class of the Fortitude save to negate the effects of the poison.
Initial Damage: The damage a character takes immediately upon failing their Fortitude save.
Secondary Damage: The damage a character takes after 1 minute of exposure to the poison if the character fails a second saving throw. Ability score damage is temporary, unless marked with an asterisk, in which case the damage is permanent ability drain.
Wealth Point Cost: The wealth point cost represents the cost of the raw materials to craft the poison. To purchase one bottle of solid or liquid poison or one high-pressure cylinder of gaseous poison, add 5 to the wealth point cost. A bottle holds four doses, while a cylinder holds enough gas to fill a 10-foot-radius area. Craft DC: The DC of the Craft check to create a quantity of the poison.
Time: The amount of time required for the Craft check.
If the Craft check succeeds, the final product is a synthesized solid or liquid poison stored in a bottle (containing 5 doses) or a gas stored in a pressurized cylinder. When released, the gas is sufficient to fill a 10-foot-radius area and takes 1 round to fill the area.

A character without a chemistry kit takes a -6 penalty on Craft (chemical) checks.
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Earth and Life Sciences)can choose Craft(Chemical) to receive a +2 synergy bonus. If the character chooses Craft(Chemical), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill. Craft (Electronic) Trained only: This skill allows a character to build electronic equipment from scratch, such as audio and video equipment, timers and listening devices, or radios and communication devices. When building an electronic device from scratch, the character describes the kind of device they want to construct; then the GM decides whether the device fits the definition of a simple, moderate, complex, or advanced compared to current technology.
Simple: This category includes items such as clocks, timers, simple circuits, single mode detonators, and other simple electronics. The DC for these items is 15, the wealth point cost for a simple device will not exceed 4, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 2 hours.
Moderate: This category includes items such as electronic locks, radios, televisions and remote controls. The DC for these items is 20, the wealth point cost for a moderate device will not exceed 20, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 12 hours.
Complex: This category includes items such as computers, cell phones, GPS equipment, and Camcorders. The DC for these items is 25, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 25, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 24 hours.
Advanced: This category includes items such as server towers, the wiring system for a automobile, and the electrical system for a robot. The DC for these items is 30, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 500, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 60 hours.
Repairing Most Repair checks are made to fix complex or advanced electronic devices. The DC is set by the GM. In general, simple repairs have a DC of 10 to 15 and require no more than a few minutes to accomplish. More complex repair work has a DC of 20 or higher and can require an hour or more to complete. Making repairs also involves a monetary cost when spare parts or new components are needed, represented by either buying or procuring them. If the GM decides this isn’t necessary for the type of repair the character is attempting, then the parts are not required. A character can choose to attempt to jury-rig, or make temporary repairs. Doing this reduces the Repair check DC by 5, and allows the character to make the checks for 12 Combat Points. However, a jury-rigged repair can only fix a single problem with a check, and the temporary repair only lasts until the end of the current scene or encounter. The jury-rigged object must be fully repaired thereafter.
Table: Repair Repair Task Example Wealth Repair DC Time Point Cost Simple 1 10 1 min. Moderate 3 15 10 min. Complex 6 20 1 hr. Advanced 12 25 10 hr.
A character can also jury-rig and jump-start an electronic device. The DC for this is at least 15, and it can be higher depending on the presence of security devices.
A character without an electronics tool kit takes a -6 penalty on Craft (electronic) checks.
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Technology) gets a +2 synergy bonus to all Craft(Electronic) checks
Craft (Mechanical) Trained Only:
This skill allows a character to build mechanical devices from scratch, including engines and engine parts, weapons, and other gadgets. When building a mechanical device from scratch, the character describes the kind of device they want to construct, then the GM decides whether the device fits the definition of a simple, moderate, complex, or advanced compared to current technology.
Simple: This category includes items such as simple mechanical components, single mode detonators, and simple tools. The DC for these items is 15, the wealth point cost for a simple device will not exceed 4, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 2 hours.
Moderate: This category includes items such as mechanical locks, components for an engine, single, double shot, and bolt action firearms* and complex tools. The DC for these items is 20, the wealth point cost for a moderate device will not exceed 11, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 12 hours.
Complex: This category includes items such as car engines, and Lever/pump/Single action firearms*, and. The DC for these items is 25, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 25, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 24 hours. Advanced: This category includes items such as jet engines, complete automobiles, and Semi-automatic, Automatic, and select-fire firearms*. The DC for these items is 30, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 500, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 60 hours.
Performing Upgrades
A character can perform their own upgrades for their weapons, saving on the cost of sending the weapons out for service, and in the case of more illegal upgrades, attracting the attention of police.
Table: Ranged Weapon Upgrades Classification of Upgrade Cost Time Craft DC Upgrade Barrel Upgrades 50% of Normal 100% of Normal 15 + 5 per barrel Cost Time upgrade already performed on the firearm Optics Upgrades 80% of Normal 100% of Normal 10 Cost Time Ergonomics and 50% of Normal 80% of Normal 13 + 5 per frame Aesthetics Cost Time upgrade already Upgrades performed on the firearm Firing Mode 30 % of 100% of Normal 30 + 10 per firing Upgrades Normal Cost Time mode upgrade already performed on the firearm Internal Upgrades 60% of Normal 100% of Normal 40 for Precision Cost Time Upgrade and Clockwork action 15 for Sawed-Off and Tighten Drawstring Tactical Upgrades 50% of Normal 100% of Normal 15 Cost Time
Reloading
Reloading is the act of creating complete ammunition from components. A single round of ammunition has four parts: The casing, the primer, the powder, and the payload.
The casing: The casing is the part of the ammunition that holds all of the components together. This is the piece that is ejected after it is fired, and can be used again, if it it undamaged. Cased round ammunition's casing is usually composed of brass, or less frequently, aluminum or steel.
The primer: The primer is a small metal cup containing the primary explosive for the round of ammunition. When the firing pin strikes the primer, it ignites the explosive, which in turn ignites the powder and sends the payload on it's way. Primer are a one-time use object, but are generally inexpensive. There are certain types of ammunition where the primer is actually embedded in the casing. These types of ammo are unreloadable, as they require massive, complex manufacturing equipment.
The powder: The powder is the main explosive for ammunition, and is the explosive that propels the bullet down the barrel of a firearm. Powder spans from the archaic black powder, still in use by some handloaders, to modern smokeless powder which is used in nearly all modern ammunition. Since the powder is burnt up when the ammunition is fired, it is impossible to reuse(As there isn't any to reuse). One pound of powder is enough to create a single batch of ammunition.
The payload: The payload is the object fired from the firearm, which can range from plain lead bullets to rubber buckshot. The payload is almost always destroyed or deformed too much to be reusable, if it can even be found.
Creating a batch of ammunition requires a full batch of each component, and the amount created in every batch is dependent on the type of ammunition created, as shown in Table: Ammunition batches. It takes about 4 hours to create a batch of ammunition. If a character fails the craft check, the ammunition is still made, but for every point below the Craft DC, 10% of the ammunition is unusable and unrecoverable, and should be thrown out. If any of this ammunition is used, the firearm will explode, dealing the caliber's damage to the user, and destroys the firearm in the process.
Reloading can not be done without a Reloading Kit, and any attempt to reload without one will result in a failure, ruining all of the components in the process.

Repairing Most repair checks are made to fix complex or advanced mechanical devices. The DC is set by the GM. In general, simple repairs have a DC of 10 to 15 and require no more than a few minutes to accomplish. More complex repair work has a DC of 20 or higher and can require an hour or more to complete. Making repairs also involves a monetary cost when spare parts or new components are needed, represented by either buying or procuring them. If the GM decides this isn’t necessary for the type of repair the character is attempting, then the parts are not required.
A character can choose to attempt to jury-rig, or make temporary repairs. Doing this reduces the repair check DC by 5, and allows the character to make the checks for 12 Combat Points. However, a jury-rigged repair can only fix a single problem with a check, and the temporary repair only lasts until the end of the current scene or encounter. The jury-rigged object must be fully repaired thereafter.
Table: Repair Repair Task Example Wealth Repair DC Time Point Cost Simple 1 10 1 min. Moderate 3 15 10 min. Complex 6 20 1 hr. Advanced 12 25 10 hr.
A character can also jury-rig and hot-wire a car or jump-start an engine. The DC for this is at least 15, and it can be higher depending on the presence of security devices.
A character without a mechanics tool kit takes a -6 penalty on Craft (mechanical) checks.
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Physical Sciences)can choose Craft(Mechanical) to receive a +2 synergy bonus. If the character chooses Craft(Mechanical), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill.
Craft (Pharmaceutical) Trained Only: This skill allows a character to compound medicinal drugs to aid in recovery from treatable illnesses, and aid in recovering health.
Acids and Bases: Acids are corrosives substances that react with metals and carbonates. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposites of acids, that neutralize acids but are not as strong as acids. A base of a certain type counteracts an acid of the same type or a less potent type.
Type of Acid Mild (1d6/4d6)* Potent (2d6/8d6)* Concentrated (3d6/12d6)* *The dice rolls in parentheses are typical contact damage/immersion damage caused per round of immersion.
Type of Base Mild (1d4/3d4)* Potent (2d4/6d4)* Concentrated (3d4/9d4)* *The dice rolls in parentheses are typical contact damage/immersion damage caused per round of immersion.
Antibacterial/Antiviral: These are medicines that help combat disease. An antibacterial/Antiviral drug gives an equipment bonus on Fortitude saves made to resist the effects of a disease. The amounts listed is for five doses.
Analgesics/Painkillers: These medicines allow a character to ignore pain, and allow them to continue fighting, but only for a limited time. When the effects wear off, the healing affect of the painkillers go with it. Painkillers can only be given to a character with at least 1 Extended HP. A player who has 0 or less Core HP has suffered serious injuries and must receive medical attention, and can not use painkillers. Painkillers only affect Extended HP. Painkillers can be crafted to last longer, heal more Extended HP, or Both. Each upgrade increases the Raw material Wealth Cost by +3. The amount listed is for one dose.
Hemostatic Medicine: These Medicines promote the clotting of blood. They reduce the bleed damage based on the level of the hemostat. (For example, a character with a bleed damage of 4d3 would need a Hemostat that reduced 4 bleed damage to completely stop bleeding.) Hemostats can be crafted to last longer, heal more bleed damage, or Both. Each upgrade increases the Raw material Wealth Cost by +2. The amount listed is for two doses.
Antiseptics Medicine: Antiseptics are substances that are applied to destroy microorganisms that are living on objects. These Medicines give a bonus to all Treat Injury checks when used. The amount listed is for four doses
Antidote: Antidotes are substances that are used to counteract poison. A specific antidote is used for a specific poison, and the character must figure out what kind of poison was used(DC 22 Knowledge(Earth and Life Science)). The amount listed is for a single dose.

A character without a chemistry kit takes a -6 penalty on Craft (pharmaceutical) checks.
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Earth and Life Sciences)can choose Craft(Pharmaceutical) to receive a +2 synergy bonus. If the character chooses Craft(Pharmaceutical), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill. Craft (Structural): This skill allows a character to build wooden, concrete, or metal structures from scratch, including bookcases, desks, walls, houses, and so forth, and includes such handyman skills as plumbing, house painting, drywall, laying cement, and building cabinets, as well as craft and repair armor and the structural integrity of vehicles. When building a structural device from scratch, the character describes the kind of device they want to construct, then the GM decides whether the device fits the definition of a simple, moderate, complex, or advanced based on the difficulty. Simple: This category includes items such as bookshelves, chairs, small tables and Simple Melee Weapons*. The DC for these items is 15, the wealth point cost for a simple device will not exceed 4, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 2 hours.
Moderate: This category includes items such as decks, small boats, siege equipment, sheds and Archaic Melee Weapons*. The DC for these items is 20, the wealth point cost for a moderate device will not exceed 20, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 12 hours.
Complex: This category includes items such as bunkers, armories and some Exotic Melee Weapons*. The DC for these items is 25, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 25, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 60 hours.
Advanced: This category includes houses of all types. The DC for these items is 30, the wealth point cost for a complex device will not exceed 500, and the time taken to build it will not exceed 600 hours.
*The Craft DC for a Melee Weapon fluctuate with the complexity of the melee weapon.
Weaponsmithing
Weaponsmithing is the process of repairing, building, designing and modifying melee weapons, and thrown weapons. It encompasses both woodworking and metalworking to create functional, strong weapons.
Crafting a brand new melee weapon When crafting a new weapon, a character must first pick what current category the weapon would fit into, as well as the type of weapon. Variations on a weapon can quickly change a weapon's category and type.
Crafting a Melee weapon has the advantage of losing the improvised weapon penalties, including the error range for breaking.
The time listed when crafting the weapons is the average, different factors can change the speed of the weapon.

Personalized Weapons
A personalized weapon is a weapon built from the ground up for a particular individual, based on the user's preference, size, and other specifications. A character may craft a personalized weapon for anyone at their request, but the user must be proficient in the weapon in order to gain the benefit. A personalized weapon grants a +4 attack bonus, a +1 damage bonus and the combat point cost for any action involving the weapon is 1 point less for the intended user. Anyone who is not the intended user of the weapon uses it as if it were a normal weapon. When crafting a personalized weapon, the DC for the weapon is increased by 10, the raw material wealth point cost is increased by 4 times, and the time is doubled. A personalized weapon must be named, either by the intended user, or by the crafter, if the intended user does not give a name.
Performing Upgrades
A weaponsmith may perform his own upgrades to weapons, at half cost of the price of a normal upgrade. The DC to perform any melee weapon upgrade is 17, and takes the normal amount of time it takes to perform the upgrade.
Extra Upgrade Slots and Built-in Upgrades.
A weapon may be crafted with extra slots for melee weapon upgrades. This increases the DC by 5 per upgrade slot, the Wealth point cost doubled and the time by a day. A weapon may also be crafted with the upgrades already built in, taking up the slot that would normally take when upgrading it as normal. The upgrade cost the same amount as it would to normally upgrade but only takes half the time, and the DC to craft the weapon is +1 per upgrade. A character without a construction tool kit takes a -6 penalty on Craft (Structural) checks.
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Physical Sciences)can choose Craft(Structural) to receive a +2 synergy bonus. If the character chooses Craft(Structural), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill.
Repairing Damaged Armor and Vehicles
A character can use Craft: Structural to repair used Armor and Vehicles.
Repairing damage to a vehicle takes a full hour of work, a mechanical tool kit, a garage or some other suitable facility, and 5 WP of raw materials. (Without the tool kit, a character takes a -6 penalty on their Craft check.) At the end of the hour, make a Craft(Structural) check (DC 20). Success restores 2d6 hit points. If damage remains, the character may continue to make repairs for as many hours as it takes to restore all of the vehicle’s hit points, provided they have enough money for the raw materials.
Repairing damage to armor takes 30 minutes of work, a mechanical tool kit, and 2 WP of raw materials. (Without the tool kit, a character takes a -6 penalty on their Craft check.) At the end of the half hour, make a Craft(Structural) check (DC 20). Success restores 1d4 armor points. If damage remains, the character may continue to make repairs for as many minutes as it takes to restore all of the armors armor points.
Craft (Visual Art): This skill allows a character to create paintings or drawings, take photographs, use a video camera, or in some other way create a work of visual art. When attempting to create a work of visual art, the character simply makes a Craft (visual art) check, the result of which determines the quality of the work. Unless the effort is particularly elaborate or the character must acquire an expensive piece of equipment, the basic components has a wealth point cost of 4.
Creating a work of visual art requires at least 12 Combat Points, but usually takes an hour, a day, or more, depending on the scope of the project.
Table: Visual Art Crafting Effort Achieved Skill Check Result Untalented Amateur 0-9 Talented Amateur 10-19 Professional 20-24 Expert 25-30 Master 31+
The character can also use Craft(Visual art) to create false documents. The complexity of the document, the character's degree of familiarity with it, and whether the character needs to reproduce the signature or handwriting of a specific individual, provide modifiers to the Craft Check
The Craft(Visual art) skill is also used to detect someone else's forgery. The result of the original Craft check that created the document is opposed by a Craft check by the person who examines the document to check its authenticity. If the examiner's check result is equal to or higher than the original check, the document is determined to be fraudulent. The examiner gains bonuses or penalties on their check.
Forgery Check Modifier Type of document unknown to examiner: -4 Type of document somewhat known to examiner: -2 Type of document well known to examiner: +0 Document is put through additional tests: +4 Examiner only casually reviews the document: -2
Table: Forgery Document Type Modifier Time Taken Simple(Business Card, Name Tag, +0 10 Minutes Typed Letter) Moderate(Letterhead, Business Form) -2 20 Minutes Complex(Stock Certificate, Driver's -4 1 hour License) Difficult(Passport) -8 4 hours Impossible(Military/Law -15 1 day Enforcement ID) Familiarity Modifier Unfamiliar -4 Slightly Familiar 0 Very Familiar +4 Forger has experience in type of +6 document Document includes specific insignia -4 or signature
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Art) can choose Craft(Visual Art) to receive a +2 synergy bonus. If the character chooses Craft(Visual Art), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill.
A character can not try again since the forger isn't sure of the quality of the original forgery.
Special: To forge documents and detect forgeries, one must be able to read and write the language in question. (The skill is language dependent.)
A character can take 10 when making a Forgery check, but can't take 16 or 18. A character without a forgery kit takes a -6 penalty on Forgery checks to create a document, and a character without an authentication kit takes a -6 on Forgery checks to detect a forgery.
Craft (Writing): This skill allows a character to create short stories, novels, scripts and screenplays, newspaper articles and columns, and similar works of writing. When creating a work of writing, the player simply makes a Craft (writing) check, the result of which determines the quality of the work. The wealth point cost is negligible. Creating a work of writing requires at least 1 hour, but usually takes a day, a week, or more, depending on the scope of the project.
Table: Writing Crafting Effort Achieved Skill Check Result Untalented Amateur 0-9 Talented Amateur 10-19 Professional 20-24 Expert 25-30 Master 31+
A character with 7 ranks in Knowledge(Art) can choose Craft(Writing) to receive a +2 synergy bonus to. If the character chooses Craft(Writing), they cannot apply the synergy bonus to any other skill.
Demolitions (Intelligence) Trained Only: You are successfully trained in arming, planting, and preparing an explosive device for detonation.
Check: Setting a simple explosive to blow up at a certain spot doesn't require a check, but connecting and setting a detonator does. Also, placing an explosive for maximum effect against a structure calls for a check, as does disarming an explosive device.
Set Detonator: Most explosives require a detonator to go off. Connecting a detonator to an explosive requires a Demolitions check (DC 10). Failure means that the explosive fails to go off as planned. Failure by 10 or more means the explosive goes off as the detonator is being installed.
A character can make an explosive difficult to disarm. To do so, the character chooses the disarm DC before making their check to set the detonator (it must be higher than 10). The character's DC to set the detonator is equal to the disarm DC.
Place Explosive Device: Carefully placing an explosive against a fixed structure (a stationary, unattended inanimate object) can maximize the damage dealt by exploiting vulnerabilities in the structure's construction. The GM makes the check (so that the character doesn't know exactly how well they have done). On a result of 15 or higher, the explosive deals double damage to the structure against which it is placed. On a result of 25 or higher, it deals triple damage to the structure. In all cases, it deals normal damage to all other targets within its burst radius.
Disarm Explosive Device: Disarming an explosive that has been set to go off requires a Demolitions check. The DC is usually 10, unless the person who set the detonator chose a higher disarm DC. If the character fails the check, they do not disarm the explosive. If the character fails by more than 5, the explosive goes off.
A character can take 10 when using the Demolitions skill, but can't take 16 or 18. A character without a demolitions kit takes a -6 penalty on Demolitions checks.
Try again?: If time permits, and the explosive has not gone off, yes. Time: Setting a detonator cost 10 Combat Points. Placing an explosive device takes 1 minute or more, depending on the scope of the job.
Disable Device (Intelligence) Trained Only: The character is skilled at disarming security devices and opening locks. In addition, this skill lets you sabotage simple mechanical devices, such as locks, and firearms.
Open Lock: A character can pick conventional locks, finesse combination locks, and bypass electronic locks. The character must have a lockpicking kit (for a mechanical lock) or an electronics kit (for an electronic lock). The DC depends on the quality of the lock.
Lock DC Cheap: 10 Average: 15 High quality: 20 High security: 25 Ultra-high security: 35
Cheap Locks: Examples of cheap locks include briefcase locks, combination locks, and weak padlocks.
Average Locks: Examples of average locks include home deadbolt locks, standard padlocks,keypad locks, and RF-ID locks.
High Quality Locks: Examples of high quality locks include business deadbolt locks, high quality padlocks,and encrypted card readers.
High Security Locks: Examples of high security locks include bank branch vaults,and biometric locks.
Ultra-High Security Locks: Examples of ultra-high security locks include bank headquarters vault, or locks to a government high security area.
Disable Security Device: A character can disable a security device, such as an electric fence, motion sensors, or security cameras. The character must be able to reach the actual device. If the device is monitored, the fact that the character attempted to disable it will probably be noticed. When disabling a monitored device, the character can prevent their tampering from being noticed. Doing so requires 10 minutes and an electrical kit, and increases the DC of the check by +5.
Device Type DC Cheap: 15 Average: 25 High quality: 30 High security: 35 Ultrahigh security: 40
Cheap Device: Examples of cheap security devices include home door alarms, barbed wire, and improvised alarms such as noisemakers and tripwires.
Average Device: Examples of average security devices include store security cameras, razor wire, and simple motion detectors.
High Quality Devices: Examples of high security devices include infrared security cameras, advanced motion detectors, and electric fences.
High Security Devices: Examples of high security devices include alarms to a bank vault, land mines, and glass sensors.
Ultrahigh Security Devices: Examples of ultrahigh security devices include military motion detectors.
Sabotage device: A character can sabotage a mechanical or electrical device, such as a firearm, a piece of electrical equipment, or a tool. The skill check is made to see how well the sabotage attempt is made versus Perception checks, and set the DC for the repair check.
Try again?: If the situation permits, yes.
Time: Opening a lock and Disabling a Device cost 12 Combat Points . Sabotaging a device cost 10 Combat Points.
Drive (Dexterity): The character is trained how to drive in unusual circumstances, such as inclement weather, or during a dramatic situation, such as being chased, or attempting to reach a location quickly. A character does not need any ranks in drive in order to drive a civilian car, truck, or motorcycle. When driving, the character can attempt simple maneuvers or stunts. See Driving a Vehicle for more details.
Try Again?: Most driving checks have consequences for failure that make trying again impossible.
Special: A character can take 10 when driving, but can't take 16 or 18.
There is no penalty for operating a general-purpose motor vehicle. Other types of motor vehicles (heavy wheeled, powerboat, sailboat, ship, and tracked) require the corresponding Surface Vehicle Operation feat, or the character takes a -4 penalty on Drive checks.
Time: A Drive check cost 6 Combat Points.
Gamble(Wisdom): The Character is skilled at games of chance, able to make educated guesses, and use his prowess to win money.
To join or start a game, a character must first pay a stake. The character sets the wealth point cost if they start the game, or the GM sets it if the character joins a game. Stakes run from penny-ante (1 WP) to astronomical (100000 WP). A Character can play a number of different games, each using the gamble skill in different ways.
Roulette: The character first makes a bet between 1-100. The character can bet against evens, odds, lows(numbers between 1-50), and highs(51-100), which have a 100% return if the character wins. The characters can bet against quarters(1-25, 26-50, 51-75,or 76-100) , which have a 200% return if the character wins. The Character can also bet against a single number(1-100), which has a 10,000% return if the character wins. After the character has selected his bet, he can choose to use his Gamble modifier to affect the roll. He can choose to change the roll either positively or negatively, up to the amount of their Gamble skill modifier. The number rolls around if the number goes over(Example: A roll of 99, with a positive change of 5, would cause the end number to be 4, and a roll of 3 with a negative change of 5 would cause the end number to be 98) If he wishes to do this, he must state that he wants to do this before the GM rolls. After all of the characters have placed their bets and are ready, the GM rolls a d%, and determines if anyone has won, and distributes the wealth points accordingly.
Poker: The characters first ante up an equal number of wealth points before the cards are passed out. Each character then rolls 5d12 secretly from one another(But not the GM). Each character can then reroll 1 dice per 4 ranks of gamble they have(To a maximum of 5 dice). The characters can then ante up more wealth points if they'd like, stick with their hand, or fold. If a character ante's up, all other characters must meet the character’s ante, or put in all they have, if they cannot.
If there are many characters participating, the GM can opt to make a single roll for all of them, using the highest Gamble skill modifier among them and adding a +2 bonus to the check, before rerolling. If the character beats all other participants, they win and gain all of the Wealth Points bet by the participants. If playing at a casino, assume the house has a Gamble skill modifier equal to the level of wealth points cost.

Full House A set of three of a kind plus a pair(Ex: 10,10,10, 2 and 2)
Three of a Kind Any three numbers of the same value (Ex: 7,7,7,4 and 2) Highest value wins, in a tie. Two pair Two separate pairs(12,12, 2,2 and 4) Highest value of both pairs wins, in a tie. Pair A pair of numbers of the same value(Ex: 10,10, 3,4, and 7) Highest Number If a hand contains none of the above combinations, it is valued by it's highest number. Ties are broken by the second highest number, and so on.
Try Again?: No, unless the character wants to put up another stake.
Special: A character can't take 10 or take 16 or 18 when making a Gamble check.
Time: A Gamble check can take between 5 to 30 minutes.
Knowledge(Intelligence) Trained only: This skill allows a character to be knowledgeable in a particular area of lore.
A character makes a Knowledge check to see if the character knows something. When trying to determine what Knowledge skill a particular question or field of expertise falls under, use a broad interpretation of the existing categories. When answering a question, the DC for answering within the character's field of study varies by the difficulty of the question asked.
Question DC Very Easy Questions: 5 Easy Questions: 10 Basic Questions: 15 Difficult Questions: 20 Hard Questions: 25 Very Hard Questions: 30
The thirteen Knowledge categories, and the topics each one encompasses, are as follows.
Arcane Lore: The occult, magic and the supernatural, astrology, numerology, and similar topics.
Art: Fine arts and graphic arts, including art history and artistic techniques. Antiques, modern art, photography, and performance art forms such as music and dance, among others.
Behavioral Sciences: Psychology, sociology, and criminology. Business: Business procedures, investment strategies, and corporate structures. Bureaucratic procedures and how to navigate them. Civics: Law, legislation, litigation, and legal rights and obligations. Political and governmental institutions and processes.
Earth and Life Sciences: Biology, botany, genetics, geology, and paleontology. Medicine and forensics.
History: Events, personalities, and cultures of the past. Archeology and antiquities.
Physical Sciences: Astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and engineering.
Popular Culture: Popular music and personalities, genre films and books, urban legends, comics, science fiction, and gaming, among others.
Streetwise: Street and urban culture, local underworld personalities and events.
Tactics: Techniques and strategies for disposing and maneuvering forces in combat, as well as firearms and weapons knowledge.
Technology: Current developments in cutting-edge devices, as well as the background necessary to identify various technological devices.
Theology and Philosophy: Liberal arts, ethics, philosophical concepts, and the study of religious faith, practice, and experience.
Try Again?: No. The check represents what a character knows, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn't let the character know something they never knew in the first place.
Special: An untrained Knowledge check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, a character only knows common knowledge about a given subject.
A character can take 10 when making a Knowledge check, but can't take 16 or 18.
Certain Knowledge Skills give synergy bonuses to other skills.
Time: A Knowledge check can be a reaction, but otherwise cost 12 Combat Points.
Linguistics(None)Trained Only: This skill allows a character to speak, read, and write a language.
The Linguistics skill doesn’t work like a standard skill.
• A character automatically knows how to read and write their native language; the character does not need ranks to do so. • To read and write, or speak a language cost 1 rank. To do the opposite of what you picked originally, it cost an additional rank in the language the character knows how to read and write, or speak in. • A character never makes Linguistics checks. A character either knows how to read and write a specific language or doesn’t.
• A character can choose any language, modern or ancient. (See below for suggestions.) The GM might determine that a character can’t learn a specific language due to the circumstances of the campaign.

Perception(Wisdom): This skill allows a character to notice fine details and alert them to danger. Perception covers all five senses, including sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
Perception has a number of uses, the most common of which is an opposed check versus an opponent's Stealth check to notice the opponent and avoid being surprised. If you are successful, you notice the opponent and can react accordingly. If you fail, your opponent can take a variety of actions, including sneaking past you and attacking you.
Perception is also used to notice fine details in the environment. The DC to notice such details varies depending upon distance, the environment, and how noticeable the detail is. The following table gives a number of guidelines.
Perception DC Gunfire: -20 Hear the sound of battle: -10 Notice the stench of rotting garbage: -10 Detect the smell of smoke: 0 Hear the details of a conversation: 0 Notice a visible creature: 0 Determine if food is spoiled: 5 Hear the sound of footsteps: 10 Hear a gun being loaded and/or cocked: 10 Hear the details of a whispered conversation: 15 Find the average concealed door: 15 Hear the sound of a key being turned in a lock: 20 Notice a typical secret compartment or a simple trap: 20 Notice a pickpocket: Opposed by Stealth Notice a creature using Stealth: Opposed by Stealth
Perception Modifiers Distance to the source, object, or creature: +1/10 feet Through a closed door: +5 Through a wall: +10/foot of thickness Favorable conditions: -2 Unfavorable conditions: +5 Terrible conditions: +10 Creature making the check is distracted: +5 Creature making the check is asleep: +10 Creature or object is camouflaged: +15
Favorable and unfavorable conditions depend upon the sense being used to make the check. For example, bright light might increase the DC of checks involving sight, while torchlight or moonlight might give a penalty. Background noise might reduce a DC involving hearing, while competing odors might penalize any DC involving scent.
As for unfavorable conditions, but more extreme. For example, candlelight for DCs involving sight, a roaring engine for DCs involving hearing, and an overpowering stench covering the area for DCs involving scent.
Try Again: Yes. You can try to sense something you missed the first time, so long as the stimulus is still present.
Special: Creatures with the scent special quality have a +8 bonus on Perception checks made to detect a scent.
Time: Most Perception checks are reactive, made in response to observable stimulus. Intentionally searching for stimulus cost 6 Combat Points. Perform(Charisma): The character is skilled in a form of entertainment.
This skill encompasses several categories, each of them treated as a separate skill. These categories are identified and defined below.
The number of Perform categories is kept purposely finite. When trying to determine what Perform skill a particular type of performance falls under, use a broad interpretation of the existing categories. Do not arbitrarily make up new categories.
Check: The character is accomplished in some type of artistic expression and knows how to put on a performance. The character can impress audiences with their talent and skill. The quality of the character’s performance depends on their check result.
The eight Perform categories, and the qualities each one encompasses, are as follows.
Act: The character is a gifted actor, capable of performing drama, comedy, or action-oriented roles with some level of skill.
Dance: The character is a gifted dancer, capable of performing rhythmic and patterned bodily movements to music.
Keyboards: The character is a musician gifted with a talent for playing keyboard musical instruments, such as piano, organ, and synthesizer.
Percussion Instruments: The character is a musician gifted with a talent for playing percussion musical instruments, such as drums, cymbals, triangle, xylophone, and tambourine.
Sing: The character is a musician gifted with a talent for producing musical tones with your voice.
Stand-Up: The character is a gifted comedian, capable of performing a stand-up routine before an audience.
Stringed Instruments: The character is a musician gifted with a talent for playing stringed musical instruments, such as banjo, guitar, harp, lute, sitar, and violin.
Wind Instruments: The character is a musician gifted with a talent for playing wind musical instruments, such as flute, bugle, trumpet, tuba, bagpipes, and trombone.
Performance Result 10: Amateur performance. Audience may appreciate your performance, but isn’t impressed. 15: Routine performance. Audience enjoys your performance, but it isn’t exceptional. 20: Great performance. Audience highly impressed. 25: Memorable performance. Audience enthusiastic. 30: Masterful performance. Audience awed. Try Again?: Not for the same performance and audience.
Special: A character can take 10 when making a Perform check, but can’t take 16 or 18.
A character without an appropriate instrument automatically fails any Perform (keyboard), Perform (percussion), Perform (stringed), or Perform (wind) check they attempt. At the GM’s discretion, impromptu instruments may be employed, but the performer must take a -6 penalty on the check because their equipment, although usable, is inappropriate for the skill.
Time: A Perform check usually requires at least several minutes to an hour or more.
Pilot(Dexterity)Trained Only: This skill allows a character to successfully pilot aircraft of various types.
Typical piloting tasks don’t require checks. Checks are required during combat, for special maneuvers, or in other extreme circumstances, or when the pilot wants to attempt something outside the normal parameters of the vehicle. When flying, the character can attempt simple maneuvers and stunts (actions in which the pilot attempts to do something complex very quickly or in a limited space). Each vehicle’s description includes a maneuver modifier that applies to Pilot checks made by the operator of the vehicle. A character can take 10 when making a Pilot check, but can’t take 16 or 18.
Special: A pilot can fly Attack helicopters and Military Prop aircraft but can not use any of the weapons or countermeasures.
There is no penalty for operating a general-purpose fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters.. Other types of aircraft (heavy aircraft, Attack helicopters and attack planes) require the corresponding Aircraft Operation feat, or else the character takes a -4 penalty on Pilot checks.
Time: A Pilot check cost 6 Combat Points.
Try again?: Most pilot checks have consequences for failure that make trying again impossible
Presence(Charisma): The character is skilled at threatening and persuading others, feinting in battle, and changing their appearance.
You can use Presence to try to and mislead an opponent in melee combat so that he can’t dodge your next attack effectively, called feinting. To feint, make a presence check opposed by another presence check by your target. The target may add his base attack bonus to this presence check. If your perception check result exceeds your target’s check result, the next melee attack you make against the target does not allow him to use his Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any). This attack must be made on or before your next turn. Attempting to feint against a creature of animal Intelligence (1 or 2), you take a -4 penalty. Attempting to feint against a non-intelligent creature is impossible. Feinting in combat does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
You can also use Presence to disguise your appearance. Your Presence check result determines how good the disguise is, and it is opposed by others' Perception check results. If you don’t draw any attention to yourself, others do not get to make Perception checks. If you come to the attention of people who are suspicious (such as a guard who is observing people), it can be assumed that such observers are taking 10 on their Perception checks.
You get only one Presence check per use of the skill, even if several people are making Perception checks against it. The Disguise check is made secretly, so that you can’t be sure how good the result is.
The effectiveness of your disguise depends in part on how much you’re attempting to change your appearance, and any behavior associated with it.
Disguise Check Modifier Minor details only: +5 Disguised as different gender: -5 Disguised as different race: -10 Disguised as different age category: -5
If you are impersonating a particular individual, those who know what that person looks like get a bonus on their Perception checks according to the table below. Furthermore, they are automatically considered to be suspicious of you, so opposed checks are always called for.
A character without a disguise kit takes a -6 penalty on presence checks to disguise themselves.
Viewer’s Perception Check Bonus based on familiarity Recognizes on sight: +6 Friends or associates: +8 Close friends: +10 Intimate: +15
Finally, the presence skill can be used to frighten your opponents or to get them to act in a way that benefits you. This skill includes displays of prowess.
You can use Presence to force an opponent to act friendly toward you for 1d6 × 10 minutes with a successful check. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target level + the target’s Wisdom modifier + Miscellaneous Modifiers.
Intimidation Modifiers PC's are Armed: +5 Target is Armed: -5 PC's possess authority of a higher power(Police, FBI, CIA, Crime Family, exc.): +10 Target possess authority of a higher power: -10
If successful, the opponent will:
• Give you information you desire • Take actions that do not endanger it • Offer other limited assistance
After the intimidate expires, the target treats you as unfriendly and may report you to local authorities.
If you fail this check by 5 or more, the target attempts to deceive you or otherwise hinder your activities.
Time: To influence a creature’s attitude takes 1 minute of continuous interaction. Making a request of a creature takes 1 or more rounds of interaction, depending upon the complexity of the request. Disguising ones-self requires 1d4 x10 minutes of preparation. Feinting takes 8 Combat Points. Try again?: You can attempt to feint against someone again if you fail. You may try to redo a failed disguise, but once others know that a disguise was attempted, they’ll be more suspicious. You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed. To to change an opponent’s attitude by intimidating them requires 1 minute of conversation.
Ride(Dexterity): The character is skilled at riding mounts, usually a horse, but possibly something more exotic, like an Elephant or Camel.
Typical riding actions don't require checks. You can saddle, mount, ride, and dismount from a mount without a problem. The following tasks do require checks. If you attempt to ride a creature that is ill suited as a mount, you take a -5 penalty on your Ride checks. In addition, attempting trick riding or asking the animal to perform an unusual technique also requires a check.
Guide with Knees (DC 5): The character can react instantly to guide their mount with their knees so that the character can use both hands in combat or to perform some other action. Make the check at the start of the character’s round. If the character fails, they can only use one hand this round because the character needs to use the other to control their mount.
Stay in Saddle (DC 5): The character can react instantly to try to avoid falling when their mount rears or bolts unexpectedly or when the character takes damage.
Fight while Mounted (DC 20): While in combat, the character can attempt to control a mount that is not trained in combat riding (see the Animal Handling skill). If the character succeeds, they use only 6 Combat Points, and the character can use their remaining Combat Points to do something else. If the character fails, they can do nothing else that round. If the character fails by more than 5, they lose control of the animal.
For animals trained in combat riding, the character does not need to make this check. Instead, the character can use 6 Combat Points to have the animal perform a trick (commonly, to attack). The character can use the rest of their Combat Points normally. Cover (DC 15): The character can react instantly to drop down and hang alongside their mount, using it as one- half cover. The character can’t attack while using their mount as cover. If the character fails, they don't get the cover benefit.
Soft Fall (DC 15): The character reacts instantly when they fall off a mount, such as when it is killed or when it falls, to try to avoid taking damage. If the character fails, they take 1d6 points of falling damage.
Leap (DC 15): The character can get their mount to leap obstacles as part of its movement. Use the character’s Ride modifier or the mount’s Athletics modifier (whichever is lower) when the mount makes its Athletics check (see the Athletics skill). The character makes a Ride check (DC 15) to stay on the mount when it leaps.
Fast Mount or Dismount (DC 20; armor penalty applies): The character can mount or dismount by using 2 Combat Points. If the character fails the check, mounting or dismounting cost 6 Combat Points. (A character can’t attempt a fast mount or dismount unless they can perform the mount or dismount by spending 6 Combat Points this round, should the check fail.)
Special: If the character is riding bareback, they take a -5 penalty on Ride checks. A character can take 10 when making a Ride check, but can’t take 16 or 18.
Time: Ride Cost 6 Combat Points, except when otherwise noted for the special tasks listed above.
Stealth(Dexterity): The character is skilled at avoiding detection, allowing them to slip past foes or strike from an unseen position, and pick pockets, draw hidden weapons, and take a variety of actions without being noticed. This skill covers hiding and moving silently.
Your Stealth check is opposed by the Perception check of anyone who might notice you. You can move at 2 Combat Points per 5 feet and still use Stealth at no penalty. When moving at normal Combat Point cost, you take a -5 penalty. It's impossible to use Stealth while attacking, running, or charging. If people are observing you using any of their senses (but typically sight), you can't use Stealth
A DC 10 Stealth check lets you palm a coin-sized, unattended object. Performing a minor feat of legerdemain, such as making a coin disappear, also has a DC of 10 unless an observer is determined to note where the item went.
When you use this skill under close observation, your skill check is opposed by the observer's Perception check. The observer's success doesn't prevent you from performing the action, just from doing it unnoticed.
You can hide a small object (including a weapon of medium size or less) on your body. Your Stealth check is opposed by the Perception check of anyone observing you or of anyone frisking you. In the latter case, the searcher gains a +4 bonus on the Perception check, since it's generally easier to find such an object than to hide it. Heavy or baggy clothing (such as an overcoat) grants you a +2 bonus on the check.
Drawing a hidden weapon is dependent on how it's holstered or sheathed, but doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.
If you try to take something from a creature, you must make a DC 20 Stealth check. The opponent makes a Perception check to detect the attempt, opposed by the Stealth check result you achieved when you tried to grab the item. An opponent who succeeds on this check notices the attempt, regardless of whether you got the item. You cannot use this skill to take an object from another creature during combat if the creature is aware of your presence.
You can use Presence to allow you to use Stealth. A successful Presence check can give you the momentary diversion you need to attempt a Stealth check while people are aware of you.
Time: Normally, you make a Stealth check to hide or move silently as part of movement, so it doesn't take a separate action, but the Combat Point cost to move is doubled. Using Stealth to hide or move silently immediately after a ranged attack cost 6 Combat Points. Any Stealth check to conceal, or take an object cost 5 Combat Points. However, you may perform this Stealth check for 2 Combat Points by taking a -10 penalty on the check. Speechcraft(Charisma): The character is skilled at detecting falsehoods and true intentions, threaten and persuade others, solve arguments, and gather valuable information from people.
With a successful Speechcraft check, you can convince your opponent that what you are saying is true. Speechcraft checks to lie are modified depending upon the believability of the lie. Lie Modifier: The target wants to believe you: +5 The lie is believable: +0 The lie is unlikely: -5 The lie is far-fetched: -15 The lie is impossible: -25 The target is drunk or impaired: +5 You possess convincing proof: up to +10
You can use the Speechcraft skill to pass a hidden message to another character without others understanding your true meaning. The DC of this check is 15 for simple messages and 20 for complex messages. If you are successful, the target automatically understands you, assuming you are speaking in a language that it understands. If your check fails by 5 or more, you deliver the wrong message. Other creatures that hear the message can decipher the message by succeeding at an opposed Speechcraft check against your Speechcraft result.
You can also use this skill to persuade others to agree with your arguments, to resolve differences, and to gather valuable information or rumors from people. This skill is also used to negotiate conflicts by using the proper etiquette and manners suitable to the problem.
You can change the initial attitudes of non-player characters with a successful check. The DC of this check depends on the creature’s starting attitude toward you, adjusted by its Charisma modifier. Starting Attitude and the Diplomacy DC Hostile: 30 + creature's Cha Modifier Unfriendly: 25 + creature's Cha Modifier Indifferent: 20 + creature's Cha Modifier Friendly: 15 + creature's Cha Modifier Helpfully: 5 + creature's Cha Modifier
Diplomacy Modifiers Give simple advice or directions: -5 Give detailed advice: +0 Give simple aid: +0 Reveal an unimportant secret: +5 Give lengthy or complicated aid: +5 Give dangerous aid: +10 Reveal secret knowledge: +10 or more Give aid that could result in punishment: +15 or more
If you succeed, the character’s attitude toward you is improved by one step. For every 5 by which your check result exceeds the DC, the character’s attitude toward you increases by one additional step. A creature’s attitude cannot be shifted more than two steps up in this way, although the GM can override this rule in some situations. If you fail the check by 4 or less, the character’s attitude toward you is unchanged. If you fail by 5 or more, the character’s attitude toward you is decreased by one step. If a creature’s attitude toward you is at least indifferent, you can make requests of the creature. This is an additional Speechcraft check, using the creature’s current attitude to determine the base DC, with one of the following modifiers. Once a creature’s attitude has shifted to helpful, the creature gives in to most requests without a check, unless the request is against its nature or puts it in serious peril. Some requests automatically fail if the request goes against the creature’s values or its nature, subject to GM discretion.
Finally, the Speechcraft skill can be used to frighten your opponents or to get them to act in a way that benefits you. This skill includes verbal threats.
You can use Speechcraft to force an opponent to act friendly toward you for 1d6 × 10 minutes with a successful check. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target level + the target’s Wisdom modifier + Miscellaneous Modifiers.
Intimidation Modifiers PC's are Armed: +5 Target is Armed: -5 PC's possess authority of a higher power(Police, FBI, CIA, ect.): +10 Target possess authority of a higher power: -10
If successful, the opponent will:
• Give you information you desire • Take actions that do not endanger it • Offer other limited assistance
After the intimidate expires, the target treats you as unfriendly and may report you to local authorities.
If you fail this check by 5 or more, the target attempts to deceive you or otherwise hinder your activities.
A target must be able to hear and understand the character when using this skill.
Time: Attempting to deceive someone takes at least 1 round, but can possibly take longer if the lie is elaborate (as determined by the GM on a case-by-case basis) Delivering a secret message generally takes twice as long as the message would otherwise would take to relay. To influence a creature’s attitude takes 1 minute of continuous interaction. Making a request of a creature takes 1 or more rounds of interaction, depending upon the complexity of the request.
Try again?: If you fail to deceive someone, any further checks made to deceive them are made at a -10 penalty and may be impossible (GM discretion). Secret messages can be relayed again if the first attempt fails. You cannot use Speechcraft to influence a given creature’s attitude more than once in a 24 hour period. If a request is refused, the result does not change with additional checks, although other requests might be made. You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed. To to change an opponent’s attitude by intimidating them requires 1 minute of conversation. Technology Use(Intelligence): Your character is skilled at using computers, and technology to bypass security systems, destroy and create programs,
Most normal computer operations don’t require a Technology Use check. However, searching an unfamiliar network for a particular file, writing computer programs, altering existing programs to perform differently (better or worse), and breaking through computer security are all relatively difficult and require skill checks. A Character without a computer(Either a Laptop, or a Desktop) cannot use Technology use. Find File: This skill can be used for finding files or data on an unfamiliar system. The DC for the check and the time required are determined by the size of the site on which the character is searching. Finding public information on the Internet does not fall under this category; usually, such a task requires a Research check. This application of the Technology Use skill only pertains to finding files on private systems with which the character is not familiar.
Defeat Computer Security: This application of Technology Use can’t be used untrained. The DC is determined by the quality of the security program installed to defend the system. If the check is failed by 5 or more, the security system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized entry. An alerted administrator may attempt to identify the character or cut off the character’s access to the system.
Sometimes, when accessing a difficult site, the character has to defeat security at more than one stage of the operation. If the character beats the DC by 10 or more when attempting to defeat computer security, the character automatically succeeds at all subsequent security checks at that site until the end of the character’s session (see Computer Hacking below).
Computer Hacking: Breaking into a secure computer or network is often called hacking. When a character hacks, they attempt to invade a site. A site is a virtual location containing files, data, or applications. A site can be as small as a single computer, or as large as a corporate network connecting computers and data archives all over the world—the important thing is that access to the site connects the user to everything within it. Some sites can be accessed via the Internet; others are not connected to any outside network and can only be tapped into by a user who physically accesses a computer connected to the site.
Every site is overseen by a system administrator—the person in charge of the site, and who maintains its security. Often, the system administrator is the only person with access to all of a site’s functions and data. A site can have more than one system administrator; large sites have a system administrator on duty at all times. A character is the system administrator of their personal computer.
When a character hacks into a site, the visit is called a session. Once a character stops accessing the site, the session is over. The character can go back to the site in the future; when they do, it’s a new session.
Several steps are required to hack into a site: Covering Tracks: This step is optional. By making a Technology Use check (DC 20), a character can alter their identifying information. This imposes a -5 penalty on any attempt made to identify the character if their activity is detected. Access the Site: There are two ways to do this: physically or over the Internet. Physical Access: A character gains physical access to the computer, or a computer connected to the site. If the site being hacked is not connected to the Internet, this is probably the only way a character can access it. A variety of skill checks may be required, depending on the method used to gain access.
Internet Access: Reaching a site over the net requires two Technology Use checks. The first check (DC 10) is needed to find the site on the net. The second is a check to defeat computer security (see the Technology Use skill description). Once a character has succeeded in both checks, the character has accessed the site.
Locate What You’re Looking For: To find the data (or application, or remote device) the character wants, make a Technology Use check. See Find File under the skill description. Defeat File Security: Many networks have additional file security. If that’s the case, the character needs to make another check to defeat computer security. Do Your Stuff: Finally, the character can actually do what they came to do. If the character just wants to look at records, no additional check is needed. (A character can also download data, although that often takes several rounds—or even several minutes, for especially large amounts of information—to complete.) Altering or deleting records sometimes requires yet another check to defeat computer security. Other operations can be carried out according to the Technology Use skill description.
Defend Security: If the character is the system administrator for a site (which may be as simple as being the owner of a laptop), they can defend the site against intruders. If the site alerts the character to an intruder, the character can attempt to cut off the intruder’s access (end the intruder’s session), or even to identify the intruder.
To cut off access, make an opposed Technology Use check against the intruder. If the character succeeds, the intruder’s session is ended. The intruder might be able to defeat the character’s security and access their site again, but the intruder will have to start the hacking process all over. Attempting to cut off access takes all combat points.
One surefire way to prevent further access is to simply shut the site down. With a single computer, that’s often no big deal—but on a large site with many computers (or computers controlling functions that can’t be interrupted), it may be time-consuming or even impossible.
To identify the intruder, make an opposed Technology Use check against the intruder. If the character succeeds, the character learns the site from which the intruder is operating (if it’s a single computer, the character learns the name of the computer’s owner). Identifying the intruder requires 1 minute and is a separate check from cutting off access. This check can only be made if the intruder is accessing the character’s site for the entire length of the check—if the intruder’s session ends before the character finishes the check, the character automatically fails.
Degrade Programming: A character can destroy or alter applications on a computer to make use of that computer harder or impossible. The DC for the attempt depends on what the character tries to do. Crashing a computer simply shuts it down. Its user can restart it without making a skill check (however, restarting takes 1 minute). Destroying programming makes the computer unusable until the programming is repaired. Damaging programming imposes a -4 penalty on all Technology Use checks made with the computer (sometimes this is preferable to destroying the programming, since the user might not know that anything is wrong, and won’t simply decide to use a different computer). A character can degrade the programming of multiple computers at a single site; doing so adds +2 to the DC for each additional computer.
Fixing the degraded programming requires 1 hour and a Technology Use check against a DC equal to the DC for degrading it + 5.
Write Program: A character can create a program to help with a specific task. Doing so grants the character a +2 circumstance bonus to the task. A specific task, in this case, is one type of operation with one target. The DC to write a program is 20; the time required is 1 hour. Operate Remote Device: Many devices are computer-operated via remote links. If the character has access to the computer that controls such systems, the character can either shut them off or change their operating parameters. The DC depends on the nature of the operation. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized use of the equipment. An alerted administrator may attempt to identify the character or cut off their access to the system. Chart: Technology Use Size of Site for file DC Time Personal computer 10 1 round Small office network 12 2 rounds Large office network 15 1 minute Massive corporate network 20 10 minutes Level of Security DC Minimum 15 Average 20 Exceptional 30 Maximum 35 Program Degradation Scope DC Time Crash computer 10 1 minute Destroy programming 15 10 minutes Damage programming 20 10 minutes Remote Operation Device DC Time Shut down passive remote 15 1 round per remote (including cameras and door locks) Shut down active remote 20 1 round per remote (including motion detectors and alarms) Reset parameters 25 1 minute per remote Change passcodes 8 1 minute Minimum security -5 N/a Exceptional security +5 N/a Maximum security +10 N/a
Special: A character can take 10 when using the Technology Use skill. A character can take 16 or 18 in some cases, but not in those that involve a penalty for failure. (A character cannot take 16 or 18 to defeat computer security or defend security.)
Time: Technology Use requires 12 Combat Points. The GM may determine that some tasks require several rounds, a few minutes, or longer, as described above. Treat Injury(Wisdom): The character knows how to use first aid kits to restore health, treat poison, and stabilize characters.
Long Term Care (DC20): With A First Aid Kit, this check allows a Patient to restore HP/AP at an advanced rate, 3HP/3AP extra per full day of rest. A new check is required each day. You can tend to as many patients as you have ranks. The patient must spend all their time resting, and the User must dedicate 30 Minutes per day per patient.
Restore Hit Points(DC20): With A First Aid Kit, can restore 1d4 HP on a character. This may be done only once per day, per character. This cost 12 Combat Points.
Stop Bleeding(DC10): With a First Aid Kit or applicable supplies, you can stop a character from bleeding for 5d4 minutes. This cost 8 Combat Points.
Revive a Dazed, Stunned or Unconscious Character(DC 17): With A First Aid Kit, You can remove the condition from a character. You can't Revive a character that is at -1 or lower hit points without stabilizing them first. This cost 8 Combat Points.
Stabilize Dying Character(DC15): With A First Aid Kit, you tend to a dying character. The character stops losing hit points. This cost 8 Combat Points. Unlike the other actions, this action cannot be performed without a First Aid Kit.
Surgery(DC25): With a Surgery Kit, You conduct field surgery, which allows you to realign broken bones, remove bullets or shrapnel, and stitch grievous wounds. Surgery restores 4d6 HP, and removes all bleed damage. Undergoing Surgery causes fatigue for 24 Hours, minus 2 hours for every point above the DC the Surgeon Achieves. Surgery Requires 1d4 Hours plus each point the character's HP has fallen below 0.
Treat Poison(DC15): With A First Aid Kit, you make a check when a poisoned character makes a saving throw against a poison's secondary effect. If you succeed, you add your Treat Injury ranks as a bonus to their saving throw check. This cost 8 Combat Points.
Try Again?: Yes, for restoring hit points, reviving dazed, stunned, or unconscious characters, stabilizing dying characters, stop bleeding and surgery. No, for all other uses of the skill.
Time: Treat Injury checks take different amounts of time based on the task at hand, as described above.

Each time the character takes the feat, the character selects a different weapon. EQUIPMENT Restricted Objects
Some objects require licenses to own or operate, or are restricted in use to qualifying organizations or individuals. In such cases, a character must purchase a license or pay a fee to legally own the object. A license or fee is a separate item, purchased in addition to (and usually before) the object to which it applies. The four levels of restriction are as follows. When dealing with licenses and weapons, the license type includes any papers or cards necessary to carry the weapon, open or concealed, without being hassled by law enforcement.
None: No license or restriction is required to own or operate the object.
Licensed: The owner must obtain a license to own or operate the object legally. Generally, the license is not expensive, and obtaining it has few if any additional legal requirements.
Restricted: Only specially qualified individuals or organizations are technically allowed to own the object. However, the real obstacles to ownership are time and money; anyone with sufficient patience and cash can eventually acquire the necessary license.
Military and Police: The object is sold primarily to legitimate police and military organizations. A military and police rating is essentially the same as restricted (see above), except that manufacturers and dealers are generally under tight government scrutiny and are therefore especially wary of selling to private individuals.
Illegal: The object is illegal in all but specific, highly regulated circumstances.
Table: Restricted Objects Knowledge Registration (Business) Black Market Price Time Required Wealth Point Rating DC Increase for license Issue Cost Licensed 15 25% 5 days 5 Restricted 20 50% 1 week 10 Military and 25 100% 2 week 20 Police Illegal 30 200% 3 weeks 35
Purchasing a License To purchase a license or pay necessary fees, a character pays the fee on the chart, and waits the appropriate time. To speed the process, the hero can make a Knowledge (business) check against a DC equal to the license DC. Success results in the license being issued in 1d4 days. (During the process of character creation, a character just needs to purchase the license or pay the fee; the time required takes place before game play begins.) As a general rule, a character must obtain the appropriate license before buying a restricted object. When a character has purchased the appropriate license once, it is applicable for all items with the same rating, so a character does not have to purchase a license for each item of the same level. A higher license grants the ability to purchase any object at the same restriction level, or lower. Legitimate dealers will not sell restricted objects to a character who does not have the necessary license. However, a character may be able to turn to the black market (see below) to obtain restricted objects without a license. The Black Market Sometimes a character wants to obtain an object without going through the hassle of getting a license first. Almost anything is available on the black market. Knowledge (streetwise) checks can be used to locate a black market merchant. The DC is based on the location in question: 15 to find a black market merchant in a big city, or 20, 25, or higher in small towns and rural areas. Objects purchased on the black market are more expensive than those purchased legally. Add the black market purchase percentage increase from Table: Restricted Objects to the object’s Cost. Obtaining an object on the black market takes a number of days according to the Time Required column on Table: Restricted Objects. The process can be hurried, but each day cut out of the process (to a minimum of one day) increases the purchase cost by an additional 25%.
New Vs Used The prices listed for the various objects are the price you'd pay for something NIB-New in box, but it's not often that a character would purchase something used, such as a Car, or a firearm, or try to get rid of some excess gear. When purchasing or selling something used, use these rate: New in box 100% of normal price. Object has never seen use, and even still comes with the receipt for purchase. Like New-90% of normal price. no major problems, gear works as advertised, includes most, if not all of the listed equipment Good-75% of normal price. Object shows some wear, but still works as advertised, does not include any of the extra listed gear outside of what's attached to it. Fair-50% of normal price. Object shows wear and has light damage, firearms would have to be cleaned in this state, and cars may have to have minor repairs(15% HP lost or less) Usable-25% of normal price. Objects need repair to use functionally, firearms considered damaged and need to be repaired before use, cars would need major repairs(16-25%HP lost) Poor-10% of normal price. Objects are basically junk at this point. Firearms are no more than spare parts(Or a spare magazine),a vehicle would have to be rebuilt from this stage(50% or more HP lost).
Mastercraft Objects Weapons, armor, and some other types of equipment can be constructed as mastercraft objects. The exceptional quality of these objects provides the user a bonus on attack rolls, damage, Defense, or some other characteristic that improves when the object is used. A mastercraft object that provides a +1 bonus to can usually be purchased on the open market as a custom version of a common object. The increased cost of this item is 75% of the item's cost.
A rare few objects are of mastercraft quality even without customization—the off-the-shelf version of the object is of such high quality that it is always provides a bonus of +1. In these cases, the cost is not increased (such objects are already priced higher than similar objects of lower quality). Mastercraft objects with a bonus of +2 or +3 are considered grandmastercraft and are not common and are generally not for sale. If a grandmastercraft +2 object could be found for purchase, its cost would add 125% to the normal cost. The cost of a grandmastercraft +3 object would add 200% to the normal cost.
Concealed Weapons and Objects It’s assumed that, when attempting to conceal a weapon or other object, a character is wearing appropriate clothing. Drawing a concealed weapon is more difficult than drawing a regularly holstered weapon. Keeping the weapon in an easier-to-draw position makes concealing it more difficult. Mexican Carry Mexican carry is holstering a weapon in the waistband without a proper holster. When carrying a weapon in this manner, it isn't properly secured, and will fall out under any strenuous movement. When Mexican carrying, a character must make a Reflex Saving throw (DC 15) to keep their weapon in their belt, when doing any actions that cause them to roll an Attack Roll, or a dexterity or strength based skill. If they fail this check, the weapon falls to the ground.
Stealth Checks To conceal a weapon or other object, make a Stealth check. A character concealing an object before they head out into public can usually take 10 unless they are rushed, trying to conceal it when others might see, or under other unusual constraints. Stealth can be used untrained in this instance, but the character must take 10.
Size and Concealment The object’s size affects the check result, as shown on Table: Concealing Weapons and Objects. The type of holster used or clothing worn, and any attempt to make a weapon easier to draw, can also affect the check.
Table: Concealing Weapons and Objects Condition Stealth Modifier Size of weapon or object Fine +12 Diminutive +8 Tiny +4 Small +0 Medium-size -4 Large -8 Huge or larger can’t conceal Clothing is tight or small -4 Clothing is especially loose or bulky +2 Clothing is specifically modified for concealing +2 object Firearm that is carried in a concealed carry or +2 holdout holster Firearm that is carried in a shoulder holster +1
Spotting Concealed Objects Noticing a concealed weapon or other object requires a Perception check. The DC varies: If the target made a roll when concealing an object, the DC of the Perception check to notice the object is the same as the target’s check result (an opposed check, in other words). If the target took 10 on their Stealth check, use this formula:
Perception DC = Target’s stealth skill modifier (including modifiers from Table: Concealing Weapons and Objects) + 10
An observer attempting to spot a concealed object receives a -1 penalty for every 10 feet between him or herself and the target, and a -5 penalty if distracted. Patting someone down for a hidden weapon requires a similar check. However, the skill employed in Perception, and the searcher receives a +4 circumstance bonus for the hands-on act of frisking the target. Some devices may also offer bonuses under certain circumstances (a metal detector offers a bonus to Perception checks to find metal objects, for example). Spotting Concealable Armor Concealable armor can be worn under clothing if the wearer wants it to go unnoticed. Don’t use the modifiers from Table: Concealing Weapons and Objects when wearing concealable armor. Instead, anyone attempting to notice the armor must make a Perception check (DC 30).
Living in Luxury The price given are for average-quality items. It’s possible to purchase similar items with luxury features, generally by increasing the cost by 20%. Although such items are more expensive, they offer no additional features or game benefits.

A medium encumbered character performs as if their Dexterity modifier were no higher than +3. In addition, the character takes a -3 encumbrance penalty on attack rolls and checks involving the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, and Stealth. This encumbrance penalty stacks with any armor penalty that may also apply. A medium encumbered character spends 2 Combat Points per 5 feet to move. If the weight of a character’s gear falls in their heavy load range, the character is considered heavily encumbered. A heavily encumbered character performs as if their Dexterity modifier were no higher than +1. In addition, the character takes a -6 encumbrance penalty on attack rolls and checks involving the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, and Stealth. This encumbrance penalty stacks with any armor penalty that may also apply. A heavily encumbered character spends 3 Combat Points per 5 feet to move. The figure at the upper end of a character’s heavy load range is their maximum load. No character can move or perform any other actions while carrying more than their maximum load. Lifting and Dragging: A character can lift up to their maximum load over their head. A character can lift up to double their maximum load off the ground, but they can only stagger around with it. While overloaded in this way, the character loses any Dexterity bonus to Defense and can only move 5 feet per round (for 12 Combat Points). A character can generally push or drag along the ground up to five times their maximum load. Favorable conditions (smooth ground, dragging a slick object) can double these numbers, and bad circumstances (broken ground, pushing an object that snags) can reduce them to one-half or less. Bigger and Smaller Creatures: The figures on Table: Carrying Capacity are for Medium-size bipedal creatures. Larger bipedal creatures can carry more weight depending on size category: Large x2, Huge x4, Gargantuan x8, and Colossal x16. Smaller creatures can carry less weight depending on size category: Small x3/4, Tiny x1/2, Diminutive x1/4, and Fine x1/8. Quadrupeds, such as horses, can carry heavier loads than characters can. Use these multipliers instead of the ones given above: Fine x1/4, Diminutive x1/2, Tiny x3/4, Small x1, Medium-size x1.5, Large x3, Huge x6, Gargantuan x12, and Colossal x24.
Tremendous Strength: For Strength scores not listed, find the Strength score between 20 and 29 that has the same ones digit as the creature’s Strength score. Multiply the figures by 4 if the creature’s Strength is in the 30s, 16 if it’s in the 40s, 64 if it’s in the 50s, and so on.
General Equipment
Bags and Boxes With the wide variety of equipment available, it's quite often critical to have something to store the equipment or carry it around in.
Aluminum Travel Case: A travel case is a reinforced metal box with foam inserts. Wing-style clamps keep it from opening accidentally.
Backpack: This is a good-sized backpack, made of tough water-resistant material. It has one or two central sections, as well as several exterior pockets and straps for attaching tents, bedrolls, or other gear. It can carry up to 60 pounds of gear. A backpack gives a character a +1 equipment bonus to Strength for the purpose of determining carrying capacity. Briefcase: A briefcase can carry up to 80 oz. worth of gear. A briefcase can be locked, but its cheap lock is not very secure (Disable Device DC 15; break DC 10).
Contractor’s Field Bag: A combination tool bag and notebook computer case, this has pockets for tools, pens, notepads, and cell phones. It even has a clear plastic flap for maps or plans. Made of durable fabric, it holds 160 oz. worth of equipment and comes with a shoulder strap.
Day Pack: This is a small backpack, the sort often used by students to carry their books around, or by outdoor enthusiasts on short hikes. It holds 240 oz. of gear and fits comfortably over one shoulder in a messenger type style or on both shoulders in a traditional pack type.
Handbag: Handbags provide another way to carry 32 oz. of equipment. The wealth point cost shown is for a basic bag; high-fashion purses can be exponentially expensive.
Range Pack: This lightweight black bag has a spacious inner compartment capable of holding roughly 230 oz. of gear and can hold an additional 64 oz. in six zippered external compartments. The larger version holds 400 oz. of equipment in the internal compartment and another 96 oz. in the zippered external pouches. A range pack easily holds several pistols and a submachine gun, and the larger version can hold disassembled rifles. Duffel Bag: A simple bag with either zipper or draw sting closures and a strap, Duffel bags come in all different sizes and shapes, but usually hold about 160 oz. of equipment comfortably.
Waist Pack: This small zippered pouch is fitted with an integral belt and is designed to be fastened around the waist. It holds 48 oz. of equipment comfortably.

Clothing The items described here represent special clothing types, or unusual outfits that a character might need to acquire. For the most part, clothing choice is based on character concept. It’s assumed that a character owns a reasonable wardrobe of the sorts of clothes that fit their lifestyle. Sometimes, however, a character might need something out of the ordinary. When that’s the case, they will have to purchase it like any other piece of gear. Clothes have three effects on game mechanics: one on Presence checks, one on Stealth checks, and one on Environmental factors. First, clothing is part of a disguise.
See the Presence skill description for more on how appropriate dress affects Presence checks. Clothes also help to hide firearms, body armor, and small objects. Tightly tailored clothing imposes a penalty on an attempt to conceal an object; clothing purposely tailored to conceal objects provides a bonus. Clothing also includes worn accessories, such as holsters, sheathes, and armor. An outfit of clothing represents everything a character needs to dress a part: pants or skirt, shirt, undergarments, appropriate shoes or boots, socks or stockings, and any necessary belt or suspenders. The clothes a character wears does not count against the weight limit for encumbrance. Each outfit has a level that is appropriate for a given temperature range (extremely hot, hot, mild, or cold), and the wearer can remove layers or roll up cuffs to make it acceptable, if not completely comfortable, for the next higher range. The Price listed is for the base set of clothes, high-fashion clothing can be exponentially expensive.
Business: A business outfit generally includes a jacket or blazer, but can incorporate everything up to, and including three piece suits. Business clothing tend to look sharp and well groomed without being overly formal.
Casual: Casual clothes range from cut-off jeans and a T-shirt to neatly pressed khakis and a hand-knit sweater. Formal: From a little black dress to a fully appointed tuxedo, formal clothes are appropriate for “black tie” occasions. Special designer creations can have wealth point cost much higher than shown on the table.
Fatigues: Called “battle dress uniforms” (or BDUs) in the United States Armed Forces, these are worn by hardened veterans and wannabes alike. They’re rugged, comfortable, and provide lots of pockets. They are also printed in camouflage patterns: woodland, desert, winter, urban (gray patterned), and black are available. When worn in an appropriate setting, fatigues grant a +2 bonus on Stealth checks.
Uniform: From the cable guy to a senior Air Force officer, people on the job tend to wear uniforms — making such clothing an essential part of some disguises, since a uniform inclines people to trust the wearer. Wearing a Uniform grants a +2 circumstance bonus on all applicable Presence Checks. The price of the uniform is based on what particular uniform a character is trying to acquire, and is set by the GM.
Ghillie Suit: The ultimate in camouflage, a ghillie suit is a loose mesh over garment covered in strips of burlap in camouflage of the purchaser's choice. Other camouflaging elements can easily be added. A figure under a ghillie suit is nearly impossible to discern. A character wearing a ghillie suit with appropriate coloration gains a +10 bonus on Stealth checks. (The suit’s coloration can be changed for 6 Combat Points. However, the bulky suit imposes a penalty of -4 on all Dexterity checks, Dexterity-based skill checks (except Stealth), and melee attack rolls.
Outerwear In addition to keeping a character warm and dry, coats and jackets provide additional concealment for things a character is carrying (they often qualify as loose or bulky clothing; see Concealed Weapons and Objects).
Coat: An outer garment worn on the upper body. Its length and style vary according to fashion and use. The Price listed is for a simple coat, high-fashion clothing can be exponentially expensive.
Fatigue Jacket: A lightweight outer garment fashioned after the fatigue uniforms worn by military personnel when performing their standard duties.
Overcoat: A warm coat worn over a suit jacket or indoor clothing. The Price listed is for a simple overcoat, high- fashion clothing can be exponentially expensive. Parka: This winter coat grants the wearer a +2 equipment bonus on Fortitude saves made to resist the effects of cold weather.
Work Gloves: These gloves are thick leather working gloves, protecting from heat, cold, and generally corrosive or sharp objects, allowing someone to work comfortably with these objects and elements.
Utility belts: Tool belts and police gun belts fall into this category. They can comfortably hold 144 oz. of equipment, and keep them on hand at all times.
Flotation Vest: A character wearing a flotation vest need not make Athletics checks to stay afloat, and their encumbrance load is considered 50 lbs. lighter for the purpose of determining weight penalties with Athletics checks to swimming. A flotation vest can be worn over normal clothing and light to medium armor.
Gas Mask: The gas mask provides full protection against the effects of tear gas, pepper balls, and chemical irritants and grants the wearer a +4 bonus to Fortitude saves made to resist inhaled contamiminants. Eye-wear Eye-wear encompass everything from basic sunglasses, to the most covering night vision goggles. A character can have only one pair of eye-wear on at one time.
Flash Goggles: these eye coverings provide total protection against blinding light. They negate all will saving throws against blindness, but the wearer suffers a -4 ranged attack roll while wearing them.
Sunglasses: Sunglasses are tinted glasses that block UV rays and bright light. They grant a +1 to all will saving throws against blindness.
Night Vision Goggles: Night Vision Goggles are goggles that use passive light gathering to improve vision in near-dark and dark conditions. They grant the user the ability to see in darkness, but because of the restricted view, grant a -5 penalty to all perception checks using sight made by someone wearing them. When In complete darkness, night vision goggles must either be purchased with an infrared illuminator(at a +8 to the Wealth Point Cost), or use another source of infrared light. Mounts can be purchased to mount the Night Vision goggles to a Combat Helmet, at +1 to the Wealth Point cost.

A caltrop deals 1 point of damage on a successful hit, and the injury reduces foot speed to 2 Combat Points per 5 (a successful Treat Injury check, DC 15, or one day's rest removes this penalty). Improvised versions of this weapon include jacks and d4 gaming dice(These improvised weapons do not work on vehicles, however). A moving creature must immediately stop if it steps on a caltrop. See the avoid hazard stunt for the effect of caltrops on vehicles.
Binoculars Binoculars are useful for watching opponents, wild game, and sporting events from a long distance.
Standard: Standard binoculars reduce the range penalty for perception checks to -1 for every 50 feet (instead of -1 for every 10 feet). Using binoculars for Perception checks takes five times as long as making the check unaided.
Rangefinding: In addition to the benefit of standard binoculars, rangefinding binoculars include a digital readout that indicates the exact distance to the object on which they are focused.
Night Vision Binoculars: Night Vision binoculars function the same as standard binoculars in normal light. In darkness, however, users looking through them see as if they were using night vision goggles.

Multipurpose Tool This device contains several different screwdrivers, a knife blade or two, can opener, bottle opener, file, short ruler, scissors, tweezers, and wire cutters. The whole thing unfolds into a handy pair of pliers. A multipurpose tool can lessen the penalty for making Craft (mechanical), Craft (electronic),Craft (structural), Demolitions, or Disable Device checks without appropriate tools to -4 instead of the normal -6. The tool is useful for certain tasks, as determined by the GM, but may not be useful in all situations.
Canteen A canteen is a drinking water bottle designed to be used by hikers, campers, soldiers and workers in the field. A canteen holds 2 quarts of liquid.
Fire Extinguisher This portable apparatus uses a chemical spray to extinguish small fires. The typical fire extinguisher ejects enough extinguishing chemicals to put out a fire in a 10-foot-by-10-foot area. It contains enough material for two such uses. It does 1d4 Cold damage.
Handcuffs Handcuffs are restraints designed to lock two limbs—normally the wrists—of a prisoner together. They fit any Medium-size or Small human or other creature that has an appropriate body structure. Steel: These heavy-duty cuffs have hardness 10, 10 hit points, a break DC of 30, and require a Disable Device check (DC 25) or Acrobatics check (DC 35) to remove without the key.
Zip-Tie: These are single-use disposable handcuffs, much like heavy-duty cable ties. They have hardness 0, 4 hit points, and a break DC of 25. They can only be removed by cutting them off (Disable Device and Acrobatics checks automatically fail).
Map While a compass or GPS receiver can help characters find their way through the wilderness, a map can tell a character where they are going and what to expect when they get there.
Road Atlas: Road atlases are available for the entire United States, showing all major roads in each state. They can also be purchased for most major metropolitan areas, detailing every street in the entire region.
Tactical Map: A tactical map covers a small area—usually a few miles on a side—in exacting detail. Generally, every building is represented, along with all roads, trails, and areas of vegetation. Tactical maps are not available for all areas, and, though inexpensive, they generally have to be ordered from federal mapping agencies (taking a week or longer to obtain).
Lighter This is either an oil based or butane cigarette lighter, that can be used to create fire at a moment's instance.

Sleeping Bag This lightweight sleeping bag rolls up compactly. It can keep a character warm even in severe weather, providing a +1 equipment bonus on Fortitude saves against the effects of cold weather.
Parachute A parachute is a device used to slow down an object in free fall through an atmosphere. They come in various types, based on use, but all stop fall damage from heights greater than 100 feet.
Military Parachute: A typical circular canopy used for static line jumps. A standard military chute has limited maneuverability, being designed for simplicity and reliability. These parachutes fall straight down.
Reserve Parachute: A small emergency parachute designed to be worn on the chest and used if the jumper’s main chute fails. A reserve chute is a lifesaving, rather than aerobatic device, and do not possess the maneuverability that Sports Parachutes have. These parachutes fall straight down. Sports Parachute: A rectangular aerobatic parachute. Consumer models tend to be brightly-colored for aesthetic appeal and emergency visibility, but a character can purchase a darker parachute at request. Sports Parachutes allow a character to glide at 20 feet per round forward as they fall, as well as make a turn after moving 10 feet.

Pharmaceutical Drugs and Poisons Poisons are chemical substances that can cause disturbances to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. Pharmaceutical drug, also referred to as medicine, can be loosely defined as any chemical substance intended for use in the medical diagnosis, cure, treatment, or prevention of disease. When using medicine, only the highest modifier applies.
Antibacterials and Antivirals An antibacterial is a compound or substance that kills or slows down the growth of bacteria. Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections. Both are used to combat against diseases, and grant a bonus to Fortitude Saves toward Disease.

Analgesics/Painkillers These medicines allow a character to ignore pain, and allow them to continue fighting, but only for a limited time. When the effects wear off, the healing affect of the painkillers go with it. Painkillers can only be given to a character with at least 1 Extended HP. A player who has 0 or less Core HP has suffered serious injuries and must receive medical attention and can not use painkillers. The Price listed is for one dose, and each dose last for 1d3 hours. Hemostat These Medicines promote the clotting of blood. They reduce the bleed damage based on the level of the hemostat.(For example, a character with a bleed damage of 4d3 would need a Hemostat that reduced 4 bleed damage to completely stop bleeding.) The Price listed is for 2 doses.
Antiseptics Antiseptics are substances that are applied to destroy microorganisms that are living on objects. These Medicines give a bonus to all Treat Injury checks when used. The amount listed is for 4 doses

Spray-on Bandage Spray-on bandage is antiseptic and bandage all in a convenient little bottle, used for small nicks and scratches. It heals 1 damage per use, and can only be used to restore Extended HP that was lost by by slashing or piercing damage. The price listed is for a 10 dose bottle.
Poisons Poisons are chemical substances that can cause disturbances to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. While nearly any substance ingested, injected, or inhaled into the body technically counts as a poison, the poisons listed here are specifically listed for their effects. The price listed is for 5 doses in a synthesized solid or liquid poison stored in a bottle, or a gas stored in a pressurized cylinder.

The weapons covered here are grouped into categories based on their general utility: Melee Weapons and Ranged Weapons
Melee Weapons
Melee weapon damages are classified according to type: bludgeoning (weapons with a blunt striking surface), energy (of a specific type), piercing (weapons with a sharp point), and slashing (weapons with an edged blade). Certain types of armor only protect against particular forms of damage.
Weapons are also classified by size. Medium and smaller sized weapons can be used with one hand. Large or larger sized weapons require two hands to use.
A small or smaller weapon is considered a light weapon and is easier to use in a character's off-hand.
Simple Melee Weapons Generally inexpensive and light in weight, simple weapons get the job done nevertheless. Any humanoid character can use Simple Melee weapons without penalty.
Brass Knuckles: These pieces of molded metal fit over the outside of a character’s fingers and allow him or her to deal lethal damage with an unarmed strike instead of nonlethal damage. A strike with brass knuckles is otherwise considered an unarmed attack. An improvised version of this weapon is a set of heavy finger rings.
When used by a character with the Brawl, Improved Brawl, or Street Fighting feat, brass knuckles increase the base damage dealt by an unarmed strike by +1 and turn the damage into lethal damage.
Push Blade/Punch Dagger: This blade extends in line with the wielder’s arm when held in a clenched fist. An improvised version is a corkscrew.
Survival/Folding/Escape Knife: A survival knife is a typical fighting knife and also represents a variety of field weapons like daggers and bayonets. Improvised versions of this weapon include broken bottles and large kitchen knives. A Folding knife is 3 to 6 in. long and includes weapons such as balisongs and spring loaded stilettos. A Folding possesses the ability to fold or retract, which decreases the size rating by one increment. Extending or retracting cost 1 Combat Point. Improvised versions include ice picks, letter openers, straight razors and screwdrivers. The improvised version of this weapon does not possess the ability to fold or retract. An escape knife is a blade easily hidden and commonly stashed in a place where the owner might be able to grab it when tied up. Improvised versions of this weapon include prison shivs and pieces of broken glass.
Light/Heavy Club: A light club is less than 12 inches long, lighter than 3 lbs., and easily used with 1 hand. There are countless examples, including such deliberately crafted items as escrima sticks, metal batons, and police clubs. Improvised versions of this weapon include chair legs, frying pans, pool cues, framing hammers, tire irons, and small tree branches. A heavy club is between 12 and 24 inches long, weighs between 3 and 6 lbs., and requires the use of 2 hands. The classic modern example is the wooden baseball bat. Improvised versions of this weapon include chairs, table legs, crowbars, and heavy tree branches. Sap: This weapon consists of a soft leather sack loaded with lead shot. It is typically brought down on the back of an opponent’s head, knocking him out cold. Improvised versions of this weapon include sweat socks stuffed with rolls of quarters or marbles. Note: This weapon does Non-lethal damage only.
Tool/Sledge Hammer A sledgehammer is a common rock-breaking implement ,stunningly effective, though slow and cumbersome to use. Improvised versions of this weapon include CD racks, iron crowbars, and table lamps with heavy bases. A tool hammer is household hammer can be found in any hardware store in the world. Improvised versions of this weapon include short lengths of pipe, stone statuettes, and tire irons.
Stun Gun: Although the name suggests a ranged weapon, a stun gun requires physical contact to affect its target. (The Taser is a ranged weapon with a similar effect.) On a successful hit, the stun gun deals 1d3 points of electricity damage,(do not add the character’s power bonus) and the target must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 15) or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds. Improvised versions of this weapon include cattle prods and electric cords with stripped insulation.
Riot/Entry Shield: A riot shield is a shield composed of high impact plastic, often used in riot situations by law enforcement. A riot shield provides one-quarter cover in one direction. Improvised versions of riot shields include end tables, trash-can lids and low quality, homemade versions. An Entry shield is a shield used in high risk situations to protect against gunfire. An Entry shield provides three-quarters cover in one direction. A shield may be used to bat, bash, or shove opponents. Improvised versions of entry shields include heavy steel plates.
Pistol Whip: A pistol whip is not a melee weapon in the traditional sense, rather using the side of a handgun to strike a target. While Pistol whipping is an improvised weapon, it does not incur the penalties for being one. All Small and larger Handguns can be used to pistol whip. If a character provokes an Attack of Opportunity on a character wielding a handgun that can pistol whip, that character can use the pistol whip to perform their Attack of Opportunity. A pistol whip can not be upgraded with any melee upgrades.
Rifle Butt: A rifle butt is not a melee weapon in the traditional sense, rather using the butt of a longarm to strike a target. While rifle butting is an improvised weapon, it does not incur the penalties for being one, nor will it break if used as a weapon. All weapons with a fixed stock can be used to rifle butt. If a character provokes an Attack of Opportunity on a character wielding a longarm that can rifle butt, that character can use the rifle butt to perform their Attack of Opportunity. A rifle butt can not be upgraded with any melee upgrades.

A broad Axe is a heavy single-bladed Axe is intended for heavy chopping projects. An improvised version is a lumber Axe. A hand Axe is a light single- bladed Axe that is normally used one handed. An improvised version of this is a hatchet or a camp Axe.
Short/Bastard/Broad/Long Sword: A short sword is a short-bladed sword is heavily weighted toward the handle and primarily used to pierce and puncture opponents. A classic example is the wakizashi. A Modern version is machete and an improvised version is a garden spade. A bastard sword is a long, narrow 1-handed sword often features a handle designed for easy 2-handed use. A classic example is the katana. An improvised version of this weapon is a lumber saw. A broad sword features a slightly shorter and heavier blade than a bastard sword. The scimitar is a class example. An improvised version is the blade of a paper cutter. A long sword is narrow-bladed sword is often longer than the wielder is tall. Classic examples include the Scottish claymore and the Japanese no-dachi. An improvised version might be a piece of rebar.
Rapier: The rapier is a lightweight sword with a thin blade. A character can select the Weapon Finesse feat to apply their Marksmanship modifier instead of Focus modifier to attack rolls with a rapier. An improvised version of this weapon might be a car antenna. Saber: The saber is a sword that has a curved, single-edged blade and a rather large hand guard, covering the knuckles of the hand as well as the thumb and forefinger. A character can select the Weapon Finesse feat to apply their Marksmanship modifier instead of Focus modifier to attack rolls with a saber. An improvised version of this weapon would be extremely unlikely.
Cutlass: The cutlass is a short, broad saber , with a straight or slightly curved blade, sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt often featuring a solid cupped or basket shaped guard. A character can select the Weapon Finesse feat to apply their Marksmanship modifier instead of Focus modifier to attack rolls with a Cutlass. An improvised version of this weapon would be extremely unlikely.
Parrying Dagger: A parrying dagger a is category of small hand-held knives, designed to be used as off-hand weapons in conjunction with a single-handed sword, such as a Rapier or Saber. As the name implies they were designed to parry, or defend. An improvised version of this weapon is extremely unlikely.
When used by a character with the Two Weapon Defense Feat, a parrying dagger grants a +2 equipment bonus to defense, and when fighting defensively or using the parry action, the character gets an additional +2 to defense.
Staffs: A long staff ranges from 1 to 2 ft. taller than its wielder. A classic example is the bo stick. Improvised versions of this weapon include flagpoles and long pipes. A quarterstaff is roughly the same height as its wielder. Improvised versions of this weapon include broom handles, handy tree branches, skis, and walking sticks. A short staff is roughly waist- to chest-high on its wielder. A classic example is the jo stick. Improvised versions of this weapon include ski poles and the remains of a long staff cut in two. A character can strike opponents up to 10 feet away with a Long staff, but can’t use it against an adjacent foe. A character can strike opponents up to 5 feet away with a quarterstaff, but can’t use it against an adjacent foe.
Rifle Bayonet: The statistics given describe a bayonet fixed at the end of a longarm with an appropriate mount. With the bayonet fixed, the longarm becomes a double weapon, clublike at one end and spearlike at the other. A character can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, but if the character does so, they incur all the normal attack penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, as if using a one-handed weapon and a Small weapon. When a bayonet is not fixed, it is considered a survival knife, and uses the statistics of one. The clublike end of a rifle bayonet is considered a rifle butt and incurs all the bonuses and penalties of one.
Spears: A long spear ranges from 1 to 2 ft. taller than its wielder. A classic example is the pike or the naginata. Improvised versions of this weapon include flagpoles with points and long pipes with sharp ends. A short spear is roughly waist- to chest-high on its wielder. A classic example is the Hasta. Improvised versions of this weapon include hiking poles and the remains of a long spear cut in two. A character can strike opponents up to 10 feet away with a Long Spear, but can’t use it against an adjacent foe. A character can strike opponents up to 5 feet away with a Short Spear, but can’t use it against an adjacent foe.
Heavy/Light Mace: A light mace is a development of the club, weighted with flanges to deal more damage to the target. A Heavy Mace is just as a light mace, but must be wielded with two hands. This weapon does bludgeoning. Improvised version of this weapon would include baseball bats with nails or rivets.
Light/Heavy Pick: A light pick is a weapon designed to concentrate its force on a small, penetrating point, in order to defeat armor. It is a small, one-handed instrument that includes a single point. Improvised version of this weapon might include rock cutting picks. A heavy pick is a larger, two-handed version of the light pick. Improvised version of this weapon might include a miner's pickaxe.

Exotic Melee Weapons Most exotic weapons are either atypical in form or improved variations of other melee weapons. Because each exotic weapon is unique in how it is manipulated and employed, a separate Exotic Melee Weapon Proficiency feat is required for each one in order to avoid the -4 non-proficient penalty.
Great Sword: A great sword is a massive two-handed sword is reminiscent of an iron beam with a handle and a cutting edge. A classic example is the German zweihander. Improvised versions of this unique weapon are extremely unlikely.
Jagged Sword: A jagged sword has an irregular blade that savagely shreds an opponent’s armor or flesh. Classic examples include the Chinese nine-ring broadsword and the Incan obsidian blade. An improvised version is a long nail-ridden board.
Weighted/Whip Chain:A weighted chain consists of a light 10- to 15-ft. chain and a set of metal weights used to entangle an opponent, or their weapon. It can be whirled quickly, striking with hard blows from the weights. An improvised version of this weapon is a pair of horseshoes tied to the ends of a rope. A whip chain is a flexible weapon is similar to a three-section staff, featuring 8-10 short metal bars, connected by 3-4 links of chain. It is wielded much like a whip, with a single handle at one end. An improvised version of this weapon might consist of links of steel cable.
The weighted chain can be used as a double weapon. A character can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, incurring all the normal attack penalties as if using a one-handed weapon and a Small weapon. In this case, the character can only strike at an adjacent opponent. The whip chain can be used as a reach weapon. If a character uses the chain as a reach weapon, they can strike opponents up to 10 feet away. In addition, unlike other weapons with reach, the character can use it against an adjacent foe. Because a chain can wrap around an enemy’s leg or other limb, a character can make a trip attack with it. If the character is tripped during their own trip attempt, the character can drop the chain to avoid being tripped. When using a chain, the character receives a +2 equipment bonus when attempting to trip, or disarm (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if the character fails to disarm the opponent). A character can select the Weapon Finesse feat to apply their Marksmanship modifier instead of Focus modifier to attack rolls with a chain.
Flail: This weapon, often also referred to as a “morning star,” is a spiked iron ball attached to an iron or wooden rod by a long piece of chain. No improvised weapons mimic this unique weapon.
Garrote: This weapon consists of a short cord, often with handles at each end. It is used to improve leverage when choking someone from behind, and grants a +2 equipment bonus to for all grapple checks to strangle. Improvised versions of this weapon include shoelaces and lengths of extension cord.
Chain Saw: Military and police units use powered saws to cut through fences and open doors rapidly. They are sometimes pressed into service as weapons, often by people who watch too many movies. Improvised versions of this unique weapon do not exist.
Injection Knife: An injection knife is a diving knife that has a CO2 cartridge in the handle. When stabbed into an object, a small button can be pressed(for 1 Combat Point), that will inject freezing cold CO2 into it's target. It has an internal magazine of one, and requires a new CO2 cartridge for every use. Improvised versions of this unique weapon do not exist. Threatening critical for this weapon only changes the initial blade damage, not the cold damage. Kama: A Kama is a wooden shaft with a scythe blade extending at a right angle out from the shaft. Improvised versions of this unique weapon are extremely unlikely.
Kukri: This heavy, curved dagger has its sharp edge on the inside of the curve. Improvised versions of this unique weapon are extremely unlikely. For the purpose of attacks and feats, this weapon is considered a knife.
Nunchuck: A popular martial arts weapon, the Nunchuck is made of two wooden shafts connected by a short length of rope or chain. Improvised versions of this unique weapon are extremely unlikely.
Three-Section Staff: Originally a farm implement for threshing grain, this weapon is composed of three sections of wood of equal lengths, joined at the ends by chain, leather, or rope. The three-section staff requires two hands to use. Improvised versions of this unique weapon are extremely unlikely.
The three-section staff is a double weapon. A character can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, but if they do, the character incurs all the normal attack penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, as if using a one-handed weapon and a Small weapon.

Any improvised weapon does the same amount of damage as a real weapon in it's class, but unlike real weapons, improvised weapons are not designed to take the amount of stress a real weapon can take. An improvised weapon has a 50% chance of breaking each time it is used. Improvised weapons also incur a -2 penalty when being used in combat.
Melee Weapon Upgrades
There are 2 locations where an upgrade may be place. The handle and the contact. Each melee weapon can accept up to two upgrades per location. Certain upgrades can only be performed on certain types of weapons.
Composite(Contact/Handle): The weapon is upgraded with non-ferrous materials, which allow a character to slip it through metal detecting devices. It Grants a +10 Stealth check against metal detectors, but only for the part upgraded.
Custom Handle(Handle): The weapon’s hilt or handle is fitted to a mold of the wielder’s hand, granting him a +1 equipment bonus with all attack rolls made with the weapon. Anyone else who tries to use the weapon suffers a -2 equipment penalty to their attack rolls.
Concealed:(Contact) This upgrade disguises the weapon as an everyday, inconspicuous object, granting a +10 to stealth to hide the weapon. Only swords or knives of medium or smaller size may use this upgrade.
Detailing(Contact/Handle): This upgrade gives the weapon an engraved or a precious metal inlay, granting its wielder a +2 equipment bonus with Presence checks while the target has line of sight to it. This upgrade also increases the weapon's worth by 75%(Multiply the weapon's wealth point cost by 1.75, rounded up to the nearest full point) The weapon loses this quality if it suffers any damage. (though it may be restored with a successful repair check)
Practice Weapon(Contact): This upgrade replaces the weapon's contact with a wooden, softened or blunted version that inflicts non-lethal damage equal to the weapon’s standard damage.
Razor Sharp(Contact): This upgrade sharpens the blade on a bladed weapon as sharp as possible, granting a +3 Damage Bonus. This upgrade may only be performed on weapons with blades or points.
Retractable(Contact): This upgrade allows the weapon to be folded down to one Size category smaller than standard. Folding or unfolding the weapon requires 1 Combat Point.
Silvered(Contact): This upgrade infuses the weapon with alchemical silver, which has adverse affects to certain creatures.
Weighted(Contact): This upgrade adds weight to the contact of a blunt weapon, increasing it's lethality, but making it unwieldy. It grants a -2 to attack rolls, a +1 damage die, and increases the weapon's weight by 50%. Only weapons that deal bludgeoning damage may be weighted.
Jagged(Contact): This upgrade adds ridges and serrations in the knife, that rip and tear as they move through an object. When hit with a knife with the jagged upgrade, the character is immediately considered bleeding(As if they had taken 3 damage), as long as they are not wearing protective armor.

When using a ranged weapon, the wielder applies their Marksmanship modifier to the attack roll.
Range Increment and the Range Penalty The range penalty for a ranged weapon depends on what weapon the character is using and how far away the target is. All ranged weapons and thrown weapons have a range increment. Any attack from a distance of less than one range increment is not penalized for range. However, each full range increment causes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll. When a weapon uses shells, the range increment affects both it's attack roll and it's damage roll, providing a cumulative-2 penalty for each. A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments. Ranged weapons that fire projectiles can shoot up to ten increments.
Firearms Handguns, Machine pistols, Submachine guns, Carbines, Shotguns, Rifles, Grenade launchers, Machine guns and some Rocket launchers are all personal firearms. A personal firearm is any firearm designed to be carried and used by a single person.
Firearms are cartridge weapons. A cartridge is a self-contained package consisting of the projectile, the propellant, a primer, and a casing to hold it all together. The projectile is the bullet or shot that the weapon fires. The propellant is a charge of gunpowder. When the round is fired, the propellant charge burns up very quickly; in a tiny fraction of a second. In doing so, it expands to many times its original volume. This creates tremendous pressure within the weapon, which forces the bullet or shot down the gun’s barrel and out toward the target. The primer is a small explosive cap in the base of the cartridge. When the primer is struck by the weapon’s hammer or firing pin, it explodes. This, in turn, ignites the propellant and fires the weapon. The casing is a cylindrical shell that holds the various components together. The bullet goes at one end, and the primer goes at the other. The propellant charge goes in between. In high-powered weapons, such as rifles, casings are often necked, meaning that the casing is wider than the bullet. This configuration allows more propellant to be loaded, which results in a more powerful blast when the weapon is fired. Casings are usually made out of metal (brass is the most common material). Shotgun shells are often made from paper or plastic instead.
Black Powder Weapons Black Powder weapons differ from modern firearms in that they do not use cartridges, rather loading the bullet, primer, and powder in the gun's barrel or cylinder. Each barrel or cylinder takes 12 Combat Points to load. Because the powder has to be loaded manually, a black powder firearm can be loaded in one of three configurations. It can be loaded lightly, which grants -1 damage die but reduces the error range by 10% , normally, which grants no bonus or penalties, or heavily, which grants +1 damage die, but increases the weapon's Error range by 20%. If a black powder weapon is loaded heavily, and fails it's Error Range check, it explodes, and causes 1d8 slashing damage to it's user, and destroys the firearm. One lb. Of powder provides 60 light loads, 30 normal loads, or 15 heavy loads. The Black Powder Firearms Proficiency Feat is required to load black powder firearms, and use them without a -4 attack penalty, however, any character with the Personal Firearms Proficiency can use a Black Powder weapon without penalty, but cannot reload them. Because of how black powder weapons work, the error range is checked before, not after, a weapon is fired, to see if the gun went off at all. Different types of firearms accept ammunition in different ways. The box magazine is the most common method for loading modern firearms. The box magazine is essentially a detachable box that holds a number of ammunition cartridges. The magazine is inserted into a well on the weapon to load it. When the weapon is fired, it takes a cartridge from the magazine and sends the bullet down range. After firing, the action is cycled to load the next cartridge. In automatic weapons, this occurs mechanically as part of the firing cycle. When the magazine is empty, it is removed and replaced with a fresh one. Secondly, there are revolvers. Instead of getting ammunition from a box magazine, a revolver has a rotating cylinder that holds the ready ammunition. As the weapon is fired, the chamber revolves to advance the next cartridge to the firing position. Thirdly, there are belt fed weapons, which fire ammunition from interlinked belts. As the weapon is fired, the old belt link is moved to the side, and the link with the new ammunition comes forward. Finally, there is the internal magazine, holding ammunition in a non-detachable part of the weapon. Internal magazines include tubular magazines, which consists of a metal tube running along the barrel, usually underneath it, that holds the ready ammunition. As each bullet or shell is fired , a spring pushes the next cartridge in the tube back to be fed into the firing chamber. There are also Blind Magazines. Blind magazines are similar to a box magazines, except that they are built into the weapon and are not removed. Instead, the action is opened and cartridges are inserted directly into it. Tubular magazines are most common in shotguns, and blind magazines are used on some precision-target rifles or sniper rifles. After loading the weapon with ammunition, it must be cocked. This means that the bolt or hammer is drawn back into position and the first cartridge is loaded from the magazine into the firing chamber. The weapon is then ready to be fired.
Once the gun is loaded, the shooter pulls the trigger to fire it. Pulling the trigger sets the firing cycle in motion. The trigger mechanism moves an internal arm or lever, called the sear, which releases the weapon’s hammer or firing pin. The hammer springs forward, striking the back of the cartridge where the primer is located. The impact detonates the primer, which in turn ignites the propellant and fires the projectile. With single-shot weapons, that is all that happens. The user must then manually cycle the action, which accomplishes three things. First, the empty cartridge case is extracted and ejected from the weapon. Then, the next cartridge in the magazine feeds into the firing chamber, or the user reloads the firearm by hand. Finally, the bolt closes on the chamber, which seals it, cocks the firing pin back, and readies the weapon for firing again. Double shot weapons can be fired twice, one for each barrel, before this must take place. On auto-loading weapons (those that operate semi-automatically or automatically), this process of cycling is carried out by the mechanical action of the weapon. The action cycles by itself, driven either by the recoil force or the pressure from the propellant gases. For semi-automatics, the user simply pulls the trigger again to fire another shot and repeat the cycle, until the magazine is emptied and the weapon must be reloaded. On automatic designs, the action will continue to cycle and fire as long as the trigger is held down or until the weapon runs out of ammunition. Select-fire weapons are those capable of firing in either semiautomatic or automatic mode, as desired. Bolt, Pump, and Lever action weapons require the user to work the action themselves, to remove the used casing, and chamber a new round into the barrel, to be fired again. Single Action firearms require the hammer to be pulled back manually, which prepares for the next shot to be fired.
Any firearm that uses a box magazine, or any lever action or pump action weapon can carry an extra cartridge in the chamber. To put a cartridge in the chamber, the weapon is loaded as normal. (Chambering a round is part of the normal loading process.) Then the magazine is removed, an extra bullet or shell is added (to replace the one that was chambered), and the magazine is reinserted. This process takes 12 Combat Points. For lever action and pump action weapons, the weapon is loaded as normal. (Chambering a round is part of the normal loading process.) then an extra bullet or shell is added (to replace the one that was chambered) This process takes 4 Combat Points. Generally, the closer a target is to the shooter, the easier it is to score a hit. The farther away a target is, the smaller it appears and the more difficult it is to hit. To counteract this difficulty, the use of telescopic scopes has become popular. A telescopic scope gives the shooter a magnified view of a distant target, facilitating aim. It also uses a targeting reticule or cross hair to identify the bullet’s point of impact. When a scope is fitted to a rifle, it must be zeroed, meaning that it must be adjusted so that the cross hairs accurately show the actual impact point at a given range. This process requires the personal weapons proficiency, and 5 bullets or shells, as well as somewhere to test fire the weapon.
All firearms are ballistic damage weapons and have a critical range of 16-18, unless otherwise noted.
Using a magazine with a higher capacity than the standard magazine issued imposes a -4 penalty to Stealth checks to hide the weapon.
Close Combat and Firearms Firearms are anything but close ranged weapons: they're designed with range in mind, and the benefits that come from it. Because of this, many firearms are unwieldy to use in close quarters.
When using a shotgun with a choked or slug barrel or a full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -3 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using an assault rifle, battle rifle, or target rifle with any full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -4 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using a Designated Marksman Rifle, sniper rifle, or anti-material rifle with any full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -6 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using a machine gun, rocket launcher or grenade launcher against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -8 penalty on all ranged attacks.
Error Range Error Range represents the likelihood a firearm will fail when used. A character using a weapon with a error range checks for weapon failure after making the attack roll and checking if the character's attack hit or missed it's target. If a d% roll is equal or lower than the weapon failure chance, the firearm has become jammed; the weapon can’t be fired until the shooter spends 12 Combat Points to clear the jam. Error Range can be removed from weapons that are manufactured with it by upgrading the weapon with Clockwork Action, or a Precision Upgrade. There are many things that can increase the Error Range in a weapon, and make it unreliable to use. Weapons with cylinders, single shot weapons, and specially noted weapons do not suffer the error range penalty that comes from using alternate types of ammunition.
Age: Age and heavy use can render a weapon unreliable. While this should never be a factor through the degree of time and use typical to a normal campaign, the GM can determine that an older weapon obtained by the characters is already unreliable due to age. A weapon that has been sitting in a museum might not become unreliable for fifty years, but one that has sat in the leaky trunk of an abandoned car for a couple of months might be unreliable. This grants a +40% towards the weapon's error range and only goes away if the weapon is repaired and cleaned(Craft (Mechanical) Repair(DC 20)).
Damage: Any firearm that has taken 1 point or more of damage is unreliable. This grants a +15% toward the weapon's error range and only goes away if the weapon is repaired(Craft( Mechanical) Repair DC 22). Immersion: Immersion in water, mud, or other liquids can affect reliability. Any time a weapon is immersed in a liquid it gains a +20% toward the weapon's error range. (Slight wetness, such as that caused by rain, is not sufficient to affect the weapon.) The error range increase goes away when the weapon is dried out, which takes 1 minute if the weapon is disassembled and dried by hand, or 6 hours if it is left to dry on its own.
Unreliable Ammunition: Alternate forms of Ammunition can cause a weapon's error range to increase, and affect the weapon's overall reliability. The error range goes away when the ammunition is removed, or is no longer used.
Checking for Error Range When Checking for error range for single shot and Double Fire attacks is a d% roll, checking if the roll is equal to or lower than the Error Range percentage. When determining the error range and damages for Autofire, Burst Fire, Suppressive Fire, Bumpfire, Sweepfire or Sprayfire based on ammunition, use the most rounds of a single type fired. If there are an equal amount of rounds from separate categories fired, the GM will designate a roll for each, and roll a d% to check. The only exception to this rule is Blank ammunition. If Blank ammunition makes up more than one-fifth of the bullets or shells fired, the firearm does no damage. When checking the error range for a weapon after firing it on Autofire,Burst Fire, Bumpfire, Sprayfire or Sweepfire, you add up the error range from all of the types of ammunition used, plus any error range from the firearm.(Example: If a character used Autofire and used JHP and Frangible Ammunition in a firearm with 0% error range, the error range check would be 15%)
When determining the error range for Double Tap, a character checks for error range after they have fired both bullets or shells instead of rolling for each round fired, however, the error range from both bullets or shells are added together, plus any error range from the firearm.
FIREARMS TABLES These tables list firearms in various categories, as well as the game statistics that go along with them.
Firearm: The Name and Model of the Firearm
Caliber: The caliber of the round the firearm fires. Multiple listings with a slash (Example: .357 Magnum/.38 Special)means that the firearm can fire any of the listed calibers, and Multiple listings without means that the weapon can chamber both rounds at the same time.
Magazine Size, Cost, and Type: The size of all available magazines for the firearm, how much each one cost, and what type of device the firearm uses. Listings of specific firearms means that this firearm uses that type of magazine, and they are interchangeable, if the magazine size, firearm model, and caliber match on both firearms. For box magazine firearms, the number on the left represents the capacity, and the number on the right represents how much it cost to purchase one magazine of that size.
Upgrade Points: The type of upgrades the firearm can accept.
Range Increment: The Range increment for the firearm. All Shotgun range increments affects both their damage, and their range. All benefits from upgrades have been already calculated in the weapon's range increment. Rate of Fire: The rate of fire for the firearm, as listed below. Semi stands for semi-automatic, where the firearm cycles itself for the next shot, and can perform a single fire attack, a bump fire attack(if it meets all the prerequisites), a double tap attack or a Potshot attack. Auto stands for fully automatic, where the firearm can perform an autofire attack, a suppressive fire attack, a sweepfire attack, a sprayfire attack or five round burst fire attack. 2R burst or 3R burst stands for Three or two round burst, which allows the weapon to perform a three round burst fire attack if three round burst, or a two round burst attack if two round burst. Single stands for single fire, where the firearm must be reloaded after it's fired. These types of weapons can perform single fire attacks. Double stands for double fire, where a firearm has two triggers, which can both be pulled to perform a doublefire attack, or one at a time, for two single fire attacks. SA stands for Single Action, which requires the hammer to be pulled back before firing again. These types of weapons can perform single, and fanning attacks. Lever stands for lever action, bolt stands for bolt action, and pump stands for pump action, where the firearm's cocking lever, bolt or pump must be worked manually to eject the spent casing or shell, and cycle a new one. These weapons can perform single fire attacks. Slam stands for slamfire, where a weapon can perform Slamfire attacks.
Size: The size of the firearm. The Smaller size denotes how large the weapon is when it is folded up, while the larger size denotes how large the weapon is fully extended, or assembled.
A small or smaller weapon is considered a light weapon and is easier to use in a character's off-hand.
Weight: How much the firearm weights, with all of the accessories equipped.

Bows and Crossbows Bows are split into two categories: Recurve Bows and Compound Bows. Both Bows and Crossbows do piercing damage. Bows and Crossbows require the Archaic Weapon Proficiency in order to be used without a -4 attack penalty. Bows are also classified by the amount of strength it takes to pull one back.
Bow Pulls A bow can be pulled back and readied in three different strengths: Light, Medium, and Heavy. The Light pull allows a character to fire their bow for less combat points, but at a -1 damage dice and at a range penalty. The Medium pull is standard, allowing a character to fire as normal. A Heavy pull takes more Combat points, but provides +1 Damage Die bonus and a range bonus.
Recurve Bow: A recurve bow is a bow that has tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is strung. By definition, the difference between recurve and other bows is that the string touches a section of the limb when the bow is strung. A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than an equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving a greater amount of energy and hence speed, to the arrow.
Compound Bow: A compound bow is a bow that uses a levering system of cables and pulleys to bend the limbs Compound bows are used for hunting, Olympic shooting, and general target practice.

Grenade Ammunition Types
Fragmentation Grenade: This is the most common type of launched grenade. It uses a small explosive charge to fling shards of metal in all directions.
High Explosive(HE) Grenade: These grenades are packed with a shaped charge, that when impacted, destroy armored targets and buildings. A HE grenade ignores 15 points of hardness.
High Explosive Dual Purpose(HEDP) Grenade: These grenades are a combination of the High Explosive, and the Fragmentation Grenade, allowing for use on armored targets, or soft targets. A HEDP ignores 10 points of Hardness.
Tear Gas Grenade: These grenades are used to disperse crowds and smoke out hostage takers. When the grenade is shot, a tear gas grenade fills the four squares around it with tear gas. On the following round, it fills all squares within 10 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 15 feet. Any target caught in the cloud of tear gas must make a fortitude saving throw(DC15) or be blinded and stunned for 2d4 rounds. A gas mask renders the target immune to the effects, and a wet cloth held over the eyes, nose ,and mouth provides a +2 to the fortitude saving throw.
Smoke Grenade: These grenades create smoke to signal or to conceal. When the grenade strikes a hard surface, it first burst and fills all squares within 10 feet with smoke. On the following round, it fills all squares within 15 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 20 feet. The smoke obscures all sight, including the dark- vision ability granted by night vision goggles. Anyone within the area has total concealment (attacks suffer a 50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). It disperses after 10 rounds. Smoke grenades are available in several colors, including white, red, yellow, green, blue, orange and purple. Beehive Grenade: These grenades fire a bundle of fletchette darts that rip and shred their target. It does 8d6 with a range increment of 20 feet, and has the same reductions as shotguns. This grenade must be used against a specific target, and does not incur the bludgeoning damage or the attack penalty when firing a grenade at a target.
Foam Slug Grenade: These grenades consists of a large foam slug, used when non-lethal force is necessary. It deals 4d6 non-lethal damage. This grenade must be used against a specific target, and does not incur the bludgeoning damage or the attack penalty when firing a grenade at a target.
Buckshot Grenade: These grenades fire a bundle of buckshot rounds, that penetrate the target, turning the grenade launcher into a large shotgun. It deals 3d10 damage with a range of 25 feet, and has the same reductions as shotguns. This grenade must be used against a specific target, and does not incur the bludgeoning damage or the attack penalty when firing a grenade at a target.
Flare Grenade: These grenades illuminates a 60 foot radius as if lit by daylight for 10 rounds. When used as a signal, a flare round may be spotted at a distance of 5 miles with a successful Perception check, whichever appropriate (DC 20 during the day, or 15 at night). A flare round may also be used as a weapon, having a range of 60 feet maximum, and doing 2d4 fire damage. Anyone shot with a flare round must make a Reflex save (DC18) or be caught on fire. A flare round can also ignite flammable material and fluids. This grenade does not incur the bludgeoning damage or the attack penalty when firing a grenade at a target.

On the following round, it fills all squares within 25 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 30 feet. The smoke obscures all sight, including the dark- vision ability granted by night vision goggles.

Ranged Weapon Upgrades
Ranged weapons can be customized with plenty of upgrades, weather for form, or fashion. There are 4 locations where an upgrade may be placed. The Optic mount, the Tactical mount, the Barrel, and the Frame. Each ranged weapon listed has a certain amount of mounts, and some upgrades can only be performed on certain types of weapons. A character can only benefit from ranged weapon upgrades, if they are proficient in the ranged weapon the upgrade is performed on.
The Optic mount: The optic mount is a mount that can accept lasers, flashlights, and Optics. A ranged weapon can have no more than one upgrade per optic point.
The Tactical Mount: The tactical mount is a system of rails that can accept lasers, flashlights, bipods, and secondary weapons such as under-barrel shotguns or grenade launchers. A ranged weapon can have no more than one upgrade per tactical point.
The Barrel: The barrel can be modified to accept suppressors, muzzle brakes, bayonet lugs or be upgraded itself. A ranged weapon can have no more than three upgrades per barrel at one time.
The Frame: The frame is the large part of the ranged weapon, which holds and can accept extra rails, different grips and stocks, slings, holds the modified internal workings, and customize the styling of the weapon. A ranged weapon can have no more than four upgrades on it's frame at one time. Barrel Upgrades
Extended Barrel(Barrel): This longer replacement barrel increases accuracy but adds weight and makes the weapon more noticeable. The firearm’s range increment increases by 10 ft. but the Perception DCs to detect it decrease by 2. This upgrade also increases the weapon's weight by 5% (Multiply by 1.05, rounded up to the nearest 2 oz.. )
Heavy Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel increases a rifle’s range increment by 20% (Multiply by 1.20, rounded to the nearest 5 ft.), and increases its weight by 15% (Multiply by 1.15, rounded up to the nearest 1 oz ). Only Rifles and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Ported Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel has large grooves or holes in the upper side of its tip, through which muzzle blast is vented. A ported barrel provides a +1 equipment bonus on all multi-shot attack rolls. If a barrel is threaded, it cannot be ported.
Threaded Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel is machined with screw threads on its tip, granting the firearm a threaded barrel. A Threaded barrel may accept only one accessory on the barrel at a time. If a barrel is ported, it cannot be threaded. Only Rifles, Handguns, and SMGs may use this upgrade
Match Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel is machined to tight specifications and tolerance for the tightest shots and accuracy. A Match barrel provides a +3 to attack rolls, but only when used with match grade ammunition. Only Rifles, Handguns, SMGs, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade
Straight Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel is the standard smooth barrel for a shotgun. When using the Straight barrel, a shotgun's range penalty applies to both it's attack and damage, but it does not take the ranged attack penalty when attacking an adjacent opponent. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade.
Slug Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel is machined with rifling, made specifically for slug ammunition in shotguns. The firearm gains a +2 attack bonus when using slugs or saboted slugs, but takes a -4 penalty to attack rolls when using any other type of ammunition. Also, when using the slug barrel with slug or saboted slug ammunition, the range increments for the shotgun only affect the attack roll, not the damage roll. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade.
Choked Barrel(Barrel):This replacement barrel is choked, allowing for better spread patterns when using birdshot. The firearm gains a +2 to attack rolls when using birdshot ammunition, but can not use any other type of shell. If any other type of shell is used in the shotgun, the barrel is completely destroyed, and the user takes 2d8 slashing damage. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade.
Shortened Barrel(Barrel): This replacement barrel is a shortened version of the original barrel, made for a handgun. The firearm gains a +2 to conceal, but but decreases the handgun's range increment by 40%(Multiply by .60, rounded to the nearest 5 ft.). The weapon is also unable to take any other barrel upgrades, and all other barrel upgrades are removed. Only Handguns may use this upgrade.
Bayonet Lug(Barrel): This upgrade installs a bayonet mount, which can be used to attach a bayonet to fight. Attaching or removing the bayonet requires 10 Combat Points. Only Rifles and Shotguns may use this upgrade.
Muzzle Brake(Barrel): This accessory attaches to the tip of a firearm’s barrel, providing a +3 to attack on all multi-shot attack rolls. The barrel must be threaded in order to use the Muzzle Brake. It may be removed for 10 Combat Points. Suppressor(Barrel):A suppressor is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon. When the suppressor is attached, each perception check made to hear this weapon firing suffers a -10 penalty. This penalty increases to -15 if subsonic ammunition is used. Suppressors are rated by how many damage dice a caliber has, and by any modifications that the ammunition makes to those dice damage. A suppressor's level must meet or exceed the amount of damage dice it is rated for in order to suppress the firearm successfully. (For example, a level 2 suppressor can suppress 9x19mm, which uses 2d6, and .22 LR, which uses 1d4.)
Optics and Sights Upgrades
Optic Mount(Frame): The firearm gains an optic upgrade location if it does not have one. A firearm can have no more than one Optic Mount.
Advanced Combat Sight(Optics): This accessory combines the benefits of a red dot sight and a 3× telescopic sight. When using this sight, a character does not suffer the -4 penalty for the first range increment, as would be on the normal 3x telescopic sight, and they only must spend 3 combat points to acquire their target.
Adjustable Telescopic Sight(Optics): This accessory is an adjustable telescopic sight, allowing for multiple magnification levels in a single sight. It is purchasable in a variety of different magnifications. Switching between magnification levels cost 12 Combat Points.
Day/Night Sight(Optics): This accessory combines the benefits of a night vision sight and a telescopic sight. Switching between night vision and daytime modes cost 12 Combat Points.
Red Dot Sight(Optics): This accessory projects an illuminated red dot onto a piece of glass or plastic, superimposing it over the shooter’s field of vision as he looks through the sight. It visually resembles a laser sight to the shooter, but no actual dot is projected downrange. A red dot sight grants a +1 to all attack rolls made within the weapon's first 5 range increments.
Telescopic Sight(Optics): A telescopic sight is a sighting device that makes it easier to hit targets at long range. However, although a scope magnifies the image of the target, it has a very limited field of view, making it difficult to use at close range. The Telescopic sight increases the range increment for a ranged weapon. However, to use a scope a character must spend 6 Combat Points acquiring their target. If the character changes targets or otherwise lose sight of the target, they must reacquire the target to gain the benefit of the scope. Also, any character attempting to attack a target within the weapon's first range increment suffers a -4 penalty to their attack roll, but the second range increment at a +0 bonus. Shotguns, machine-pistols, bows, crossbows, and handguns do not gain the benefit of using any telescopic sight stronger than 3x, SMG's do not gain the benefit of using any telescopic sight stronger than 6x, and carbine rifles do not gain the benefit from using any telescopic sight stronger than 9x.
• 1.5x-3x: Multiply range increment by 1.25 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 3.1x-6x: Multiply range increment by 1.5 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 6.1x-9x: Multiply range increment by 1.75 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 9.1x-12x: Multiply range increment by 2 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 12.1x-15x: Multiply range increment by 2.25 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 15.1x-18x: Multiply range increment by 2.5 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 18.1x-21x: Multiply range increment by 2.75 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) • 21.1x+: Multiply range increment by 3 (Rounded up to the nearest 5ft) Thermal Sight(Optics): This accessory literally “sees heat.” It negates all vision penalties for darkness and smoke with regard to people, creatures, and objects warmer than the surrounding scenery , but only when looking at sources of heat — ambient or otherwise — between 60°F and 120°F(outside this range, everything appears cold blue or white hot). Further, a thermal sight cannot register warmth through heat-shielded scenery or through any scenery over 2 inches thick. Finally, if the accessory is purchased with magnification, it operates like an equivalent telescopic sight.
Night Vision Sight(Optics): Night vision optics amplify existing low levels of visible and near-infrared light and convert them to a monochrome visual image. In twilight or brighter lighting conditions, a night vision sight is useless as the electronics shut down to prevent damage. So long as at least Dim light is available, this accessory negates the vision penalties applied by low ambient light except ’None‘. The accessory can be purchased with magnification, operating like an equivalent telescopic sight.
Standard Laser Sight(Optics/Tactical) : This accessory projects a visible-frequency laser beam, usually red, parallel to the weapon’s barrel. It grants a +1 to all single shot attack rolls and a +2 to all potshot attack rolls made against any target within 40 ft. A laser sight can also be purchased in blue, green, or purple, but these cost the original wealth point cost + 3.
Infrared Laser Sight(Optics/Tactical): This accessory operates like a standard laser sight but projects an infrared dot that cannot be seen by the naked eye, visible only with night-vision equipment. It grants a +1 to all single shot and potshot attack rolls made against any target within 120 ft.
Multi-Mode Laser Sight(Optics/Tactical): This accessory combines a standard laser sight and an IR laser sight in one housing. Switching between modes requires 2 Combat Points.
Ghost Ring Sight(Optics): This accessory is a tube ranging from 3–6 cm long, with the post mounted at the inside end of the tube, or a ring on the optics mount still utilizing the standard end sight. It reduces the range increment of the weapon by 25%(Multiply by .75, rounded to the nearest 5ft), but grants a +2 to all attack rolls made within the weapon's first 4 range increments.
Ergonomics and Aesthetic Upgrades
Custom Grip(Frame): The weapon’s grip is fitted to a mold of the wielder’s hand, granting him a +1 to all attack rolls made with the weapon. Anyone else who tries to use the weapon suffers a -2 attack penalty to their attack rolls. Only Handguns may use this upgrade Grip Sight(Frame): This upgrade is a laser sight built into the grip of the weapon, forgoing the extra bulk of a normal laser sight, but at a higher cost. It grants a +1 to all single shot attack rolls made against any target within 40 ft. A grip sight can also be purchased in blue, green, or purple, but these cost the original wealth point cost + 6. Only Handguns may use this upgrade
Detailing(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon an engraved or a precious metal inlay, granting its wielder a +1 bonus to all Presence checks while the target has line of sight to it. This upgrade also increases the weapon's worth by 75%(Multiply the weapon's wealth point cost by 1.75, rounded up to the nearest full point) The weapon loses this quality if it suffers any damage. (though it may be restored by repairing it with a successful Craft(Mechanical) check). Finish(Frame): This upgrade changes the finish to either blued(A dark finish), chrome(A shiny, light finish), Camouflage(Woodland, Desert, or Winter), or Rainbow(Any color not black, chrome or camo pattern). To change the finish of the gun to a Camouflage color, it cost the original wealth point cost of the upgrade + 6. When used in the appropriate setting, Camouflage gives a +1 to all stealth checks for all large and larger firearms. Changing the finish does not use any upgrade points.
Bipod(Tactical/Frame) : A bipod gives a weapon additional stability and, under the right circumstances, improves aim. To use a bipod, a character must be able to place it on a solid surface at roughly shoulder height. The most common method of using a bipod is to fire from the prone position, so that the user's shoulder, like the weapon and the bipod, is close to the ground. However, a weapon with a bipod can be used from a crouched or even standing position if the bipod is set on a wall or table. Only Large or larger weapons can benefit from a bipod. A bipod used with a Large weapon grants the user a +1 bonus on all attack rolls. Any Huge or larger weapon must be used with a bipod or other type of mount. Because the bipod or mount is a necessary and standard part of such a weapon’s support, it does not grant the +1 bonus on attack rolls that a bipod provides when it is used with a Large weapon. Most bipods can be folded up for ease of transport. Deploying a folded bipod cost 1 Combat Point.
Ergonomic Stock(Frame): This upgrade is usually seen on sniper rifles and competition shotguns. It requires precise measurements of the intended wielder’s upper body(Which takes 1d4 days to acquire) to ensure that the gun perfectly matches his shooting posture. It grants the intended wielder a +3 bonus with all single shot attack rolls made using the firearm, as well as decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1. Anyone else who tries to use the weapon suffers a -4 equipment penalty with his attack checks. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Fixed Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a fixed stock that increases accuracy and while allowing the stock to be used as a secondary weapon. It grants a +1 to all multi-shot attacks and decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Pistol Grip(Frame):This upgrade removes the stock and gives the weapon a pistol like grip that allows the weapon to be more concealable, but at a loss of accuracy. It grants a +3 to Stealth Checks to hide it and imparts a -3 penalty to attack rolls, but takes no penalties when fighting an adjacent enemy. A pistol grip may not be used to rifle butt. This upgrade is considered a stock upgrade, and a weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Folding Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a collapsible stock that increases accuracy while allowing the stock to be folded up for quick carry. When the stock is extended, it gives a +1 to all multi-shot attacks and decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1. A folding stock may not be used to rifle butt. When it is folded, it grants a +1 to Stealth checks to hide it, and the weapon's size rating goes back to it's normal size rating. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade. Synthetic Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a synthetic stock that increases accuracy while saving on weight. It grants a +1 attack bonus to all multi-shot attacks, decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 2, and it's weight decreases by 30%(multiply by .70). A synthetic stock may not be used to rifle butt. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Buffer Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a stock with a recoil tube spring, which allows for severely reduced recoil, when firing multiple rounds. It grants a +3 attack bonus to all multi-shot attacks. A buffer stock may not be used to rifle butt. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, SMGs, Machine Pistols, Shotguns, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade. Bumpfire Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a stock that recesses back as the user fires, which allows for more control while bumpfiring. It grants a +4 to all bumpfire attack rolls, but a -2 penalty to all single shot and double tap attack rolls. A bumpfire stock may not be used to rifle butt. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Rifles, Machine pistols, and Shotguns may use this upgrade.
Detachable Stock(Frame):This upgrade gives the weapon a stock that may be removed from weapon. When attached, it gives a +1 to all multi-shot attacks and decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1. A detachable stock may only be attached to the weapon it was designed for. When attached to a weapon, it always increases the size rating of the weapon by one size category. A detachable stock may not be used to rifle butt. Attaching or removing a detachable stock cost 6 Combat Points. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only handguns and machine pistols may use this upgrade.
Buttpad: This upgrade adds a soft padding to the butt of a stock of a weapon, to give increased recoil control. This upgrade gives a +1 attack bonus when Double-tapping, Slamfiring, or Burst-firing. A buttpad can only be attached to a stock, and if the stock is removed, the buttpad is as well.
Firing Mode Upgrades
Full Auto Modification(Frame): This upgrade allows the weapon to fire in Full Auto mode, but because the weapon was not originally engineered to take the stress of automatic fire, the weapon's error range increases by 20%, and the weapon loses the ability to fire in single shot mode. This upgrade is also highly illegal without proper licenses, and may cause an investigation if the police hear of the weapon’s conversion.
Full Auto Upgrade(Frame):This upgrade allows the weapon to fire in Full Auto mode, fitting it with parts designed to take the stress of automatic fire, as well as retaining the ability to fire in single shot mode or burst fire mode. This upgrade is also highly illegal without proper licenses, and may cause an investigation if the police hear of the weapon’s conversion.
Burst Fire Upgrade(Frame):This upgrade allows the weapon to fire in three or two round burst fire mode, fitting it with parts designed to take the stress of automatic fire, as well as retaining the ability to fire in single shot mode or full auto mode. This upgrade is also highly illegal without proper licenses, and may cause an investigation if the police hear of the weapon’s conversion.
Slam Fire Modification(Frame):This upgrade removes the trigger disconnect of a pump action firearm, allowing the weapon to fire in slam fire mode, as well as increasing the weapon's error range by 15%. Single Action Modification(Frame): This upgrade turns a Semi-automatic revolver into a single action only revolver, granting a +1 to all fanning attacks, but removing the ability to perform double tap attacks. Only Revolvers may use this upgrade.
Internal Upgrades
Precision Upgrade(Frame): These upgrades improve the weapon's accuracy by competitive degrees. Each upgrade has the following effects.
• If the weapon has an error range from manufacturing or modification, it becomes mastercraft +1 firearm • If the weapon doesn't have an error range from manufacturing or modification , it becomes a mastercraft +2 firearm • If the weapon is considered mastercraft +1 or +2 , it becomes a grandmastercraft +3 firearm
Clockwork Action(Frame): This upgrade completely tears down and examines the gun’s inner workings, reconditioning and replacing any parts as necessary, and treating the weapon for durability and resilience. The weapon's error range is removed for the error range due to the manufacture or modification of the weapon.
Sawed-Off(Frame and Barrel): A shotgun may be cut down to one of the following 4 lengths. • Combat Cut (20-18.5 in.): The weapon’s range increment decreases by 5 ft. and it does not take the ranged penalty when fighting an adjacent opponent. • Coach Gun (6-12 in.): The weapon’s range increment decreases by 10 ft. and it gains a +2 to Stealth checks to hide it. • Down to the Nub (6 in. — standard minimum): The weapon’s range increment decreases by half(rounded down, minimum 10 ft.), its size becomes medium, its weight decreases by 40% (Multiply by .60, rounded down), and it gains a -2 penalty to attack rolls. If a shotgun is a semi-automatic or pump action with an internal magazine, it's capacity decreases by 50%(Multiply by .50, rounded down). Only Semi-Automatic, Pump action, Single or Doublefire shotguns may use this upgrade. • Nebraska (less than 6 in. of barrel and a pistol grip):The weapon's range increment decreases to 5 ft., its size becomes small, its weight decreases by 60% (Multiply by .40, rounded down), and it gains a -4 penalty to attack rolls. Only shotguns with single or doublefire may use this upgrade.
Tightened Drawstring(Frame): This upgrade makes the drawstring of a bow stronger, giving it more damaging power. When calculating damage for the upgraded bow, use the character's strength power modifier * 2. Only bows may accept this upgrade.
Tactical Upgrades
Extra Rail(Frame): The firearm gains 1 additional tactical rail upgrade location. No firearm may possess more than 4 tactical rail locations.
Taser Mount(Tactical): This accessory is M26 Taser that attaches to the bottom rail of a rifle's tactical rail, much like a grenade launcher, and is used similarly to one. It may be attached, or removed with 12 Combat Points. Only Rifles and SMGs may use this upgrade.
Master Key System(Tactical):This accessory is a shortened Remington 870 Express shotgun, that attaches to the bottom rail of a rifle's tactical rail, much like a grenade launcher. It may be attached, or removed with 12 Combat Points. The masterkey has an internal magazine of 3, a range increment of 20 ft, uses 12 Gauge shells and does not gain error range due to ammunition. Only Rifles and SMGs may use this upgrade. Patrol Sling(Frame): This item allows the wielder to hang a weapon from his shoulder, allowing him the use of his hands without setting it down. The weapon is considered holstered, when hanging off of the wielder's shoulder. Only Shotguns, Rifles, SMGs, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Shotgun Sling(Frame): This item works just as a patrol sling does, but also holds 15 shotgun shells as well, which are considered ready. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade. Using a shotgun sling negates the necessity to reach into a pack to retrieve ammunition. Tactical Sling(Frame): This item holds a firearm across the wearer’s body, keeping its grip within a foot of his normal hand position. The wielder is always considered armed with the weapon, but it cannot be concealed. Only Shotguns, Rifles, SMGs, and Machine Guns may use this upgrade.
Shotshell Holder(Frame/Tactical): This accessory mounts on the frame or tactical mount of a shotgun, to hold shells for quick use. It can hold up to 6 shells of it's caliber.
Secure-Clip(Frame): A Secure-Clip is a metal clip mounted on the frame of a handgun, allowing for Mexican carry without worrying about the firearm falling out from rough movement. While using a Secure-Clip, a character does not have to roll a reflex save to catch their firearm while Mexican carrying it. Only Small or smaller firearms may use this upgrade.
Cartridge Holder(Frame/Tactical): This accessory mounts on the frame or tactical mount of a Rifle, Carbine, or SMG, to hold cartridges for quick use. It can hold up to 10 cartridges of it's caliber.
Tactical Flashlight(Tactical/Optics): This accessory projects light out to 20 ft. in front of the firearm. Switching the light on or off cost 1 Combat Point. It can also be purchased with infrared, or ultraviolet modes, at +5 to the Wealth Point cost per extra mode.
Vertical Foregrip(Frame/Tactical): This accessory offers a shooter more leverage than a standard rifle or SMG foregrip. It grants a +1 to all multi-shot attacks. Only Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs, Machine Pistols, and Machine guns may use this upgrade.
Ammunition Upgrades
Overpressure : This ammunition upgrade loads the ammunition to a higher internal pressure than standard for the ammunition of it's caliber. It provides a +6 damage bonus and a +20% error range, but if a firearm jams from the error range, it explodes, causing 1d6 slashing damage, and completely destroys the firearm. This affects all firearms, including revolvers, unless otherwise noted. Any cased ammunition may be over-pressured.
Subsonic : This ammunition upgrade loads the ammunition with a reduced propellant charge so that the bullets do not exceed the speed of sound. It provides -5 damage penalty , a -15 penalty to the Perception check to hear this weapon when used with a suppressor, and a +25% error range. Any cased ammunition may be Subsonic.
Linked: This ammunition upgrade links ammunition to be fired by weapons that used linked ammunition. Any Cased ammo may be linked. The price listed is for 100 rounds of any ammunition.
Silver: This ammunition upgrade recast the bullet or coats the arrowhead with a layer of alchemical silver, or replaces the shot with silver pellets or a silver slug, which may affect certain creatures, and provoke folklore.

Explosives and Splash Weapons These weapons explode or burst, dealing damage to creatures or objects within an area.
Blast Radius The Blast Radius shows the range of squares that an explosive destroys. A 5 foot blast radius affects a single 5 foot square, while a 10 foot blast radius affects every adjacent square to where the explosives were planted or detonated.
Wounding Radius for Explosives Explosives often reach out past their original blast radius, and still are effective. This is called the wounding radius. The wound radius of any explosive is is one square outside of the blast radius per 10 feet. Any target caught in the wounding radius, must make a Fortitude saving throw(DC16 + 1 per 10 feet of blast radius) or be knocked prone, and a Reflex saving throw(DC15 + 1 per 10 feet of blast radius), or take full damage. If the character passes the Reflex saving throw, they take half of the damage of explosive. Only explosives that cause damage can have a wounding radius.
Explosives can be thrown or set off in place, depending on the type of explosive device. Dynamite and hand grenades are examples of these weapons. All explosives must be detonated. Some, such as grenades, include built-in detonators. (Pulling the pin on a grenade cost no Combat Points) Others require timers or other devices to set them off.
Grenades Grenades come in all different types , usually triggered by pulling the pin and releasing the spoon, which starts the fuse. All Grenades take a full combat round in order to detonate, unless noted otherwise.
Concussion Grenade: These grenades rely on their explosive power to inflict injury. Any target caught in the blast must make a Fortitude saving throw(DC17) or be knocked prone.
Fragmentation Grenade: This is the most common style of hand grenade. It uses a small explosive charge to fling shards of metal in all directions. Any target caught in the blast must make a Fortitude saving throw(DC15) or be knocked prone.
Defensive Grenade: These grenades are used for defensive purposes, as they have rather large blast radius for grenades, barely as far as one can accurately throw them. They are more suited to making traps, than being thrown. Any target caught in the blast must make a Fortitude saving throw(DC15) or be knocked prone.
Smoke Grenade: These hand grenades create smoke to signal or to conceal. When the grenade is thrown, a smoke grenade first has a burst radius of 10 feet. On the following round, it fills all squares within 15 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 20 feet. The smoke obscures all sight, including the dark-vision ability granted by night vision goggles. Anyone within the area has total concealment (attacks suffer a 50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). It disperses after 10 rounds. Smoke grenades are available in several colors, including white, red, yellow, green, blue, orange and purple.
Stun Grenade: Also known as flash bangs, these grenades create a loud flash and bang when they are released. Any target caught in the blast must make a Will saving throw(DC16) or be blinded for 1d6 rounds, and a fortitude saving throw(DC16) to avoid being deafened for 1d6 rounds. Sting Grenade: These hand grenades are based on the design of the fragmentation grenade but instead of using a metal casing to produce shrapnel, they use small rubber balls.
Tear gas Grenade: These hand grenades are used to disperse crowds and smoke out hostage takers. When the grenade is thrown, a tear gas grenade fills the four squares around it with tear gas. On the following round, it fills all squares within 10 feet, and on the third round it fills all squares within 15 feet. Any target caught in the cloud of tear gas must make a fortitude saving throw every round they spend in the tear gas(DC15 + 1 per round staying in the gas) or be blinded and stunned for 2d4 rounds. A gas mask renders the target immune to the effects, and a wet cloth held over the eyes, nose, and mouth provides a +2 to the fortitude saving throw.
Thermite Grenade: This grenade has no blasting charge or explosive capability. It is used to destroy rugged equipment, often reducing it to useless slag with it's intensive heat. It burns in a single 5ft square.
White Phosphorous Grenade: This grenade employs a small explosive charge to disperse burning phosphorus particles in all directions. It can be devastatingly effective against people, having a gruesome tendency to cling to human flesh. Any target that takes damage from a White Phosphorus grenade is dealt an additional 1d6 points of fire damage in the following round and risks catching on fire.
Anti-Armor Grenade: This Grenade employs a shaped charge in order to defeat armor. It detonates on contact with any hard surface, and ignores up to 10 points of hardness.
Pipe Bomb: This homemade device is usually assembled with a quantity of black powder and metal fragments inside a metal pipe. Pipe bombs can be extremely dangerous to build.
Propane Bomb: This is a homemade explosive device consisting of a widely available propane fuel bottle duct- taped to a highway flare.
Molotov Cocktail: This homemade explosive device is common on the street, consisting of a glass bottle filled with a flammable liquid(Usually Gasoline), and an oily rag for a wick. It shatters when it hits a hard surface, spraying flaming gasoline over the immediate area. Anyone hit with a Molotov cocktail takes 1d6 slashing damage, as well as any applicable fire damage.
Breakable Beaker: A breakable beaker is a breakable glass beaker and capped off with a rubber stopper or wood cork, that can be filled with any volatile liquid. The damage is based on what kind of liquid is put into the beaker. It shatters when it hits a hard surface, spraying volatile chemicals over the immediate area.

Pre-made Charges Pre-made charges are complete products with a detonator and explosive material, ready to be used.
Breaching Charge: This is a shaped charge consisting of 8 oz. of plastic explosive and an electrical detonator in an adhesive frame. It can ignore hardness up to 10
Satchel Charge: This is a canvas bag containing 1 lbs. of plastic explosive and a time detonator.
Anti-Tank Mine: This is a shaped charge with a pressure detonator set by default to 400 lbs. It is designed to disable armored vehicles by wrecking their treads. Anti-tank mines can ignore hardness up to 20
Bouncing Betty Mine: This is an anti-personnel mine that includes a tripwire detonator. When triggered, this mine springs 4 ft. in the air before exploding, spraying its fragmented contents over the unfortunates who stumbled over it.
Directional Mine: This is commonly called a “claymore” mine (after the name of the American version). It consists of a curved steel backing plate, a layer of plastic explosive, and several hundred ball bearings. Its folding “feet” are dug into the ground, or it can be stood up anywhere, and when it goes off — either by remote using its electric blasting cap or by the included tripwire detonator — it sprays the ball bearings in one direction, leaving the anyone to its sides or rear unscathed. It fires in a 30 foot cone.
Fire Jar: A fire jar is essentially the mine version of a Molotov Cocktail. It is set behind doors, or set with trip wires so when it is tipped on it's side, it burst into flames and ignites a large area with burning gasoline.

Raw Explosive Materials Raw Explosives may be used to create a bomb. In order to make a bomb, a detonator and a unit of the raw explosive materials are required. Constructing a bomb requires a demolitions check. The weight listed is the smallest unit available to be effective. When calculating the increase in burst radius and damage for multiple units, the new larger burst radius takes twice as much material as the old smaller burst radius, and the damage increases per unit used. (For example, to increase the burst radius of thermite from 5 feet to 10 feet, it requires an additional 16 oz. of thermite, but to increase it from 10 feet to 15 feet, it would require an additional 32 oz. Of thermite, for a total of 64 oz., and the damage for 64 oz. of thermite would be 32d6.)
ANFO: ANFO is short for “Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil,” the most common commercial explosive in use today for large-scale demolitions work (such as mining). This is the explosive of choice for rural terrorists due to the widespread availability of ammonium nitrate in farm fertilizer. ANFO may be mixed in solid or liquid (“ANFO slurry”) form.
Black Powder/Gunpowder: This was the first commercial explosive. It consists of sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter in a roughly 12/13/75 mixture.
Dynamite: Dynamite is nitroglycerin absorbed into porous clay.
Semtex/C4:Plastic explosive is stable and flexible, with the consistency of modeling clay. It is created by mixing a high-yield TNT derivative with wax or other plasticizes, and most commonly packaged in 4, 8 and 16 oz. blocks
Nitroglycerin: This is a highly unstable combination of glycol with nitric and sulfuric acids. Even the slightest bump can set it off while in liquid form.
Thermite: This powdered mixture of iron oxide and aluminum is technically an incendiary rather than an explosive, burning at over 5,400° F.
TNT: This is one of the first stable military explosives ever made. It is commonly packaged in 4, 8, and 16 oz. blocks.

Dual Mode Detonator: This detonator functions as a pressure and tripwire detonator.
Fuse Detonator: Fuses burn at 1 turn per two inches and are marked every two inches for hasty measuring. This is a waterproof fuse, which will burn in water. The entry listed is for 5 feet of fuse.
Pressure Detonator: This detonator is typically used in land mines. It is pre-set to detonate a non-electric blasting cap when subjected to a specific weight. This detonator can also be set to detonate when the set weight is removed.
Radio Detonator: This detonator is triggered by a coded radio signal on a set frequency.
Timer Detonator: This detonator may be set for up to 60 hours in 1-second increments.
Tripwire Detonator: This detonator may be attached to up to 3 taut hair-thin wires, each up to 50 ft. long. It is triggered by any pressure over 2 lbs. This detonator can also be set to detonate when the set weight is remove.
Detonating ("Det") Cord: This flexible explosive consists of PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) encased in flexible 1/4-inch plastic cord. It is commonly used to trigger other explosives and may be woven like rope, supporting up to 175 lbs. The entry listed is for 25 feet. Table: Detonators Name Size Weight WP cost Restriction

Armor comes in three different types: Impromptu, Concealable, and Tactical
Impromptu armor includes items that provide protection even though they were not designed for that purpose, such as leather biker’s jackets and football pads.
Concealable armor is modern body armor designed to fit underneath regular clothing. It can be worn for extended periods of time without fatiguing the wearer. Concealable armor can also be worn under Impromptu or Tactical armor.
Tactical armor is modern body armor that fits over clothing and can’t be easily concealed. Its weight and bulk make it impractical to wear all the time, and it’s generally only donned when a specific dangerous confrontation is likely. Because it’s worn over clothing in tactical situations, tactical armor often has pockets, clips, and MOLLE attachment points for carrying weapons, grenades, ammunition, flashlights, first aid kits, and other items.
Equipment Bonus The Equipment bonus is the bonus to Defense a character gets if they are proficient in the armor.
Maximum Agility Bonus The maximum Agility Bonus you can apply toward your defense, when wearing the armor.
Armor Penalty This penalty applies to the following skills if the character isn't proficient in the worn armor: Acrobatics, Athletics, Craft(All), Demolitions, Disable Device, Drive, Perform, Pilot, Ride and Stealth . If a character is proficient in the armor, the penalty only applies to Athletics, Acrobatics, and Stealth
Combat Point Loss How much the armor slows a character down, when wearing it. The character has to spend this amount of Combat Points from their Combat Point pool before they can move.
Wealth Point Cost How much the armor cost.
Damage Reduction This is represented on how much damage the armor negates, and what type of damage is compatible
Armor Points and Protection
Armor points are a representation of how much damage armor can take. When armor protects a character from damage using it's damage reduction, it subtracts the damage done from its AP score. Armor points are only subtracted to applicable damage.(Example: Only Slashing damage will affect the Armor Score of a Motorcycle Jacket ) Armor can be repaired at 1 WP per Armor point.
Armor only protects against certain types of damage. If a character is attacked and his armor does not cover the certain type of damage, the Damage Reduction for the armor does not apply, and they take damage to their hit points. Light Armor
Light Football pads: This suit of armor is worn by professional and amateur players alike, and includes shoulder, leg, and arm pads. This armor protects against bludgeoning damage. This type is normally worn by Running backs and Quarterbacks, sacrificing extra armor for range of motion.
Motorcycle Jacket: This is the bare minimum for the modern motorcyclist, consisting of leather gloves and a leather motorcycle jacket. This armor protects against slashing damage.
Light Undercover Shirt: Designed for deep undercover work where the user must not appear to be armed or armored, this garment consist of a t-shirt with a band of Kevlar sewn in around the torso. This armor protects against ballistic damage.
Flak Vest: A Flak vest is a light vest worn by aircraft personnel to protect against flak cannons, but can also be used to protect against grenades. It protects against slashing damage.
Low-Profile Armor: This set of body armor is visually indistinguishable from a common vest, sweater, pullover, suit coat, or jacket. It is often used by employees of corporations, particularly those employed as security or bodyguard personnel. This armor protects against ballistic damage.
Under Cover Vest: Covering a larger area of the torso, this vest provides better protection than the light undercover shirt and Low-Profile Armor but it’s also more easily noticed. It’s best used when the armor should remain unseen but the wearer doesn’t expect to face much scrutiny, granting a +2 bonus to stealth checks to hide the armor.
Turnout Coat: This fireman's coat is made of a thick, flame resistant and waterproof material. Protects against piercing, slashing, and fire damage.

Location dramatically affects a home’s value. The given Wealth Point cost assumes a typical suburban location. An undesirable location, such as a bad neighborhood or a remote rural site, reduces the Wealth point cost by 10%, rounded up. A particularly good location in an upscale neighborhood or city center increases the wealth point cost by 15%, rounded up.

Bail Bonds and Legal Services Characters jailed for crimes can seek bail. Bail is a monetary guarantee that the suspect will show up for his trial. The bail amount is set by a judge or magistrate, sometimes immediately following arrest (for minor crimes) and sometimes days later (for serious crimes). If bail is granted, a character can arrange for a bail bond, a loan that covers bail. The Wealth Point costs represent the fees associated with the loan; the bond itself is paid back to the bond agency when the hero shows up for trial. If the hero fails to show up, the agency loses the bail loan, and may send bounty hunters or other thugs after the character.
Bail amounts vary dramatically, depending on the seriousness of the crime, the suspect’s criminal history, their role in society, their family life, and other factors the judge believes indicate that the character will or will not flee (or commit other crimes) before the trial. An upstanding citizen with a good job and a family who has never before been charged with a crime gets minimal bail; a career criminal with nothing to lose receives maximum bail or may not be granted bail at all. The Wealth Point cost shown assume the suspect is viewed positively by the court. If not, increase the Wealth Point cost by as much as 25%, rounded up. Whatever the base wealth Point cost, a successful Presence check (DC 15) by the suspect reduces the purchase 10%, rounded up. Civil Crime: This crime involved civil matters, no one was threatened or hurt physically as a part of the crime.
Property Crime: The crime involved only the destruction of property; no one was attacked or seriously hurt as part of the crime.
Assault Crime: The crime involved an attack intended to capture, kill, or seriously injure the victim.
Death Crime: Someone died as a result of the crime.
Medical Services A character’s medical insurance is built into their Salary; the Wealth Point cost represent the ancillary expenses not covered, or only partly covered, by insurance. Medical services must be paid for in full regardless of whether they are successful. See the Treat Injury skill for more information on the medical services described below. In a hospital setting, the necessary treat Injury checks are always successful. The Wealth Point cost is per check.
Long-Term Care: The Wealth Point cost represents treatment for regaining hit points or ability score points more quickly than normal on a given day.
Restore Hit Points: The Wealth Point cost represents treatment for hit point damage from wounds or injuries on a given day.
Surgery: The Wealth Point cost represents the cost of a single surgical procedure.
Poison/Disease: The Wealth Point cost represents one application of treatment for a poison or disease.

Crew: The standard number of crew. In most cases, only one person is needed to drive the vehicle; other crew members serve as gunners or copilots.
Passengers: The number of passengers (in addition to the crew) the vehicle is designed to carry. Vehicles that carry passengers can use that space to carry additional cargo when passengers aren’t present. Each unused passenger slot allows the vehicle to carry an additional 100 pounds of cargo.
Cargo Capacity: The amount of cargo the vehicle is designed to carry. Many vehicles can carry extra passengers instead of cargo, but doing so is usually a cramped, uncomfortable, and often unsafe experience for those passengers. As a rule of thumb, one additional passenger can be carried for each 200 pounds of unused cargo capacity.
Initiative: The modifier added to the driver’s or pilot’s initiative check when operating the vehicle.
Maneuver: The modifier added to any Drive or Pilot checks attempted with the vehicle.
Top Speed: The highest speed category the vehicle can reach.

Mid-Sized SUV A Midsized SUV is a large SUV, complete with good cargo space and ample room for passengers. Examples include the Ford Edge, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Volkswagen Touareg. Midsized SUVs are 15 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Full Sized SUV A Full sized SUV is the largest of SUVs, usually including a large amount of cargo room and passenger space. Examples include the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban and the Ford Explorer: Full Sized SUVs are 20 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Standard Motorcycle Classifications Unlike getting into a vehicle, mounting a motorcycle cost 1 Combat Point. Motorcycles tend to perform better than automobiles in the terms of acceleration and maneuverability, but they provide no cover to their occupants. All motorcycles are 10 ft long and 5ft wide.
Standard Motorcycle A standard bike is a general use motorcycle, with a natural posture and are often used as general purpose street bikes. They have good speed and good handling. Examples include the Suzuki GS500E and a Honda Hornet 599.
Cruiser Motorcycle These bikes are styled after American Machines from the 1930s to the 1960s, with a relaxed posture, extended handle bars, and lots of torque and power. Examples include various Harley-Davidsons, Indians and Excelsior- Hendersons.
Sport Bikes: These bikes emphasize speed, acceleration, braking and cornering on paved roads, made for racing and flash. Examples include the Kawaski Ninja and the Suzuki GSX.
Touring Bikes Touring bikes arebBikes designed for long distance riding, offer good weather and wind protecton, as well as large capacity fuel tanks and expansive luggage. Examples include the BMW R1200RT and K1600GL, and the Honda Gold Wing. Dual Sport Dual sport bikes are dirtbikes that have street legal tires, mirrors, lights and signals, horn, muffler, and fairings. These bikes are built for dual purpose and have the ability to drive off road, as well as on road with no issues. Examples include the Honda XRV series, the Yamaha XT series and the Kawasaki KLR series.
Dirtbikes Dirtbikes are off-road motorcycles used primarily for recreation, and not usually ridden on roads. They lack the necissary fairings, mirrors, or lights to be driven safely on roads, and the tires are usually knobby and built for dirt. Examples include the Yamaha YZ250F and Suzuki DRZ70
Standard Rotary Aircraft A rotary-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air flying machine that uses lift generated by wings, called rotary wings or rotor blades, that revolve around a mast, also called helicopters.
Utility Helicopter This is a general all purpose helicopter, that has an average range, decent maneuverability, which can fulfill a various set of roles. Examples include the Bell JetRanger. It is 40 ft long and 15 ft wide.

Military Jet Aircraft: These aircraft are jet aircraft built for military specifications. They are equipped with a single heavy machine gun and have 6 external and 2 internal hardpoints for rockets, missiles or guns. Examples include the F/A-18, the F16, and the F-15. Other Vehicles A few types of vehicles don’t fit neatly into the categories covered above. Many of these (such as the armored truck and the limousine) are usually custom built, so the model name isn’t specified as it is with most other vehicles in this section. The description and stats reflect a typical model.
Moving Truck: This is a large cargo truck used to move furniture or deliver freight. Trucks of this sort are often available as rentals. It provides three-quarters cover for occupants in the cab and full cover for any in the back. It Is 25 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Bus: This is a large vehicle for transporting large amounts of people. It has a door at the front and a second door about halfway down the right-hand side or a door at the rear. This vehicle is two squares wide and eight squares long. It provides three-quarters cover for crew and passengers. It is 40 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Armored Truck: Used to transport money between businesses and financial institutions, armored trucks are designed to deter would-be thieves. The truck has three doors and firing ports that allow the crew to use their firearms without leaving the vehicle. The armored truck is two squares wide and four squares long. It provides nine-tenths cover for its occupants. It is equipped with Run-flats. It Is 20 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Military and Police Vehicles Several military and police vehicles are covered here. In addition, a number of the standard vehicles covered above are commonly seen in military and police service.
Armored Personnel Carriers Armored Personnel carriers are vehicles designed to carry troops into various conflicts and protect them from small arms fire. Some are equipped with a full turret mounted General Purpose Machinegun, while others are unarmed, usually those in police roles. APCs provide full cover for all of the occupants and the driver, and three-quarters cover for the gunner, if applicable. It takes 12 Combat Rounds to enter the driver or gunner seat of an APC and another 12 Combat Points to start it moving. It takes 4 Combat Points to Enter the passenger seat of an APC. Examples include the M113,the BMP-2 the Lenco Bearcat and the Cougar. APCs are 20 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Infantry Fighting vehicles are vehicles designed to carry troops into battle and support them. They differ themselves from APCs by the weaponry they carry, built for more heavy fighting. They have a 30mm cannon and a secondary machinegun, mounted on the same axis as the 30mm cannon. IFVs provide full cover for all of the occupants, the driver and the gunner. It takes 12 Combat Rounds to enter the driver or gunner seat of an IFV and another 12 Combat Points to start it moving. It takes 4 Combat Points to Enter the passenger seat of an IFV. Examples include the BMP-3 and the M1126 ICV Stryker. APCs are 20 ft long and 10 ft wide. IFVs are 25 ft long and 15 ft wide.
Main battle tank A Main battle tank is a tank that fills the heavy direct fire role and the secondary infantry and IFV support. Examples include the M1 Abrams and the T90. Main battle tanks have a Tank Gun, a General Purpose machine gun mounted on the same axis as the Tank Gun, and a secondary Machine gun of it's choice. MBTs are 40 ft long and 15 ft wide. Multi-use Vehicle A Mult-use vehicle is a vehicle that is used when armored transport is not necessary, or would cause too much attraction. This version can be configured in a variety of ways, including a two-door pickup, a four-door pickup with a short bed, and a completely enclosed, SUV-like body with a hatchback and four doors, and a Heavy Machine Gun mount on the top. This position proved one-half cover. When the MUV is configured with the machine gun, it has one less passenger, and one more additional crew. It is equipped with Run flat tires. A MUV is 20 ft long and 10 ft wide.
Other Transportation Horses A horse is a single hooved, quadrupedal mammal that has been domesticated for work and riding. There are many different breeds of horses, the one listed representing the average work horse. The cost listed includes two saddle bags, and a saddle. Unlike other vehicles, horses die if their hit points reach zero, and they can be healed using the first aid skill. Mounting a horse cost 3 Combat Points Table: Vehicles Wealth Name Crew Pass Cargo Init Maneuver Top Speed Defense Hardness Hit Points Size Point Cost Standard Car Categories Toy Car 1 0 0 lb. -3 0 Alley 12 0 25 M 12 Microcar 1 1 50 lb. -2 -1 Street 9 3 40 L 180 Compact Car 1 3 125 lb. -2 -2 Highway 8 5 45 H 200 Mid-sized Car 1 4 145 lb. -2 -2 Highway 8 5 45 H 450 Entry Level Luxury Car 1 4 190 b. -1 -2 Highway 8 5 48 H 1100 Full Size Car 1 4 225 lb. -1 -3 Highway 7 5 50 H 750 Full Size Luxury Car 1 4 235 lb. -1 -3 Highway 7 5 55 H 2000 Sports Car Categories Grand Tourer Car 1 1 50 lb. +2 0 All Out 7 3 40 H 5000 Supercar 1 1 75 lb. +1 0 All Out 7 3 55 H 8000 Muscle Car 1 1 250 lb. +1 -2 All Out 7 5 62 H 1800 Standard Van Categories Multi-purpose Van 1 7 280 lb. -1 -2 Highway 7 6 55 H 400 Cargo Van 1 1 2,800 lb. 0 -2 Highway 6 6 48 H 500 Passenger Van 1 12 250 lb. -2 -2 Street 6 6 46 G 650 Standard Truck Categories Mini Pickup Truck 1 1 1,200 lb. -1 -1 Highway 8 5 38 L 220 Mid-sized Pickup Truck 1 2 1,600 lb. -1 -2 Highway 8 5 45 H 310 Full Sized Pickup Truck 1 3 2,000 lb. -1 -2 Highway 7 5 60 H 380 Heavy Duty Pickup Truck 1 4 2,500 lb. -2 -3 Highway 7 5 70 G 420 Standard SUV Categories Mini SUV 1 3 280 lb. -1 -1 Highway 7 5 50 L 220 Compact SUV 1 4 320 lb. -1 -2 Highway 7 5 60 H 310 Mid-sized SUV 1 4 430 lb. -1 -2 Highway 6 5 70 H 380 Full Sized SUV 1 5 650 lb. -2 -3 Highway 6 5 80 G 420 Standard Motorcycle Categories Standard Bike 1 1 100 lb. +2 +2 Highway 10 2 25 M 500 Cruiser Bike 1 1 150 lb. +1 +1 Highway 9 2 45 M 700 Sport Bike 1 1 0 lb. +3 +3 All Out 10 2 26 M 725 Touring Bike 1 1 300 lb. +1 +2 Highway 8 2 28 M 800 Dual Sport 1 1 50 lb. +1 +2 Highway 10 2 25 M 650 Dirt Bike 1 0 0 lb. 0 +4 Street 11 0 19 M 250 Standard Rotary Aircraft Categories Utility Helicopter 2 3 250 lb. -3 -4 All Out 4 5 45 G 8750 Gunship Helicopter 2 0 50 lb. -2 -3 All Out 5 15 60 G 12000 Transport Helicopter 2 5 3,000 lb. -4 -4 All Out 4 5 50 G 9000 Standard Fixed Wing Aircraft Standard Prop Aircraft 2 2 150 lb. -6 0 All Out 3 5 23 C 7000 Military Prop Aircraft 1 0 0 lb. -6 0 All Out 3 12 40 C 11000 Standard Jet Aircraft 2 8 500 lb. -5 -2 All Out 2 5 25 C 150000 Military Jet Aircraft 2 0 0 lb. -5 -2 All Out 2 18 60 C 300000 Other Vehicles Moving truck 1 2 33,000 lb. -4 -4 Avenue 6 5 44 G 400 Bus 1 39 50,000 lb. -4 -4 Avenue 6 5 48 G 5000 Armored truck 2 0 3,600 lb. -2 -2 Street 8 10 36 H 520 Military and Police Vehicles Armored Personnel Carrier 2 8 250 lb. -3 -3 Street 6 20 60 H 6000 Infantry fighting Vehicle 2 8 280 lb. -4 -3 Street 6 25 65 H 12000 Main Battle Tank 4 0 50 lb. -6 -4 Avenue 2 45 80 G 100000 Multi-Use Vehicle MUV 2-Door Pickup 1 1 1,800 lb. -2 -2 Street 7 10 55 H 5000 MUV 4-Door Pickup 1 3 1000 lb. -2 -2 Street 7 10 55 H 5000 MUV SUV without Gun 1 4 250 lb. -2 -2 Street 7 10 55 H 5000 MUV SUV with Gun 2 3 100 lb. -2 -2 Street 7 10 55 H 5000 Other Transportation Horse(Animal) 1 1 100 lb. +1 +2 Cruising 12 0 25 L 250 Table: Vehicle Weapons Weapon Damage Critical Damage Range Rate of Magazine Size Weight Wealth Restriction Type Increment Fire Point Cost Cannons (require the Exotic Firearms Proficiency [cannons] feat to use) 30mm Cannon 16d12 16-18 Ballistic 300 ft.

Combat is played out in rounds, and in each round everybody acts in turn in a regular cycle. Combat usually runs in the following way.
1. The GM determines which characters are aware of their opponents at the start of the battle. If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. The combatants who are aware of their opponents can act in the surprise round, so they roll for initiative. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each spend half of their Combat Points. Combatants who were unaware don’t get to act in the surprise round. If no one or everyone starts the battle aware, there is no surprise round. 2. Combatants who have not yet rolled initiative do so. All combatants are now ready to begin their first regular round. 3. Combatants act in initiative order. 4. When everyone has had a turn, the combatant with the highest initiative acts again, and steps 2 and 3 repeats until combat ends.
Combat Statistics This section summarizes the fundamental combat statistics.
Attack Roll An attack roll represents a character’s attempts to strike an opponent on the character’s turn in a round. When a character makes an attack roll, they roll 3d6 and adds their attack bonus. If the result beats the target’s Defense, the character hits and deals damage. Many modifiers can affect the attack roll.
Scaling Damage and the Attack Roll The attack roll represents how well, or accurate, the strike was against a target. When a character does exceptionally well, the character can impart more damage on the target. For every 4 points the attacking character beats the target's defense, the character gains a +1 to damage. The damage applied is the same type as the original damage, or in the case of two damages, the highest damage.
A natural 3 (the 3d6 comes up 3) on the attack roll is always a miss. A natural 18 (the 3d6 comes up 18) is always a hit. A natural 18 is also always a possible critical strike, unless stated otherwise. If the character is not proficient in the weapon they are attacking with (the character doesn’t have the appropriate Weapon Proficiency feat), that character takes a -4 penalty on the attack roll.
Attack Bonus A character’s attack bonus with a melee weapon is: Base attack bonus + Strength Focus modifier + size modifier
With a ranged weapon, a character’s attack bonus is: Base attack bonus + Dexterity Marksmanship modifier + range penalty + size modifier
Strength Modifier Focus in Strength helps a character swing a weapon harder and faster, so a character’s Focus modifier applies to melee attack rolls. Size Modifier Creature size categories are defined differently from the size categories for weapons and other objects. Since this size modifier applies to Defense against a melee weapon attack or a ranged weapon attack, two creatures of the same size strike each other normally, regardless of what size they actually are. Creature sizes are compatible with vehicle sizes.
Dexterity Modifier Marksmanship in Dexterity measures coordination and steadiness, so a character’s Dexterity Marksmanship modifier applies when the character attacks with a ranged weapon.
Range Increment and the Range Penalty The range penalty for a ranged weapon depends on what weapon the character is using and how far away the target is. All ranged weapons and thrown weapons have a range increment (see various firearms tables, Table:Ranged and Thrown Weapons, Table: Simple Weapons, Table: Explosives and Table:Exotic Weapons ). Any attack from a distance of less than one range increment is not penalized for range. However, each full range increment causes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll. When a weapon uses shotgun shells, the range increment affects both it's attack roll and it's damage roll, providing a cumulative-2 penalty for each. A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments. Ranged weapons that fire projectiles can shoot up to ten increments.
Damage When a character hits with a weapon, they deal damage according to the type of weapon. Effects that modify weapon damage also apply to unarmed strikes and the natural physical attack forms of creatures. Damage is deducted from the target’s current hit points.
Weapons with multiple damages that appear with a slash provide the listed damages at the same time. Weapons with multiple damage without the slash can apply one of the damages, at the discretion of the attacker. The type of damage must be declared before the attack.
Minimum Weapon Damage If penalties to damage bring the damage result below 1, a hit still deals 1 point of damage.
Strength Bonus When a character hits with a melee weapon or thrown weapon, add their Strength Power modifier to the damage.
Off-Hand Weapon: When a character deals damage with a weapon in their off hand, add only half of the character’s Strength Power bonus.
Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed: When a character deals damage with a weapon that they are wielding two- handed, add 1.5 times the character’s Strength Power bonus. However, the character doesn’t get this higher Strength Power bonus when using a light weapon two-handed; in such a case, only the character’s normal Strength Power bonus applies to the damage roll.
Multiplying Damage Sometimes damage is multiplied by some factor. Roll the damage (with all modifiers) multiple times and total the results. Critical Strike When a character makes an attack roll and receives a natural 18 (the 3d6 shows 18), the character hits regardless of the target’s Defense, and the character has scored a threat of a critical strike. To find out if it is actually a critical strike, the character immediately makes another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll that scored the threat. If the second roll also results in a hit against the target’s Defense, the attack is a critical strike. (The second roll just needs to hit to confirm a critical strike; the character doesn’t need to roll a second 18.) If the second roll is a miss, then the attack just deals the damage of a regular hit.
A critical strike immediately targets a character's Core hit points, regardless of if they have any Extended Hit points remaining. If a character has no extended Hit points remaining, then the damage done by the attack is multiplied by 1.5, rounded up. Some weapons have expanded threat ranges, making a critical strike more likely. However, even with these weapons, only an 18 is an automatic hit. The Critical column indicates the threat range for each weapon on the tables. Objects (including vehicles) and some types of creatures are immune to critical strikes. An 18 is always a successful hit, but it does not affect the Core Hit points. All firearms have a critical range of 16-18.
Defense A character’s Defense represents how hard it is for opponents to land a solid, damaging blow on the character. It’s the attack roll result that an opponent needs to achieve to hit the character. The average, unarmored civilian has a Defense of 10. A character’s Defense is equal to: 10 +Dexterity Agility modifier + Equipment bonus + Size modifier + Movement Modifier + Misc modifiers
Agility Modifier If a character’s agility is high, they are particularly adept at dodging blows or gunfire. If a character’s agility is low, they are particularly inept at it. Characters apply their Dexterity Agility modifier to Defense. Sometimes a character can’t use their Dexterity bonus. If a character can’t react to a blow, that character can’t use their Dexterity Agility bonus to Defense.
Equipment Bonus If a character wears armor, and is proficient in wearing armor, it provides a bonus to their Defense. This bonus represents the armor’s ability to protect the character from blows. Armor provides Damage Reduction to anyone who wears it, but a character who is proficient in the use of a certain type of armor receives the bonus to Defense. Sometimes a character can’t use their equipment bonus to Defense. If an attack will damage the character just by touching him or her, that character can’t add their equipment bonus (see Touch Attacks, below).
Size Modifier The bigger an opponent is, the easier it is to hit in combat. The smaller it is, the harder it is to hit. Since this same modifier applies to attack rolls a creature doesn’t have a hard time attacking another creature of the same size. Size modifiers are shown on Table: Size Modifiers.
Table: Size Modifiers Size Size Modifier Colossal -8 Gargantuan -4 Huge -2 Large -1 Medium +0 Small +1 Tiny +2 Diminutive +4 Fine +8
Movement Modifier When a combatant moves during combat, they become harder to hit. For every 10 feet beyond the first 30 feet a character moves, they gain a +1 to their Defense until their next turn.
Other Modifiers
Other factors can add to a character’s Defense.
Feats: Some feats give a bonus to a character’s Defense.
Natural Armor: Some creatures have natural armor, which usually consists of scales, fur, or layers of thick muscle.
Dodge Bonuses: Some other Defense bonuses represent actively avoiding blows. These bonuses are called dodge bonuses. Any situation that denies a character their Dexterity bonus also denies their dodge bonuses. Unlike most sorts of bonuses, dodge bonuses stack with each other.
Touch Attacks Some attacks disregard armor. In these cases, the attacker makes a touch attack roll (either a ranged touch attack roll or a melee touch attack roll). The attacker makes their attack roll as normal, but a character’s Defense does not include any equipment bonus or armor bonus. All other modifiers, such as Agility modifier, Size modifier and Movement Modifier, apply normally.
Injury and Death
There are two types of Hit points, Core and Extended. Core hit points measure how much true physical damage a character can take, and Extended hit points measure a character's ability to turn a more serious hit into a graze or glancing blow. A Character's Extended hit points are always deducted first, unless a character takes a critical strike.
Effects of Hit Point Damage At 0 Extended hit points from non-lethal damage, a character is knocked unconscious. At 0 Core hit points, a character is disabled. At from -1 to -9 Core hit points, a character is dying. At -10 or lower Core hit points, a character is dead.
Nonlethal Damage Nonlethal damage is dealt by unarmed attackers and some weapons. Melee weapons that deal lethal damage can be wielded so as to deal nonlethal damage, but the attacker takes a -4 penalty on attack rolls for trying to deal nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. A ranged weapon that deals lethal damage can’t be made to deal nonlethal damage (unless it is used as an improvised melee weapon).
Nonlethal damage affects the target’s Extended Hit Points only. If the nonlethal damage equals or exceeds the Extended hit point score, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15). If the target succeeds on the save, the target is dazed for 1 round, and they fall to 1 Extended hit point. If the target fails, they are knocked unconscious for 1d4+1 rounds. If the non-lethal damage equals or exceeds half or more of the target's current Core hit points, the target must make a Fortitude save(DC18). If the target fails the save, they are stunned for 1d4 rounds.
Bleeding When a character takes more than 3 points of slashing, piercing, bludgeoning or ballistic damage to their Core HP the character is now bleeding. When a character is bleeding, they lose health at the rate of 1d3 per 3 points of damage taken, per round. This damage stacks for every wound hit.(For example, if a character already has 1d3 bleed damage on them, and they take 5 damage, they now bleed at 2d3 per round.) Bleed damage is accounted for after the player has finished their turn. In order to stop bleeding, they must receive first aid (Treat Injury DC10) This is a temporary fix, and last 5d4 minutes. In order to fully cure bleeding, a character must undergo Surgery(Treat Injury DC25). A character also takes a penalty to attack, based on how many bleed damage dice they have(A character with 1d3 bleed damage would take a -1 attack penalty, while a character with 3d3 bleed damage would take a -3 attack penalty).
Extremity Damage If a character is hit anywhere during a called shot attack with a piercing, bludgeoning, slashing or ballistic weapon, and that weapon does more than 3 points of damage to that extremity, then the character takes Extremity damage. A character can both bleed and take extremity damage.
If the character is hit in the arm, they take a -6 penalty to any skill or ability check, using that arm. If the character is hit in the hand, they take a -12 penalty to any skill or ability check using that hand, and cannot use weapons in that hand. If the Character is hit in the leg, the Combat Point cost to move is doubled. If both legs are hit, they drop prone, can only spend enough Combat Points to move 5 ft every round, and cannot pick themselves up. If the character is hit in the foot, they Combat Point Cost to Move is Tripled . If both feet are hit, they drop prone, can only spend enough Combat Points to move 5 ft every round, and cannot pick themselves up. If a character is hit in the head, they are stunned for 1d3 rounds. This damage does not heal as normal, and requires surgery and a good term of rest.
Disabled (0 Hit Points) When a character’s current Core hit points drop to exactly 0, the character is disabled. The character is not unconscious, but they are close to it. The character can only spend 4 Combat Points. If the character attacks or perform any other action the GM deems as strenuous, the character takes 1 point of Core damage after completing the act. Unless the activity increased the character’s hit points, the character is now at -1 hit points, and is dying. Healing that raises the character above 0 hit points makes him or her fully functional again, just as if the character had never been reduced to 0 or lower. A character can also become disabled when recovering from dying. In this case, it’s a step up along the road to recovery, and the character can have fewer than 0 hit points (see Stable Characters and Recovery).
Dying (-1 to -9 Hit Points) When a character’s current Core hit points drop below 0, the character is dying. A dying character has a current hit point total between -1 and -9 inclusive. A dying character immediately falls unconscious and can take no actions. A dying character loses 1 hit point every round. This continues until the character dies or becomes stable naturally or with help (see below).
Dead (-10 hit points or lower) When a character’s current hit points drop to -10 or lower, they are dead. A character can also die if their Constitution is reduced to 0. Stable Characters and Recovery A dying character (one with -1 to -9 hit points) is unconscious and loses 1 hit point every round until they become stable or dies.
Recovering without Help Each round, a dying character makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 20). If the save fails, the character loses 1 hit point and must make another save on their turn the next round. If the save succeeds, the character becomes stable. A stable character stops losing hit points every round, but remains unconscious. If no one tends to the stable character (see below), they remain unconscious for 1 hour, at which point they make a Fortitude save (DC 20). If the save succeeds, the stable character regains consciousness, becoming disabled (see above). The character’s current hit point total remains where it is, however, even though it’s negative. If the save fails, the character remains unconscious. An unaided stable, conscious character who has negative hit points (and is disabled) doesn’t heal naturally. Instead, each day the character makes a Fortitude save (DC 20) to start recovering hit points naturally that day; if the save fails, they lose 1 hit point. Once an unaided character starts recovering hit points naturally, the character is no longer in danger of losing additional hit points (even if their current hit point total is still negative).
Recovering with Help A dying character can be made stable by the use of the Treat Injury skill (DC 15). One hour after a tended, dying character becomes stable, they make a Fortitude save (DC 20) to regain consciousness. If successful, the character becomes disabled (see above). If the character remains unconscious, they make the same Fortitude save every hour until they become conscious. Even while unconscious, the character recovers hit points naturally, and they can return to normal activity when their hit points rise to 1 or higher.
Healing After taking damage, a character can recover hit points through natural healing (over the course of days) or through medical technology (somewhat faster). In any case, a character can’t regain hit points past their full normal total. A character's Core Hit points heal first, and then their extended hit points.
Natural Healing A character recovers 1 hit point per level per evening of rest (8 hours of sleep). A character undergoing complete bed rest (doing nothing for an entire day) recovers 2 hit points per character level.
Healing Ability Damage Ability damage returns at the rate of 1 point per evening of rest (8 hours of sleep). Complete bed rest (24 hours) restores 2 points per day.
Extremity Wounds If the character is hit in the arm, they take a -6 penalty to any skill or ability check, using that arm. If the character is hit in the hand, they take a -12 penalty to any skill or ability check using that hand, and cannot use weapons in that hand. If the Character is hit in the leg, the Combat Point cost to move is doubled. If both legs are hit, they drop prone, can only spend enough Combat Points to move 5 ft every round, and cannot pick themselves up. If the character is hit in the foot, they Combat Point Cost to Move is Tripled . If both feet are hit, they drop prone, can only spend enough Combat Points to move 5 ft every round, and cannot pick themselves up. These penalties and the damage stay until the character undergoes successful surgery, and receives at least two weeks of long term care.
Recovering from Extremity Wounds. When a character is hit in the extremity, they lose all ability to use that extremity successfully. A character recovering from extremity damage needs at least two weeks of long term care to be partially functional. For every two weeks beyond the initial two weeks of rest, the character recovers two hit points that were lost by being hit in an extremity.
Temporary Hit Points Certain effects can give a character temporary hit points. When a character gains temporary hit points, make a note of their current hit points before adding the temporary hit points. When the temporary hit points go away, the character’s hit points drop to that score. If the character’s hit points are already below that score at that time, all the temporary hit points have already been lost, and the character’s hit point total does not drop. When temporary hit points are lost, they can’t be restored as real hit points can be, even with medical treatment.
Increases in Constitution Score and Current Hit Points An increase in a character’s Constitution score, even a temporary one, can give the character more Core and Extended hit points (an effective hit point increase), but these are not temporary hit points. They can be restored through normal healing. When a character’s Constitution drops back down to its previous score after a temporary increase, the character’s full normal hit points go down accordingly.
Combat Points A characters Combat Point score determines how many actions a character can perform during their turn. A character can perform as many actions as they have combat points. Any combat points left over do not cycle over between rounds. Every Character has 15 Combat Points to spend per round
Saving Throws Generally, when a character is subject to an unusual attack, they receive a saving throw to avoid or reduce the effect. A saving throw is a 3d6 roll plus a bonus based on the character’s archetype and level (the character’s base save bonus) and an ability modifier. A natural 3 (the 3d6 comes up 3) on a saving throw is always a failure. A natural 18 (the 3d6 comes up 18) is always a success.
A character’s saving throw bonus is: Base save bonus + ability modifier + misc modifiers The Difficulty Class for a save is determined by the attack itself.
Saving Throw Types The three different kinds of saving throws are:
Fortitude: These saves measure a character’s ability to stand up to massive physical punishment or attacks against their vitality and health such as poison and paralysis. Apply a character’s Constitution modifier to their Fortitude saving throws.
Reflex: These saves test a character’s ability to dodge massive attacks such as explosions or car wrecks. (Often, when damage is inevitable, a character receives a Reflex saving throw to take only half damage.) Apply the character’s Dexterity Agility modifier to their Reflex saving throws. Will: These saves reflect a character’s resistance to mental influence and domination effects. Apply the character’s Wisdom modifier to their Will saving throws.
Initiative Every round, each combatant can do something. The combatants’ initiative checks, from highest to lowest, determine the order in which they act, from first to last.
Initiative Checks At the start of a battle, each combatant makes a single initiative check. An initiative check is a Dexterity check. Each character applies their Agility modifier to the roll, plus any modifiers. The GM finds out what order characters are acting in, counting down from highest result to lowest, and each character acts in turn. On all following rounds, the characters act in the same order (unless a character takes an action that results in their initiative changing; see Special Initiative Actions). If two or more combatants have the same initiative check result, the combatants who are tied go in order of total initiative modifier (including Dexterity modifier and Improved Initiative bonus, if applicable). If there is still a tie, the character with the highest Dexterity goes first. If there is still a tie, the characters who tie reroll for the position.
Joining a Battle If characters enter a battle after it has begun, they roll initiative at that time and act whenever their turn comes up in the existing order.
Surprise When a combat starts, if a character was not aware of their enemies and they were aware of the character, that character is surprised. Likewise, a character can surprise their enemies if the character knows about them before they’re aware of the character.
The Surprise Round If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. The combatants who are aware of the opponents can act in the surprise round, so they roll for initiative. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each can spend half of their Combat Points during the surprise round . If no one or everyone is surprised, a surprise round does not occur.
Unaware Combatants Combatants who are unaware at the start of battle do not get to act in the surprise round. Unaware combatants are flat-footed. Because of this, they lose any Dexterity bonus to Defense.
Actions in Combat The fundamental actions of moving and attacking cover most of what a character wants to do in a battle. They’re described here. Other, more specialized options are touched on in Table: Actions in Combat, and covered in Special Initiative Actions. The Combat Round Each round represents 6 seconds in the game world. A round is an opportunity for each character involved in a combat to take an action. Anything a person could reasonably do in 6 seconds, a character can do in 1 round. Each round’s activity begins with the character with the highest initiative result and then proceeds, in order, from there. Each round of a combat uses the same initiative order. When a character’s turn comes up in the initiative sequence, that character use their Combat Points to perform actions. (For exceptions, see Attacks of Opportunity and Special Initiative Actions.) For almost all purposes, there is no relevance to the end of a round or the beginning of a round. A round can be a segment of game time starting with the first character to act and ending with the last, but it usually means a span of time from a certain round to the same initiative number in the next round. Effects that last a certain number of rounds end just before the same initiative count that they began on.
Combat Points Combat points are a measurement of how much a character can do in a single round. A character may spend as many Combat Points as they possess, but once they spend all of their Combat Points, their turn is over.
Action Types The three types of actions are attack actions, move actions, and speak actions. In a normal round, a character can perform as many actions as they'd like, as long as they have enough Combat Points for all of their actions. In some situations (such as in the surprise round) a character may be limited to a certain amount of Combat Points they can spend.
Attack Action An attack action is an action where character attacks something. During a combat round, a character can make as many attacks as they have Combat Points to spend. A character can physically move some distance before or after performing an attack action.
Move Action A move action is an action where a character moves in some way. This includes running and walking, drawing or stowing a weapon or other object, standing up, sitting down,or picking up or manipulating an object,
Speak Action A speak action allows a character to convey information in the form of words, to those around him. A character can say 15 words during this action, and is usually spoken all the while he performs his actions.

No Action Attack of Opportunity1 Delay No Ready No 1 Regardless of the action, if a character moves out of a threatened square, the character usually provokes an attack of opportunity. This column indicates whether the action itself, not moving, provokes an attack of opportunity. 2 If the object is being held, carried, or worn by a creature, yes. If not, no. 3 If the character has the Two-Weapon Melee Fighting or Two-Weapon Ranged Fighting feat, they can draw two light or one-handed weapons in the Combat Point cost it would normally take to draw one. 4 These attack forms substitute for a melee attack, not an action. As melee attacks they can be used in a normal melee attack, or even as an attack of opportunity. 5 The description of a feat defines its effect. 6 The Attack of Opportunity happens after the original attack has been complete

Attack Actions Most common attack actions are described below. More specialized attack actions are mentioned in Table:Combat Actions, and covered in Special Attacks.
Melee Attacks With a normal melee weapon, a character can strike any enemy within 5 feet. (Enemies within 5 feet are considered adjacent to the character.) The Combat Point cost for a weapon is dependent on the size of the weapon.
Diminutive to Small Weapons: 3 Combat Points
Medium to Large Weapons: 4 Combat Points
Huge and larger: 5 Combat Points
Trip A character can try to trip an opponent, or otherwise knock him or her down, as an unarmed melee attack. A character can only trip an opponent who is one size category larger than the character, the same size, or smaller. Making a Trip Attack Make an unarmed melee touch attack against the target. Doing this provokes an attack of opportunity from the target as normal for unarmed attacks. If the attack succeeds, make a Strength check opposed by the target’s Dexterity check or Strength check (using whichever ability score has the higher modifier). If the character and the target are different sizes, the larger combatant receives a bonus on the Strength check of +4 per difference in size category. The target receives a +4 stability bonus on their check if they have more than two legs or is otherwise exceptionally stable. If the character wins, they trip the target. If the character loses, the target may immediately react and make a Strength check opposed by the character’s Dexterity check or Strength check to try to trip the character. Being Tripped (Prone) A tripped character is prone (see Table: Defense Modifiers). Standing up from a prone position cost 6 Combat Points.
Tripping with a Weapon Some weapons, such as the chain and the whip, can be used to make trip attacks. A character doesn’t incur an attack of opportunity when doing so. If the character is tripped during their own trip attempt, the character can drop the weapon to avoid being tripped.
Tripping Cost 12 Combat Points.
Disarm As a melee attack, a character may attempt to disarm their opponent. If the character does so with a weapon, they knock the opponent’s weapon out of their hands and to the ground. If the character attempt the disarm while unarmed, the character ends up with the weapon in their hand. If a character is attempting to disarm the wielder of a melee weapon, follow the steps outlined here. Disarming the wielder of a ranged weapon is slightly different; see below.
Step One: The character provokes an attack of opportunity from the target they are trying to disarm.
Step Two: The character and the target make opposed attack rolls with their respective weapons. If the weapons are different sizes, the combatant with the larger weapon receives a bonus on the attack roll of +4 per difference in size category. If the target is using a weapon in two hands, they get an additional +4 bonus. Also, if the combatants are different sizes, the larger combatant receives a bonus on the attack roll of +4 per difference in size category.
Step Three: If the character beats the target’s attack roll, the target is disarmed. If the character attempted the disarm action unarmed, they now have the weapon. If the character was armed, the target’s weapon is on the ground at the target’s feet. If the character fails the disarm attempt, the target may immediately react and attempt to disarm the character with the same sort of opposed melee attack roll. The opponent’s attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the character. If the opponent fails to disarm, the character does not get a free disarm attempt against the opponent.
Ranged Weapons To disarm an opponent wielding a ranged weapon, the character makes a melee attack or unarmed attack to strike the weapon in the opponent’s hand (see Attack an Object). If the weapon is held in two hands, it receives a +2 bonus to its Defense. If the character’s attack succeeds, the ranged weapon falls to the ground or winds up in the character’s hands (if the character made the attack unarmed). This kind of disarm attempt provokes an attack of opportunity, but if the character fails, the target does not get to make a disarm attempt against him or her.
Grabbing Objects A character can also use disarm to snatch away an object worn by a target. Doing this works the same as a disarm attempt (see above), except for the following.
Attack of Opportunity: If the target’s attack of opportunity inflicts any damage, the attempt to grab the object automatically fails.
Modifiers: If the object is well secured or otherwise difficult to grab from the target, the target receives a +4 bonus. On the other hand, if the object is poorly secured or otherwise easy to snatch or cut away, the attacker gets a +4 bonus. Failed Attempts: Failing an attempt to grab an object doesn’t allow the target to attempt to disarm the character.
Disarming cost 12 Combat Points
Fighting Defensively A character can choose to fight defensively while making a melee attack. If the character does so, they take a -4 penalty on their attack in a round to gain a +2 dodge bonus to Defense against all melee attacks in the same round.
Fighting Defensively adds a +1 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack.
Light Attack A character can choose to attack lightly when making a melee attack sacrificing hitting power for speed. If the character does so, they reduce the Combat Point Cost by 1, and take a -3 Damage penalty on the attack.
Light attacking subtracts a -1 Combat Point Cost from the melee attack.
Heavy Attack A character can choose to attack heavily, throwing more of their weight behind an attack. If the character does so, they increase the Combat Point cost by +2, and grant a +3 Damage Bonus to the Attack.
Heavy attacking adds a +2 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack.
Full Attack A character can choose to full attack, throwing nearly all of their weight behind an attack. If the character does so, they increase the Combat Point cost by +7. This attack provokes an attack of opportunity aginst all enemies within range, and grants 2 additional damage dice and a +4 bonus to damage.
Full Attacking adds a +7 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack.
Aggressive Attack A character can choose to attack aggressively, where their primary goal is to force the character to move instead of cause damage. If the attack is successful, the struck character must move to any adjacent space of their choosing that is not adjacent to their attacker. Moving like this does not provoke any attacks of Opportunity. The attack also suffers a -2 Attack Penalty.
Aggressive Attacking adds a +2 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack
Thrust Attack A character can choose to make a thrusting attack with a slashing weapon. When a character thrust a weapon, the weapon deals piercing damage instead of slashing damage, but takes a -2 damage penalty to the attack. Only swords and knives may use this attack.
Thrust Attacking adds a +1 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack
Swipe Attack A character can choose to make a swiping attack with a piercing weapon. When a character swipes a weapon, the weapon deals slashing damage instead of piercing damage, but takes a -2 damage penalty to the attack. Only spears and knives may use this attack.
Swipe Attacking adds a +1 Combat Point Cost to the melee attack Reaction A reaction is an action where a character prepares for an oncoming melee attack. A character has the choice of Parrying, Bracing, or Predicting an enemy's melee attack. The character declares which reaction they will prepare, and by what enemy, then ends their turn. If they are attacked by the selected enemy's melee attack, they roll a saving throw that corresponds with the action. The formula for the DC is Opposing Attack Roll – 5.
Parry: Parrying is a reaction where where a character uses their weapons, or their body, to glance off a blow. On a successful Reflex saving throw, the character is grated a +1 to their Defense per Reflex Saving Throw Score/2, rounded down. The bonus last for all melee attacks until the character's next turn.
Brace: Bracing is a reaction where a character prepares for the oncoming strike. On a successful Fortitude saving throw, the character is granted a damage reduction to a single type of damage, of 1 per Fortitude Saving Throw Score/2, rounded down. Bracing also stops a character who is attacking the character with an aggressive attack from moving. The bonus last for all melee attacks until the character's next turn.
Predict: Predicting is a reaction where a character anticipates an attack and follows through by striking back quickly. On a successful Will saving throw, the character gains one attack of opportunity against the attacking opponent per two attacks the opponent attempts, immediately after the opponent is done attacking.
Reacting cost 7 Combat Points.
Unarmed Attacks Striking for damage with punches, kicks, and head butts is much like attacking with a melee weapon, except that an unarmed attack deals nonlethal damage, and unarmed strikes use touch attack, instead of normal defense. Unarmed strikes count as light melee weapons (for purposes of two-weapon attack penalties and so on). The following exceptions to normal melee rules apply to unarmed attacks. An unarmed attack is considered an attack made with a small weapon.
Helpless Defenders A helpless foe, one who is bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise at the attacker’s mercy, is an easy target. A character can sometimes approach a target who is unaware of their presence, get adjacent to the target, and treat him or her as helpless. If the target is in combat or some other tense situation, and therefore in a state of acute awareness and readiness, or if the target can use their Dexterity bonus to Defense, then that target can’t be considered unaware. Further, any reasonable precaution taken by a target, including stationing bodyguards, placing their back to a wall, or being able to make Perception checks, also precludes catching that target unaware and helpless.
Regular Attack A helpless defender has an effective Defense of 5 + their size modifier. If a character is attacking with a ranged weapon and is not adjacent to the target, the character can attack as normal, and gain a +2 bonus on the attack roll. If the character is attacking with a melee weapon, or with a ranged weapon from an adjacent square, the character can attack as normal.
Coup de Grace As a full-round action, a character can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace to a helpless foe. A character can also use a ranged weapon, provided the character is adjacent to the target. The character automatically hits and score a critical strike. If the defender survives the damage, they still must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or die. Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening foes because it involves focused concentration and methodical action. A character can’t deliver a coup de grace against a creature that is immune to critical strikes. Delivering a Coup de Grace cost 12 Combat Points
Knockout Blow A character can make an unarmed attack or use a melee weapon that deals nonlethal damage to deliver a knockout blow to a helpless foe. A character can also use a melee weapon that deals lethal damage, but the character takes a -4 penalty on any attempt to deal nonlethal damage with the weapon. The target has an effective Defense of 5 + their size modifier. If the character hits, they automatically scores a critical strike (see Nonlethal Damage). Delivering a knockout blow provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening foes because it involves focused concentration and methodical action. A character can’t deliver a knockout blow against a creature that is immune to critical strikes.
Delivering a Knockout blow cost 12 Combat Points
Grapple Grappling means wrestling and struggling hand-to-hand. There are three stages to grappling: grabbing, holding, and pinning.
Grabbing Normally, a grab is just the first step to starting a grapple. If the character grabs an opponent, but fails to go on to hold him or her, the character doesn’t actually start a grapple. However, sometimes all a character wants to do is grab the target.
Holding Once a character has established a hold, they are involved in a grapple. From a hold, a character can attempt a number of actions, including damaging the opponent or pinning the opponent. A character can’t get a hold on any creature more than two size categories larger than the character. (However, such a creature can get a hold on the character, so while a character can’t initiate a grapple with a creature more than two size categories larger than, a character can still end up in one.)
Pinning Getting the opponent in a pin is often the goal of a grapple. A pinned character is held immobile.
Grapple Checks When a character is involved in a grapple, they will need to make opposed grapple checks against an opponent, often repeatedly. A grapple check is something like a melee attack roll. A character’s attack bonus on a grapple check :Base attack bonus + Focus modifier + Agility Modifier + grapple modifier
Grapple Modifier A creature’s size works in its favor when grappling, if that creature is Large or larger in size. Conversely, a creature of Small or smaller size is at a disadvantage because of its size when grappling. Instead of using a creature’s size modifier on a grapple check (as would be done for a melee or ranged attack roll), use the appropriate grapple modifier from Table: Grapple Modifiers. Table: Grapple Modifiers Size (Example) Grapple Modifier Colossal (blue whale [90 ft. long]) +16 Gargantuan (gray whale [40 ft. long]) +12 Huge (elephant) +8 Large (lion) +4 Medium-size (human) +0 Small (German shepherd) -4 Tiny (housecat) -8 Diminutive (rat) -12 Fine (horsefly) -16
Starting a Grapple To start a grapple, a character first needs to grab and hold their target. Attempting to start a grapple is the equivalent of making a melee attack. Follow these steps.
1. Attack of Opportunity: A character provokes an attack of opportunity from the target they are trying to grapple. If the attack of opportunity deals the character damage, the character fails to start the grapple. If the attack of opportunity misses or otherwise fails to deal damage, proceed to step 2.
2. Grab: The character makes a melee touch attack to grab the target. If the character fails to hit the target, the character fails to start the grapple. If the character succeeds, proceed to step 3.
3. Hold: Make an opposed grapple check. If the character succeeds, the character has started the grapple, and deals damage to the target as if with an unarmed strike. If the character loses, they fail to start the grapple. The character automatically loses an attempt to hold if the target is two or more size categories larger than the character is (but the character can still make an attempt to grab such a target, if that’s all they want to do).
4. Maintain the Grapple: To maintain the grapple for later rounds, the character must move into the target’s square. (This movement is free.) Moving, as normal, provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies, but not from the target. The character and the target are now grappling. If the character can’t move into the target’s square, the character can’t maintain the grapple and must immediately let go of the target. To grapple again, the character must begin at step 1. Grappling Consequences While a character is grappling, their ability to attack others and defend him or herself is limited.
No Threatened Squares: A character doesn’t threaten any squares while grappling.
No Dexterity Bonus: A character loses their Dexterity bonus to Defense (if the character has one) against opponents the character isn’t grappling. (The character can still use it against opponents they are grappling.)
No Movement: A character cannot move while held in a grapple.
If the Character is Grappling When a character is grappling (regardless of who started the grapple), they can attempt any of several actions on their turn. Unless otherwise noted, each of these options is equivalent to an attack. The character is limited to these options only; they cannot take any other actions. Damage the Opponent: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, they deal damage as with an unarmed strike.
Pin: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, they hold the opponent immobile for 1 round. The opponent takes a -4 penalty to Defense against all attacks from other people (but not from the character); however, the opponent is not considered helpless. A character can’t use a weapon on a pinned character or attempt to damage or pin a second opponent while holding a pin on the first. A pinned character can’t take any action except to attempt to escape from the pin. Escape from Grapple: Make an opposed grapple check. If the character succeeds, they can escape the grapple. If more than one opponent is grappling the character, the grapple check result has to beat all their check results to escape. (Opponents don’t have to try to hold a character if they don’t want to.) Alternatively, the character can make an Athletics check opposed by the opponent’s grapple check to escape from the grapple. This is an attack action that the character may only attempt once per round, even if the character receives multiple attacks. If the character has not used their move action for the round, the character may do so after escaping the grapple.
Escape from Pin: Make an opposed grapple check. If the character succeeds, they can escape from being pinned. (Opponents don’t have to try to keep the character pinned if they don’t want to.) The character is still being grappled, however. Alternatively, a character can make an Athletics check opposed by the opponent’s grapple check to escape from the pin. This is an attack action that the character may only attempt once per round, even if the character receives multiple attacks.
Break Another’s Pin: Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds, they can break the hold that an opponent has over an ally.
Draw a Light Weapon: A character can draw a light weapon for the normal Combat Point cost.
Attack with a Light Weapon: A character can attack with a light weapon while grappling (but not while pinned or pinning). A character can’t attack with two weapons while grappling.
If the Character is Pinned When an opponent has pinned the character, they are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. (the character can’t attempt any other action.) On the character’s turn, they can attempt to escape from the pin. If the character succeeds, they are still grappling.
Joining a Grapple If the target is already grappling someone else, a character can use an attack to start a grapple, as above, except that the target doesn’t get an attack of opportunity against the character, and the character’s grab automatically succeeds. The character still has to make a successful opposed grapple check and move in to be part of the grapple. If multiple enemies are already involved in the grapple, the character picks one against whom to make the opposed grapple check.
Multiple Grapplers Several combatants can be in a single grapple. Up to four combatants can grapple a single opponent in a given round. Creatures that are one size category smaller than the character count as one-half creature each; creatures that are one size category larger than the character count as two creatures; and creatures two or more size categories larger than the character count as four creatures. When involved in a grapple with multiple opponents, the character chooses one opponent to make an opposed check against. The exception is an attempt to escape from the grapple; to escape, a character’s grapple check must beat the check results of all opponents.
Attacks of Opportunity Making an unarmed attack against an armed opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from the character attacked. The attack of opportunity comes before the character’s attack. An unarmed attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity from other foes, nor does it provoke an attack of opportunity from an unarmed foe.
“”Armed Unarmed Attacks Sometimes a character or creature attacks unarmed but the attack still counts as armed. A creature with claws, fangs, and similar natural physical weapons, for example, counts as armed. Being armed counts for both offense and defense, not only does a creature not provoke an attack of opportunity when attacking an armed foe, but a character provokes an attack of opportunity from that creature if the character makes an unarmed attack against it. The Combat Martial Arts feat makes a character’s unarmed attacks count as armed. An “Armed” unarmed attack is considered an attack made with a small weapon.
Unarmed Strike Damage An unarmed strike from a Medium-size character deals 1d3 points (plus the character’s Power modifier, as normal) of nonlethal damage. A character can specify that their unarmed strike will deal lethal damage before the character makes their attack roll, but the character takes a -4 penalty on the attack roll because they have to strike a particularly vulnerable spot to deal lethal damage.
Ranged Attacks With a ranged weapon, a character can shoot or throw at any target that is within the ranged weapon’s maximum range and in line of sight. A target is in line of sight if there are no solid obstructions between the character and the target. The maximum range for a thrown weapon is five range increments. For weapons that fire projectiles, it is ten range increments.
Fire a Slingshot: 6 Combat Points
Fire a Crossbow or Speargun: 5 Combat Points
Fire a Flamethrower: 8 Combat Points
Fire Chemical Irritants: 4 Combat Points
Fire a Taser: 6 Combat Points
Fire a Ballistic Knife: 4 Combat Points
Firing a Whip: 3 Combat Points
Throwing a thrown weapon, splash weapon, or grenade: 5 Combat Points
Bows A bow can be pulled back and readied in three different strengths: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Light Pull The Light pull allows a character to fire their bow for 5 combat points, but at a -1 damage die, and the range of the bow is reduced by 5 ft.
Medium Pull The Medium pull allows a character to fire their bow for 6 Combat Points, with no bonuses or penalties to damage.
Heavy Pull A Heavy pull allows a character to fire their bow for 7 Combat Points, but provides a +1 damage die, and the bow's range is increased by 10 ft.
Firearms The most basic form of attack with a firearm is a single shot. One attack is one pull of the trigger and fires one bullet at one target. The Personal Firearms Proficiency feat allows a character to make this sort of attack without penalty. A Multi-shot attack is any attack that fires more than one bullet or shell. If a character isn’t proficient in personal firearms, they take a -4 penalty on attacks with that type of weapon. As with all forms of ranged weapons, attacking with a firearm while within a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity. The cost for single firing a firearm based on the size of the firearm. Diminutive to Small Firearms: 7 Combat Points
Medium to Huge Firearms: 8 Combat Points
Gargantuan and larger Firearms: 9 Combat Points
Close Combat and Firearms Firearms are anything but close ranged weapons: they're designed with range in mind, and the benefits that come from it. Because of this, many firearms are unwieldy to use in close quarters.
When using a shotgun with a choked or slug barrel or a full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -3 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using an assault rifle, battle rifle, or target rifle with any full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -4 penalty on all ranged attacks. When using a marksman rifle, sniper rifle, or anti-material rifle with any full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -6 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using a machine gun, rocket launcher or grenade launcher against an adjacent opponent, the character takes a -8 penalty on all ranged attacks.
All firearms provide ballistic damage, and have a critical range of 16-18 unless otherwise noted.
Multiple Types of Ammunition It's often that a character will have two or more different types of ammunition in a single magazine, or gun, out of personal preference or necessity. The error range for the ammunition only applies when it's the ammunition you're firing. (Example: if a handgun is loaded with FMJ ammunition in the chamber, and the rest of the magazine is filled with JHP ammunition, the error range due to ammunition does not apply until the first JHP round is chambered.) As a General rule, the last round put into the magazine or firearm is the first out. No-Miss Shot A No-Miss shot is a shot is an attack where the character places the barrel of the firearm against the target, so that the muzzle is directly in front of the item to be shot, and then the trigger pulled. When performing a no- miss shot against a target, the defending character gets an attack of opportunity. If this attack of opportunity is successful, the no-miss shot is thwarted, and the attacker waste the combat points spent on the attack. If the attack of opportunity is unsuccessful, the character can roll damage. A character must be adjacent to the target in order to perform a no-miss shot. When a character wishes to use a called shot action in conjunction with the no-miss shot attack, the defending character gains an attack roll bonus equal to the penalty of the called shot, when they perform their attack of opportunity.
A no-miss shot cost 12 Combat points.
Double-fire If a ranged weapon has two barrels that can be fired simultaneously, the weapon can be used for double-fire. The character attacks with a -3 to their attack roll, and if the attack succeeds, the character rolls their weapon's damage for each shot hit, adds the total together, and does that amount of damage their target. Double-fire uses 2 rounds of ammunition, and can only be used if the weapon has 2 rounds of ammunition in it. Double fire can also be used for Under Barrel Grenade Launchers, Mounted Tasers and Masterkey Systems. When doublefiring using a Under Barrel Grenade Launcher, Mounted Taser or a Masterkey System, there is a -4 to the attack roll for each weapon, and each attack is rolled separately.
Double firing cost 6 Combat Points.
Autofire Autofiring is firing a loosely controlled burst of automatic fire at a specific area, from an automatic weapon. If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may set it on Autofire. Autofire affects an area and everyone in it, not a specific creature. The character targets a 10-foot-by-10-foot area and makes an attack roll; the targeted area has an effective Defense of 10. (If the character does not have the Autofire Proficiency feat, they take a -4 penalty on the attack roll.) If the attack succeeds, every creature within the affected area must make a Reflex save (DC 15). If they succeed, they take half of the weapon's damage. Autofire shoots 10 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 10 rounds in it.
Autofiring cost 5 Combat Points.
Burst Fire Burst firing is firing a small burst of bullets at a specific target. If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may use it to burst fire. The character targets a specific creature and makes an attack roll.(if the character does not have the Burst Fire Proficiency Feat, they take a -4 penalty on the attack roll) If the attack succeeds, the character may roll their damage with extra damage dice depending on how many damage they rolled originally and the type of burst fire. For 3 or 5 round burst fire: For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +2 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +3 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. For 2 round burst fire: For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +1 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +2 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. The dice are always the same type as used in the original damage. Burst fire shoots 5 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 5 rounds in it, however, if the firearm has a three-round or two round burst setting, firing a burst expends three or two bullets or shells instead of five and can be used if the weapon has only three or two bullets or shells in it.
Burst firing cost 5 Combat Points. Potshot A potshot is the firing of a weapon in the general direction of the intended target without careful aim. If a ranged weapon has a semi-automatic or single rate of fire, it may be used to potshot. The character targets a specific creature and makes an attack roll with a -6 penalty. If the attack is successful, the character may roll the standard damage. Using this attack fires a single bullet or shell, and can only be done if the weapon has at least one bullet or shell in it.
Potshotting cost 5 Combat Points
Double Tap Double tapping is quickly firing two bullets from a semi automatic weapon, at a specific target. If a ranged weapon has a semi-automatic rate of fire, it may be used to double tap. The character targets a specific creature and makes an attack roll.(.If the character does not have the Double Tap Proficiency Feat, The character receives a -2 penalty on the attack roll.) If the attack is successful, the character gains extra damage dice based on the amount of damage dice they roll originally. For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +1 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +2 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. The dice are always the same type as used in the original damage. Using this attack fires two bullets or shells and can only be done if the weapon has two bullets or shells in it.
Double tapping cost 6 Combat Points.
Bump Fire Bump firing a firearm is using the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm, in order to simulate automatic fire. If a ranged weapon has a semi-automatic rate of fire, holds 10 or more rounds, and has a stock, it can be used to bump fire. Bump fire affects an area and everyone in it, not a specific creature. The character targets a 10-foot-by- 10-foot area and makes an attack roll; the targeted area has an effective Defense of 10. (If the character does not have the Autofire feat, they take a -8 penalty on the attack roll, If they do, they take a -4.) If the attack succeeds, every creature within the affected area must make a Reflex save (DC 15) or take the firearm's damage. Bump fire shoots 10 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 10 rounds in it.
Bump firing cost 5 Combat Points.
Suppressive Fire Suppressive fire is firing a tight controlled burst of automatic fire at a specific area for an extended period of time, from an automatic weapon. If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may use it to Suppressive fire. The character makes an autofire attack as normal. If the attack succeeds, they can elect to continue firing in that specific area. Any creature that enters the area immediately takes the weapon's damage, for every 5 foot square they step into that is currently being suppressed. Every creature that steps within the affected area must make a Will saving throw (DC 18). If they succeed, they take are Shaken for 1d3 rounds. If they fail, they are Rattled for 1d3 rounds. The character suppressing fire can shift the area suppressed, at 5 feet per 3 Combat Points, and it takes 12 Combat Points to either sustain the suppressive fire, or end it. Suppressive fire shoots 10 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 20 rounds(10 for the initial Autofire attack, and 10 to sustain it for at least one full round) When giving suppressive fire to an area, the character is considered flat footed.
Suppressive firing cost 5 Combat Points. Sweepfire Sweeping Fire is firing a loosely controlled burst of automatic fire at a 90 degree arc from an automatic weapon. If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may use it to sweepfire. The character fires in a 15 foot cone at all creatures and makes an attack roll at a -12 penalty(if the character has the Autofire Proficiency Feat the penalty is reduced to -8, and a -4 if they have the Strafe feat.). If the attack succeeds against any targets caught in the arc, the character may roll their damage as normal on all characters hit. Sweepfire uses 15 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 15 rounds in it.
Sweepfiring cost 4 Combat Points.
Sprayfire Sprayfiring is firing a loosely controlled burst of automatic fire at a specific target, from an automatic weapon. If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may use it to sprayfire. The character targets a specific creature and makes an attack roll at a -16 penalty(if the character has the Autofire Proficiency Feat, the penalty is reduced to -12). If the attack succeeds, the character rolls double the dice damage of a standard attack. Sprayfire shoots 10 rounds, and can only be used if the weapon has 10 rounds in it.
Sprayfiring cost 3 Combat Points.
Fanning Fanning is a revolver shooting technique in which one hand holds the trigger and the other hits the hammer repeatedly. This turns the cylinder and hits the firing pin, in that order, allowing for rapid fire of a single action weapon. If a weapon has a Single Action rate of fire, it can be used to perform a fanning attack. The character targets a specific creature, declares if they're going to use two or three bullets or shells, and makes an attack roll. (.If the character does not have the Fanning Proficiency Feat, The character receives a -4 penalty on the attack roll for two bullets or shells, and a -8 on the attack roll for three bullets or shells.)If the attack is successful the character may roll their damage with extra damage dice depending on how many damage they rolled originally and how many bullets they fired. For 3 round Fanning: For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +2 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +3 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. For 2 round Fanning: For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +1 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +2 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. The dice are always the same type as used in the original damage. Using this attack fires two or three bullets or shells and can only be done if the weapon has two or three bullets or shells in it.
Two round fanning cost 5 Combat Points, and three round fanning cost 6 Combat Points.
Slamfire A slamfire is a premature discharge of a firearm that occurs as a round is being loaded into the chamber. Any weapon that has the Slamfire rate of fire can perform a slamfire attack. The character targets a specific creature, declares if they're going to use two, or three bullets or shells, and makes an attack roll.(.If the character does not have the Slam Shot Proficiency Feat, The character receives a -3 penalty on the attack roll for two bullets or shells, and a -6 on the attack roll for three bullets or shells.)If the attack is successful, If the attack succeeds, the character may roll their damage with extra damage dice depending on how many damage they rolled originally and the type of burst fire. For 3 Slamfire: For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +2 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +3 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. For 2 round Slamfire For damage with two or less dice, the character gains +1 dice. For three or more dice, the character gains +2 dice, plus +1 extra die for every three dice beyond the first three. The dice are always the same type as used in the original damage. Using this attack fires two or three bullets or shells and can only be done if the weapon has two or three bullets or shells in it. Two round slamfire cost 5 Combat Points, and three round slamfire cost 6 Combat Points.
Aimed Grenade Launchers and Rocket Launchers Grenade launchers and rocket launchers can be used to attack a specific 5-foot square(just like thrown grenades), or they can be used to target a specific target. If a specific target is targeted, the defense of the target is to be used, and the attacker takes a -2 to their attack roll. If the target is hit, it takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage as well as any damage the grenade or rocket does. If the target is missed by a grenade, the grenade continues for 40 feet in the direction it was fired, until it either reaches the 40 feet, or collides with an object. If the target is missed with a rocket, the rocket continues for 600 feet in the direction it was fired, or until it collides with an object. When either of these happens, the grenade or rocket explodes as normal. All targets beyond the intended target get a Reflex Saving Throw(DC16) to dodge the grenade, and a Reflex Saving Throw(DC40) to dodge the rocket. If the target fails the reflex save, they are hit with the grenade or rocket.
Grenades and Explosives An explosive is a weapon that, when detonated, affects all creatures and objects within its burst radius by means of shrapnel, heat, or massive concussion. Its effect is broad enough that it can hurt characters just by going off close to them. Some explosives, such as grenades, can be thrown, and they explode when they land. Others are planted, with fuses or timers, and go off after a preset amount of time elapses.
Splash Weapons A splash weapon is a ranged weapon that breaks apart on impact, splashing or scattering its contents over its target and nearby creatures or objects. Most splash weapons consist of liquids in breakable containers. To attack with a splash weapon, make a ranged touch attack against the target. Thrown splash weapons require no weapon proficiency, so characters don’t take the -4 nonproficient penalty. A hit deals direct hit damage to the target and splash damage to all other creatures within 5 feet of the target. A character can instead target a specific 5-foot square, including a square occupied by a creature. Use the rules for thrown explosives. However, if a character targets a square, creatures within 5 feet are dealt the splash damage, and the direct hit damage is not dealt to any creature. If the character misses the target (whether aiming at a creature or a square), check to see where the weapon lands, using the rules for thrown explosives. After determining where the object landed, it deals splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet.
Thrown Explosives An attack with a thrown explosive is a ranged attack made against a specific 5-foot square. (A character can target a square occupied by a creature.) Throwing the explosive is an attack action. If the square is within one range increment(Thrown weapons have a range increment of 10 feet), you do not need to make an attack roll. If the target square is more than one range increment away, make an attack roll. The square has an effective Defense of 10. Thrown explosives require no weapon proficiency, so a character doesn’t take the -4 nonproficient penalty. If the attack succeeds, the explosive lands in the targeted square. If the character misses the target, the explosive lands in a square nearby in a random direction. Roll a d12 and consult the tables below to determine where the explosive lands. Table: Thrown and Shot Explosives Deviation
1 6 2
11 Intended 5 12 10 7 Target 9 4 8 3
After determining where the explosive landed, it deals its damage to all targets within the burst radius of the weapon. The targets may make Reflex saves (DC varies according to the explosive type) for half damage, if they are within the wound radius of the explosive.
Wounding Radius for Explosives Explosives often reach out past their original blast radius, and still are effective. This is called the wounding radius. The wound radius of any explosive is is one square outside of the blast radius per 10 feet. Any target caught in the wounding radius, must make a Fortitude saving throw(DC16 + 1 per 10 feet of blast radius) or be knocked prone, and a Reflex saving throw(DC15 + 1 per 10 feet of blast radius), or take full damage. If the character passes the Reflex saving throw, they take half of the damage of explosive. Only explosives that cause damage can have a wounding radius.
Mortars An attack with a Mortar is a ranged attack made against a specific 5-foot square. (A character can target a square occupied by a creature.) Firing a mortar is an attack action that cost 12 Combat Points. If the square is within the first range increment the mortar takes 5 rounds to land. Every range increment after the first reduces the rounds it takes to land by 1. The square has an effective Defense of 10. Mortars require the Exotic Weapons proficiency(Cannon), so a character doesn’t take the -4 nonproficient penalty. If the attack succeeds, the explosive lands in the targeted square. If the character misses the target, the explosive lands in a square nearby in a random direction. Consult the Thrown and Shot Explosive Deviation chart. Mortars have a maximum range increment of 5.
Shooting or Throwing into a Melee If a character shoots or throws a ranged weapon at a target that is engaged in melee with an ally, the character takes a -4 penalty on their attack roll because the character has to aim carefully to avoid hitting the ally. Two characters are engaged in melee if they are enemies and they are adjacent to one another. (An unconscious or otherwise immobilized character is not considered engaged unless they are actually being attacked.) If the target is so big that part of it is 10 feet or farther from the nearest ally, the character can avoid the -4 penalty, even if it’s engaged in melee with an ally.
Called Shot When a character attacks, they are usually targeting center mass, which is the chest and torso region. If a character wishes to target a specific extremity, such as an arm or leg, they may do so. Using a Called shot invokes a -6 penalty for an arm or leg, a -7 for a hand or foot, and a -9 for the head. Calling a shot doesn't take any Combat Points.
If the character is hit anywhere during a called shot attack with a piercing, bludgeoning, slashing or ballistic weapon, and that weapon does more than 3 points of damage to that extremity, then the character takes Extremity damage. Called shot attacks ignore all Armor Damage reduction, unless the targeted area is armored.
Attacking with Two Weapons If the character wields a second weapon in their off hand, the character can attack with it like normal. Fighting in this way is very difficult, however the character takes a -6 penalty on the regular attack or attacks with their primary hand and a -10 penalty on the attack with their off hand. A character can reduce these penalties in two ways. A character fighting with two weapons, however, only has to spend the Combat Points as if attacking with one weapon.
Table: Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties Circumstances Primary Off Hand Hand Normal penalties -6 -10 Off-hand weapon is small or smaller -4 -8 Two-Weapon Melee Fighting feat -4 -4 Two-Weapon Ranged Fighting feat -5 -7 Improved Two-Weapon Melee Fighting feat -2 -4 Improved Two-Weapon Ranged Fighting feat -4 -4 Off-hand weapon is small or smaller and Two- -2 -2 Weapon Melee Fighting feat Off-hand weapon is small or smaller and Two- -3 -5 Weapon Ranged Fighting feat Off-hand weapon is small or smaller and 0 0 Improved Two-Weapon Melee Fighting feat Off-hand weapon is small or smaller and -2 -2 Improved Two-Weapon Ranged Fighting feat
If the off-hand weapon is small or smaller, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always considered light.) The Two-Weapon Melee Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 2, and the off-hand penalty by 6, and the Two Weapon Ranged Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 1, and the off-hand penalty by 3.
Move Actions Move Actions are actions that involve moving of some type.
Movement The simplest move action is moving . A character can move 5 feet per 1 Combat Point, move crouched at 5 feet per 2 Combat Points, and move prone at 5 feet per 3 combat points. Many nonstandard modes of movement are also covered under this category, including climbing and swimming (at 5 feet per 4 Combat Points), crawling (at 5 feet per 2 Combat Points), and entering a vehicle. For every 10 feet beyond the first 30 feet a character moves, they gain a +1 to their Defense until their next turn.
Manipulating Objects This move action includes drawing or holstering a weapon, retrieving a weapon or object out of a MOLLE pouch, pocket or bag, picking up an object, moving a heavy object, and opening a door. Draw a weapon from a holster or sheath: 3 Combat Points
Draw a weapon from mexican carry: 6 Combat Points
Holster a weapon: 4 Combat Points
Retrieve or store an item in a MOLLE vest, or load bearing vest: 3 Combat Points
Retrieve or store an item in a pocket, bag, or pouch: 4 Combat Points Pick up or manipulate an object: 3 Combat Points
Drop an item: 0 Combat Points
Drop to a kneel, sitting, or prone posture: 0 Combat Points
Cycle a weapon Cycling a weapon is the act of purposely cocking the weapon without firing it, ejecting a unused shell or cartridge, and reading the next one in the magazine, or letting the cylinder rotate without firing, often done for dramatic effect, or to ready alternate ammunition in a firearm. Only weapons with a capacity of three or more rounds may be cycled.
Cycling a weapon cost 1 Combat Point.
Standing Up Standing up from a prone or kneeling position cost 6 Combat Points. It provokes an attack of opportunity from opponents who threaten the character.
Reload a weapon. The cost to reload a weapon is dependent on how it is reloaded. Using magazines, speedloaders and stripper clips is much faster than reloading a weapon by hand. Reloading includes charging the weapon so that it's ready for use.
Reload a weapon with a magazine, speedloader or stripper clip: 4 Combat Points
Reload a link fed weapon with a new link: 6 Combat Points
Reload a bow: 1 Combat Point
Reload a crossbow or spear-gun: 2 Combat Points
Reload a slingshot: 3 Combat Points
Reload a taser: 3 Combat Points
Reload a Tranquilizer gun: 9 Combat Points
Reload a paintball hopper: 2 Combat Points
Reload a weapon by hand: 3 Combat Points per bullet or shell Refill a magazine, speedloader, or stripper clip: 3 Combat Points per bullet or shell
Refill a magazine using a stripper clip: 3 Combat Points per stripper clip
Reload a black powder weapon: 12 Combat Points per barrel or chamber
Withdraw Withdrawing from melee combat is when a character retreats from melee combat without incurring attack of opportunity penalties. When a character withdraws, the Combat Point cost to move is multiplied by 4. The square the character starts from is not considered threatened for purposes of withdrawing, and therefore enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against the character when they move from that square. Some forms of movement (such as climbing and swimming) require skill checks from most creatures. A character may not withdraw using a form of movement for which that character must make a skill check.
Clear a Jam Clearing a Jammed Weapon cost 12 Combat points.
Speak Actions With the exception of specific speaking-related abilities, speaking doesn't cost any Combat Points.
Speak Speaking allows the character convey 6 seconds of information, which is about 15 words. These words can be conveyed in any language the character can speak, or any noise the character wishes to produce. Miscellaneous Actions Some actions don’t fit neatly into the above categories. Some of the options described below are actions that take the place of or are variations on the actions described earlier. For actions not covered in any of this material, the GM determines how long such an action takes to perform and whether doing so provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies.
Use Feat, Skill, or Talent Certain feats, let a character take special actions in combat. Other feats are not actions in themselves, but they give a character a bonus when attempting something they can already do. Some feats aren’t meant to be used within the framework of combat. The individual feat descriptions tell a character what they need to know about them. Most uses of skills or talents in a combat situation are attack actions, but some might be move actions or full- round actions. When appropriate, the description of a talent or a skill provides the time required to use it.
Attacks of Opportunity The melee combat rules assume that combatants are actively avoiding attacks. A player doesn’t have to declare anything special for their character to be on the defensive. Sometimes, however, a combatant in a melee lets their guard down, and doesn’t maintain a defensive posture as usual. In this case, combatants near him or her can take advantage of this lapse in defense to attack for free. These attacks are called attacks of opportunity.
Weapon Type A character can use a melee weapon to make attacks of opportunity whenever the conditions for such an attack are met (see Provoking an Attack of Opportunity, below). In addition, a character can make attacks of opportunity with unarmed attacks if the character’s unarmed attacks count as armed (see “Armed” Unarmed Attacks). Threatened Squares A character threatens the squares into which they can make a melee attack, even when it is not the character’s action. Generally, that’s all squares adjacent to the character’s position. An enemy that takes certain actions while in a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity from the character. A character can only make attacks of opportunity with melee weapons, never with ranged weapons. Facing and the penalty come with it, all apply with attacks of opportunity.
Provoking an Attack of Opportunity Two actions can provoke attacks of opportunity: moving out of a threatened square, and performing an action within a threatened square that distracts from defending and lets the character’s guard down.
Moving out of a Threatened Square: When a character moves out of a threatened square, that character generally provokes an attack of opportunity. There are two important exceptions, however. A character doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity if the character withdraws. If the character doesn’t start in a threatened square, but moves into one, the character has to stop there, or else they provoke an attack of opportunity as they leave that square.
Performing an Action that Distracts the Character: Some actions, when performed in a threatened square, provoke attacks of opportunity because they make a character divert their attention from the fight at hand. Using a ranged weapon, in particular, provokes attacks of opportunity. Table: Actions in Combat notes many additional actions that provoke attacks off opportunity.
Making an Attack of Opportunity An attack of opportunity is a single melee attack, and a character can only make one per round. A character does not have to make an attack of opportunity if they don't want to. A character makes their attack of opportunity, however, at their normal attack bonus, even if the character has already attacked in this round. Making an Attack of Opportunity takes no Combat Points.
Extra Effort An Extra Effort action is an action where a character pushes themselves beyond their limits, using a burst of energy to get more accomplished in a single round. The character receives 5 extra combat points for the round(For a total of 20), and the following round, are considered Flat-footed, and can not perform any actions the following round(Including Attacks of Opportunity)
Movement and Position When using a grid to represent character’s movement, the standard scale equates 1 inch (or a 1 inch square) to 5 feet in the game world.
Standard Scale One inch (or one square) = 5 feet “Next to” or “adjacent” = 1 inch (5 feet) away (or in adjacent square) 30mm figure = A human-size creature A human-size creature occupies an area 1 inch (5 feet) across (or one square) One round = 6 seconds
Movement in Darkness: If a character moves when they can’t see, such as in total darkness, their Combat Point cost to move is doubled. The Blind Sense feat reduces this penalty. Diagonals When measuring distance, the first diagonal counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.
You can’t move diagonally past a corner. You can move diagonally past a creature, even an opponent.
You can also move diagonally past other impassable obstacles, such as pits.
Passing Through Sometimes a character can pass through an area occupied by another character or creature.
Friendly Character: A character can move through a square occupied by a friendly character.
Unfriendly Character: There are two ways to move through a square occupied by a resisting enemy. The character can attempt to slip through a square occupied by an enemy (if the character has ranks in the Acrobatics skill; see the skill description).
A character can move through a square occupied by an unfriendly character who doesn’t resist as if the character was friendly. Square Occupied by Creature Three Sizes Larger or Smaller: Any creature can move through a square occupied by a creature three size categories larger or three categories smaller than it is.
Combat Modifiers This section covers offensive and defensive modifiers provided by position.
Favorable and Unfavorable Conditions Generally speaking, any situational modifier created by the attacker’s position or tactics applies to the attack roll, while any situational modifier created by the defender’s position, state, or tactics applies to the defender’s Defense. The GM judges what bonuses and penalties apply, using Table: Defense Modifiers and Table: Attack Roll Modifiers as guides.
Table: Defense Modifiers Circumstance Melee Ranged Defender sitting or kneeling -2 +21 Defender prone -4 +41 Defender stunned or cowering -22 -22 Defender climbing -22 -22 Defender flat-footed +02 +02 Defender grappling (attacker not) +02 +03 Defender pinned -44 +04 Defender helpless (such as paralyzed, sleeping, or +02 +02 bound) Defender has cover —— See Cover —— Defender concealed or invisible — See Concealment — 1 Does not apply if target is adjacent to attacker. This circumstance may instead improve bonus to Defense granted by cover. See Cover, below. 2 The defender loses any Dexterity bonus to Defense. 3 Roll randomly to see which grappling combatant the character strikes. That defender loses any Dexterity bonus to Defense. 4 Treat the defender’s Dexterity as 0 (-5 modifier). Table: Attack Roll Modifiers Circumstance Melee Ranged Attacker flanking defender1 +2 — Attacker on higher ground +1 +0 Attacker kneeling or sitting -2 +1 Attacker prone -4 +21 Attacker has not been seen yet. +22 +22 1 Some ranged weapons can’t be used while the attacker is prone. 2 The defender loses any Dexterity bonus to Defense.
Cover Cover provides a bonus to Defense. The more cover a character has, the bigger the bonus. In a melee, if a character has cover against an opponent, that opponent probably has cover against the character, too. With ranged weapons, however, it’s easy to have better cover than the opponent. The GM may impose other penalties or restrictions on attacks depending on the details of the cover.
Table: Cover Degree of Cover (Example) Cover Bonus Reflex to Defense Saves One-quarter (standing behind a 3-ft. high wall) +2 +1 One-half (fighting from around a corner or a tree; standing at an open window; +4 +2 behind a creature of same size) Three-quarters (peering around a corner or a big tree) +8 +3 Nine-tenths (standing at an arrow slit; behind a door that’s slightly ajar) +10 +4 1 Total (on the other side of a solid wall) — — 1 Half damage if save is failed; no damage if successful.
Degree of Cover Cover is assessed in subjective measurements of how much protection it offers. The GM determines the value of cover. This measure is not a strict mathematical calculation, because a character gains more value from covering the parts of their body that are more likely to be struck. If the bottom half of a character’s body is covered, that only gives one-quarter cover, because most vital areas are still fully exposed. If one side or the other of a character’s body is covered, the character receives one-half cover.
Cover Defense Bonus Table: Cover gives the Defense bonuses for different degrees of cover. Add the relevant number to the character’s Defense. This cover bonus overlaps (does not stack) with certain other bonuses. Cover Reflex Save Bonus Table: Cover gives the Reflex save bonuses for different degrees of cover. Add this bonus to Reflex saves against attacks that affect an area. This bonus only applies to attacks that originate or burst out from a point on the other side of the cover. Striking the Cover Instead of a Missed Target If it ever becomes important to know whether the cover was actually struck by an incoming attack that misses the intended target, the GM should determine if the attack roll would have hit the protected target without the cover. If the attack roll falls within a range low enough to miss the target with cover but high enough to strike the target if there had been no cover, the object used for cover was struck. This can be particularly important to know in cases when a character uses another character as cover. In such a case, if the cover is struck and the attack roll exceeds the Defense of the covering character, the covering character takes the damage intended for the target. If the covering character has a Dexterity bonus to Defense or a dodge bonus, and this bonus keeps the covering character from being hit, then the original target is hit instead. The covering character has dodged out of the way and didn’t provide cover after all. A covering character can choose not to apply their Dexterity bonus to Defense and/or their dodge bonus, if the character so desires.
Concealment Concealment includes all circumstances in which nothing physically blocks a blow or shot, but something interferes with an attacker’s accuracy.
Table: Concealment Concealment (Example) Miss Chance One-quarter (light fog; light 10% foliage) One-half (shadows; dense fog at 5 20% ft.) Three-quarters (dense foliage) 30% Nine-tenths (near total darkness) 40% Total (attacker blind; total 50% and must darkness; smoke grenade; dense guess target’s fog at 10 ft.) location
Degree of Concealment Concealment is subjectively measured as to how well concealed the defender is. Examples of what might qualify as concealment of various degrees are given in Table: Concealment. Concealment always depends on the point of view of the attacker.
Concealment Miss Chance Concealment gives the subject of a successful attack a chance that the attacker missed because of the concealment. If the attacker hits, the defender must make a miss chance percentile roll to avoid being struck. (Actually, it doesn’t matter who makes the roll or whether it’s rolled before or after the attack roll. When multiple concealment conditions apply to a defender, use the one that would produce the highest miss chance. Do not add the miss chances together.
Special Initiative Actions Usually a character acts as soon as they can in combat, but sometimes a character wants to act later, at a better time, or in response to the actions of someone else. Delay By choosing to delay, the character takes no action and then acts normally at whatever point in the initiative count the character decides to act. When a character delays, they voluntarily reduce their own initiative result for the rest of the combat. When the character’s new, lower initiative count comes up later in the same round, the character can act normally. The character can specify this new initiative result or just wait until some time later in the round and act then, thus fixing the character’s new initiative count at that point. A character cannot interrupt anyone’s action with a delayed action (as a character can with a readied action; see below).
Delaying Limits The longest a character can delay before taking an action is until after everyone else has acted in the round. At that point, the delaying character must act or else forfeit any action in that round. If multiple characters are delaying, the one with the highest initiative modifier (or highest Dexterity, in case of a tie) has the advantage. If two or more delaying characters both want to act on the same initiative count, the one with the highest initiative modifier can go first. If two or more delaying characters are trying to go after one another, the one with the highest initiative modifier can go last; the others must go first or lose their action for the round. If a character loses an action due to delaying, they may act on any count on the next turn. Again, the character cannot interrupt an action.
Ready The ready action lets a character prepare to take an action later, to interrupt another character. On the character’s turn, they prepare to take an action later, if a specific trigger is met. Then, later in the round, if the readied action is triggered, the character takes it, acting before the triggering action. Readying does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Readying an Action A character can ready an attack action. To do so, the character specifies the action they will take and the conditions under which the character will take it. Then, any time before the character’s next action, the character may take the readied attack action in response to those conditions. The readied action occurs just before the event that triggers it. If the trigger is part of another character’s actions, the readied action interrupts the other character. The other character continues their actions once the readied action is completed. A character can move as normal, but only as long as the character doesn't spend the Combat Points needed to accomplish the readied action. If the character comes to their next action and has not yet performed the readied action, the character doesn’t get to take the readied action (though the character can ready the same action again). If the character takes their readied action in the next round, before their regular turn comes up, the character’s initiative count does not rise to that new point in the order of battle.
Special Attacks This section covers firearms, grappling, explosives, attacking objects, and an assortment of other special attacks.
Aid Another In combat, a character can help a friend attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. If the character is in position to attack an opponent with which a friend of the character is engaged in melee combat, the character can attempt to aid the friend. The character makes an attack roll against Defense 10. If the character succeeds, they don’t actually damage the opponent, but the character’s friend gains either a +2 circumstance bonus against that opponent or a +2 circumstance bonus to Defense against that opponent (aiding character’s choice) on the friend’s next turn.
Aiding another cost 8 Combat Points Planted Explosives A planted explosive is set in place, with a timer or fuse determining when it goes off. No attack roll is necessary to plant an explosive; the explosive sits where it is placed until it is moved or goes off. When a planted explosive detonates, it deals its damage to all targets within the burst radius of the weapon.
Attack an Object Sometimes a character needs to attack or break an object
Strike an Object Objects are easier to hit than characters because they usually don’t move, but many are tough enough to shrug off some damage from each blow. Object Defense and Bonuses to Attack: Objects are harder or easier to hit depending on their size and whether they are immobile or being held, carried, or worn by opponents. The base Defense of objects is shown on Table: Size and Defense of Objects.
Table: Size and Defense of Objects Size (Example) Defense Colossal (jetliner) -3 Gargantuan (army tank) 1 Huge (typical car) 3 Large (big door) 4 Medium-size (dirt bike) 5 Small (chair) 6 Tiny (College textbook) 7 Diminutive (paperback 9 book) Fine (pencil) 13
If a character spends 12 Combat Points to make an attack against an inanimate, immobile object, the character receives an automatic hit with a melee weapon, or a +5 bonus on their attack roll with a ranged weapon(All ranged weapons are firing single shot). An object being held, carried, or worn has a Defense equal to the above figure + 5 + the opponent’s Dexterity modifier. Striking a held, carried, or worn object provokes an attack of opportunity from the character who holds it. (If a character has the Sunder feat, they don't incur an attack of opportunity for making the attempt.) Hardness: Each object has hardness, a number that represents how well it resists damage. Whenever an object takes damage, subtract its hardness from the damage. Only damage in excess of its hardness is deducted from the object’s hit points (see Table: Substance Hardness and Hit Points and Table: Object Hardness and Hit Points).
Table: Substance Hardness and Hit Points Substance Hardness Hit Points Paper 0 2/inch of thickness Rope 0 2/inch of thickness Plastic, soft 0 3/inch of thickness Glass 1 1/inch of thickness Ceramic 1 2/inch of thickness Ice 0 3/inch of thickness Plastic, 2 5/inch of thickness hard Wood 5 10/inch of thickness Aluminum 6 10/inch of thickness Concrete 8 15/inch of thickness Steel 10 30/inch of thickness

The GM may adjust these upward to account for objects with more strength and durability.
Hit Points: An object’s hit point total depends on what it is made of or how big it is (see Table Substance Hardness and Hit Points and Table Object Hardness and Hit Points).
Energy Attacks: Acid and Concussive attacks deal normal damage to most objects. Electricity and fire attacks deal half damage to most objects; divide the damage by 2 before applying the hardness. Cold attacks deal one- quarter damage to most objects; divide the damage by 4 before applying the hardness.
Ineffective Weapons: The GM may determine that certain weapons just can’t deal damage effectively to certain objects.
Immunities: Objects are immune to nonlethal damage Saving Throws: Unattended objects never make saving throws. They are considered to have failed their saving throws. An object attended by a character (being grasped, touched, or worn) receives a saving throw just as if the character herself were making the saving throw.
Breaking Objects When a character tries to break something with sudden force rather than by dealing damage, use a Strength check to see whether they succeed. The DC depends more on the construction of the object than on the material. If an object has lost half or more of its hit points, the DC to break it decreases by 2.
Repairing Objects Repairing damage to an object takes a full hour of work and appropriate tools. (Without the tools, a character takes a -6 penalty on their Craft check.) At the end of the hour, make a Craft(Structural) check (DC 20). Success restores 2d6 hit points. The character may attempt repair checks until the item's HP is restored. Facing All characters have a facing: the direction to the adjacent square the character or creature is pointing toward. This means that a Medium creature standing in a given square has eight possible facings. The three squares a Small or Medium character is pointing toward are its front area. The three squares behind it are its rear area. The squares to its left and right are its flanks. Larger characters have more squares to deal with, but they still face toward one of eight directions. Their front areas remain the squares in front of them (including those on the front corners); their rear areas remain the squares behind them (including those on the rear corners); and their flanks remain the squares directly to their sides.
Changing facing
As you move, you can freely change your facing, rotating your miniature before you step into each new square. In addition, you can change facing at the end of your move. These rules do not apply if your movement is limited to a 5-foot step; see below. If you do not move during your turn, you may change facing once, at any point during your turn, for free. You can turn to face any direction you like, but you cannot change facing more than once.
Normal Movement You can move into any square in your front area at the normal movement cost. As you move, you may change your facing as you enter each new square. Make it clear which way you’re facing as you move, if it matters (such as when enemies are near), and set your miniature’s facing when you’re done moving. (If your miniature is on a square base, the corners of the base may extend beyond the miniature’s space. That’s okay, but remember that regardless of your facing, the size and shape of your space never actually changes.)
Moving Backward or Sideways In general, you’ll usually turn your character in the direction of movement before making a move. (As described above, you may freely make such changes in facing during movement.) However, sometimes you’ll want to move without changing your facing, to avoid exposing your flank or rear area to an attack of opportunity while you move. It costs two squares of movement to enter a square on your flank or in your rear area.
Depending on their size, creatures take up one or more hexagons on the grid, as shown in the accompanying diagram.
Areas of effects change to accommodate the hex grid; refer to the diagram below. Facing And Attacking In general, a character can attack into any square in his front area without penalty. Characters who don’t want to change their facing to point toward a foe can attack into their flank areas at a -5 penalty and into their rear areas at a -10 penalty. Characters can make ranged attacks into any square beyond their front area without penalty, as shown in the accompanying diagram. The penalties for making ranged attacks into flank and rear areas are the same as for melee combat.
Opponent Facing
Not only does your facing matter when you’re attacking, but the facing of your opponent does as well. If you’re attacking from a foe’s flank area (or the squares beyond it, if you have a reach or ranged weapon), you get a +2 bonus on the attack roll. You don’t need anyone opposite you on the other side of your foe. If you’re attacking from a foe’s rear area (or the squares beyond it), you get a +4 bonus on the attack roll. Faceless Creatures
Some creatures have no real facing because they can move, attack, and perceive foes equally well in every direction. All elementals and oozes are faceless. Faceless creatures can move or attack into any adjacent square, and they can’t be flanked or attacked from the rear because they don’t have flanks or rears.
Tiny and Smaller Creatures Tiny and smaller creatures don’t have facing. They can move or attack in any direction and are otherwise treated as faceless.
Facing And Perception It’s much easier to see what’s going on in your front area, and much easier to sneak around behind someone’s back. Perception Check Characters take a -5 penalty on Perception checks to spot things in their flank area (or beyond) and a -10 penalty to spot things in their rear area (or beyond). The Combat Awareness feat helps dampen this penalty. Faceless creatures (see above) and creatures with all-around vision ability don’t take this penalty.
Readied Actions
You can’t ready an action to respond to a trigger that occurs in your rear area if you have to see it happen (such as a doorknob turning). But you can ready an action for a sound-based trigger (such as the click of latch opening).
Vehicle Movement and Combat
For simply traveling from point to point, the vehicle used is largely a matter of personal style and finances. Skill checks are only required in extraordinary circumstances. These rules are primarily focused on ground vehicles: cars, trucks, and light military vehicles. The rules can be modified for heavier armored vehicles, and aircraft.
Characters in Vehicles A character in a vehicle fills one of several possible roles, which determines what the character can do. Driver: The driver of the vehicle controls its movement. Most vehicles have only one position from where the vehicle can be driven, so the person seated there is the driver. Driving a vehicle cost, at minimum, 6 Combat Points, which means that the driver may be able to do something else with their Combat Points. There can be only one driver in a vehicle at one time.
Copilot: A copilot can help the driver by taking an aid another action. The copilot must be seated in a location where they can see the road and advise the driver (in a car, this generally means the front passenger seat). Aiding the driver cost 6 Combat Points. A vehicle can have only one copilot at a time. A copilot can also drive the vehicle if the driver cannot or chooses not to, provided there is a second set of controls at the copilot’s seat (usually true in aircraft, but not ground vehicles).
Gunner: Some vehicles have built-in weapons. If such a weapon is controlled from a location other than the driver’s position, a character can man that position and become the gunner. A vehicle can have as many gunners as it has gunner positions.
Passenger: All other personnel aboard the vehicle are considered passengers. Passengers have no specific role in the vehicle’s operation, but may be able to fire weapons from the vehicle or take other actions. Scale These rules use two scales. If the encounter involves both vehicles and characters on foot, use character scale. If the scene involves only vehicles, and they’re likely to move at much higher speeds than characters or creatures on foot, use vehicle scale. Character Scale: Character scale is identical to the standard scale: It’s carried out on a grid in which each square equals 5 feet. In character scale, most vehicles are large enough to occupy multiple squares on the map grid. How many squares a vehicle occupies is specified in the vehicle’s description. When moving a vehicle, count the squares from the vehicle’s rear. When turning, pivot the vehicle on the rear square toward which it is turning. When firing weapons, count squares from the location of the weapon. In character scale, more than one ground vehicle cannot occupy the same square.
Vehicle Scale: In Vehicle scale, grids are not used. Instead the GM will describe the location of objects and obstacles, in reference to the character's location. It is important to use numerical feet values for anything the characters will target, and reference how long it will take the characters to reach a particular obstacle, based on their speed.
Vehicle Sizes Vehicles use the same size categories as characters and creatures, as shown on Table: Vehicle Sizes. The vehicle’s size modifier applies to its initiative modifier, maneuver modifier, and Defense. (The size modifier is already included in the vehicle statistics on Table: Vehicles)
Table: Vehicle Sizes Vehicle Size Examples Size Modifier Colossal -8 Jumbo Jets, Semi-trucks Gargantuan -4 IFVs, APCs, and Most aircraft Huge -2 Midsized Cars, Luxury Cars Large -1 Compact Cars, Compact Trucks Medium +0 Motorcycles, Toy Cars, and Mini Cars
Facing and Firing Arcs When dealing with vehicles, the vehicle’s facing (the direction it’s pointing) is important. Facing indicates the direction in which the vehicle is traveling (assuming it’s not moving in reverse). It can also determine which weapons aboard the vehicle can be brought to bear on a target. A weapon built into a vehicle can by mounted to fire in one of four directions: forward, aft (rear), right, or left, or be built into a partial or full turret. A partial turret lets a weapon fire into three adjacent fire arcs (such as forward, left, and right), while a full turret lets it fire in any direction. For vehicles with weapons, a weapon’s arc of fire is given in the vehicle’s description.
Getting Started Most vehicles can be entered with 4 Combat Points and started with 4 more Combat Points. An exception is noted in a vehicle’s description when it applies.
Vehicle combat differs from Character combat, in that there are two phases per round, the Movement Phase and the Attack Phase.
Initiative Initiative is determined by rolling initiative for each vehicle, using the vehicle’s initiative modifier. Movement Phase The movement phase is the phase where the vehicles move. The driver spends 6 Combat Points moving the Vehicle's speed, increasing or decreasing the speed category, and performing maneuvers. Initiative order goes as normal, and once every vehicle in combat has moved, the Attack Phase begins.
Attack Phase The attack phase is the phase that allows both the vehicle and it's occupants to attack. The characters may use as many combat points as they possess attacking or shifting within the vehicle.
Vehicle Speed Vehicle speed is expressed in eight categories: Stationary, Observing speed, Cruising Speed, Alley Speed, Avenue Speed, Street Speed, Highway Speed and All Out Speed. Each of these speed categories represents a range of possible movement (see Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers). Each movement Phase, a vehicle moves according to its current speed category.
Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers Required Turn Defense Modifier Check/Roll 1 Speed Distance Modifier Category Stationary2 — +0 — Observing — +0 +0 Speed Cruising 5 ft. +1 +0 Speed Alley Speed 10 ft. +1 -1 Avenue 15 ft +2 -2 Speed Street Speed 20 ft +3 -4 Highway 30 ft +5 -6 Speed All-out 35 ft +7 -8 Speed 1 The number of squares a vehicle must move at this speed before making a turn. 2 A stationary vehicle cannot move or maneuver.
Declaring Speed At the beginning of their action, a driver must declare their speed category for the round. The driver can choose to go one category faster or slower than the vehicle’s speed category at the end of the previous round. A stationary vehicle can change to observing speed in either forward or reverse. Most vehicles cannot go faster than alley speed in reverse. Not all vehicles can reach all speeds, and some vehicles can skip speeds with upgrades.
Stationary: The vehicle is motionless. Observing Speed: The vehicle is rolling at a very slow speed, usually used to survey areas. It tops out at about 15 miles per hour Cruising Speed: The vehicle is moving at a brisk pace, faster than what would be moved to observe, often used in parking lots and school zones. This speed tops out at about 30 miles per hour Alley Speed: This speed is used for safely maneuvering a vehicle in tight spaces, such as alleys and parking garages. It tops out at about 45 miles per hour. Avenue Speed: This speed is for open roads at a decent speed, up to about 60 miles per hour. Street Speed: The vehicle is traveling at a moderate speed, up to about 75 miles per hour Highway Speed: The vehicle is moving at a typical highway speed, from about 90 miles per hour All-Out Speed: The vehicle is traveling extremely fast, more than 110 miles per hour.
The Effects of Speed A fast-moving vehicle is harder to hit than a stationary one, but it’s also harder to control, and to attack from. As shown on Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers, when a vehicle travels at street speed or faster, it gains a bonus to Defense. However, that speed brings along with it a penalty on all skill checks and attack rolls made by characters aboard the vehicle, including Drive checks to control the vehicle and attacks made from it.
Driving a Vehicle Driving a vehicle cost 6 Combat Points, taken by the vehicle’s driver. During their move action, the driver moves the vehicle a number of squares that falls within its speed category. The driver can attempt maneuvers to change the vehicle’s course or speed. These maneuvers can be attempted at any point along the vehicle’s route.
The two kinds of vehicle movement are simple maneuvers and stunts.
Simple Maneuvers: A simple maneuver, such as a 45-degree turn, is easy to perform. Each is free and can be taken as many times as the driver likes while they move the vehicle for no Combat Point cost. However, simple maneuvers do cost movement, so a vehicle that makes a lot of simple maneuvers will not get as far as one going in a straight line. Simple maneuvers do not require the driver to make skill checks.
Stunts: Stunts are difficult and sometimes daring maneuvers that enable a driver to change their vehicle’s speed or heading more radically than a simple maneuver allows. A stunt cost 6 Combat Points. Stunts always require Drive checks.
Simple Maneuvers During a vehicle’s movement, the driver can perform any one of the following maneuvers. 45-Degree Turn: Any vehicle can make a simple 45-degree turn as part of its movement. The vehicle must move forward at least a number of feet equal to its required turn distance (shown on Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers) before it can turn.
Ram: At character scale, a driver does not have to perform a maneuver to ram another vehicle, they only needs to drive their vehicle into the other vehicle, and a collision occurs (see Collisions and Ramming).
At vehicle scale, however, more than one vehicle can occupy the same square and not collide, so ramming another vehicle requires a simple maneuver. The driver moves their vehicle into the other vehicle and states that they are attempting to ram. Resolve the ram as a collision, except that the driver of the target vehicle can make a Reflex save (DC 15) to reduce the damage to both vehicles by half.
Stunts Stunts are maneuvers that require a Drive check to perform successfully. Unsuccessful stunts often result in the vehicle ending up someplace other than where the driver intended. When this happens, the vehicle collides with any objects in its path. Remember that the check/roll modifier from Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers affects all Drive checks made by the driver and attack rolls made by all occupants of the vehicle. Avoid Hazard: Vehicle combat rarely occurs on a perfectly flat, featureless plain. When a vehicle tries to move through a square occupied by a hazard, the driver must succeed on a Drive check to avoid the hazard and continue moving. Structures simply cannot be avoided. Also, if a driver cannot make a check (if they have used all their Combat Points for the round in performing other stunts), they automatically fail to avoid the hazard. In such cases, a collision occurs. The DC to avoid a hazard varies with the nature of the hazard. On a failed check, the vehicle hits the obstacle. An oil slick forces the drive to make a Drive check (DC 18) to retain control of the vehicle (see Losing Control). Failing to avoid an object results in a collision with the object (see Collisions and Ramming).
Caltops: Caltrops are four-pronged steel spikes designed so that one prong is pointing up when the caltrop rests on a surface. If a Vehicle fails it's avoid hazard check, the caltrops make an attack against the vehicle with a +2 Attack Bonus. If the attack is successful, the vehicle's tires are destroyed and the driver is forced to make a Drive check (DC 19) to retain control (see Losing Control). The Vehicle's max speed is reduced to Observing speed until the tires are changed.
Oil Slick: An oil slick is a large pool of oil(Or any hydrophobic, slippery fluid). If the driver fails to avoid this hazard, they are forced to make a Drive check (DC 18) to retain control of the vehicle (see Losing Control)
Hazard DC Caltrops 16 Oil slick 18 Object Small (tire, light debris) 8 Medium-size (crate) 12 Large (pile of wreckage) 19 Structure Cannot be avoided
Bootleg Turn: By making a bootleg turn, a driver can radically change direction without turning in a loop. However, in so doing, the vehicle comes to a stop. Before a vehicle can make a bootleg turn, it must move in a straight line at least a number of squares equal to its required turn distance. To make a bootleg turn, simply change the vehicle’s facing to the desired direction. The vehicle ends its movement in that location, at stationary speed.
The DC for a bootleg turn depends on the change in facing. On a failed check, instead of facing the desired direction, the vehicle only changes facing by 45 degrees. Make a Drive check to retain control against a DC equal to the DC for the bootleg turn attempted (see Losing Control).
Facing DC Change 45 degrees 5 90 degrees 10 135 degrees 15 180 degrees 20 Dash: With a dash stunt, a driver can increase the vehicle’s speed by one category. (This increase is in addition to any speed change made at the beginning of the driver’s action; if the driver increased speed at that time, they can accelerate a total of two categories in the same round.) The vehicle’s total movement for the round cannot exceed the maximum number of squares for its new speed category. (The squares it has already moved before attempting the dash count against this total.) The DC for a dash is 15. The driver can only succeed at one dash per round. On a failed check, the vehicle does not change speed categories.
Hard Brake: With a hard brake stunt, a driver can reduce the vehicle’s speed by up to one category. (This is in addition to any speed change made at the beginning of his action; if the driver reduced speed at that time, they can drop a total of two categories in the same round.) The vehicle’s movement for the round ends immediately.
The DC for a hard brake is 15. The driver can only succeed at one hard break per round. On a failed check, the vehicle does not change speed categories. Make a Drive check (DC 15) to retain control (see Losing Control).
Hard Turn: A hard turn allows a vehicle to make a turn in a short distance without losing speed. A hard turn functions like a 45-degree turn simple maneuver, except that the vehicle only needs to move forward a number of feet equal to half its required turn distance (rounded down). The DC for a hard turn is 15. On a failed check, the vehicle continues to move forward a number of feet equal to its required turn distance before turning, just as with a simple 45-degree turn. Make a Drive check (DC 15) to retain control (see Losing Control).
Jump: A driver can attempt to jump their vehicle across a gap in their path. To make a jump, the vehicle must move in a straight line a number of feet equal to its required turn distance.
The DC for a jump depends on the width of the gap, modified by the vehicle’s speed category. On a failed check, the vehicle fails to clear the gap, and instead falls into it (or collides with the far side). Determine damage as for a collision (see Collisions and Ramming). Gap Width DC 1-3 ft. (ditch) 15 4-8 ft. (culvert) 20 8-15 ft. (creek, small ravine) 25 16-25 ft. (narrow road, small 30 pond) 26-40 ft. (wide road, small river) 35
Vehicle Speed DC Modifier Category Observational Speed +20 Cruising Speed +15 Alley Speed +10 Avenue Speed +5 Street Speed +0 Highway Speed -5 All-out Speed -10 A shallow gap (1 to 3 feet deep) is equivalent to a Medium-size object; the vehicle may be able to avoid taking collision damage from the failed jump by treating the far side as a hazard and then continue moving (see Avoid Hazard, above). A moderately deep gap (4 to 10 feet deep) is equivalent to a Huge object. The vehicle can only drive out of the gap if the walls are not too steep.
A deeper gap (11 feet or deeper) is equivalent to a Colossal object. The vehicle can only drive out of the gap if the walls are not too steep. If the gap is filled with water, the vehicle takes only half damage from the collision with the ground. However, if the water is too deep or the bottom is too soft (GM’s discretion), the vehicle might not be able to move.
Sideswipe: During a vehicle’s movement, a driver can attempt to sideswipe a vehicle or other target, either to deal damage without fully ramming it or to cause another driver to lose control of their vehicle. At character scale, a vehicle must be side by side with its target (that is, occupying the square or squares directly to its side) and moving in the same direction. Attempting a sideswipe costs 1 square of movement.
If the stunt is successful, the sideswiping vehicle and the target both take damage as if they had collided (see Collisions and Ramming), except that the collision multiplier is one-forth, and the target (or driver of the target vehicle) can make a Reflex save (DC 15) to reduce the damage to both by half. If the target is another vehicle the driver must succeed at a Drive check (DC 15) at the beginning of their next action or lose control of the vehicle. The DC for a sideswipe is 15. It’s modified by the relative size and speed of the target. Target Condition DC Modifier Each size category larger -5 Each size category smaller +5 Each speed category of -2 difference
On a failed check, both vehicles take damage as though the sideswipe attempt was a success. However, the other driver does not need to make a check to retain control.
Terrain The Terrain a vehicle is driving on can also change how a vehicle is controlled, and how fast it can go.
Paved Road: Paved roads are roads made of cement, asphalt, or any other kind of standard paving. They have no special rules.
Semi-Paved Road: These roads include Gravel, hard compacted dirt roads, and any other kind of road where traditional paving is not used. They grant a -1 Penalty to all Drive checks.
Wilderness: Wilderness includes loose dirt roads, sand, or any kind of road off the beaten path. When driving on this type of surface, the Maximum speed is reduced by 4 categories.
Icy and Snow Modifier: Ice and snow remove traction from the road, making it harder to steer and gain control. When driving on any kind of road that is considered icy or snowy, there is a -4 Penalty to Drive Checks.
Rain Modifier: Rain makes it somewhat more difficult to drive, with the loss of traction. When driving on any kind of road that has been rained on, there is a -2 Penalty to Drive Checks. Driver Options Here is what a vehicle driver can do during the Movement Phase: Choose the Vehicle’s Speed: The driver may increase or decrease their vehicle’s speed category by one (or keep it the same).
Movement: Move and maneuver, and attempt a single stunt as part of the movement.
Collisions and Ramming A collision occurs when a vehicle strikes another vehicle or a solid object. Generally, when a vehicle collides with a creature or other moving vehicle, the target can attempt a Reflex save (DC 15) to reduce the damage by half.
Resolving Collisions The base damage dealt by a vehicle collision depends on the speed and size of the objects involved. Use the highest speed and the smallest size of the two colliding objects and refer to Table: Collision Damage.
Table: Collision Damage Highest Damage Die Speed Type Observational 1 Speed Cruising d2 Speed Alley speed d4 Avenue Speed d6 Street speed d8 Highway d10 speed All-out d12
Smallest Object or Creature Number of Size Dice Colossal 20 Gargantuan 16 Huge 12 Large 8 Medium-size 4 Small 2 Tiny 1 Smaller than Tiny 0
After finding the base damage, determine the collision’s damage multiplier based on how the colliding vehicle struck the other vehicle or object. (For vehicles moving in reverse, consider the back end to be the vehicle’s “front” for determining the collision multiplier.) Consult Table: Collision Direction for a multiplier. Once the damage has been determined, apply it to both vehicles (or objects or creatures) involved in the collision. Both vehicles reduce their speed by two speed categories. If the colliding vehicle moved the minimum number of feet for its new speed category before the collision, it ends its movement immediately. If not, it pushes the other vehicle or object aside, if possible, and continues until it has moved the minimum number of feet for its new speed category. Table: Collision Direction Colliding Vehicle’s Target Multiplier A stationary object x 1 A moving vehicle, striking head-on or 45 degrees from x 2 head-on A moving vehicle, striking perpendicular x 1 A moving vehicle, striking from the rear or 45 degrees from x 1/2 the rear A vehicle being sideswiped (see Sideswipe) x 1/4
The driver of the vehicle that caused the collision must immediately make a Drive check (DC 15) or lose control of the vehicle (see Losing Control, below). The driver of the other vehicle must succeed on a Drive check (DC 15) at the beginning of their next action or lose control of their vehicle.
Damage to Vehicle Occupants When a vehicle takes damage from a collision, its occupants may take damage as well. The base amount of damage depends on the cover offered by the vehicle.
Cover Damage None Same as damage taken by vehicle One-quarter One-half damage taken by vehicle One-half One-quarter damage taken by vehicle Three-quarters or None more
Each of the occupants may make a Reflex save (DC 15) to take half damage.
Losing Control A collision or a failed stunt can cause a driver to lose control of his vehicle. In these cases, the driver must make a Drive check to retain control of the vehicle. If this check is successful, the driver maintains control of the vehicle. If it fails, the vehicle goes into a spin. If it fails by 10 or more, the vehicle rolls. Remember that the check/roll modifier from Table: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers applies to all Drive checks.
An out-of-control vehicle may strike an object or other vehicle. When that happens, a collision occurs (see Collisions and Ramming, above).
Spin: The vehicle skids, spinning wildly. At character scale, the vehicle moves in its current direction a number of feet equal to the required turn distance for its speed, then ends its movement. Once it stops, roll 1d8 to determine its new facing: 1, no change; 2, right 45 degrees; 3, right 90 degrees; 4, right 135 degrees; 5, 180 degrees; 6, left 135 degrees; 7, left 90 degrees; 8, left 45 degrees. Reorient the vehicle accordingly. At vehicle scale, the vehicle moves 5 ft and stops. Roll to determine its new facing as indicated above.
Roll: The vehicle tumbles, taking damage. At character scale, the vehicle rolls in a straight line in its current direction for a number of feet equal to the required turn distance for its speed, then ends its movement. At the end of the vehicle’s roll, reorient the vehicle perpendicular to its original direction of travel (determine left or right randomly). At vehicle scale, the vehicle rolls 5 ft before stopping and reorienting. At either scale, a vehicle takes damage equal to 2d6 x the character scale required turn distance for its speed (use the required turn distance from character scale even at vehicle scale). The vehicle’s occupants take damage equal to 2d4 x the character scale required turn distance for its speed (Reflex save, DC 15, for half damage).
Hide and Seek When being pursued, a driver can attempt a Stealth check to lose the pursuer in heavy traffic, or a presence check to misdirect the pursuer before turning onto an off-ramp or a side street. To make a Stealth check, use the normal rules for hiding (see the Stealth skill description). The normal size modifiers apply, but because the driver is hiding among other vehicles, most of which are size Large or Huge, they gain a +8 bonus on the check. This use of the Stealth skill can only be attempted in fairly heavy traffic; in lighter traffic, the GM might not allow it or might apply a penalty to the check. A driver can use Presence to make a pursuer think they are going a different direction from what the driver intends. Just before making a turn onto an off-ramp or side street, make a Presence check opposed by the pursuer’s Presence check. If the driver is successful, the pursuer takes a -5 penalty on any Drive check needed to make the turn to follow the driver. If the other driver can make the turn using only simple maneuvers and does not have to make a Drive check, the Presence attempt has no effect.
Fighting from Vehicles The following rules provide a further framework for combat involving vehicles.
Actions during the Attack Phase of vehicle combat are handled the same way as actions during personal combat.
Move Actions: Changing position within a vehicle is usually 5 Combat Points , especially if the character has to trade places with another character. If the character’s movement is short and unobstructed, the character can do it at the cost of regular movement.
Attack Actions: Anyone aboard a vehicle can make an attack with a personal weapon, and drivers and gunners can make attacks with any vehicle-mounted weapons controlled from their positions.
Crew Quality Rather than force the GM to create, or remember, statistics for everyone aboard a vehicle, vehicle statistics include a general “crew quality” descriptor. This indicates a typical crew’s aptitude with the vehicle’s systems. Table: Vehicle Crew Quality shows the five levels of crew quality for GM-controlled vehicle crews, along with the appropriate check modifier. Use the check modifier for all skill checks related to the operation of the vehicle (including Drive and Craft(Mechanical, Electrical or Structural) checks). Use the attack bonus for all attack rolls performed by the crew. For quick reference, Table: Crewed Vehicles shows the typical crew quality, and the crew’s total initiative and maneuver modifiers, for the vehicles covered in this book. This by no means restricts the GM from creating unique vehicles where the crew’s statistics are included, or from using GM characters’ abilities when they drive or attack from vehicles. It’s merely a shortcut to save time if the GM doesn’t have particular characters behind the wheel
Table: Vehicle Crew Quality Crew Quality Check Attack Modifier Bonus Untrained -4 -2 Normal +2 +0 Skilled +4 +2 Expert +8 +4 Ace +12 +6 Attack Options Firing a vehicle’s weapon requires the use of Combat Points, dependent on how it is fired and uses the driver’s or gunner’s ranged attack modifier.
A driver with 5 or more ranks in the Drive skill gains a +2 synergy bonus when firing vehicle-mounted weapons while driving.
Some military vehicles are equipped with fire-control computers. These systems grant equipment bonuses on attack rolls with the vehicle-mounted weapons to which they apply.
Driving Defensively: Just as in melee combat, one can fight defensively while driving a vehicle, which grants a +2 dodge bonus to the vehicle’s Defense and applies a -4 penalty on attack rolls made by occupants of the vehicle. It has the same Combat Point cost as normal.
Targeting Occupants An attack made against a vehicle uses the vehicle’s Defense, modified by its speed category. Attackers can choose instead to target specific vehicle occupants. An attack against a vehicle occupant is made like any other attack. Remember, however, that a character in a vehicle gains bonuses to Defense from both the vehicle’s speed and any cover it provides.
Cover When a character fires from a vehicle, objects or other vehicles in the way can provide cover for the target.
Damaging Vehicles All vehicles have hit points, which are roughly equivalent to a character’s hit points. Like most inanimate objects, vehicles also have hardness. Whenever a vehicle takes damage, subtract the vehicle’s hardness from the damage dealt.
When a vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points, it is disabled. Although it might be repairable, it ceases functioning. A vehicle that is disabled while moving drops one speed category each round until it comes to a stop. The driver cannot attempt any maneuvers except a 45-degree turn. A vehicle is destroyed when it loses hit points equal to twice its full normal total. A destroyed vehicle cannot be repaired.
Tires: All ground vehicles need tires to move. Targeting a tire is a called shot at a -4 to hit the tire. If a Vehicle's tire is hit, the driver must make a Drive Check (DC16), or lose control of the vehicle. For every tire lost, the vehicle loses one-quarter of it's speed.
Energy Attacks: Vehicles are treated as objects when subjected to energy attacks.
Exploding Vehicles: If the attack that disables a vehicle deals damage equal to half its full normal hit points or more, the vehicle explodes after 1d6 rounds. This explosion deals 15d6 points of fire damage to everyone within the vehicle (Reflex save, DC 20 for half damage), and half that much to everyone and everything within 30 feet of the explosion (Reflex save, DC 15, for half damage). Repairing Damage Repairing damage to a vehicle takes a full hour of work, a mechanical tool kit, and a garage or some other suitable facility. (Without the tool kit, a character takes a -4 penalty on their Craft check.) At the end of the hour, make a Craft(Structural) check (DC 20). Success restores 2d6 hit points. If damage remains, the character may continue to make repairs for as many hours as it takes to restore all of the vehicle’s hit points. GAME MASTERING
The Role of the Game Master The Game master is a storyteller and a referee, creator of terrible threats against humanity, secret master of the villainous, criminal and insane, and hidden protector of the brave. The GM's Responsibilities include three important task. Craft a Story: First and foremost, a game session is a story, it should make sense and hang together, complete with a beginning middle and an ending. After you set the adventure in motion, the players help provide what happens in the middle, and how the conclusion plays out. Create the world: The GM develops the campaign world, either using one from a preexisting one, or creating all their own. The campaign provides the backdrop and the story that unfolds Adjudicate the Game: Finally, the GM rolls the dice, decides to add a thug or two to keep the heroes in danger and actually referees the use of the rules contained in this book. The players must be able to count on you to run the game fairly and in everyone's interest.

While on active duty in a combat area or on assignment, Military Personnel have the Military and Police license for free
Religious
Ordained clergymen own traditional garb and text of their religion, while scholars and experts would be equipped just as academics would be.
Rural
Farm workers, hunters, and others who make a living in rural communities fall under this cattery. Farm workers favor target and heavy handguns, lever action rifles, and shotguns of various gauges and types.
The preference of a hunter depends on what he is hunting. For small to medium game, a pistol caliber carbine or a .22 caliber rifle is more than sufficient. For medium to large game, a larger caliber rifle or a shotgun would be more suited. Student
Students will always have a computer of some type, as well as their text of study, and a backpack to carry it all around in.
Security
Security personnel usually have at least a flashlight and radio to accompany their gear, and if they deal with threats on a constant basis, a firearm. They also have handcuffs, to keep suspects secured so they do not attack innocents or them. Lesser security personnel will keep non-lethal weapons, such as chemical irritants or tasers.
Technician
A Technician's equipment depends on what kind of technician they are. A chemical engineer would have access to a deluxe chemistry kit on site, and a small chemical kit at their home. A mechanical engineer would have access to a deluxe mechanical kit on site, and a small mechanics kit at home. An electrical engineer would have access to a deluxe electronics kit on site, and a small electronics kit at home. A programmer or computer technician would have a laptop. A civil engineer would have his sketching and surveying equipment .
Unemployed
An Unemployed character doesn't have any other resource besides free time, the library computer and the local want ads.
White collar
White collar workers would always have access to a computer, as well as any text that may be relevant to their job, as well as a company car.
Setting Prices Ops and Tactics uses a wealth system called Wealth points, where 1 WP is equal to about 20 USD. This makes the setting of prices very easy. If a Hero wishes to purchase something that isn't in the book, you can set the price for it, based on wealth points. If it falls somewhere in the middle, always round up for the price. If the cost of the item is less than half a single wealth point, then the character can purchase multiples of the object, for a single wealth point.
Salary Every Hero has a profession, and that profession provides them with a salary. Every two weeks in game time, or when the GM thinks it's applicable, the heroes get to roll their salary. This is added to their total wealth point pool. It is assumed that when the characters are not adventuring, the are off doing their respective jobs, in the background.
Encounter Goals Heroes receive experience points for overcoming obstacles that stand in the way of achieving the goals of the adventure. Feel free, however, to adjust the experience awards depending on how easily the heroes achieve an encounter goal. Battle Value
Every encounter is rated with a Battle Value (BV) , that indicates how challenging the encounter is expected to be. In general, an encounter with a battle value around the same as the heroes is moderately challenging; difficult or dangerous enough to make the heroes pay attention, but probably not life threatening if they're reasonably careful. A Battle Value of two to three times higher than the heroes' is a much more dangerous. On the other hand, minor encounters throughout the adventure might have a BV of two to three times lower than the heroes'. In addition to indicating challenge level, the BV is also used to determine the amount of experience characters get for succeeding in those encounters.
Determining Encounter Levels
Determining the level of an encounter involves four steps: Determining the amount of opponents or hazards; calculating the overall Battle Value from those individual BVs; considering the threat level of the encounter; and considering the encounter circumstances.
Table: Battle Values Character Enemy Modifier Battle Value Worth Archetype level 2 * level Character is armed with... A Simple Melee Weapon 1 An Archaic Melee Weapon 2 An Exotic Melee Weapon 4 An Improvised Weapon 7 A Single Shot Firearm 1

Completing an objective in 1-10, Depending on combat the objective. 1 These Bonuses stack for multiple firing modes for a firearm
Heroic Actions and Objectives
Heroic actions come in many forms, but generally they encompass a character putting themselves in danger for a noble cause, weather that be retrieve an important piece of equipment or dragging a disabled comrade out of the line of fire. The GM can gauge the amount of risk and grant the battle value appropriately.
Hostile Environments
A Hostile environment is an environment that does not promote itself for combat, that can possess anything from distractions to an actively hostile environment such as land mines . An example of a slightly hostile environment would be fighting out on populated city streets. A Moderately hostile environment would be fighting in a densely populated mall. An example of a Severely Hostile environment would be fighting in the middle of a sandstorm. An example of an extremely hostile environment would be fighting in the middle of an active warzone.
Formula for Calculating XP
There are two forms of experience points: Party experience and personal experience. Party experience is given to all characters who participated in the battle, what they learn from being in combat. Personal experience is given atop party experience, to each character for their individual acts in the combat. Calculating the Party XP: 1d2 * 100 per 1 BV of the opposing force.( An opposing force with a total BV of 10 would roll 10d2 * 100 XP)
Calculating Personal XP: Defeated Enemy's BV * 50 + any applicable actions. Calculating an actions XP: Action BV * 200
Assisting It's often that players will work together and assist one another with defeating enemies, using healing aids one one another, and even pulling a friend out of the fire or executing combos. When two or more characters assist one another in an action that would gain them XP, they both receive the personal XP in it's entirety.
Environments
Darkness and Light It’s a rare mission that doesn’t end up in the dark somewhere, and heroes need a way to see. See Table: Light Sources for the radius that a light source illuminates and how long it lasts. The light sources listed are for light being broadcast in a circle from their origin. Table: Light Sources Item Light Duration Candle 10 feet 12 hours Torch 20 feet 2 hours Halogen lantern 40 feet 24 hours Match 10 feet 1 round Lighter 10 feet 1 hour Road Flare 40 feet 1 hour Chemical Light Stick 10 feet 6 hours
Heat and Cold Heat and cold deal damage that cannot be recovered until the character counteracts or escapes the inclement temperature. As soon as the character suffers any damage from heat or cold, they are considered fatigued. A character not properly equipped to counteract the heat or cold must attempt a Fortitude saving throw each hour (DC 15, +1 for each previous check). Failure means that the character loses 1d4 hit points. Heavy clothing or armor provides a -4 penalty on saves against heat but grants a +4 equipment bonus on saves against cold. Searing heat or bitter cold (desert or arctic conditions) forces a character to make a Fortitude save every 10 minutes. Failure means that the character loses 1d6 hit points. Appropriate clothing can modify the save, as noted above.
Catching on Fire Heroes exposed to open flames might find their clothes, hair, or equipment on fire. Heroes at risk of catching fire are allowed a Reflex saving throw (DC 15) to avoid this fate. If a hero’s clothes or hair catch fire, they take 1d4 points of damage immediately. In each subsequent round, the burning hero must make another Reflex saving throw. Failure means they take another 1d4 points of damage that round. Success means that the fire has gone out. (That is, once the character succeeds at the saving throw, they are no longer on fire.) A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse him or herself. If no body of water is at hand, rolling on the ground or smothering the fire with blankets or the like permits the hero another save with a +4 bonus.
Starvation and Thirst Sometimes heroes might find themselves without food and water. In normal climates, heroes need at least 1/2 gallon of fluids and about 1/4 pound of decent food per day to avoid the threat of starvation. In very hot climates, heroes need two or three times as much water to avoid dehydration. A character can go without water for one day plus a number of hours equal to their Constitution score. After this, the character must make a Constitution check each hour (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) or take 1d6 points of Core HP damage. A character can go without food for three days, in growing discomfort. After this, the character must make a Constitution check each day (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) or sustain 1d3 points of Core HP damage. Damage from thirst or starvation cannot be recovered until the hero receives water or food, as needed.
Suffocation and Drowning A character in an airless environment (underwater, vacuum) can hold their breath for a number of rounds equal to their Constitution score. After this period of time, the character must make a Constitution check (DC 10) every round to continue holding their breath. Each round, the DC of the Constitution check increases by 1. When the character fails one of these Constitution checks, they begin to suffocate or drown. In the next round, the character falls unconscious with 0 hit points. In the following round, the character drops to -1 hit points and is dying. In the third round after failing the check, the character dies of suffocation or drowning. Smoke Characters breathing heavy smoke or similar toxic gases must make a Constitution check (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) each round or spend that round choking and coughing. Characters who choke for 2 consecutive rounds take 1d6 points of damage. Smoke also obscures vision, giving one-half concealment (20% miss chance) to characters within it.
Strangulation When a character is strangled by an instrument or an attacker, use the rules below. A character can strangle or choke a target of the same size category or one size category larger or smaller. The strangling attempt incurs an attack of opportunity. To begin the choke, the attacker must succeed at an opposed grapple check. If the grapple succeeds, the attacker can choose to deal normal unarmed damage as well as choke the target. The target can hold his of her breath for a number of rounds equal to their Constitution score. After this period of time, the target must make a Constitution check (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) every round to continue holding their breath. The target begins to suffocate on a failed check (see Suffocation and Drowning). If at any time the target breaks free or slips free of the grapple, the stranglehold is broken (although any damage that was dealt remains). Note that a grappled target who is not pinned can use a melee attack to strangle their attacker.
Falling A character takes 1d6 points of damage for every 10 feet of a fall, to a maximum of 100d6 points. If the character succeeds on a Reflex saving throw (DC 10, +1 for each 10 feet fallen), this damage is halved. If the saving throw fails, full damage is applied. A character can make an Acrobatics check (DC 15) to treat a fall as if it were 10 feet shorter when determining the damage and Reflex saving throw DC required by the fall.
Falling Objects Objects that fall upon characters (or creatures or vehicles) deal damage based on their size and the distance fallen, as noted on Table: Damage from Falling Objects. Objects deal the initial damage given in Table: Damage from Falling Objects if they fall 10 feet or less. An object deals an additional 1d6 points of damage for every 10- foot increment it falls beyond the first (to a maximum of 200d6 points of damage). Objects of Fine size are too small to deal damage, regardless of the distance fallen. A successful Reflex save indicates that the target takes half damage. The size of the falling object determines the save DC. If the save fails by 10 or more, and the object is at least three size categories larger than the character, the character is pinned under the fallen object. A pinned character cannot move but is not helpless. The character can make a Strength check to lift the object off him or herself or an Acrobatics check (DC 25) to get out from underneath. The GM can modify the DCs for these checks based on the circumstances.
Table: Damage from Falling Objects Object Size Examples Initial Reflex Save Strength Check Damage DC DC Fine Penny 0 n/a n/a Diminutive Paperweight 1 0 n/a Tiny Wrench 1d3 5 n/a Small Vase 1d4 10 5 Medium Briefcase 1d6 15 10 Large Garbage can 2d6 20 20 Huge Oil barrel 4d6 25 25 Gargantuan Piano 8d6 30 30 Colossal Vehicle 10d6 35 40 Poison When a character takes damage from an attack with a poisoned weapon, touches an item smeared with contact poison, consumes a poisonous substance, inhales a poisonous gas, or is otherwise poisoned, the character must make a Fortitude saving throw. If the character fails, they take the poison’s initial damage (usually ability damage). Even if the character succeeds, they typically face secondary damage 1 minute later. This secondary damage also requires a Fortitude saving throw to avoid.
Poisons are detailed in the Craft(chemical) skill description. Poisonous liquids are usually administered through injection or by application to a weapon. Poisonous gases must be inhaled to be effective. Poisonous solids are usually ingested with food or drink.
Perils of Using Poison A character has a 5% chance (roll a 1d100) to expose him or herself to a poison whenever the character applies it to a weapon or otherwise readies it for use. Additionally, a character who rolls a 1 on an attack roll with a poisoned weapon must succeed at a Reflex saving throw (DC 15) or accidentally poison him or herself with the weapon.
Poison Immunity Creatures with natural poison attacks are immune to their own poison. Nonliving creatures and creatures without metabolisms are immune to poison. Oozes and certain kinds of creatures are immune to poison, as detailed in their descriptions, though it is conceivable that a special poison could be synthesized specifically to harm them.
Disease When a character is exposed to a treatable disease, the character must make an immediate Fortitude saving throw. The victim must make this roll when they come into contact with an infectious carrier, touches an item smeared with diseased matter, consumes food or drink tainted with a disease, or suffers damage from a contaminated attack. If the character succeeds, the disease has no effect on them—the character’s immune system fights off the infection. If the character fails the save, they take damage after an incubation period; once per day thereafter, the character must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw to avoid secondary damage. Two successful saving throws in a row indicate that the character has fought off the disease and recovers, taking no more damage. The characteristics of some treatable diseases are summarized on Table: Diseases. Table: Diseases Disease Type Incubation Initial Damage Secondary Damage Period Anthrax Inhaled/Injected DC 16 1d2 days 1 Con 1d4 Con* Small pox Inhaled/Contact DC 15 2d4 days 1 Str and 1 Con 1d2 Str and 1d2 Con Pneumonia Inhaled DC 12 1d4 days 1 Str 1d3 Str and 1d3 Con Hantavirus Injected DC 14 1 day 1d2 Str 1d2 Str* and 1d2 Con* Necrotizing faciitis Contact DC 13 1d6 days 1 Con 1d3 Con* West Nile virus Injected DC 12 1d4 days 1 Dex and 1 1d2 Dex and 1d2 Con Con* Microanalyses Ingested DC 13 1 day 1 Str and 1 Dex 1 Str and 1d3 Dex Bubonic Plague Contact DC 17 1d6 days 1d3 Con 1d6 Con and 1d3 Str Cholera/Dysentery Ingested DC 14 1 day Sickened 1 Dex and 1 Str Food Poisoning Injested DC 15 1d4 days Sickened 1d2 Dex *If damage is sustained, make a second saving throw to avoid 1 point being permanently drained (instead of damaged). Type: The disease’s method of delivery—ingested, inhaled, or via an injection—and the DC needed to save. Most diseases that are inhaled can also be ingested (and vice versa).
Incubation Period: The amount of time before initial damage takes effect (if the victim fails their Fortitude save).
Initial Damage: The damage the victim takes after the incubation period.
Secondary Damage: The amount of damage the hero takes one day after taking initial damage, if they fail a second saving throw. This damage is taken each day the saving throw fails.
Acid Corrosive acids deal damage each round of exposure. The amount of damage varies depending on the acid’s strength, as noted on Table: Acid Damage.
Table: Acid Damage Acid Splash Total Strength Attack* Immersion* Mild 1d6 4d6 Potent 2d6 8d6 Concentrated 3d6 12d6 *Damage per round of exposure.
Acid damage from an attack reduces hit points. A character fully immersed in acid takes potentially more damage per round of exposure than a character splashed with acid. The fumes from most acids are inhaled poisons. Those who come within 5 feet of a large body of acid must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or take 1 point of temporary Constitution damage. A second save must succeed 1 minute later to avoid taking another 1d4 points of Constitution damage.
Electricity Electrical hazards come in many forms, including stun guns, downed power lines, and electric security fences. Table: Electricity Damage gives damage values for various electrical hazards based on relative voltage. A character can make a Fortitude saving throw to reduce the damage by half. If that character is grounded or is otherwise insulated from the current, a successful save indicates that no damage is suffered.

Conditions Summary
If more than one condition affects a character, apply them all. If certain effects can’t combine, apply the most severe effect. Ability Damaged The character has temporarily lost 1 or more ability score points. Lost points return at a rate of 1 per day unless noted otherwise by the condition dealing the damage. A character with Strength 0 falls to the ground and is helpless. A character with Dexterity 0 is paralyzed. A character with Constitution 0 is dead. A character with Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma 0 is unconscious. Ability damages different from penalties to ability scores, which go away when the conditions causing them go away.
Ability Drained The character has permanently lost 1 or more ability score points. The character can regain drained points only through rest. A character with Strength 0 falls to the ground and is helpless. A character with Dexterity 0 is paralyzed. A character with Constitution 0 is dead. A character with Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma 0 is unconscious. Blinded The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to Defense , loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any), Movement cost is doubled, and takes a -4 penalty on perception checks and on most Strength- and Dexterity- based skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and some perception checks ) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
Blown Away Depending on its size, a creature can be blown away by winds of high velocity. A creature on the ground that is blown away is knocked down and rolls 1d4 × 10 feet, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet. A flying creature that is blown away is blown back 2d6 × 10 feet and takes 2d6 points of nonlethal damage due to battering and buffering.
Confused A confused character’s actions are determined by rolling d% at the beginning of his turn: 01-10, attack target with melee or ranged weapons (or close with target if attacking is not possible); 11-20, act normally; 21-50, do nothing but babble incoherently; 51-70, flee away from target at top possible speed; 71-100, attack nearest creature. A confused character who can’t carry out the indicated action does nothing but babble incoherently. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking a confused character. Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes. A confused character does not make attacks of opportunity against any creature that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked).
Cowering The character is frozen in fear and can take no actions. A cowering character takes a -2 penalty to Defense and loses their Dexterity bonus (if any).
Dazed The creature is unable to act normally. A dazed creature can take no actions, but has no penalty to Defense. A dazed condition typically lasts 1 round.
Dazzled The creature is unable to see well because of over stimulation of the eyes. A dazzled creature takes a -1 penalty on attack rolls, and perception checks that use sight. Dead The character’s hit points are reduced to -10, his Constitution drops to 0, or he is killed outright by a effect. The character’s soul/aura/nothing leaves his body. Dead characters cannot benefit from normal healing. A dead body decays normally unless preserved.
Deafened A deafened character cannot hear. She takes a -4 penalty on initiative checks and automatically fails Perception checks that involve hearing. Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them. Disabled A character with 0 hit points, or one who has negative hit points but has become stable and conscious, is disabled. The character can only spend 5 Combat Points. Performing any action the game master deems strenuous deals 1 point of damage after the completion of the act. Unless the action increased the disabled character’s hit points, they are now in negative hit points and dying. A disabled character with negative hit points recovers hit points naturally if they are being helped. Otherwise, each day they have a 10% chance to start recovering hit points naturally (starting with that day); otherwise, she loses 1 hit point. Once an unaided character starts recovering hit points naturally, she is no longer in danger of losing hit points (even if their current hit points are negative).
Dying A dying character is unconscious and near death. They have -1 to -9 current hit points. A dying character can take no actions and is unconscious. At the end of each round (starting with the round in which the character dropped below 0 hit points), the character rolls a fortitute save(DC20) to see whether they become stable. If they do not, they lose 1 hit point. If a dying character reaches -10 hit points, they are dead.
Energy Drained The character gains one or more negative levels, which might permanently drain the character’s levels. If the subject has at least as many negative levels as Hit Dice, he dies. Each negative level gives a creature the following penalties: -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks; loss of 5 hit points; and -1 to effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of special abilities).
Entangled The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at twice the combat point cost, and takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity.
Exhausted An exhausted character moves at twice the combat point cost and takes a -6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. After 1 hour of complete rest, an exhausted character becomes fatigued. A fatigued character becomes exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause fatigue
Fatigued A fatigued character takes a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued. Flat-Footed A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any) and cannot make attacks of opportunity. Frightened A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature can use special abilities, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape. Frightened is like shaken, except that the creature must flee if possible. Panicked is a more extreme state of fear.
Grappling Engaged in wrestling or some other form of hand-to-hand struggle with one or more attackers. A grappling character can undertake only a limited number of actions. He does not threaten any squares, and loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any) against opponents he isn’t grappling. See Grapple.
Helpless A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent’s mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (-5 modifier). Melee attacks against a helpless target get a +4 bonus (equivalent to attacking a prone target). Ranged attacks receives no special bonus against helpless targets. An enemy can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace to a helpless foe. An enemy can also use a bow or crossbow, provided he is adjacent to the target. The attacker automatically hits and scores a critical strike. If the defender survives, he must make a Fortitude save(DC 10 + damage dealt) or die. Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity. Creatures that are immune to critical strikes do not take critical damage, nor do they need to make Fortitude saves to avoid being killed by a coup de grace.
Incorporeal Having no physical body. Incorporeal creatures are immune to all standard attack forms. They can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, elemental damages(Such as concussive, cold, electricity or fire), or supernatural effects.
Inebriated Drunken, and consumed too much alcohol. An inebriated character takes a -4 on all attack rolls, and their Combat Point Cost to Move is doubled.
Invisible Visually undetectable. An invisible creature gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls against sighted opponents, and ignores its opponents’ Dexterity bonuses to Defense (if any).
Knocked Down Depending on their size, creatures can be knocked down by winds of high velocity. Creatures on the ground are knocked prone by the force of the wind. Flying creatures are instead blown back 1d6 × 10 feet.
Nauseated Experiencing stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to spend Combat Points on attacks, speaking, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can spend Combat Points on are move actions. Panicked A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can’t take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a -2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers. A panicked creature can use special abilities to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape. Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than shaken or frightened.
Paralyzed A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions. A winged creature flying in the air at the time that it becomes paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls. A paralyzed swimmer can’t swim and may drown. A creature can move through a space occupied by a paralyzed creature—ally or not. Each square occupied by a paralyzed creature, however, counts as 2 squares.
Pinned Held immobile (but not helpless) in a grapple.
Prone The character is on the ground. An attacker who is prone has a -4 penalty on melee attack rolls , but a +2 to ranged attack rolls. A defender who is prone gains a +4 bonus to Defense against ranged attacks, but takes a -4 penalty to defense against melee attacks.
Rattled A rattled character is visibly disturbed, and can barely function. A rattled character takes a -4 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.
Shaken A shaken character takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened , rattled or panicked, but worse than unnerved.
Sickened The character takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, melee weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.
Stable A character who was dying but who has stopped losing hit points and still has negative hit points is stable. The character is no longer dying, but is still unconscious. If the character has become stable because of aid from another character (such as a Treat injury check), then the character no longer loses hit points. He has a 10% chance each hour of becoming conscious and disabled(even though his hit points are still negative). If the character became stable on his own and hasn’t had help, he is still at risk of losing hit points. Each hour, he has a 10% chance of becoming conscious and disabled. Otherwise he loses 1 hit point.
Stunned A stunned creature drops everything held, can't spend any Combat Points, takes a -2 penalty to Defense, and loses his Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any).
Unconscious Knocked out and helpless. Unconsciousness can result from having current hit points between -1 and -9, or from losing all hit points due to a non-lethal attack. Unnerved An unnerved character has lost their demeanor. They take a -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Unnerved is a less severe state of fear than shaken, frightened or panicked.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Ability Score Reduction (Su): Some attacks reduce an opponent’s score in one or more abilities. This loss can be permanent or temporary
Permanent Ability Drain: This effect permanently reduces a living opponent’s ability score when the creature hits with a melee attack. The creature’s descriptive text gives the ability and the amount drained. If an attack that causes permanent ability drain scores a critical strike, it drains twice the given amount (if the damage is expressed as a die range, roll two dice). A draining creature heals 5 points of damage (10 on a critical strike) whenever it drains an ability score no matter how many points it drains. If the amount of healing is more than the damage the creature has taken, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. Some ability drain attacks allow a Fortitude save with a DC of 10 +1/2 draining creature’s HD + draining creature’s Charisma modifier (the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). If no saving throw is mentioned, none is allowed.
Temporary Ability Damage: This attack damages an opponent’s ability score. The creature’s descriptive text gives the ability and the amount of damage. If an attack that causes ability damage scores a critical strike, it deals twice the given amount (if the damage is expressed as a die range, roll two dice). Temporary ability damage returns at the rate of 1 point per day.
Blindsight (Ex): Using nonvisual senses, such as sensitivity to vibrations, scent, acute hearing, or echolocation, the creature maneuvers and fights as well as a sighted creature. Invisibility and darkness are irrelevant. The ability’s range is specified in the creature’s descriptive text. The creature usually does not need to make Perception checks to notice creatures within range of its blindsight ability.
Constrict (Ex): The creature crushes the opponent, dealing bludgeoning damage, after making a successful grapple check. The amount of damage is given in the creature’s entry. If the creature also has the improved grab ability (see below), it deals constriction damage in addition to damage dealt by the weapon used to grab.
Damage Reduction (Su): The creature ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective). The creature takes normal damage from energy attacks , and supernatural abilities. The entry indicates the amount of damage ignored and the type of weapon that negates the ability. Any weapon more powerful than the type listed in the note also negates the ability. For purposes of harming other creatures with damage reduction, a creature’s natural weapons count as the type that ignores its own innate damage reduction. The amount of damage reduction is irrelevant.
Darkvision (Ex): The creature can see in total darkness, out to the specified range (usually 60 feet). Darkvision is black-and-white only, but is otherwise like normal light. Fast Healing (Ex): The creature regains hit points at an exceptionally fast rate, usually 1 or more hit points per round. Fast healing stops working when a creature is reduced to -10 hp or fewer. Except as noted here, fast healing works just like natural healing. Fast healing doesn’t provide any benefit against attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage. Fast healing also doesn’t restore hit points lost to starvation, thirst, or suffocation, and it doesn’t allow a creature to regrow or reattach severed body parts.
Improved Grab (Ex): If the creature hits with a melee weapon it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple , doing so without provoking attacks of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required. Unless otherwise stated, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. A Small or smaller creature using improved grab does not apply its grapple modifier to its grapple check.
The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks but is not considered grappled itself; the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to Defense, still threatens an area, and can use its remaining attacks against other opponents. A successful hold does not deal additional damage unless the creature also has the constrict ability (see above). If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage given for the attack that established the hold.
When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The creature is not considered grappled while it holds the opponent, so it still threatens adjacent squares and retains its Dexterity bonus. It can even move, provided it can drag the opponent’s weight.
Low-Light Vision (Ex): A creature with low-light vision can see twice as far as normal in poor lightning conditions. The creature can still distinguish colors, even in dim lighting.
Poison (Ex): Poison attacks deal initial damage, such as temporary ability damage (see above) or some other effect, to the opponent on a failed Fortitude save. Unless otherwise noted, another saving throw is required 1 minute later (regardless of the first save’s result) to avoid secondary damage. The Fortitude save against poison has a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 poisoning creature’s HD + poisoning creature’s Constitution modifier (the exact DC is given in the creature’s Species Traits). A successful save negates the damage.
Regeneration (Ex): This ability makes the creature impervious to most types of damage. Damage the creature is vulnerable to deals damage with every successful attack. Such damage can’t be regenerated. Regeneration doesn’t provide any benefit against attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage. Regeneration also doesn’t restore hit points lost to starvation, thirst, or suffocation. Regenerating creatures can regrow and reattach severed body parts. Severed parts that aren’t reattached wither and die normally. Regeneration continues to work no matter how low the creature’s hit points drop, restoring lost hit points from any damage other than from attack forms the creature is specially vulnerable to. Scent (Ex): This ability allows the creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights. The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents can be detected at triple normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move or attack to note the direction of the scent. If it moves within 5 feet of the source, the creature can pinpoint that source. A creature with the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on the strength of the quarry’s odor, the number of creatures being tracked, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Swallow Whole (Ex): If the creature begins its turn with an opponent held in its mouth (see improved grab, above), it can attempt a new grapple check (as though attempting to pin the opponent). If it succeeds, it swallows its opponent and deals bite damage. Unless noted otherwise, the opponent can be up to one size category smaller than the swallowing creature.
Being swallowed has various consequences depending on the creature, but a swallowed opponent is considered grappled, while the creature is not. A swallowed opponent can try to cut its way free with any light piercing or slashing weapon (the amount of cutting damage required to get free is noted in the creature’s descriptive text), or it can just try to escape the grapple. If the swallowed opponent chooses the latter course, success puts it back in the creature’s mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.
Trample (Ex): As an attack during its turn each round, the creature can run over an opponent at least one size category smaller than itself, entering the opponent’s fighting space to do so. The trample deals bludgeoning damage, and the creature’s descriptive text lists the amount. Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these incur a -4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflex saves for half damage. The save DC equals 10 + 1/2 trampling creature’s HD + trampling creature’s Strength modifier (the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). CREATURES
The creatures described in this section include mundane animals as well as fantastic creatures. A creature’s description often includes statistics for both the standard breed and an “improved” version that has levels in one or more archetypes.
Hit Dice and Hit Points A creature's type and size determine it's Hit Dice. A creature's Hit Dice is equivalent to it's level, it's rate of natural healing, and it's maximum ranks in a skill. A Creature's Hit Dice and Constitution modifier determine it's hit points. A creature's entry gives the creature's average hit points.
Unlike Characters, Creatures only have a single pool of hit points, and when lost, they die.
Initiative The creature's modifier on initiative checks.
Combat Point Score A creature's Combat Point Score is the amount it can do in one turn. If the creature has other modes of movement, these are given after the main entry.
Burrow: The Creature can tunnel through dirt, but not rock unless stated. Burrowing 2 cost Combat Points per 5 feet.
Climb: A creature with a climb ablility has the Athletics skill at no cost, and gains a +8 species bonus on athletics checks when climbing. The creature must make an Athletics check to climb any wall or slope with a DC greater than 0, but it can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened. The creature moves as normal while climbing. If it attempts an accelerated climb, it moves double the speed, and makes a single athletics check at a -5 penalty. Creatures cannot run while climbing. The Creature retains it's Dexterity bonus to Defense while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus on their attack rolls against the climbing creature.
Fly The creature can fly if carrying no more than a medium load. All fly abilities include a parenthetical indicating maneuverability. Flying cost the same amount as moving normally
Perfect: The creature can perform almost any aerial maneuver it wishes(Example: Hummingbird) Good: The Creature is agile in the air, but cannot change directions readily as one with perfect maneuverability(Example: Hawk) Poor: The creature flies as well as a very large bird(Example: Vulture) Clumsy: The creature can barely fly at all (Example: Sugar Glider)
Swim: A creature with a swim ability can move through water as normal without making an Athletic check. It gains a +8 species bonus on any swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. The creature always can choose to take 10, even if distracted or endangered when swimming. Creatures can sue the run action while swimming, provided they move in a straight line. Defense A Creature's defense includes a parenthetical mention of the modifiers contributing to it. The creatures “Touch” Defense(Discounting natural armor and other armor modifiers), and “Flat Footed” Defense(Discounting Dexterity bonus) are provided as well
Base attack Bonus (BAB) A Creature's base attack bonus does not include any modifiers. It is used to calculate the creatures Grapple modifier, as well as the maximum bonus on damage rolls for a creature using the power attack feat. A Creature's base attack bonus is derived by cross referencing the creature's hit dice and type on the Table :Creatures saves and Base Attack Bonuses
Grapple Modifier Whenever a Creature makes an opposed grapple check, apply this modifier to it's 3d6 Roll. The total modifier on grapple checked is BAB + Strength Modifier + Grapple Modifier. The Grapple modifier for creatures of various sizes are given on Table: Grapple Modifiers
Attack This bonus includes modifications for size and Strength(For Melee attacks) or Dexterity (For Ranged attacks). A creature with Weapon Finesse feat can use it's Dexterity modifier for it's Attack. A Creature's attack damage include it's full strength modifier(1.5 times it's Strength bonus)
Natural Weapons Natural weapons include teeth, claws, horns, and the like. The number of attacks along with weapon, attack bonus, and form of attack(Melee or Ranged), are provided in a creature's entry. Unless Noted, Natural weapons threaten critical strikes on a natural attack roll of 16-18.
Bite: The creature attacks with it's mouth, dealing piercing damage.
Claw or Rake: The creature rips with a sharp appendage, dealing slashing damage.
Gore: The creature speaks the opponent with an antler, horn or similar appendage, dealing piercing damage.
Slap or Slam: The creature batters opponents with an appendage, dealing bludgeoning damage.
Sting: The creature stabs with a stinger, dealing piercing damage. Stingers are often poisoned.
Fighting space Fighting space approximates the amount of space a creature needs to move and fight effectively, and how much space it occupies on grid of 5 foot by 5 foot squares. Reach A creature's reach is the distance at which it can strike targets with it's natural weapons without needing to adjust it's position on the grid. When measuring diagonally, every second square counts as two squares. The GM may may adjust the values in the table by -5 feet or +5 feet, at their discretion for fitting the creature. Creatures with a greater than normal reach can still strike creatures next to it. A Creature with a greater than normal reach usually receives an attack of opportunity against you if you approach it, because you enter a square it threatens before you can attack it. A creature with 0 foot reach much move into the fight space of it's target to attack it, provoking an attack of opportunity from the target as the creature enters the target's fighting space. Also, creatures with a 0 foot reach do not threaten the squares around them.
Saves A creature's Fortitude, Reflex, and Will Saving throw modifiers take into account the creatures' type, ability score, modifiers, feats, and any special qualities.

Anaconda, Giant Species Traits Constrict (Ex): A giant anaconda deals 1d6+16 points of bludgeoning damage with a successful grapple check against a target at least one size category smaller than itself. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the giant anaconda must hit an opponent at least one size category smaller than itself with either a bite or a tail slap attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically deals bite or tail slap damage each round that the hold is maintained, and it can constrict in the same round and attempt to swallow in the next round. If the giant anaconda wishes, it can continue to attack with its tail or its bite (not both) while it grapples with its body, but it takes a -20 penalty on all grapple checks if it does so. Scent (Ex): This ability allows a giant anaconda to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Skill Bonuses: A giant anaconda gains a +8 species bonus on Athletics and Acrobatics checks and a +4 species bonus on Stealth checks. Swallow Whole (Ex): If a giant anaconda begins its turn with an opponent one or more size categories smaller than itself held in its mouth, it can attempt a new grapple check as though trying to pin the opponent. If it succeeds, it swallows its opponent, automatically dealing bite damage. Once inside the giant anaconda, the opponent takes bludgeoning damage equal to the anaconda’s tail slap attack plus 1d6 points of acid damage per round from the monster’s stomach. A successful grapple check allows the swallowed creature to climb out of the stomach and return to the giant anaconda’s maw, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free. Alternatively, the swallowed creature can attack from inside the stomach using claws or a Small or Tiny slashing weapon. Dealing at least 30 points of damage to the stomach (Defense 18) in this way creates an opening large enough to permit escape. Once a single swallowed creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; thus, another swallowed creature must cut its own way out. A Huge giant anaconda’s stomach can hold 1 Large, 2 Medium- size, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, or 128 Diminutive or smaller opponents.

Man-’o-war, Giant Species Traits Attach (Ex): If a giant man-’o-war hits with a strand attack, the strand latches onto the opponent’s body. The attachment deals no damage, but the giant man-’o-war can then draw the opponent 20 feet closer to itself that round and each subsequent round thereafter that the opponent remains stuck. Once the creature is within 20 feet of the giant man-’o-war, the man-’o-war can draw it the remaining distance and bite (+4 melee) in that same round. The opponent can break free of a strand with a successful Athletics check (DC 20) or Strength check (DC 16). Alternatively, the opponent or an ally can try to sever a strand. A single attack with a slashing weapon that deals at least 10 points of damage severs a strand (Defense 18).

Strands (Ex): A giant man-’o-war lies in wait for prey by spreading out its long, sticky strands and floating along on the deep currents.

When something brushes one of the strands, all the rest of the strands contract to assist in pulling the prey toward the man-’o-war’s mouth.
Wavesense (Ex): A giant man-’o-war can automatically sense the location of any object or creature within 150 feet that is in contact

Monstrous Spider Monstrous spiders come in two general types: hunters and web spinners. Species Traits Monstrous spiders have the following traits. Combat Points: Hunting spiders are speedier than their web-spinning counterparts. Increase the Combat Points by 3. Poison (Ex): A monstrous spider injects poison into its victim with a successful bite. The victim must succeed on a Fortitude save or take the initial damage; a second Fortitude save must be made 1 minute later to negate the poison’s secondary damage. The DC of the Fortitude saves and the effects vary depending on the monstrous spider’s size, as shown on Table: Monstrous Spider Poison.
Table: Monstrous Spider Poison Spider Size Fort Save DC Initial/Secondary Damage Colossal 35 2d8 Str Gargantuan 31 2d6 Str Huge 22 1d8 Str Large 17 1d6 Str Medium 14 1d4 Str Small 11 1d3 Str Tiny 11 1d2 Str
Web (Ex): Monstrous spiders often wait in their webs or in trees, then lower themselves silently on silk strands and leap onto prey passing beneath. A single strand is strong enough to support the spider and one creature of the same size. Web-spinning spiders can cast a web eight times per day. Casting a web is a melee touch attack with a maximum range of 50 feet and a range increment of 10 feet, and the web is effective against targets up to one size category larger than the spider. The web anchors the target in place, allowing no movement. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Athletics check or burst it with a Strength check. Both are attack actions whose DCs are given in Table: Monstrous Spider Webs. Web-spinning spiders often create sheets of sticky webbing from 5 to 60 feet square, depending on the size of the spider. They usually position these sheets to snare flying creatures but can also try to trap prey on the ground. Approaching creatures must succeed on a Perception check (DC 20) to notice a web; otherwise they stumble into it and become trapped as though by a successful web attack. Attempts to escape or burst the webbing gain a +5 bonus if the trapped creature has something to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each 5-foot section has the hit points listed on below and damage reduction 5/fire. A monstrous spider can move across its own sheet web and can determine the exact location of any creature touching the web.

Skill Bonuses: Monstrous spiders receive a +4 species bonus on Stealth checks and a +8 species bonus on Perception checks. Hunting spiders receive a +6 species bonus on Athletics checks. Bonus Feat: Medium-size or smaller monstrous spiders gain the bonus feat Weapon Finesse (bite).

Robot Robots are manufactured, remote-controlled constructs powered by batteries. These highly useful machines come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can be fitted with tools or weapons. Species Traits Construct: Robots have the traits and immunities common to constructs. Combat Points: A robot’s Combat Point Score depends on its size and method of locomotion (bipedal, quadrupedal, tracked, or wheeled). The different speeds are given with each robot’s statistics (below). Attacks: A robot is not normally equipped with weapons. Robots fitted with arms or similar manipulators can attempt to grapple things, but only robots of Medium-size or larger can use their manipulators to deal damage. Skills: A character with four or more ranks in Technology Uses can program one or more ranks of a single skill into a robot, but never more ranks than the programmer has in the skill, or has access to; otherwise, the robot has no skills. Building a Robot Follow these two steps to create Small or Medium-size robots. 1. Purchase the Components: The wealth point cost for the components needed to construct a robot is based on its size category. Size Wealth Point Cost Small 100 Medium 200
2. Construct Frame: The robot’s body determines its size, shape, locomotion, and hit points. The DC of the required Craft (mechanical) check is set by the robot’s size. Size Craft (mechanical) DC Small 18 Medium 23 The crafter can add additional components, weapons, and armor plating to a robot. Refer to the table below to find the DC modifier for adding new components to a robot.
Components DC Modifier Frame Shape and Locomotion Articulated frame +5 External Components Accessory mount +1 Loading +2 mechanism Small kit +2 Searchlight +1 Armor Natural armor +2* bonus +2
*This component can be purchased a number of times equal to the robot’s size category (counted up from Diminutive).
Articulated Frame: This robot’s body is articulated so that it can move like a snake, slithering through narrow openings and navigating stairs with ease. A robot with this frame moves as fast as a bipedal robot, but it can also move through difficult terrain and small spaces without slowing. Accessory Mount: A robot with an accessory mount can be armed with a single weapon or accessory up to one size category larger than itself. Such a robot can fire a weapon using its normal attack modifier or via a remote, using the operator’s attack modifier with a -4 penalty. Alternatively, an accessory mount can hold a single grenade, or nearly any of the items on Table: General Equipment.
Loading Mechanism: A robot with a loading mechanism can reload a single weapon with a full-round action. The mechanism holds enough ammunition to reload the weapon three times, and it works with weapons that use box ammunition, speed-loaders (but not loose bullets or shells), a grenade launcher round, or some sort of fuel tank (such as a flamethrower). A robot can have multiple loading mechanisms, one for each weapon that it has mounted in its frame. kits: A robot can use a kit if it has the appropriate skill or can use the operator’s skill at a -2 penalty via remote control. Searchlight: A searchlight operates in the same manner as a battery flood spotlight.

Variable Size: See Table: Creature Sizes for attack and Defense modifiers based on size, as well as for a snake’s fighting space (assuming the creature is coiled) and reach. Improved Grab (Ex): Only constrictor snakes have this ability. To use this ability, a constrictor snake must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict (see below). See Improved Grab. Constrict (Ex): With a successful grapple check against a creature of its size or smaller, a constrictor snake deals damage equal to its bite damage. Poison (Ex): A viper injects venom with a successful bite. The victim must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of temporary Constitution damage; a second Fortitude save must be made 1 minute later to negate the venom’s secondary damage (same as the initial damage). The save DC is equal to 11 + 1/2 the snake’s Hit Dice + the snake’s Constitution modifier (DC 11 for a Tiny viper). Scent (Ex): This ability allows a snake to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. See Special Qualities for more information. Skill Bonuses: Snakes receive a +8 species bonus on Balance checks and a +4 species bonus on Stealth and Perception checks. Snakes apply either their Strength or Dexterity modifier, whichever is higher, to Athletics checks. Bonus Feat: Vipers gain the bonus feat Weapon Finesse (bite).

“Ordinaries” are non-heroic supporting characters and extras. Ordinaries are built using the six archetypes (Strong, Fast, Tough, Smart, Wise, and Charismatic) and have starting occupations, skills, and feats. As they gain levels, ordinaries increase their skill points, base attack bonus, and saving throw modifiers. However, ordinaries differ from heroes in three ways. An ordinary character has: • The standard starting ability score package • No Talents, or special abilities • No Ability focuses
Starting Ability Scores Ordinaries do not roll their ability scores. They start with the standard score package: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. The GM can assign the scores as they see fit. At 3rd level and 6th character level, an ordinary adds 1 point to one ability score.
Hit Points Just like heroes, Ordinaries receive the standard set hit points.
Archetype Features Ordinary characters do not gain talents or special abilities listed under each basic archetype, but do gain the bonus feats.
Children Children (newborns to age 11) are handled differently from other characters. They do not have archetypes or levels. They begin with the same ability score package as ordinaries (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8), but their ability scores are reduced as follows: -3 Str, -1 Dex, -3 Con, -1 Int, -1 Wis, -1 Cha. Children have 1d4 hit points plus their Constitution modifier (minimum 1 hit point). They have no skills, feats, or occupations. Their base attack bonus is +0,and they have a +0 modifier on all saving throws (plus any modifiers for high or low ability scores. Children have a +0 modifier to Defense and 10 Combat Points. Children have no effective attacks and should be treated as noncombatants. When a child turns 12, they are considered a young adult and takes their first level in one of the six archetypes. At that point, the character becomes an ordinary (or hero, in some cases).
Battle Value An ordinary character has a Battle Value equal to their character level -1. A 1st-level ordinary has a Battle Value of 1/2. Children have a Battle Value of 0, and heroes receive no experience points for “defeating” them.
Ordinary Archetypes This section provides game statistics for various ordinary character archetypes, built using each profession/archetype combination. This is by no means a definitive list, and the GM is allowed to change the level, equipment, or any other stats that they may feel is appropriate for their campaign. All characters presented are level 2.

Hit Points: Heroic supporting characters gain a set number of hit points, just as heroic player characters do. Archetype Features: Heroic supporting characters gain all the archetype features (talents, special abilities, and bonus feats) available to the six archetypes.
ALTERNATE RULES Hex Grid Tactical affairs such as movement are best handled on a grid, but the grid need not be a bunch of squares. This variant replaces the squares with hexagons. (Hex grid paper and mats are available at many hobby stores.)
The primary advantage of this variant is that it eliminates the “every other square counts double” rule for diagonal movement, because it eliminates diagonal movement. Characters simply move from hex to adjacent hex, changing direction as they like. To determine the distance between two hexagons, just count hexes by the shorter path (in most cases, there will be a number of equally short paths).
Using a hex-based grid changes relatively little about the game, but poses a mapping dilemma for the GM. Most buildings and dungeons are based on 90-degree and 45-degree corners, so superimposing a hex-based grid on a structure leaves the GM with many partial hexagons, not all of which are big enough for a Medium creature. Use this variant only if you’re comfortable adjudicating these partial spaces on the fly.
Depending on their size, creatures take up one or more hexagons on the grid, as shown in the accompanying diagram. Areas change to accommodate the hex grid; refer to the diagrams below.
Gridless Combat Tactical affairs such as movement are best handled on a grid, but for players who prefer the wargame type of movement, or who do not want to be tied to a grid-like movement, this variant rule gives them options.
The primary advantage of this variant is that it eliminates the grid and the issues that come with it, such as moving diagonally, and complicated aiming and throwing distances. It also makes creating organic scenes using props much easier. All distance is measured in a straight line.
5 feet in game is equivalent to 1 inch, and the recommended miniatures sizes is 22mm. It is highly recommended that a tape measure is on hand, and string and circular cutouts with 1 inch notations. All ranges are rounded up to the nearest inch, when needed.
Grenades, explosives, and any weapons with blast radius work as normal. The blast radius is calculated as a diameter.(a 5 ft blast radius will be a circle 1 inch across, a 10 ft radius will have a circle 2 inches across, etc). The diameter of the explosive must only touch the miniature in order for it to be affected. For the purpose of this variant rule, wounding radius is removed.
All creatures sized medium and less should be able to fit into a 1 inch diameter circle, Large creatures will fit into a 2 inch diameter circle, Huge creatures will fit into a 3 inch diameter circle, Gargantuan creatures will fit into a 4 inch diameter circle, and Colossal creatures will fit into a 5 inch or larger circle.
