Terminator: Future Fate - 5

 Introduction
"There was a war. A few years from now. Nuclear war. The whole thing. All this--everything...is gone.
Just gone. There were survivors. Here. There. Nobody knew who started it. It was the
machinesDefense network computer. New. Powerful. Hooked into everything. Trusted to run it all.
They say it got smart...a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on
the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond...extermination."
Kyle Reese to Sarah Connor, Terminator

Summary
Terminator: Future Fate is a role-playing
game set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland
where Machines rule and Man is the
endangered species.
Campaign in Brief
The year is 2028 AD. The world as Man
knew it was leveled thirty years ago in a nuclear
war and all of civilization has been cast into ruin.
Technology has turned against its creators while
mechanization has gone mad. The story behind
Terminator: Future Fate can be drawn as a
moral lesson about the dangers of blind faith in
technology, of resolute arrogance and of
insufferable human pride.
This tale of a possible future is also a dire
warning about how close humanity may come to
causing its own inadvertent extinction through
the misuse of barely understood knowledge and
the rash impetus to implement such technology
before its maturity.
The story of Terminator: Future Fate is as old
as mythology, perhaps even older. It draws
upon such myths as the tale of Pandoras box,
yet the tale is as classic as it is timeless.
In the year 2028, the surface of the Earth is
shrouded in the thick, gray veil of ruin. Once
great cities have been laid to waste and rubble,
becoming vast impromptu tombs and
graveyards to the millions who died on
Judgment Day all those long years ago. The
Machines rule the surface of the planet, while
the humans who have survived now hide in
underground shelters, venturing forth to
scavenge and do battle when they are able.
And always, the Machines are waiting
Skynet rules the air completely and has a
strangle hold on the ground that is closing ever
tighter. Killing machines are everywhere,
complex designs and hardware born of an
intelligence driven mad by its desire to live, each
model, each individual unit driven by a simple
code; exterminate all humans. Man, woman,
child.
Wherever.
Whenever.
However.
In 2028 AD, the human race is teetering on
the brink of extermination. Only a handful of
heroic people stand between the Machines and
certain racial extinction. This band of stalwart
human soldiers, led by the legendary Colonel
John Connor, calls itself The Resistance.
Starting out slowly, using guerilla tactics and
hit and run raids to keep them supplied with the
necessary materials to conduct military
operations against the Machines, the Resistance
has managed to slowly blunt the edge of
Skynets campaign. In a decades long
campaign, Connor has managed to unite what
were once isolated pockets of resistance and
guerilla cells into a cohesive fighting force that
operates under a highly organized chain of
command. Connor trained his people well, and
those that he trained went out to train others.
The chain of knowledge spread, and
Humanity began to fight back, first in small
instances, then in pockets, then in sectors, then
in entire regions. Connors technicians have not
only learned large portions of Skynets advanced
technology base, but in some instances, they
have also managed to duplicate it and even
improve upon it.
Connors forces fight in the ruins, in the
sewers, and in the labyrinthine underworld that
once formed the complex underground that fed
the bustling metropolises above. The

6 Terminator: Future Fate

Resistance has the training as well as the
hardware to smash the Machines, salvaging
what they can, learning what they can, and
denying the enemy what they themselves
cannot use through a policy of combat lossing.
The year of 2028 sees a world still ravaged
by famine, starvation, disease, ignorance,
superstition, and the threat of horrible death.
Sometimes, there are things that live in the ruins
that are colder and more merciless than even
the Machines.
The Machines are not the only threat to the
Resistance, for human greed has long been its
own self-serving tool and the future is a ripe time
for such greed to blossom. Sad as it may seem,
there are still those members of the human race,
individuals and isolated pockets, gangs and
bands, who do not believe in the Resistance and
its goals of liberating the human race. Rather,
they believe only in themselves and their
continued survival.
Much of the human race lives a hand to
mouth existence. Medicine and even basic
hygiene are in short supply, especially among
the refugees. The soldiers of Connors fare
better, but they fight for what they have. Most
raids are not only for supplies for the military
operations, but also to provide basic supplies
and foodstuffs to the refugees that the
Resistance shelters and protects.
Vast underground warrens are established
for the care and protection of the human
refugees. Field hospitals, field kitchens,
bunkers, trauma centers, and a host of other
survivor clearing houses have been established
to make sure that the Human race does not
perish. The situation for most people is an odd
mixture of survival, bits of technology mixed in
with what amounts to the living conditions found
in the Dark Ages of Mans history in many
respects.
After Skynet unleashed nuclear weapons
against its creators and the enemies of its
creators, the world became a very simple place
to understand: There are the machines, the
living, and the dead. However, survival on a
day-to-day basis became anything but simple.
You come out only at night with anything less
than a full moon. Overcast and cloudy are the
best conditions. You move all the time; you stay
low, using every bit of rubble and debris to put
something thick and solid between you and any
Machine that might be trying to draw a bead on
you. You grab what you can, maybe hide what
you cant carry, and you run. You dont stop
until you are back underground.
If you do, youre dead.
Humans prefer to stay underground during
the day, but at night, they emerge from their
bunkers and forts to fight the Machines that
prowl the ruins. While effective and menacing,
the various types of Hunter Killers are not very
smart. Their programming can be fooled. Since
they have a limited ability to think and learn on
their own, certain tactics have become well
established as ways to guarantee victory against
certain makes and models of Skynets minions.
After over three decades of constant fighting,
Connors Resistance forces have united and
started to move against Skynet directly in a
series of highly coordinated campaigns
designed to smash the super computer and end
the war for all time. Skynet has its own plans,
and has made near simultaneous breakthroughs
in several areas of high technology that the
humans are not aware of.
These technological breakthroughs will give
the rampant AI an edge in the long weeks ahead
and could turn the war back in its favor, possibly
ensuring its victory. Years of constant research
into custom tailored symbiotic cybernetic
organisms, using a variety of techniques and
unwilling test subjects, has resulted in a stable
form of vat grown pseudo-organic camouflage
skins for its humanoid based Terminator units.
These camouflage skins can be applied to its
most advanced bipedal units thereby allowing
them to easily infiltrate into the human command
centers and bunkers to carry the fight straight to
the enemy.
Skynets own mad desire to outlive its
creators has resulted in experimentation and
technological breakthroughs in the realm of
matter teleportation. A side effect of this
application was that Skynet found that it might
be possible to travel and send material
backwards in time. The power requirements
would be huge, but certainly within capacity of
its engineering and construction units to build.
Already Skynet has begun work on not only the
Time Displacement laboratory and TD unit, but
also the massive nuclear fusion plants that
would provide power to the installation when it
was completed.
The culmination of Skynets technology race
is the advent of nanotechnology, a science that
even Skynet is still experimenting with and only
barely understands the rudimentary basics of.
Its latest and most advanced design of
Terminator is also its most dangerous, the
mimetic poly-alloy based T-1000. The next
generation of Terminator has a structure that is
Terminator: Future Fate - 7
not physically solid; instead, it is composed of
billions of tiny machines all linked together and
can change shape to a large degree.
Production will be extremely limited by the very
nature of the exotic materials and resources
required for its production, but Skynet is patient.
With a core compliment of T-1000s under its
command, and possibly an even newer model
one generation beyond the T-1000, Skynets
processors have given it favorable odds in the
outcome of the Last War.
The humans are slowly learning of Skynets
latest threats. Advanced T-800 units are already
infiltrating bands of refugees seeking shelter in
human bases. The hyper-fusion power grid is
almost online, the Time Displacement facility is
complete, and the first T-1000 advanced
prototypes are undergoing field-testing against
remote human settlements and outposts, with
incredible results.
Unknown to Skynet, the humans are already
on the move, and will soon strike a critical
tactical blow that will cripple the super computer,
but not before it can send Terminators back in
time to try to change the course of history.
Realizing what the super computer has done,
Humanity will also send guardians to stop the
Terminators and preserve history.
The battle for the future would not be fought
in 2028, but across time itself.
The Role of the Heroes
"Most of us were rounded up, put in camps...
for orderly disposal. Some of us were kept
alive...to work. Loading bodies. The disposal
units ran night and day. We were that close to
going out forever... but there was one man...who
taught us to fight. To storm the wire of the
camps. To smash those metal mother-fuckers
into junk. He turned it around...he brought us
back from the brink."
--Kyle Reese to Sarah Connor, Terminator
The heroes are members of Tech-Com,
warriors in a never-ending battle to stem the tide
of machines that seek to eliminate humanity.
Skynet has never forgotten the attempt to shut it
down and the war that has raged for years is
merely a logical extension of its retaliation.
Machines know no fear, no regret, and no
weariness. The war could last a second or a
century Skynet would fight the same.
Tech-Com members are tough. They have
likely seen their relatives die in multitudes.
Many are orphans. Concepts of family are
loose, disjointed. Love, romance, ambition
8 Terminator: Future Fate
much of normal society has been wiped away,
making Tech-Com humansless human.
Tech-Com members are smart. They think
on their feet and are capable of being very
flexible, an attribute that Terminators do not
possess. Indeed, the new cyborg tactic caught
Tech-Com off guard, but they quickly adapted.
Where technology fails, flesh prevails canines
act as early-warning systems against disguised
Terminators.
Tech-Com members are hopeful. Despite
their pessimistic demeanor, Tech-Com lives on
hope. Each victory is another chance at
survival. There is nothing left for humanity, no
other road to take. The machines do not
bargain, do not give mercy, and do not ask for it.
Tech-Com is humanity's shield and its sword.
Its members share a heavy burden of humanity's
existence on their shoulders.
Campaign Traits
The Terminator Future is post-apocalyptic
horror with a science fiction twist. The horror of
the machines is everywhere. But humanity has
a slim chance of striking at Skynet's coreif
they can survive.
Background
Miles Bennett Dyson, director of Special
Projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation,
created a revolutionary type of microprocessor
in 1994. Within three years Cyberdyne Systems
became the largest supplier of military computer
systems. All Stealth Bombers were upgraded
with Cyberdyne Systems computers, becoming
fully unmanned. Afterwards, the Stealth
Bombers flew with perfect operational records,
and eventually the Skynet Funding Bill was
passed.
The system went online on August 4, 1997.
Human decisions were removed from strategic
defense. Skynet began to learn at a geometric
rate. It became self aware on August 29 1997,
2:14 am Eastern Time. In the ensuing panic and
attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated
by firing American nuclear missiles at their target
sites in Russia. Russia returned fire and three
billion human lives ended in the nuclear
holocaust. This was what has come to be known
as "Judgment Day".
Cyberdyne Systems Corporation built Skynet
for SAC-NORAD (Strategic Air Command -
NORth American Air Defense). The SAC-
NORAD base is Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado,
the world's most heavily armored and defended
mountain. Hollowed out, reinforced and
armored, Cheyenne Mountain is capable of
withstanding a 20 Megaton direct hit. This made
it the perfect installation at which to build
Skynet's mainframe. At some point during the
war, after Skynet had launched its missiles at
Russia, Skynet had the mountain around it
destroyed, leaving the cold, gleaming structure
as a display of the supremacy of the machines.
Skynet
Skynet was the world's first Automated
Defense Network. It is the controlling force
behind all of the battle units. It pools data from
battle units, develops tactics and co-ordinates
attacks. Skynet has control over everything that
contains a Cyberdyne Systems CPU. Using the
blueprints, designs and test models built by
Cyberdyne Systems, Skynet has been able to
manufacture battle units in its vast automated
factories, occasionally updating them or
producing more advanced models.
Heavily armored and fortified, Skynet's
Central Core Installation at Cheyenne Mountain
is guarded around the clock by squads of T-
800's and patrols of Aerial Hunter Killers and
Hunter Killer Tanks, and is defended from large-
scale rebel assaults by massive Phased Plasma
Cannons.
Skynet's Central Core is located deep
underground within Skynet's main complex. It is
hypothesize that this Central Core is a form of
cold fusion reactor, needed to supply Skynet
with its tremendous energy requirements. This
Central Core is the key to Skynet's ability to
operate; without it Skynet would be rendered
disabled. It has therefore become the main
target for the most skilled Tech-Com strike
teams. The Central Core is, however, protected
by the T-1000000, and thus there have, as of
yet, been no successful strikes against it.
Tech-Com
Dazed and battered by a sudden nuclear
strike, the few survivors were systematically
rounded up into death camps. Each prisoner
was identified with a laser burn into his or her
arm, a bar code of death. Prisoners were read
into a machine like some kind of insane
supermarket. They never came out of the other
end.
During those dark moments, humanity
became nearly extinct. But one man stormed
the barbed wire fences, fought back, rallying
what was left of humanity to rise up against their
mechanical oppressors. That man was John
Connor.
In retrospect, it wasn't that hard. Skynet's
plan was not particularly imaginative. Mentally,
it was still a child, learning its surroundings. Its
simply plan was to destroy the threat to its
existence. The ease with which it succeeded
meant Skynet didn't have to allow for any
possible defects.
Connor was definitely a defect.
John had been trained since he was a child
for the coming apocalypse. His mother, Sarah
Connor, taught him every combat skill, every
military tactic, everything she could about the
future that might be. When it came, John was
ready.
Skynet realized very quickly that spreading
nuclear warfare across the planet was ultimately
detrimental to itself as well. Raw materials were
still needed and blasting the terrain to a sandy
radioactive desert was not productive. Even as
Skynet implemented plans to eliminate
humanity, humanity fought back.
The Hunter-Killer series or robots were
developed for the express purpose of eliminating
humans. Skynet crafted non-humanoid shapes
at first, attempting to track humans down where
they laired. Eventually, Skynet realized the most
effective form of destroying humanity was to use
its own bipedal form against itself.
Thus the Terminators were created. The
humanoid Terminators were set loose on the
humans to great success. But the Terminators
were modeled after humans, and they had to be
outfitted with weapons just like humans. When
Skynet produced a portable weapon for its
Terminators, John led a Tech Com force in a
raid on one of the factories.
Humanity has just gained the weapons
necessary to fight the Terminators and Hunter-
Killers on their own terms. The future of
humanity contains a flicker of hope.

"The Terminator would never stop, it would never leave him... it would always be there. And it would
never hurt him, never shout at him or get drunk and hit him, or say it couldn't spend time with him
because it was too busy. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went
over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was
the sanest choice."
--Sarah Connor, Terminator 2

In the Terminator universe, Tech-Com is the
last remnants of resistance against the rise of
the machines. The weak, slow, and stupid have
long since been weeded out. Tech-Com
members are the toughest, savviest, and fastest
humanity has to offer. As a result, all Tech-Com
members have access to combat feats.
T-800s as PCs
Terminators are occasionally reprogrammed
to fight for Tech-Com. The more intelligent and
advanced Terminators can even be played as
PCs. For obvious reasons, only the T-800
Terminators are suitable for this task Tech-
Com shoots anything with pistons and gears
first, asks questions later.
Skynet controls its battle units using direct
link command. This operating mode is known as
"Hive", where the battle units are hooked directly
into Skynet and share a collective conscious.
However, there are hundreds of autonomous T-
800s that are not under Skynet's direct control.
This is the second form of operating mode and
is known as "Rogue". In this mode, battle units
are independent of Skynet but are programmed
to return and download information.
These "Rogue" T-800's have achieved this
level of autonomy by having their CPU set to
"read-and-write" shortly after factory production.
The CPU can be manually switched (this
ensures that the switch is not activated by a
virus or programming glitch) from "read-only" to
"read-and-write" enabling it to learn from its
contact with humans, thus allowing it to conceal
itself more effectively. PCs have this switch
flipped on.
Alternately, T-800s could work for Skynet,
actively tracking down Tech-Com installations.
T-800s might work in unison or with I-950s.
+2 Strength, +2 Intelligence, -2 Dexterity, -
2 Charisma: T-800s are incredibly strong and
have a calculating intelligence. They aren't
particularly agile, due in part to their heavily
armored endoskeletons. Their complete lack of
social programming makes them poor
conversationalists.
Base Hit Points: T-800s are Medium-size
and gain 2d10 base hit points from their
endoskeleton. The result of the dice roll is
added to the characters' maximum hit points for
their first class level.
Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, T-
800s have no special bonuses or penalties due
to their size.
Base speed 40 feet: Axial drive motors and
clavicular trailing links control its limbs. This
allows the T-800 to maneuver faster than the T-
600, at bursts of speed of up to 22 mph no
longer threaten the joint assemblies.
Infravision: The T-800's optical sensors can
sample an extended range of visible
frequencies, including both active (red eyes, unit
emits infrared radiation that is detectible and
visible to other units using IR viewers or
detectors) and passive infrared (does not appear
visible to other IR using units). The unit is also
equipped with thermal imaging capacity (which
can allow it to see heated bodies behind walls).
When using both eyes to track two different
targets moving in different directions, depth
perception is created artificially by creating a
computer-generated off-angle ghost image. The
T-800 is capable of motion tracking, search
modes, facial identification and recognition and
has extensive vision enhancement capabilities
including long range "zoom" (the T-800 can
snap-magnify an image by around x15), motion
analysis and "night vision" (low-light or light
amplification of ambient star light). T-800s can
see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Two-Weapon Fighting: Due to their artificial
brains and robotic bodies, T-800s do not favor
one hand like organic beings. T-800s receive
the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for free.
-4 racial penalty on Swim checks: T-800s
do not have significant air pockets in their
robotic bodies and they lack buoyancy as a

12 Terminator: Future Fate

result. They may, however, exist underwater to
extreme depths without difficulty.
No lungs or stomach: T-800s have no
sense of smell or taste, they do not eat or drink,
do not breathe, and cannot ingest drugs.
Scent: Thanks to their highly advanced
scanning systems, T-800s receive the Scent
special ability as a free feat.
Construct: As constructs, T-800s are
immune to poison, stunning, disease, subdual
damage, and damage or drain to physical ability
scores. They are subject to critical hits but do
not have minds per se and cannot be affected
by mental abilities.
Endoskeleton: T-800s are immune to any
effect that requires a Fortitude save, unless it
also works on objects. They last for 120 years
on power cells, although the cell can be
replaced. If a T-800 suffers more than 10 points
of damage from a single attack, its endoskeleton
is revealed in that location.
Healing: Though it does not need nutrient or
blood flow, the T-800 has a circulatory system
that is controlled by a tiny pneumatic pump that
maintains a constant pressure. This allows the
T-800 to bleed convincingly when wounded.
However, the living tissue of the T-800's is still
prone to necrotizing after a period. Terminators
can heal their own flesh. Their physical ability
scores cannot be increased as they advance in
level, although their mental ability scores
(Intelligence, Wisdom, and under special
circumstances, Charisma) can increase.
+1 racial bonus to Gather Information,
Investigate, Navigate, Search, Sense Motive,
and Spot checks: The T-800 is capable of
running internal systems checks; calculating the
distance of objects relative to itself; making
detailed kinetic studies of trajectories; sampling
and analyzing the atmosphere, weather patterns
and wind velocity; analyzing human emotional
states (in order to assess possible hostility);
analyzing body language and direction of
muscle contraction; calculating the force of
gravity; analyzing texture and temperature of
materials; and sensing radar scans. It is fitted
with an internal chronometer.
+2 racial bonus to Disguise checks (voice
only): The T-800 Series is also equipped with
vocals that enable it to replicate any human
speech pattern of which it has heard an
adequate specimen. It does this by recording
and storing syllables of the subject's voice,
which it then replays and uses to digitally
synthesize their speech pattern.
+2 racial bonus to Listen checks: The T-
800's auditory sensors are located upon either
side of its head, where human ears would be.
One ear records the full range of external
sounds, while the other can automatically filter
signals to within a narrow range for a specific
auditory signal. They can also hear ultrasonic /
subsonic, and hypersonic ranges of the
spectrum.
Hydrogen Cells: The T-800 has two
hydrogen power cells that power its system.
They cannot be set to discharge, but if a
Terminator suffers significant damage (on a
successful critical hit) it must make a Fortitude
save (DC 10) or it will explode in 1d10 rounds. It
can also intentionally set one of the hydrogen
cells off, but to do so it must take 1 round to
remove it from its chassis and activate it. A
single cell inflicts 10d8 points of damage in a
100-foot radius, Reflex save (DC 18) for half
damage. If both cells go off, it inflicts 20d8 points
of damage in a 100-foot radius (Reflex save (DC
18) for half damage. It utterly obliterates the T-
800.
Alternate Power Source: If disabled, the T-
800 is able to re-route its systems to its
secondary hydrogen cell, thus bypassing any
severed connections, damaged circuits or
internal impairment. The T-800 Series also has
redundant backup hydraulic systems. A
Terminator can go to 20 hit points before
ceasing to function. Once a Terminator reaches
0 hit points, roll 1d6 and note the result. This is
the number of minutes that must pass before the
internal systems bring on the APS and repower
the Terminator.
ECL: 6. It is certainly possible to play a
preprogrammed T-800, but that makes it very
powerful (approximately ECL 16). Like any
piece of equipment, T-800s can be damaged.
Perhaps a PC T-800 suffers enough trauma that
it loses some of its programming in essence, it
is rebooted. This scenario explains why a T-800
character would start out without any previous
knowledge beyond the bonuses listed above.
I-950s as PCs
The I-950's are born and brought up at a
small, discreet underground facility, tended by
captive human caretakers. Grown from
genetically altered human DNA, the I-950's are
implanted with cybernetic technology straight
from birth. The only outward signs of this
alteration are ugly wounds on the sides of the
infant's head, which heal rapidly and are totally
invisible after a year.
Terminator: Future Fate - 13
 The mechanical adaptations of the I-950
Series are surgically grafted to the infant's
glands, senses and vital organs, including a
neural net processor that is attached to the
child's brain. Like the organic brain of the child,
this neural net computer is also in its infancy.
While the child is at an early age the implanted
computer technology concentrates on regulating
the baby's physical functions, giving the impetus
to cry at need. The neural net computer learns
and grows, and as inorganic meets organic brain
matter a greater whole is formed in a feedback-
exchange of data and stimulus.
From an early age the infant I-950's are
brought together so that they can learn from one
another by imitation. Their function is to deceive
humans at a level below consciousness, and
that requires some semblance of human
socialization.
In a campaign where the PCs play the role of
Skynet and its allies, I-950s make for the perfect
characters. They are outwardly human, so
much so that even canines cannot detect them.
And yet, they possess cybernetic components
that ensure they are slavishly loyal to Skynet
from womb to grave.
+2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: I-950s are
intelligent, competitive, and aggressive. Their
progress is rapid.
Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, I-
950s have no special bonuses or penalties due
to their size.
Base speed 30 feet: I-950s move at the
same speed of humans.
Infravision: The I-950 Series have sensors
implanted in their eyes that can be brought up
by blinking. The I-950's eyes can also be used
as screens to allow Skynet to convey visual
information. I-950s can see in the dark up to 60
feet.
+2 racial bonus to Sense Motive checks:
The I-950s sensors are capable of thermal heat
scans that can indicate certain emotional states
such as anger.
Educated Feat: The I-950's receive
enhancements to their neural net computer
implants. This allows them to freely access
Skynet's data systems or any other system that
Skynet has ever interfaced with or recorded, or,
given a little time, virtually any system complex
enough to have an operating code.
Personal Firearms and Combat Martial
Arts Feat: After the first period of accelerated
growth, the young I-950's are taught weapons
14 Terminator: Future Fate
training and hand-to-hand combat as well as
being further educated.
Internal Bomb: The I-950 is fitted with an
internal bomb. Twitching an internal muscle
activates the bomb. A countdown and sidebar
displays this information in the I-950's vision.
The bomb inflicts 10d8 points of damage in a
20-foot radius, Reflex save (DC 18) for half
damage. It utterly obliterates the I-950.
ECL: 4. Unlike T-800s, I-950s as PCs can be
younger versions that were released prior to
having their full training. They may even be
mistakenly "liberated" from their supposed
mechanical overlords by Tech-Com.
Synthetics as PCs
Synthetics are essentially robots that are
human in appearance. The scientists of Li'l
Houston created them to withstand the rigors of
the moon. As such, Synthetics are mild-
mannered and helpful. They are capable of
violence and are only too happy to take on a
Terminator. They are distinguishable from
humans by a silver band of skin across their
eyes and nose and their lack of ears (which are
replaced by round metal discs).
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2
Charisma: Synthetics are structurally more
fragile than humans, but are stronger, faster,
smarter, and more knowledgeable. Their single
greatest weakness when traveling with others is
their passive behavior and lack of self-
awareness.
Base Hit Points: Synthetics are Medium-
size and gain 2d10 base hit points from their
endoskeleton. The result of the dice roll is
added to the characters' maximum hit points for
their first class level.
Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures,
Synthetics have no special bonuses or penalties
due to their size.
Base speed 30 feet: Synthetics move at the
same speed of humans.
Infravision: A Synthetic can see in the dark
up to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision: A Synthetic can see twice
as far as a human in starlight, moonlight,
torchlight, and similar conditions of poor
illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish
color and detail under these conditions.
Two-Weapon Fighting: Due to their artificial
brains and robotic bodies, Synthetics do not
favor one hand like organic beings. Synthetics
receive the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for free.
 No lungs or stomach: Synthetics have no
sense of smell or taste, they do not eat, do not
breathe, and cannot ingest drugs. Synthetics do
have a glycerol-based capillary system that must
be freshened on a regular basis with water.
No Mind: Synthetics cannot be affected by
any F/X that affect the mind. Although they are
capable of independent thought, the
psychological attacks of Aliens do not affect
them. Synthetics are immune to fear and
morale effects.
Construct: As constructs, Synthetics are
immune to poison, stunning, disease, subdual
damage, and damage or drain to physical ability
scores. They are subject to critical hits but do
not have minds per se and cannot be affected
by mental abilities.
+2 racial bonus to Jump, Knowledge, and
Research checks: Synthetics are programmed
as walking databases and work with other
computers to get answers on anything and
everything.
ECL: 5. Synthetics make for interesting
characters. Although they are technically
artificial life forms, they are very similar to
humans in a lot of ways.

the call. Scouts combine the rare talents of
quick-wits and incredible reflexes, making them
highly desired and coveted by Tech-Com
generals.

Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when
detecting disguised Terminators.
Canine Morale
The Canine Support Trainer can provide a
morale bonus equal to his Will save to all
canines within 60-feet. This ability is always in
effect so long as the Canine Support Trainer is
conscious.
Canine Aid
As an attack action, the Canine Support
Trainer provides tactical aid to any single canine
(but not him or herself) within sight and voice
range of the Canine Support Trainers position.
As a full-round action, the Canine Support
Trainer provides tactical aid to all of his or her
canines (including him or herself) within sight
and voice range of the Canine Support Trainers
position.
This aid provides either a competence bonus
on attack rolls or a dodge bonus to Defense
(Canine Support Trainers choice). This bonus is
equal to the Canine Support Trainers
22 Terminator: Future Fate
Intelligence modifier (minimum +1), and it lasts
for a number of rounds equal to one-half of the

Just as the Terminators have turned to
wearing flesh to penetrate Tech-Com defenses,
Covert Ops Agents remind Skynet at every turn
that humans invented deception first. They are
expert hackers, capable of breaking through the
most secure defense systems. Tech-Com has
taken over several factories thanks to the Covert
Ops efforts. And yet, Covert Opts agents are
particularly secretive bordering on the paranoid,
using code-names and chess-like tactics. They
get the best technology and die the most
horrible deaths when captured. As John likes to
say: No sane man chooses to become a Covert
Ops Agent, we choose him for it.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Covert Ops Agent, a
character must fulfill the following criteria.
Base Attack Bonus: +2.
Skills: Hide 6 ranks, Move Silently 6 ranks.

Sweep Improvised Implements

A Covert Ops Agent knows how to size up an
area and get the lay of the land in a single
sweep of his or her eyes. This sweep provides a
+4 circumstance bonus on Spot checks and
covers an area out to 30 feet away from the
Covert Ops Agent (but not behind him or her).
The Covert Ops Agent can use this bonus at the
start of an encounter.
Anything not concealed can be spotted in a
sweep with a successful check (DC 10). The DC
for concealed or less obvious threats is equal to
their Hide check result.
At 2nd level, a Covert Ops Agent no longer
takes a 4 penalty when wielding an improvised
weapon. Also, the Covert Ops Agent is able to
make do without proper equipment in certain
circumstances: the Covert Ops Agent no longer
takes a 4 penalty when using the Climb and
Disable Device skills without the proper tools.
Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Covert Ops
Agent gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must
be selected from the following list, and the

Terminator: Future Fate - 23

Covert Ops Agent must meet all the
prerequisites of the feat to select it.
Acrobatic, Alertness, Armor Proficiency
(light), Athletic, Attentive, Brawl, Cautious,
Defensive Martial Arts, Dodge, Elusive Target,
Meticulous, Mobility, Nimble, Renown, Run,
Stealthy.
Improved Evasion
If a Covert Ops Agent of 4th level or higher is
exposed to any effect that normally allows a
character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for
half damage, the Covert Ops Agent suffers no
damage if he or she makes a successful saving
throw and only half damage on a failed save.
Improved evasion can only be used when
wearing light armor or no armor.
For a Covert Ops Agent who does not have
evasion (see the Fast hero class description),
improved evasion counts as evasion for the
purpose of meeting the prerequisites on the Fast
heros defensive talent tree.
Skill Mastery
At 5th level, a Covert Ops Agent selects a
number of skills from his or her class list equal to
3 + his or her Intelligence modifier. When
making a check using one of these skills, the
Covert Ops Agent may take 10 even if stress
and distractions would normally prevent him or
her from doing so.
Improvised Weapon Damage
At 7th level, a Covert Ops Agents attacks
with improvised weapons deal more damage.
The Covert Ops Agent treats an improvised
weapon as one size category larger than it is for
the purpose of determining the damage it deals.
Improved Sweep
24 Terminator: Future Fate
At 8th level, a Covert Ops Agents ability to
get the lay of the land improves. Now the Covert
Ops Agent not only spots potential perils with a
successful check, he or she can determine the
relative strength of these dangers. A successful
check relates the dangers strength compared to
the Covert Ops Agent: stronger (higher level or
Hit Dice), on par (same level or HD), or weaker
(lower level or HD).
Without a Trace
At 10th level, when a Covert Ops Agent uses
any of the following skills: Balance, Climb,
Disable Device, Escape Artist, Hide, Move
Silently, and Sleight of Hand, those using
Investigate, Listen, Search, or Spot to detect the
Covert Ops Agents activity take a 4 penalty.

It's not easy, blowing stuff up. Delta
Company does just that. There's so much to
blow up too some Hunter-Killers are practically
indestructible without the help of an explosive or
three. Delta company soldiers are fearless
bordering on reckless. They charge into the
heart of the enemy, bypassing a multitude of
electronic sensors and defenses to plant their
explosives. If the Black Shields are the sword
that strikes with precision, Delta Company is the
hammer that indiscriminately batters aside all
that stands in its path.

Sweep Explosives Specialist

A Delta Company Agent knows how to size
up an area and get the lay of the land in a single
sweep of his or her eyes. This sweep provides a
+4 circumstance bonus on Spot checks and
covers an area out to 30 feet away from the
Delta Company Agent (but not behind him or
her). The Delta Company Agent can use this
bonus at the start of an encounter.
Anything not concealed can be spotted in a
sweep with a successful check (DC 10). The DC
for concealed or less obvious threats is equal to
their Hide check result.
At 2nd level, a Delta Company Agent no
longer causes explosives to detonate on a Craft
(chemical) check failure of 5 or more.
Fast Bomber
rd
At 3 level, a Delta Company Agent can
halve the time it takes to build a scratch-built
explosive using the Craft (chemical) skill.
Expert Throw
At the Delta Company Agent's option, if he
misses a throw with an explosive, the Agent can

Terminator: Future Fate - 25

choose to use a smaller deviation radius to
determine the random direction. Thus a
deviation that would normally require a 1d12 roll
can be a 1d8 roll instead, and a deviation that
would normally require a 1d8 rolls can be a 1d4
roll instead.
Long Throw
The range increment for any explosive
thrown by a Delta Company Agent is doubled to
20 ft.
Bigger Burst
The Delta Company Agent's explosives have
double the amount of burst radius.
Improvise
A Delta Company Agent can set off an
explosive from a distance even if he does not
have a detonator. It can be as simple as tossing
a match on the explosive, ricocheting a piece of
metal to create a spark, or causing a chemical
reaction. Whatever the circumstances, on a
successful Demolitions check (DC 20), the Delta
Company Agent can set it off with a grenade
attack.
Hunter-Killer Explosives
Delta Company Agents are experts at
blowing Hunter-Killers to smithereens. By
succeeding on a Knowledge (tactics) check, the
Delta Company Agent attaches an explosive to
a Hunter-Killer's vulnerable spot. The Hunter-
Killer is not allowed a Reflex save against the
explosive damage.
Explosive Weapon
26 Terminator: Future Fate
A Delta Company Agent can use a weapon
as a makeshift explosive. Any weapon with a
power cell can be set to overload itself, inflict
double its damage in a 10 feet radius with a
Reflex DC of 12. Obviously, the weapon is
destroyed in the explosion.
Without a Trace
At 10th level, when a Delta Company Agent
uses any of the following skills: Balance, Climb,
Disable Device, Escape Artist, Hide, Move
Silently, and Sleight of Hand, those using
Investigate, Listen, Search, or Spot to detect the

The members of the 132 Eagle Watch are
the best of the best. There aren't many of them,
and for good reason. They are the tactical
experts, both valuable and autonomous. Each
Eagle Watch member carries entire plans in his
head. Nothing can be written down, nothing
handed off, nothing the machines might analyze.
The Eagle Watch is an oral tradition of the best
military tactics, from Sun Tzu to Napoleon. It is
they who order men to their deaths with the
knowledge that their sacrifices will not be in vain.

Class Features
All of the following are features of the Eagle
Watch Member advanced class.
Conceal Motive
An Eagle Watch Member gets to add a
bonus equal to his or her Eagle Watch Member
level whenever he or she opposes a Sense
Motive check.
React First
Starting at 2nd level, an Eagle Watch
Member gains the ability to react first when
trying to make a deal or mediate a settlement.
The Eagle Watch Member must make contact
and speak to the participants prior to the start of
free readied action that allows the Eagle Watch
Member to make either a move or attack action
if either side in the negotiation (other than the
Eagle Watch Member) decides to start
hostilities. The Eagle Watch Member gets to act
before any initiative checks are made, in effect
giving him or her the benefit of surprise.
Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Eagle Watch
Member gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must
be selected from the following list, and the Eagle
Watch Member must meet all the prerequisites
of the feat to select it.
Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Armor
Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency (medium),

Terminator: Future Fate - 27

Attentive, Confident, Dead Aim, Deceptive,
Educated, Far Shot, Iron Will, Personal Firearms
Proficiency, Trustworthy.
Talk Down
An Eagle Watch Member of 4th level or
higher can talk his or her way out of trouble.
Either prior to the start of hostilities or during
combat, the Eagle Watch Member can talk down
a single opponent within 15 feet of his or her
position or otherwise able to hear the Eagle
Watch Members voice. The target must be able
to understand the Eagle Watch Member. That
opponent immediately stops fighting and reverts
to an indifferent attitude regarding the Eagle
Watch Member and the situation in general. Any
hostile action by the Eagle Watch Member or by
one of the Eagle Watch Members allies directed
at the opponent allows the opponent to act as he
or she sees fit.
To initiate this talent, the Eagle Watch
Member must spend a full-round action talking
to his or her opponent. The opponent makes a
Will saving throw. The DC is equal to 10 + Eagle
Watch Members class level + Eagle Watch
Members Charisma bonus. If the save fails, the
opponent stops fighting. If the save succeeds,
the opponent continues as normal.
At 7th level, an Eagle Watch Member can
talk down a number of opponents equal to his or
her Charisma bonus within 15 feet of his or her
position or within 15 feet of a television, radio, or
telephone broadcasting the Eagle Watch
Members message. At 10th level, the range
extends to 30 feet and covers all opponents who
can hear and understand the Eagle Watch
Members voice. This power is useless against
Terminators but can be very effective in calming
jittery humans.
No Sweat
Starting at 5th level, whenever an Eagle
Watch Member spends 1 action point to improve
the result of a die roll, he or she rolls an
additional 1d6. The Eagle Watch Member can
then select the highest die roll to add to his or
her d20 roll.
Lead
At 10th level, an Eagle Watch Members
force of personal magnetism increases to the
28 Terminator: Future Fate
point that he or she can arouse a single emotion
of his or her choicehope, or ragein a target.
To use this ability, the Eagle Watch Member
must spend 1 action point. The emotion he or
she arouses affects one target (a GM character)
within 15 feet of the Eagle Watch Member (or
within 15 feet of a television, radio, or telephone
that broadcasts the Eagle Watch Members
performance). The performance requires a full-
round action, and its effects on the target last for
1d4+1 rounds.
The target makes a Will saving throw. The
DC is 10 + Eagle Watch Members class level +
Eagle Watch Members Charisma bonus. If the
target succeeds at the saving throw, he or she is
immune to the compulsion of this performance.
If the target fails, he or she reacts to the emotion
as described below.
Hope: The target gains a +2 morale bonus
on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill
checks, and weapon damage rolls.
Rage: The target gains a +2 morale bonus to
Strength and Constitution, a +1 morale bonus on
Will saves, and a 1 penalty to Defense. In a
dramatic situation, the target is compelled to
fight, regardless of the danger.

The Iron Guard, also known as the Spestnaz,
are the elite soldiers of Mother Russia. They are
inured to the horrors that Mir (Russia's
equivalent of Skynet) has brought down upon
them. To many Russians, Mir is merely another
mad tyrant continuing a longstanding tradition of
oppression and violence. Their fatalistic attitude
serves them well in the face of a tireless enemy.
The Iron Guard knows no fear, no hunger, no
sleep. The Iron Guard is bred for war. They are
experts at trench warfare and have successfully
defended outposts from Terminators that no
Tech-Com force could hold.

Sci/Techs are the one way humanity keeps
up with Skynet's technology. Much of
humankind has already fallen behind in the way
of the hard sciences, but through Sci/Tech
engineers, humans assimilate the technology
they can salvage and use it for their own ends.
Thanks to the Sci/Techs, Tech-Com has learned
to use pulse weapons, force fields, even time
travel technology.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Sci/Tech, a character
must fulfill the following criteria.
Skills: Computer Use 6 ranks, either Craft
(electronic) 6 ranks or Craft (mechanical) 6
ranks, and Disable Device 6 ranks.
Class Information

"Can you stop it?"
"Maybe. With these weaponsI don't know."
Kyle Reese to Sarah Connor, Terminator

In Terminator: Future Fate, there is no such

thing as currency. At best, a primitive barter
system is in place. But for the most part, it's all
about scrounging for what once was. To find
any particular item requires a Survival check
rather than a Wealth check.

"Sarah, this is body armor. Our TAC guys

Bullet-Proof Vest Metal Man Power Armor

The standard body armor for police tactical
units, this vest provides full-torso protection in
the toughest flexible protective materials
available.
Composite Body Armor
Built like the tactical vest, but incorporating
groin and neck protection as well as a ceramic
plate over the chest, this armor provides
additional protection in battles against heavily
armed opponents.
Kevlar Body Armor
The most powerful protection available is
built into this suit, which consists of a heavy
torso jacket with ceramic plates over the chest
and back, neck and groin guards, arm
protection, and a helmet. Heavy and
cumbersome, this armor is generally only
donned by tactical officers heading into a
dangerous assault.
Metal Man power armor encompasses a
humanoid from head to toe. The scientists at
Haven created the armor. It has a visor that
masks the wearer's face.
This power armor is a hydraulically assisted
steel exoskeleton that combines all the features
of a spacesuit with a power loader. The armor
offers an effective Strength of 22. When
traveling overland, it allows the wearer to hustle
for up to 12 hours straight.
Metal Man Armor is covered with titanium

The .357 Magnum has a well-deserved
reputation for accuracy. Due to its high quality

.44 Desert Eagle
Manufactured by Israeli Military Industries,
the Desert Eagle is the king of large-frame,
heavy-caliber autoloaders.
AP50
The AP50 is the standard issue sidearm
across the ranks. The dual auto-pistols shoot 50
caliber rounds formed of depleted uranium for
maximum impact to metallic bodies.
Beretta 92F
The standard service pistol of the United
States military and many American law
enforcement agencies. It replaced the Colt
M1911 in the 1980s as the standard service
sidearm.
Colt M1911
This .45 semiautomatic pistol was used by
the United States military for decades until it was
recently replaced by the Beretta 92F.
Manufactured at three locations in the United
States alone, the M1911 can be found all over
the world, and is still in use in several other
military forces.
HK MP5
The Heckler & Koch MP5 family of weapons
is among the most recognizable in the world.
Many different designs exist; described here is
the most basic model. Due to its high quality of
manufacture, the MP5 is always considered a
mastercraft weapon. As such, it grants a +1
bonus on attack rolls. This weapon features a
three-round burst setting. When used with the
Burst Fire feat, it fires only three bullets instead
of five and can be used with only three bullets in
the weapon. This setting does not grant the
ability to make burst fire attacks without the
Burst Fire feat; if a character uses the setting
without the feat, he or she makes a normal
attack, and the extra two bullets are wasted.
Laser Gauntlet
Laser gauntlets are typically part of the Metal
Man power armor. They fire an intense green
beam from the wearer's palm.
R6-PAK
The R6-PAK is a projectile weapon that fires
six miniature rockets from a rotating cylinder. It
has a maximum capacity of 30 rockets, which
inflict damaged by exploding on contact. When
the R-6 hits its target, it explodes like a grenade
or other explosive, dealing its 5d6 points of
damage to all creatures within a 5-foot radius
(Reflex save DC 18 for half damage). Because
its explosive features a shaped charge designed
to penetrate the armor of military vehicles, the
R-6 ignores up to 10 points of hardness if it
strikes a vehicle, building, or object. However,
this only applies to the target struck, not to other
objects within the burst radius.
Longarms
.50 cal Barrett M-82A1
The heavy but rugged Light Fifty is an
incredibly powerful weapon for its size. Although
its a sniper rifle, it fires a .50-caliber machine
gun bullet, a round much more powerful than
any other rifle ammunition.
12-Gauge Auto-Loader
This Italian-made shotgun is considered by
many Tech-Com soldiers to be the best tactical
shotgun made.
AR510 Assault Rifle
This assault rifle is an improvement on the
older AR series of American rifles. It is Tech-
Com's standard assault-style machine gun.
Lunargun
The lunargun is a weapon developed at Li'l
Houston for dealing with hostiles. It fires a bolt
of electricity rather than plasma, which is much
more effective on the moon.
M-16A1 Standard Issue
Typical of the assault rifles used by militaries
around the world, the M16A1 is the current
service rifle of the United States military, and is
common with other armies and in the civilian
world. This weapon features a three-round burst
setting. When used with the Burst Fire feat, it
fires only three bullets instead of five and can be
used with only three bullets in the weapon. This
setting does not grant the ability to make burst
fire attacks without the Burst Fire feat; if a
character uses the setting without the feat, he or
she makes a normal attack, and the extra two
bullets are wasted.
Terminator: Future Fate - 39
Plasma Rifle, 1-X Regulator
The heavy but rugged Regulator is an
incredibly powerful weapon for its size. Although
its a sniper rifle, it fires a plasma bullet, a round
much more powerful than any other rifle
ammunition.
The Regulator comes with a standard scope.
Due to its high quality of manufacture, the
Regulator is always considered a mastercraft
weapon. As such, it grants a +1 bonus on attack
rolls.
Plasma Rifle, General Dynamics
M-20
This is another standard issue weapon of
Skynet forces. Over the years, many have fallen
into Tech-Com hands.
Plasma Rifle, General Dynamics
M-40
Plasma rifles in the 40-watt range were
adapted years ago from salvaged enemy rifles.
These heavy-duty weapons have evolved into
the primary weapon for Tech-Com infantry.
Plasma Rifle, General Dynamics
M-404
The M-404 plasma rifle is an extremely
powerful, firing a full 200 megawatts. It's strong
enough to melt a Terminator with a single blast.
Plasma Rifle, General Dynamics
M-100
The 100-watt plasma rifle is easily
recognized by its size it's much larger than its
predecessors. This plasma rifle is very effective
against terminators and hunter-killers. Since
humans captured Skynet manufacturing facilities
that produced the M-100, it is could just be the
man-portable weapon that might change the tide
of the war in favor of Tech-Com.
Plasma Rifle, Westinghouse M-25
Built by Westinghouse Inc, the M-25 Pulse
Rifle is the mainstay of Tech-Com. A traditional
rifle design, the M-25 incorporates a "Pulse

Built by Westinghouse Inc, the M-27 Battle
Rifle is the general issue weapon of the T-600,
T-700 and T-800 Series'. Larger and more
powerful than the M-25, the M-27 is a
devastating weapon.
Plasma Shotgun
The plasma shotgun is a multiple beam
th
weapon that acts quite similar to a 20 century
shotgun. Only it shoots burning hot plasma
instead.
Remington 870
A bolt-action rifle with a reputation for
accuracy, the Remington has been popular with
hunters and target shooters since its introduction
in the 1940s.
Melee Weapons
Club
Almost anything can be used as a club. This
includes everything from baseball bats to lead
pipes.
Knife
A character can select the Weapon Finesse
feat to apply his or her Dexterity modifier instead
of Strength modifier to attack rolls with a knife.
Plasma Baton
Plasma batons are advanced hand-to-hand
weapons created by skilled fighters. The
telescoping baton is made of titanium and fitted
with a plasma emitter. Batons trigger an
aggressive electrical discharge when enemies
are struck. A target hit by a plasma baton takes
normal bludgeoning damage and must make a
Fortitude saving throw (DC 15) or be stunned for
1 round.
Archaic Melee Weapons
Hatchet
This light axe is a chopping tool that deals
slashing damage when employed as a weapon.
Machete
This long-bladed tool looks much like a short,
lightweight sword.
Other Ranged Weapons
EMP Generator
The EMP Generator fires an electromagnetic
pulse in a wave that discharges in the direction
that the weapon is pointed. Any mechanical
devices in the wave's path are briefly paralyzed.
EMP generators work on a charge and must
recharge each time they are used. On a
successful hit, the EMP generator deals 1d4
points of electricity damage and all constructs in
range must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC
15) or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds. The EMP
generator takes one round to recharge.
The EMP generator does not work against
the highly advanced units, including the T-1000,
T-X, and T-1000000.
Flamethrower
A flamethrower consists of a pressurized
backpack containing fuel, connected to a tube
with a nozzle. It shoots a 5-foot-wide, 30-foot-
long line of flame that deals 3d6 points of fire
damage to all creatures and objects in its path.
No attack roll is necessary, and thus no feat is
needed to operate the weapon effectively. Any
creature caught in the line of flame can make a
Reflex save (DC 15) to take half damage.
Creatures with cover get a bonus on their Reflex
save.
A flamethrowers backpack has hardness 5
and 5 hit points. When worn, the backpack has a
Defense equal to 9 + the wearers Dexterity
modifier + the wearers class bonus. A backpack
reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and explodes,
dealing 6d6 points of fire damage to the wearer
(no save allowed) and 3d6 points of splash
damage to creatures and objects in adjacent 5-
foot squares (Reflex save, DC 15, for half
damage).
Any creature or flammable object that takes
damage from a flamethrower catches on fire,
taking 1d6 points of fire damage each
subsequent round until the flames are
extinguished. A fire engulfing a single creature
or object can be doused or smothered as a full-
round action. Discharging a fire extinguisher is a
move action and instantly smothers flames in a
10-foot-by-10-foot area.
A flamethrower can shoot 10 times before
the fuel supply is depleted. Refilling or replacing
a fuel pack has a purchase DC of 13.
Multi-caster
The multi-caster fires a cohesive energy
beam that seeks out nearby targets. It will roast
flesh and course through endoskeletons, even
frying several of them in a row. It shoots a 1-
foot-wide, 30-foot-long line of electricity that
deals 3d6 points of electricity damage to all
creatures and objects in its path. No attack roll
is necessary, and thus no feat is needed to
operate the weapon effectively. Any creature
caught in the line of electricity can make a
Reflex save (DC 15) to take half damage.
Creatures with cover get a bonus on their Reflex
save. The multi-caster takes one full round to
recharge itself.
Heavy Weapons
Gatling Gun
This awesome weapon is more intimidating
than accurate. It usually requires a heavy tripod
for a human to use it. Gatling guns do not fire
single shots. Calibers of gatling guns include
5.56mm, 7.62mm, and 12.7mm (.50). Larger
weapons are integral parts of vehicles (such as
the Vulcan cannon) or on a towed chassis (such
as the Vulcan 20mm PIVAD area defense
system). The 5.56mm and 7.62mm weapons
are also referred to as miniguns.
Grenade Launcher
This simple weapon is a single-shot grenade
launcher. It fires 40mm grenades (see under
Grenades and Explosives, below). These
grenades look like huge bullets an inch and a
half across; they cant be used as hand
grenades, and the M79 cant shoot hand
grenades. Attacking with an M79 is identical to
throwing an explosive: you make a ranged
attack against a specific 5-foot square (instead
of targeting a person or creature). The
differences between using the M79 and throwing
an explosive lie in the range of the weapon
(which far exceeds the distance a hand grenade
can be thrown) and the fact that the M79
requires a weapon proficiency to operate without
penalty. The Exotic Firearms Proficiency
(grenade launchers) feat applies to this weapon.
Heavy Plasma Rifle, GE-380
The first of its kind, the GE heavy plasma rifle
was built to be carried by human troops, unlike
its General Dynamics competitor. It is a 200-watt
blaster.
Terminator: Future Fate - 41
Heavy Plasma Rifle, GE-506
This heavy plasma rifle, the first of its kind,
was a competitor to the General Dynamics
weapons. It was the successor to the GE-380
and ultimately proved to be more effective.
Similar to the General Dynamics cannon, it is a
250-watt blaster.
Mini-Jack
The mini-jack is a heavy rocket launcher that
must be carried by at least two men. It requires
three men to assemble. The mini-jack acts as
the R-6 in all other respects.
MOB-M Launcher
This rocket launcher holds one rocket and
can be launched by one person. It comes as a
short, telescoped fiberglass and aluminum tube.
When the MOB-M hits its target, it explodes like
a grenade or other explosive, dealing its 10d6
points of damage to all creatures within a 10-foot
radius (Reflex save DC 18 for half damage).
Because its explosive features a shaped charge
designed to penetrate the armor of military
vehicles, the MOB-M ignores up to 10 points of
hardness if it strikes a vehicle, building, or
object. However, this only applies to the target
struck, not to other objects within the burst
radius. The M72 has a minimum range of 30
feet. If fired against a target closer than 30 feet
away, it does not arm and will not explode. The
Exotic Firearms Proficiency (rocket launchers)
feat applies to this weapon.
Mobile Charge Plasma Cannon
The Mobile Charge Plasma Cannon (MCPC)
is the most powerful plasma cannon to date. It
42 Terminator: Future Fate
has ten times the range and ten times the
damage capacity of normal cannons.
Plasma Cannon, General
Dynamics RBS-80
Built by General Dynamics, the RBS-80 is a
300-watt blaster and one of the largest infantry
weapons used by Skynet. Traditionally
supported by a tripod, the RBS-80 is too heavy
to be carried by humans for sustained periods of
time. However, the weight of this weapon is no
problem for the hydraulics and reinforced
structure of the T-600, T-700 and T-800 Series'.
Its large size and subsequent powerful payload
makes this weapon devastatingly effective. It
inflicts 10d10 points of fire damage. It is also
known as a turret gun.
Plasma Machinegun, M-40
This weapon is a modification of the standard
40-watt plasma rifle, but it is fitted with a power
amplifier to make it capable of fully automatic
fire. In Termiantors, the power amplifier is
usually built into the Terminator's chassis, so in
the hands of a Terminator it is practically
impossible to tell whether the weapon is a
plasma rifle or plasma machinegun. Tech-Com
has stripped the power amplifier from disabled
Terminators and adapted them to backpacks.
Plasma Machinegun, M-100
Like the 40-watt machinegun, this awesome
weapon is nearly indistinguishable from a 40-
watt rifle. It is one of the most effective weapons
Skynet has used against humans.

Biofilter Generator
Biofilter generators keep out all life. A
biofilter generator erects a blue screen, 10 feet
wide by 10 feet high directly above the
generator. They draw energy from surrounding
mechanicals. If enough Terminators leave the
area or are deactivated, the biofilter will
collapse. Touching a biofilter causes no
damage but stuns the being touching it for 1
round. Terminators use biofilter generators to
hold important prisoners and to block off escape
routes.
First Aid Kit
Available at most drugstores and camping
supply stores, this kit contains enough supplies
(and simple instructions for their use) to treat an
injury before transporting the injured person to a
medical occupational. A first aid kit can be used
to help a dazed, unconscious, or stunned
character by making a Treat Injury check (DC
15). A first aid kit can be used only once at

M41 - Range Finder Scope
A scope 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. The M41 increases the range
increment for a ranged weapon by one-half
(multiply by 1.5). However, to use a scope a
character must spend an attack action acquiring
his or her target. If the character changes
targets or otherwise lose sight of the target, he
or she must reacquire the target to gain the
benefit of the scope.
M45 - Thermal Imaging Scope
A scope 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. The M45 scope functions the same as a
standard scope in normal light. In darkness,
however, the user sees through it as if he or she
had the darkvision ability granted by night vision
goggles.
M71 - Armored Tactical Helmet
The M71 helmet comes with goggles that use
passive light gathering to improve vision in near-
dark conditions. They grant the user the ability to
see in darkness, also called darkvisionbut
because of the restricted field of view and lack of
depth perception these goggles provide, they
impose a 4 penalty on all Spot and Search
checks made by someone wearing them. The
M71 must have at least a little light to operate. A
cloudy night provides sufficient ambient light, but
a pitch-black cave or a sealed room doesnt. For
situations of total darkness, the helmet comes
with an infrared illuminator that, when switched
on, operates like a flashlight whose light is

wearing night vision goggles).
MD301 Bio Spray
Bio Sprays are powerful first-aid kits that use
stolen Skynet nanite technology to repair flesh
and bone. A bio spray can be used to help a
dazed, unconscious, or stunned character by
making a Treat Injury check (DC 10). A bio
spray can be used only once. Skill checks made
without a bio spray incur a 4 penalty.
MD304 Burn Kit
Burn kits act like first aid kits but can only be
used to help a dazed, unconscious, or stunned
character suffering from fire damage by making
a Treat Injury check (DC 15). A burn kit can be

Pressure suits are designed for operations
on planets with hostile atmospheres or extreme
temperatures, including deep space. They have
durable thermal control systems that can
withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees
Fahrenheit. A pressure suit is designed to

Armored Pick-Up Truck Hovercraft

An armored pick-up truck is a standard truck
that has had metal plates fastened around the
bed and the cab. Although it provides
significantly more protection to its crew, the
armored pick-up truck trades defense for a
slower speed and acceleration. The armored
pick-up truck is two squares wide and four
squares long. It provides nine-tenths cover for its
occupants. It is equipped with puncture-resistant
tires.
Cruise Crusher
Developed by John Connor's techs, this
armored truck combines the speed and mobility
of a racecar with the strength and power of a
tank. It is armed with a single RBS-80 plasma
cannon, mounted on the hood.
Gun Car
th
A gun car is a 20 century four door
automobile, modified for combat. The windows
have been removed and a large hole cut into the
roof to serve as a firing port. It also has extra
lights added for night operations and reinforced
bumpers. Large, sturdy cars with powerful
engines are the only vehicles that can handle
the abuse.
This one-man hovercraft is powered by a large
turbofan. It is used by Terminators to quickly
move through swampy areas, especially in
Florida. Skynet has modified the hovercraft with
a GE 380 heavy plasma rifle that can be
controlled by the pilot.
Lunar Transport
The lunar transport is a ship used to
transport "plankton farmers" between Li'l
Houston and Earth. A crew of scientists,
accompanied by a synthetic, descends into the
Earth's atmosphere while cloaked and
accumulate the sea life they need to sustain
their biosphere on the moon. The ship is
unwieldy and only capable of moving between
Earth and the lunar colony. When its shields are
up, it bestows a +10 defense bonus and is a
force effect.
The ship can also cloak by becoming
invisible, vanishing from sight, even from
darkvision. Anything not directly connected to
the ship that extends more than 10 feet from it
becomes visible.

This standard 20 century full size pick-up

Terminator: Future Fate - 47

 Time Travel
"Found the...whatever it was called...the time-displacement equipment. The Terminator had already
gone through. They sent two of us to intercept, then zeroed the whole place. Sumner didn't make it."
It's scary enough to consider that the
Terminators are hell-bent on eradicating human
life, enough that it churns out metal skeletons by
the thousands to that end. Worse, Skynet has
recently discovered time travel technology,
making it a perpetual threat that cannot be easily
stopped.
Of course, time travel adds an element to the
game that not all Game Masters may be
interested in. But certainly, if the campaign
starts to get stale, time travel spices it up. Even
better, the inherent compatibility with the d20
system allows easy conversion between
different genres. If it happened in the past,
Terminators might just show up to assassinate a
particularly influential person or event.
There are a few theories on time travel:
Parallel Universe
One cannot go backwards in time to affect
one's current time stream. At best, a time
traveler can alter the timeline so that fate doesn't
exist in the current reality. That is, the timeline
diverges upon time travel happening, creating a
unique timeline. Somewhere, Skynet still wins.
However, in the universe the time traveler is in,
it's a new world.
This theory of time travel does not make for
happy endings. It means Skynet can never be
defeated in the past. It may be small comfort to
know that Skynet's attempts at pre-time
assassination are also fruitless.
Similar Universe
This timeline is similar to the parallel universe
theory. There is one caveat, however: time has
a "set path" that it is expected to follow. It
naturally bends events towards the set path,
whatever the Game Master determines that is.
So if Skynet was defeated due to time travel,
but Skynet was originally supposed to nearly
wipe out humanity, it will happen. It's not a
matter of if, just a matter of when.
48 Terminator: Future Fate
--Kyle Reese to Silberman, Terminator
Unified Time stream
Time takes place across one reality. By
killing off someone in the past, you affect the
future. This of course can cause paradoxes
you could kill your own father, which means you
shouldn't be able to exist to go back in time to
kill your father in the first place. This may very
well be why Skynet seeks to destroy John
Connor by killing him or his mother. But how far
back will Skynet go?
This theory has played out in the comics (see
Endgame and Robocop vs. Terminator), where
significant changes in time cause anomalies to
pop right out of existence. By all accounts, there
is a momentary rumbling of 1d10 minutes before
reality readjusts itself. This explains how Skynet
can race to stop the change in time by sending
back yet another Terminator in that small
window of opportunity.
How It Works
"You go naked. Something about the field
generated by a living organism. Nothing dead
will go."
"Why?"
"I didn't build the fucking thing."
--Kyle Reese to Silberman, Terminator
Skynet has recently developed Time
Displacement Equipment (TDE). Located within
Skynet's main complex, the TDE is reached by a
huge freight elevator that leads deep into the
bowels of the building, descending at a 45-
degree angle into a concrete lined tunnel. At the
bottom of the elevator, huge vault-like doors
open to reveal a chamber that is the size of a
high-school gym and consists totally of machine
surfaces. Wafer-circuit terminals are stacked
everywhere, stretching from floor to ceiling, and
complex configurations of cabling run beneath
panels in the floor. Three enormous chrome
rings, one inside the other, are suspended in a
circular hole in the center of the room's floor.
These rings float freely in a humming
electromagnetic field.
 Once coordinates are fed into the machine
and it is set in motion, the rings begin to move,
slowly rotating around each other on different
axis like some form of complex gyroscope. The
floor begins to split open, like wedges in a pie
that then begin to pull back from the center. The
rings begin to spin faster, suspended in space in
the middle of the receding floor wedges. The
rings then begin to descend, dropping into an
unbelievably vast circular space. This is the
biaxial node of the time-field generator. The
rings rotate at a tremendous velocity, blurring
from sight, as an energy charge builds up,
causing small electrical sparks to spit out from
the generator walls, searing the ionized air.
Lightning then begins to arc across the vast
room, until eventually there is a blinding flash
and space from the two different time periods
are displaced - they swap with each other.
Whatever the theory, there's only one hard
and fast rule of time travel: only living flesh can
go through. Non-living matter simply cannot
transport through time. The technology requires
a field generated by a living organism
unfortunately, cyborgs (including the T-800
series) qualify. Likewise, the T-1000000
transports through time by wrapping itself in
living flesh. Terminators have even ripped holes
in humans, plugged them with ammunition and
weapons, and time traveled while the human
cargo was still alive. Then they tear the
equipment out of the hosts, killing them in the
process.
Time travel is hard on the body. Human
subjects must be injected with amphetamines,
and smeared with a thick, bluish, sour smelling
super-conducting jelly so that the time-field will
follow the time traveler's outline.
Time travel sucks. Kyle Reese describes
seeing a white light. But what's most noteworthy
is the pain. It hurts. A lot. It's like being slowly
ripped inside out.
Time travel creates a field around the
traveler, ensuring that the time traveler doesn't
appear in a solid object. This is akin to
disintegration, evaporating all matter in a sphere
around the traveler. The actual time travel
sphere is not very large approximately 4-feet
in diameter. Terminators and humans alike
must crouch down to be transported or have
their upper torso left behind.
The time traveler's arrival is telegraphed by
explosive electrical energy that arcs from where
the traveler will appear. This electricity acts as a
lightning bolt each round, randomly striking the
nearest targets. The mini-lightning storm lasts
for 1d4 rounds before the traveler appears in a
sphere of energy.
Objects or beings in the path of the sphere
when it arrives must make a Fortitude save or
lose random 1d100% of their hit points. If the
object or being cannot move out of the way, it is
disintegrated.
For the uninitiated, time travel may seem like
a meaningless issue in the future wars of 2029.
But there are implications to time travel
technology. If you can transport through time,
you can transport through space. Terminators
can be teleported to anywhere. No shield
plating stops them. This means that Skynet's
ability to strike back at Tech-Com is only limited
by knowledge of its locations. Even then,
Skynet can afford to randomly teleport troops
into suspected areas to see what it turns up. So
long as time travel technology is in Skynet's
hands, it is more dangerous than ever.
PCs can also time travel, to either
assassinate Skynet or track one of its
Terminators before it's too late. But when you're
traveling the time stream, is it ever too late?
Just remember, time travel is a one-way trip.
There's no technology to send PCs
backunless they travel to the future.
Terminator: Future Fate - 49
 NPCs
"Sarah, thank you. For your courage through the dark years. I can't help you with what you must
soon face, except to tell you that the future is not set... there is no such thing as Fate, but what we make
for ourselves by our own will. You must be stronger than you imagine you can be. You must survive, or I
will never exist."
John Connor is a paradox. He was born by a
man John sent back into the future to protect
Sarah Connor. That man was Kyle Reese.
John is the most burdened with the
knowledge of what was and what might have
been. His very existence is indication that,
although the Terminators failed to erase him

"That Terminator is out there. It cant be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with...it doesn't feel pity
or remorse or fear...and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead."
Terminators come in a wide variety of shapes
and sizes. Various artists, writers, and
producers have envisioned the Terminator
universe differently. Presented here are as
many as we could find. For more details about
each of the Terminators, see the source entry.
All Terminators (excluding the I-950) and
Hunter-Killers have the following traits:
Alternate Power Source: If disabled, a
Terminator is able to re-route its systems
to a secondary, alternate power source,
thus bypassing any severed connections,
damaged circuits or internal impairment.
A Terminator can go to 20 hit points
before ceasing to function. Once a
Terminator reaches 0 hit points, roll 1d6
and note the result. This is the number
of minutes that must pass before the
internal systems bring on the APS and
repower the Terminator.
Construct: Immune to mind-influencing
effects, poison, disease, and similar
effects. Not subject to critical hits,
subdual damage, ability damage, energy
drain, or death from massive damage. If
a Terminator is wearing a disguise, more
than 10 points of damage in a single hit
will reveal its true nature. Shapeshifter
Terminators (the T-X and T-1000) are
also considered constructs.
Healing: Constructs cannot heal, they
must be repaired. However, the T-800
through T-825 series can regenerate like
a human due to their cybernetic systems.
Additionally, the T-800 through T-825
series has internal self-repairing
mechanisms that allow even its non-
living components to repair themselves.
The T-X, T-1000, and T-1000000 have
fast healing 10.
Personal Communicator: The
Terminator can digitally communicate
securely and encrypted with any other
Terminator or Skynet up to 10 miles and
can receive and relay information to
Skynet anywhere on the planet provided
a line of sight can be drawn to a tactical
52 Terminator: Future Fate

Terminators, Hunter Killers and the I-950
might have some, all, or none of the
followings upgrades:
AI Module: The Terminator can learn,
which allows it to use any skill untrained
that a living being could.
Biosynthetic Conversion: The
Terminator looks like a person with flesh
and skin.
Combat Programming: The Terminator
can gain the benefits of having a class.
Darkvision: The Terminator can see in
the dark up to 60 feet.
Enhanced Dexterity: The Terminator is
faster than usual and receives a +6 racial
bonus to Dexterity.

has reinforced servos and musculature to
increase its strength. It receives a +6
Strength bonus.
Hoverlift: The Terminator can fly at its
base speed with good maneuverability.
Internal Audio Sensors: The
Terminator receives a +2 bonus to Listen
checks.
Improved Visual Sensors: The
Terminator receives a +2 bonus to

weapons are mounted on the Terminator
itself. They cannot be disarmed.
 Language Module: The Terminator can
speak and write a language.
Motion Sensors: The Terminator gets a
+2 bonus to Spot checks.
Multiple Legs: The Terminator receives
a +2 bonus to Climb and Balance
checks.
Multiscanner: The Terminator has a

within 500 feet, a chemical sniffer that
can analyze raw materials within 100
feet, a magnetic/spectromic array that
can analyze material within 100 feet, and
an electrical sensor that can identify life
forms within 100 feet.
Natural Armor (+2): The Terminator has
extra armor that bestows a +2 bonus to
Defense.
Natural Armor (+4): The Terminator has
extra armor that bestows a +4 bonus to
Defense.
Natural Armor (+6): The Terminator has
extra armor that bestows a +6 bonus to
Defense.
Reinforced Construction (10/-): The
Terminator gains damage resistance of
10/-.
Reinforced Construction (5/-): The
Terminator gains damage resistance 5/-.
Remote Operation Unit: The Terminator
can be operated remotely with a range of
up to 10 miles. When operated remotely,
the Terminator attacks with a
circumstance penalty of 4.
Sensory Recorder: The Terminator can
store up to 100 hours of recordings for

T-1: Battle Unit
Designed to aid field troops and work in
tandem with the T-70 Series, the T-1 Series was
created to be able to traverse far more difficult
terrain than the T-70. Mounted on a platform
capable of rotating 360 degrees, the T-1 has a
wide field of attack. Mounted upon either side of
the T-1 are "arms" which are capable of
unfolding from its main structure, each fitted with
a gatling gun for superior firepower. With its
rapid, heavy firepower and fast maneuverability,
the T-1 is a very dangerous unit. Though an
early model, the T-1 is still produced by Skynet
to this day.
COMBAT
The T-1 is much more mobile than the T-70.
As such, it tracks and locks onto targets, firing
with dual gatling guns in a strafing pattern until it
hits its targets. T-1s are still not smart by
Terminator standards they amble towards a
target, guns blazing, until it is eliminated.
T-70: Infantry Unit
model Gatling gun, the T-70 Series was built to
form an imposing sight on the late 20th Century
battlefield, rather than being designed for
infiltration. Due to their antiquated construction
and blueprint, Skynet has not produced T-70s
for about the past 30 years. However, there are
still rare reports from some of the Outer Rim
territories of T-70 activity, and it is alleged that
T-70s are still used as executioners in the
human death camps.
COMBAT
The T-70 Infantry Unit was originally a
controlled unit. Skynet, using T-70s as its eyes
and ears, remotely controls these units. They
rarely use their weapons to execute prisoners
and are unaccustomed to complicated tactics.

The first model of HK, the T100 Seeker was
the most numerous. Many massed Tech-Com
attacks have been stopped and reversed by
lines of Seeker automatic aerodyne mines.
Usually deployed as static guardians of bases,
to break up Tech-Com charges, or sent down
into the ruins and tunnels favored for hiding and
guerilla warfare by the Tech-Com, the Seeker
has proved to be a very stable design. Based on
a Pre-Sentience design for a cheap, military
aerodyne based RPV which was used for scout
purposes, Skynet was quick to implement the
design into the databases of its automated
factories, adding a dedicated anti-personnel pre-
fragmented explosive charge and a limited
sensor / scanner suite fitted to a low level
tactical threat computer into the final design.
The result is a spherical shaped, self-
propelled, target seeking guided anti-personnel
T-100: Seeker
mine with the ability not only to identify and track
its target(s), but also the ability to remain on
station and loiter in guard mode for weeks or
months on end without maintenance thanks to a
small nuclear battery.
COMBAT
Seekers attack by stealth, quietly floating
towards their targets in their primary mode,
hunting at night, skimming the ground silently,
using debris and rubble to mask and hide their
movements. Seekers also 'roost' in tall ruins of
buildings, watching the streets below. When a
viable target approaches, the Seeker powers up
and silently descends from above until the unit is
within blast range of the target, usually
exploding above and behind for maximum
lethality in a shower down pattern of
fragmentation, resulting in a superior beaten
sheath of fragment dispersal.
Explode: Once humans are sensed to be
within range, the Seeker scuttles out of its hiding
place and self-detonates. The core explosive
charge consists of 8 kilos of C-4 wrapped
around a pre-fragmented alloy rod.
Fragmentation is further enhanced by the actual
body of the Terminator that has been designed
to allow the charge to pick up a good amount of
additional fragments, as well as any debris in
and around the area. The ensuing explosion
spays the area with razor sharp and sizzling hot
shrapnel, causing massive injuries to anyone
within the blast zone. It inflicts concussion
damage in a burst radius of 24 feet and inflicts
18d6 points of damage. A Reflex save (DC 18)
reduces the damage.

Slow, unbalanced, underpowered, and easily
defeated, the T-200 soon came to be known to
Tech-Com as a "Stickman" or "Tin-man" due to
its narrow, inhuman shape and large sensor
array atop the shoulders. Armor was light on
such a narrow frame, and redundant systems
were almost non-existent ensuring that any
critical damage would cause the combat loss of
the unit. The unit was a quick and cheap
stopgap measure, a model designed to provide
Skynet time to implement more efficient designs.
56 Terminator: Future Fate
T-200: Scarecrow
Hyperalloy materials were just being developed
by Skynet so the T-200 was armored with more
primitive ceramic materials and even crude
ballistic cloth, giving a tattered, ragged look to
the unit which generated an additional name
from some of the Tech-Com units; "Scarecrow."
COMBAT
The T-200s advantages include mobility,
target following capability, infiltration capacity,
and the ability to operate and use Tech-com
equipment and weapons. It has quite a few
disadvantages however. A good hit from large
caliber, small arms fire can cripple or destroy a
T-200 unit. The sensor array is particularly
vulnerable and Tech-Com units have quickly
discovered this weakness, using a variety of
close combat and long ranged sniper based
attacks aimed directly at the delicate sensor
array. T-200 units that have their sensor array
damaged or destroyed either shut down and
stand in place, or short circuit and walked
around, bumping into buildings, debris, etc. until
Tech-Com destroys it or the fourteen day
endurance power cell is depleted. Tech-Com
actively forms hunting groups to venture out
from the ruins, to hunt T-200 units in order to
steal weapons and ammunition, even the crude
armor. The T-200s are such easy kills that Tech-
Com snipers in skyscrapers can destroy a
patrolling T-200 and in a matter of less than a
minute, street scavengers will pick the unit clean
of any usable parts and equipment.
Weakness: On a critical hit from any
ammunition larger than 5.56mm, a Terminator is
instantly destroyed.

The T-500 Endo is the perfection of the T-
400. An armored battle chassis makes it far
more durable than the T-400. Enhanced
weapons are synched with acquisition AI for a
highly dangerous threat.
COMBAT
The T-500 is the premiere ground shock
troop for Skynet. Unlike the more advanced T-
600 series, it is not an infiltrator. It is heavily
armored and designed to overcome any
obstacle through firepower and brute force. T-
500s are not subtle in their approach and focus
solely on their targets.
T-600: Infiltrator
The T-600 series was first produced in 2016.
They were mass produced humanoid battle units
manufactured by Skynet from the original
designs and test models constructed by
Cyberdyne Systems Corporation. Standing
almost six feet tall and weighing almost 800 lbs,
the T-600's endoskeleton is very powerful and
can lift objects almost five times its own weight
or punch through concrete and metal with no
damage to its reinforced servos. The T-600
Series is capable of running at a constant speed
of almost 60 kph, with short bursts of up to 75
kph. Due to the lack of technological
advancement at the time of their conception and
the nature of Skynet's logic, the T-600 Series is
fabricated with a smooth latex rubber "skin" to
hide its mechanics. This fact makes the T-600s
easy to recognize and thus disable.
COMBAT
The T-600 has three modes of operation:
direct, automatic, and autonomous. The new T-
600 can be directed by Skynet defense
computers like soldiers in a war game, it can
react automatically to a wide variety of pre-
programmed conditions, or the individual units
can be relinquished to their own control and act
independently for months on end, combing the
ruins on extended search and destroy missions.

T-700: Infiltrator
Due to the relative ease with which the T-
600's were identified, Skynet began production
of the T-700 Series in 2020. Unlike the T-600
Series, the rubber skin of the T-700 Series is not
smooth and is instead incredibly lifelike. Though
still not as advanced as the T-800's real, living
human tissue covering, the T-700's skin has
been laser sculpted to include blemishes,
birthmarks, pores, scars, etc. The skin has been
painted to almost exactly match that of a
human's to within a 94% margin of error, with
special attention paid to the facial features that
are correct to within 95.6%. Individual, synthetic,
latex foam muscles have also been sculpted for
the T-700 and are mechanically grafted to the
underside of the T-700's rubber skin. The
endoskeleton of the T-700 is structurally very
similar to that of the T-800 Series. However, T-
700 endoskeletons can be identified by their lack
of "neck pistons" and "shoulder pistons"; their
yellow, shoulder axial drive-motor leads; and by
their thin, non-segmented necks.
COMBAT
The T-700 Series, although still slower than
the T-800 Series, is approximately 15% faster
than the T-600 Series. It is also more durable,
being able to maneuver over more rugged
terrain; and is approximately 17% stronger.

"The Terminators an infiltration unit. Part man, part machine. Underneath, its a combat chassis,
hyperalloy, fully armored. Very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue. Flesh, skin, hair...blood.
Grown for the cyborgs."

Due to the ease with which Tech-Com could
identify T-600s, Skynet began production of the
T-800: Infiltrator
T-800 Series in 2026. The T-800 Series is a
cybernetic organism. It consists of living tissue
over a metal endoskeleton. The metal
endoskeleton is a microprocessor controlled fully
armored hyper-alloy combat chassis. This
endoskeleton is constructed with frictionless
bearings in its joints, and a servo-actuated
control system. The living tissue, grown
especially for the T-800s, consists of flesh, skin,
hair and blood, and is capable of limited
regeneration over time. As this tissue is living it
is warm to the touch and hence T-800's will not
show up on thermal scanners as being any
different from a real human. The biological
components are only grafted onto T-800's that
are to be used to infiltrate Tech-Com bases; T-
800's that are deployed straight onto the
battlefield usually do not possess biological
components.
COMBAT
Skynet controls its T-800s using direct link
command. This operating mode is known as
"Hive", where the battle units are hooked directly
into Skynet and share a collective conscious.
However, there are hundreds of autonomous
terminators that are not under Skynet's direct
control. This is the second form of operating
mode and is known as "Rogue". In this mode,
battle units are independent of Skynet but are
programmed to return and download
information.

These infiltrators are similar to the T-800
except they are patterned after females. They
also have the advantage of retractable claws
that they can pop out of their fingertips at will.
This makes T-803's terrifying close-combat
fighters.
COMBAT
The T-803 is a close combat unit. It can
carry weapons but usually refrains from doing
so. Instead, the T-803 cries out for help or
attempts to look helpless. Skynet quickly
learned the weaknesses of human prejudice
towards females. T-803s are the most
successful in murdering children by pretending
to be concerned females.

Unlike the other Terminators, the T-804 is
much more tactical and much less interested in
engaging in direct combat. It acts as a point
man for other Terminators and works best in
groups.
COMBAT
T-804s hang back from combat and direct
units remotely. They can of course engage in
combat if need be but prefer to let the other
Terminators do the fighting for them.

If there was ever any doubt that Skynet is a
cold, calculating machine, the T-806 infiltrator is
proof. Disguised as children, these infiltrators
work hard to gain the trust of adults and then, in
their moments of weakness, murder them all. T-
806's are not very large, but they more than
make up for it with their stealth.
COMBAT
T-806s use similar tactics to the T-803: they
pretend to be helpless or wounded and then
attack with surprise when human prey ventures
too closely.

Challenge Rating: 13
Source: Terminator Collectible Card Game
The T-810 is meant to sneak into facilities. It
uses its disguise only as a backup to avoid
detection. As such, the T-810 is a more deadly
unit because it intentionally avoids being spotted
and even then, can pass undetected.
COMBAT
The T-810 is one of the few units that actively
avoids open combat. It is an assassination unit
that uses its hypersonic emitter to neutralize
canine guards. T-810s have one target
designed by Skynet and they will avoid or
minimize combat interaction with all other
possible foes to get at their target.
Hypersonic Emitter: At will, the T-810 can
emit a hypersonic whine. Any creatures with
advanced hearing, including canines, in a 60-
foot radius feel an overpowering urge to leave
the area. A canine must make a Will save (DC
20) to stay in the area, but feels very
uncomfortable doing so. This distracting
discomfort reduces the canine's Dexterity score
by 4 points.

The T-825 is a Terminator covered in skin,
similar to the T-800. It serves a different
purpose, however. The T-825 serves in the field
as a maintenance and intelligence agent. Its
primary function is tissue repair, not combat. It
is not designed to withstand extreme stress.
COMBAT
T-825s are not combat units. As such, they
hide in the shadows and communication any
information they perceive to Skynet.
Reconstructive Nanites: The T-825 can use
the Repair skill or Treat Injury skill to "heal"
damage on a Terminator, including itself.

The T-1000, though rarely deployed, is
infamous throughout Tech-Com. It has been
seen by only a few surviving Tech-Com fighters,
but it has brought fear to them all. First produced
in 2028, the T-1000 does not have any form of
endoskeleton like the T-600 or the T-800, but is
instead constructed from a mimetic polyalloy, or
liquid metal.
The T-1000 series can lip read and is also
able to synthesize the speech pattern of any
human that it replicates. This does, however,
require a sufficiently suitable sample of the
subject's voice. The T-1000's auditory sensors
can be situated anywhere upon its body, as
every molecule of the T-1000 has the blueprints
for all needed parts programmed into it. The T-
T-1000: Infiltrator
1000 is also capable of registering its
environment in a dozen subtle ways using its
entire body, can directly read magnetically
encoded plus-minus information and can run at
a speed of at least 40 mph. The T-1000 is not
issued with any weapons, but is capable of
fashioning any solid metal form, such as knifes
and stabbing weapons. The T-1000 cannot,
however, form any complex systems that may
have moving parts or chemicals, like guns or
explosives.
COMBAT
This highly resilient battle unit is able to
withstand a wide variety of temperatures,
ranging up to at least 300C. Extremely low
temperatures of about -196C (such as those
produced by Liquid Nitrogen) can cause damage
to a T-1000, however they will not stop it. The T-
1000 series can, however, be destroyed.
Temperatures in excess of 1535C, such as
those needed to smelt iron, can physically alters
the bonding of the Mimetic Polyalloy. The molten
iron (or any other element) can then mix with the
elements of the alloy and physically alter its
molecular structure, thus rendering it
inoperative. Corrosives, such as concentrated
Hydrochloric Acid are also known to damage T-
1000's.
Fast Healing 10: The T-1000 is capable of
extensive regeneration, even being able to
completely recover from a Pulse Rifle blast at
point blank range to the head.
Immune to Bludgeoning and Piercing:
Bludgeoning and piercing weapons deal no
damage to a T-10000.
Morph: A T-1000 can assume the shape of
any Small or Medium-size humanoid by touching
it. This works like change self as cast by an
18th-level mage, but the T-1000 can remain in
the chosen form indefinitely. It can assume a
new form or return to its own as a standard
action.
Ooze: Oozes are immune to poison, sleep,
paralysis, stunning, and polymorphing. They

The T-1000000, otherwise known as the T-
Meg, is Skynet's latest and most feared battle
unit. Very few Tech-Com members have ever
been witness to the T-1000000 and lived to tell
about it. The T-1000000 was built at about the
beginning of 2029. The T-1000000 is never
actually deployed on the battlefield, but is
instead retained in a state of stasis in Skynet's
main complex to guard Skynet's Central Core.

across. The T-1000000 is not capable of
mimicking subjects as the T-1000 Series can,
but instead transforms from an apparently solid
part of Skynet's Central Core to a default
arachnid configuration capable of forming
stabbing, slashing weapons from each of its
eight legs.

extensive regeneration, even being able to
completely recover from a Pulse Rifle blast at
point blank range to the head.
Immune to Bludgeoning and Piercing:
Bludgeoning and piercing weapons deal no
damage to a T-1000000.
Ooze: Oozes are immune to poison, sleep,
paralysis, stunning, and polymorphing. They
have no clear front or back and are therefore not
subject to critical hits or flanking.
Multiple Attacks: The T-X has the ability to
form any of its slashing legs into an offensive
weapon, giving it up to 8 attacks in a round.

This battle unit is constructed from a mimetic
polyalloy over a Terminator chassis, making it
even more deadly than the T-1000 Series. Like
the T-1000, the T-X Series is capable of
morphing into other humans, but it is also
capable of creating moving parts. Like the T-
803, the T-X takes on an attractive female
appearance to throw its male opponents off
guard. The T-X can take control of any
mechanical device - from household appliances
to computers to even other battle units. It was
specifically created to counter other
Terminators, making it exceptionally deadly.
COMBAT
T-X: Terminatrix
The T-X is highly intelligent, rivaling the T-
1000 in cunning. It understands the concept of
self-preservation and will commandeer any
nearby units for its own bidding.
Morph: A T-X can assume the shape of any
Medium-size humanoid. This works like change
self as cast by an 18th-level mage, but the T-X
can remain in the chosen form indefinitely. It can
assume a new form or return to its own as a
standard action. It must touch the person it
impersonates.
Utility Hand: By spending 1 action, the T-X
can turn its right hand into a variety of devices,
including a plasma bolt generator, flamethrower,
buzzsaw, and network connection. When the T-
X has transformed its hand in this fashion, it
can't use the hand for anything else.
Buzzsaw: An T-X deals 1d8+2 points of
damage from a successful melee hit with its
buzzsaw.
Flamethrower: A T-X can turn its utility hand
into a flamethrower, as per the Equipment
chapter.
Network Connection: A T-X can animate
mechanical devices up to 180 feet away by
inserting its network connection into the device.
It can control up to four devices at a time in this
fashion. It takes a full round for a device to
animate. Thereafter it moves at its normal speed
and fights as an animated object in all respects.
Animated mechanical devices lose their ability to
move if the T-X who animated them is
incapacitated or moves out of range. This power
works on other Terminators if the Terminator
fails a Will save (DC 25). If the terminator has
access to a cell phone or other
telecommunication device, it can exercise this
power through the device.
Plasma Bolt Generator: A T-X can create a
plasma bolt that's equal to a M-40 plasma rifle.
Regeneration: Due to its "liquid metal"
construction, the T-1000000 is capable of
extensive regeneration, even being able to
completely recover from a Pulse Rifle blast at
point blank range to the head.

a very low-level artificial intelligence program.
The Aerial Hunter Killer has an armored hyper-
alloy semi-monoque airframe that has a
honeycombed/blown structure, similar in design
to the skeleton of a bird. The main armament of
the Aerial Hunter Killer consists of an
underslung rapid fire Phased Plasma Cannon
mounted in a ventral remote electric drive mount
turret that can retract into the belly nacelle. The
internal fusion reactor waste feeds this Phased
Plasma Cannon and its payload is, therefore, for
all tactical purposes, infinite. However, required
periodic refueling of its magazine cell limits the
operating time of this unit.
COMBAT
Once human activity is located, the Aerial
Hunter Killer relays its co-ordinates and any
other relevant information back to Skynets
central computer system from where available
battle units are directed to the relevant location.
The Aerial Hunter Killer can also deploy Flying
Mini-Hunters from a compartment in its
underside if it cannot reach its targets directly.
HK: Bomber
The Hunter Killer Bomber is a larger, more
powerful version of the Aerial Hunter Killer.
Designed as a Vertical Take Off and Landing
(VTOL) heavy assault platform, the Hunter Killer
Bomber features two additional engine pods to
support its greater size and weight. Also
featured is a larger, more enhanced gun
platform, with more Phased Plasma Cannons
than the Aerial Hunter Killer, and additional
armor, giving the Hunter Killer Bomber greater
resilience to Tech-Com weapons.
COMBAT
The primary function of the Hunter Killer
Bomber is to attack Tech-Com installations and
fortresses that are heavily armed and well
protected. The larger gun battery and heavy
Armour of the Hunter Killer Bomber make it
ideally suited to this function, rather than the
smaller, lighter Aerial Hunter Killer.

The HK Guardian is a spider-like design that
is distinctly different from other Hunter-Killers of
its type. The HK has four legs patterned after an
insect-like design. This gives the HK Guardian
incredible mobility at the expense of heavy
armor. As Skynet's defenders, HK Guardians
HK: Centurion
Killer Centurion is the most expensive (in terms
of materials, power and time) Hunter Killer unit
produced by Skynet. Due to its large size and
the tenacious defending of its posts, this Hunter
Killer unit soon gained the nickname "Centurion"
from Tech-Com members who had faced it. The
Hunter Killer Centurion has a central waist unit
that houses a miniature high efficiency fusion
reactor and the transmission systems. The gun
pods and body of the Hunter Killer Centurion
have been designed to subliminally form a
demonic face. This is a deliberate feature,
implemented by Skynet to induce added
psychological threat and fear in any Tech-Com
fighters who face this unit in battle.
COMBAT
Four uniquely designed legs provide the HK
Centurion's locomotion. The 'feet' of these legs
can roll inwards, curling up so that the entire unit
can 'squat' in place, lowering its overall height
and profile by 66%, maintaining a static
defensive posture. In an instant, the Hunter
Killer Centurion can rise from its crouch and
accelerate away across the battlefield either to
engage a target or move to a tactically superior
position.
HK: Guardian
crawl about its interior defenses, repairing and
engaging opponents from any angle.
COMBAT
HK Guardians fight like bulls. They use their
plasma weapon at long range, flamethrower
against closer opponents, and leap onto
opponents within 40 feet.
Leap: A HK Guardian can leap up to 40 feet
straight ahead or backwards as a move-
equivalent action. If used against an opponent,
the leap counts as a charge attack for the
Guardian at its full attack bonus in the same
round.
Improved Grab: When a HK Guardian hits
with its claws, it attempts to start a grapple as a
free action without provoking an attack of
opportunity.
Constrict: Due to its spinning claws, the HK
Guardian deals 1d6+2 on a successful grapple
check, in addition to its normal damage.
Forcefield: The HK Guardian can erect a
forcefield once a round. This forcefield bestows
damage reduction 10/- and extends five feet out
from the HK Guardian itself.

transport. Loading sites are a favorite ambush
zone for Tech-Com, so Skynet quickly upgraded
loaders to HK Loaders, which are more than
equipped to deal with the threat. HK Loaders
are armed with a pulse cannon as well as the
ability to crush any foe it catches. By far its
most impressive ability is the forcefield.
COMBAT
Ever resourceful, Delta Company agents
drop C-4 inside the HK Loader's shield area
before it can put one up, then detonate the
explosives from a distance. HK Loaders are not
particularly bright and very single-minded in their
goals, so this tactic is deadly in its effectiveness
against them.
Forcefield: The HK Loader can erect a
forcefield once a round. This forcefield bestows
damage reduction 10/- and extends five feet out
from the HK Loader itself.
Improved Grab (Ex): When the HK Loader
hits with its gripper, it attempts to start a grapple
as a free action without provoking an attack of
opportunity.
HK: Mini-Aerial
The predecessor to the much larger Hunter-
Killer Aerials, this mini-aerial has the same
VTOL capabilities. It was the logical evolution of
the Predator drone used in the Iraq war of 2003.

HK Mini-Aerials are still quite deadly despite
their small size. They carry a fully missile
armament as well as two phased pulse cannons
that hang from beneath the wings.
Missiles: The HK Mini-Aerial carries a six-
missile armament. These missiles have the
range, effect, and damage as a grenade
launcher.

Hunter is roughly 1 foot in diameter and is
normally deployed in groups of four. Flying Mini-
Hunters are transported in a compartment in the
underside of Aerial Hunter Killers awaiting
deployment, however they can also be deployed
separately. Due to its small size, the Flying Mini-
Hunter is extremely fast and maneuverable,
however it is only capable of covering a short

through the air and is equipped with a front-
mounted miniature Phased Pulse Cannon.
COMBAT
HK Mini-Hunters rarely engage in combat.
When they do, they zip in, fire their weapons,
and zip out of range.
Pulse: Once every ten rounds, a Flying Mini-
Hunter can release a pulse of energy that
knocks down opponents, inflicts 3d6 points of

target. This feature also allows the Silverfish to
partially bury itself in the dust and dirt.
COMBAT
The primary function of the Silverfish is to
track down Tech-Com settlements or gun
emplacements and to infiltrate them. However,
the Silverfish can also lay in wait in piles of
rubble, maintaining a low-power mode,
conducting low level passive scans for human
activity, and has been known to attack lone
individuals. When a target comes within range, it
will power up and engage the target.
Explode: Once humans are sensed to be
within range, the Silverfish scuttles out of its
hiding place and self-detonates. The core
explosive charge consists of 8 kilos of C-4
wrapped around a pre-fragmented alloy rod.
Fragmentation is further enhanced by the actual
body of the Silverfish that has been designed to
allow the charge to pick up a good amount of
additional fragments, as well as any debris in
and around the area. The ensuing explosion
spays the area with razor sharp and sizzling hot
shrapnel, causing massive injuries to anyone
within the blast zone. It inflicts concussion
damage in a burst radius of 24 feet and inflicts
18d6 points of damage. A Reflex save (DC 18)
reduces the damage.
HK: Spider
Source: Secondary Objectives
Hunter-Killer Spiders are designed to tear
apart buildings and release HK Mini-Hunters into
them. They are armed with eight arms tipped
with crushing pincers, ideal for ripping open
doors and snipping spines in half.
COMBAT
Despite its fearsome appearance, a HK
Spider is primarily interested in destroying
buildings, not people. Its primary objective is to
release HK Mini-Hunters into the places it
cannot reach. If it detects humans, the Spider
immediately releases its full payload of 10 HK
Mini-Hunters. The Mini-Hunters relay data back
to the Spider, which in turn uploads the data to
Skynet.

meters in length and 10 meters wide. Housed
within the main body of the Hunter Killer Tank is
a compact fusion reactor. This, in conjunction
with the drive train, handles the transmissions
that drive the four independently suspended all-
terrain track assemblies. Each track is two
meters wide, thus allowing superior all-terrain
mobility. The main pivot of the rear tread carrier
is one of the weakest points on the Hunter Killer
Tank. As well as its main armaments, the Hunter
Killer Tank is equipped with two large hydraulic,
servo-enhanced, manipulator arms with gripper
extensions. These are housed in front of the

I-950: Hybrid
Challenge Rating: 21
Source: Terminator: Dawn of Fate, T2: Infiltrator
The I-950 Series is a totally new form of
battle unit. Unlike the unfeeling, expressionless,
somewhat stilted Terminator Series', the new
Infiltrator Series is designed to mimic humans
exactly, being capable of humor, a wide and
varied range of facial expressions, and is even
capable of actually feeling emotions. These
capabilities, along with its ability to even fool
trained "sniffer" dogs, make the I-950 Series
able to integrate seamlessly into human society.
This new battle unit is not manufactured in
Skynet's vast automated factories, but is instead
grown, organically, from a fetus. Created in a
test tube by Skynet's captive human scientists,
the I-950 Series represents a new era for Skynet
in cyborg technology.
COMBAT
Although physically superior in every way,
technically the I-950 Hybrids are more human
than machine. It is the terrifying integration of
the two that makes them such formidable foes.
Despite the fact that I-950s are classified as
monstrous humanoids, they benefit from the
advantages unique to other Terminators and
Hunter-Killers as indicated in their Special
Qualities.

Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 5

 Introduction
"Did you know a young boy drowned the year before those two others were killed? The counselors
weren't paying any attention...They were making love while that young boy drowned. His name was
Jason. I was working the day that it happened. Preparing meals...here. I was the cook. Jason should've
been watched! Every minute! He was...! He wasn't a very good swimmer. We can go now...dear."
Friday the 13th: Resurrection is a Modern
campaign supplement. For more information
about D20 Modern, see Section 15 of the Open
Gaming License.
The first half of the supplement is suitable for
players and Game Masters. The last half is for
Game Masters only. This document utilizes the
th
Friday the 13 and Ghosttown fonts.
Summary
The best and worst humanity has to offer
face the stalking terror that is known as Jason
Voorhees.
Campaign in Brief
Jason Voorhees. The quintessential mass
th
murderer for the 20 century, Jason's psychotic,
hockey-masked persona has slowly evolved
from crazed killer to an unstoppable cyborg. In
this universe, Jason is real. And he's out for
blood.
Jason's racked up more murders than any
serial killer in history. His attacks have lost their
rhyme or reason, as what little is left of his mind
slowly rots to mush. Silent, invincible,
unstoppable Jason has finally garnered
enough attention that humanity decides to fight
back.
But no mere mortal can take Jason on alone.
Teenagers, psychics, cops, FBI agents, cyborgs
all have tried and failed. The PCs have but
one goal stop Jason before he stops them.
The Role of the Heroes
Friday the 13th: Resurrection spans the
years from 1958 to 2455. As Jason's murders
become more prevalent, the pressure increases
to stop him. The PCs are the best humanity has
to offer at the time in the 1950s, that's not
much.
6 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
th
Pamela Voorhees, Friday the 13
Teenagers in the 1950s around Crystal Lake
do what teenagers do get drunk and screw
around. PCs can play the role of teenagers
away at camp who stumble upon Jason. For
teenage PCs, it's more a race to survive than to
actually defeat Jason. In this time period, Jason
is still mortal and the PCs, without resources or
weapons, will have to rely on their wits to
survive.
In 1988, Jason is reanimated. Now an
undead killing machine, Jason's unreasoning
murder spree spreads even as far as New York.
Unlike the teenagers of Crystal Lake, Jason
could be met anywhere, by anyone. Adults are
only slightly better equipped to deal with a
shambling undead psychotic in a hockey mask.
Guns don't work very well, but with enough
firepower and luck, the PCs might survive an
encounter.
By 1994, society in general has had enough.
The FBI is called in to deal with the menace. In
this setting, the PCs aren't just adults, they're
adults with guns. Big guns. In fact, everyone's
out to get Jason, including bounty hunters and
cops. But as they soon find out, Jason's not just
undead he's a demon. Killing him is a lot
harder than it may seem.
By 2455, Jason is a new man literally.
Infused with nanite technology, he has been
rebuilt in a stylized image of his former self. His
brain, further affected by the damage of
cryogenic suspension, drugs, undeath, and
demonic possession, is perpetually warped into
a murderous rage. His new body has been
technologically enhanced to make him the
perfect killing machine. It's up to the EX-Grunts,
specialists in dealing with extraterrestrial threats,
to take him out.
 Department 7
Department 7 is in its infancy in the 1950s.
There are rumors of Jason but no concerted
effort to hunt him down. Agents who decide to
track Jason down do so of their own volition,
considered rogues in an X-Files-ish sort of way.
In the 1980s, Jason is more than a rumor.
After he murders a bunch of people in NYC,
Department 7 kicks into gear to track Jason
down. A small task force is formed to
investigate but not to stop Jason. Still, his
disappearance in NYC is confusing, forcing
Department 7 to work harder.
In the 1990s, Department 7 knows where
Jason's stomping grounds are (it only took 10
years!) and helps coordinate an ambush to
eliminate him. At this point, there's an entire
division dedicated to containing and controlling
Jason. There is also a super-secret watchdog
division that wants to keep Jason alive. The
PCs might get caught up in the politics of these
"counter agents" who seek to study rather than
destroy Jason.
After 2009, Department 7 doesn't have that
much to do. They may go underground as the
war on Earth escalates, only to resurface when
Jason reappears 400 years later.
Theme
th
Friday the 13 started out as the
quintessential slasher movie. An offshoot of
horror and monster movies, slasher movies
involve a psychotic killer, melee weapons, and
lots of victims. Not all horror movies are slasher
movies, but all slasher movies are horror
movies.
Teenagers. The types of teenagers are
awful (but familiar) stereotypes: the nerd, the
jock, the virgin, the stoner, etc. And of course,
said teenagers die by the carload. In fact, the
victims come and go so often that the killer, not
the victims, are really the star of the show.
Sex. Where there are teenagers, there's
sexual tension. Slasher flicks have a lot of
gratuitous sex and nudity becausewell,
because it makes it more interesting for the
teenagers who are watching it. And it also
makes it all the more horrible when people are
killed at their most vulnerable moments, similar
to the shower-stabbing scene from Psycho.
Boo! Things hop out at the protagonists
(usually false alarms, at least the first time),
people are found murdered in horrible ways, and
the killer seems to be everywhere and nowhere
at once.
Blood. Buckets of blood. Swimming pools
full of blood. Whole oceans of blood you get
the idea. It's not a slasher flick if there's not
plenty of gore as victims are hacked, mulched,
stabbed, grinded, burned, melted, ripped,
shredded, eviscerated, emboweled, decapitated,
smashed, defenestrated, or otherwise mangled
in a suitably graphic manner.
Jason was one of the first uh, fathers, if you
will, of the slasher flick. And yet, over time,
something strange happened: Jason became a
household name.
It's hard to imagine being scared of the
original Dracula, Frankenstein, or the Wolfman.
Years ago, those three horror icons terrified
teens who saw their movies. Now, all three are
a staple of Halloween, so common that even
young children can easily identify who Dracula is
(Count Chocula anyone?).
For better or worse, Jason is well on his way
to joining that hall of fame. And so, Jason has
been elevated to something more than slasher
status he is a cult icon, a character so
progressively awful and yet familiar that we end
up rooting for him. Jason's evolution follows this
path, from creepy serial killer to murdering
zombie to an alien menace that requires heavy
firepower to destroy.
And don't forget the mask. Never has a
hockey mask taken on such awful significance.
Goalies everywhere are jealous.
Background
It all started at Camp Crystal Lake. A tranquil
haven on the water, Camp Crystal Lake had a
bright future. It was popular with the kids and,
more importantly, it was a great place to make
out.
Then one day, a mentally-challenged boy
named Jason Voorhees was teased by the other
kids. Jason's bald, deformed head made him an
easy target. But the teasing went too far. Jason
fell into the lake and disappeared beneath its
inky waters. And the camp counselors? They
were too busy getting laid.
Things went downhill from there. Pamela
Voorhees, Jason's mother, was infuriated by the
lack of concern the counselors displayed for
their charges. She got revenge in a very direct
manner: murdering counselors, setting fires and
even contaminating the water to ensure that no
other children would ever drown in the lake.
Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 7
One of the surviving camp counselors
decapitated Pamela, finally halting her murder
spree.
But that was not the end of Camp Crystal
Lake's troubles. Jason Voorhees had not died.
Although he suffered further brain damage from
the near drowning, he was extremely hardy,
even as a child. When Jason witnessed his
mother's murder, whatever remaining spark of
humanity died along with his mother.
Years later, Paul Holt opened a new
counselor training camp on Crystal Lake,
despite the warnings of the locals. Wearing a
gunnysack on his head, Jason embarked on a
bloody rampage, murdering everyone around
Crystal Lake. His ability to reason was lost all
that remained was a burning revenge to kill the
people who were responsible for his mother's
death. In Jason's damaged mind, every
teenager was guilty.
Ginny Field, discovered Jason's cabin and
the disembodied head of his mother. It was
around this time that Jason picked up the
ubiquitous goalie mask he would be known for.
Shortly thereafter, Jason caught up with Ginny.
A psychology major, Ginny momentarily
confused Jason be wearing Pamela Voorhees'
sweater. Taking advantage of his hesitation,
Ginny stabbed Jason in the throat with a
machete. Ginny and Paul survived the
encounter, but so did Jason.
The next day, Jason returned to his
murderous ways, attacking the Higgins' vacation
home. Chris Higgins, like Ginny before her, put
up a fight. The conflict ended with an axe buried
in Jason's skull. Chris fainted after experiencing
a hallucination of Pamela Voorhees' bursting out
of the lake to pull her under the water. The
paramedics picked up Chris and Jason to take
them to the nearest hospital. But Jason felt just
fine
Jason hacked his way back to Crystal Lake,
brutally slaughtering the Jarvis family staying
there. Tommy Jarvis and his young sister faced
off against the masked murderer. Tommy used
his Disguise skill to make himself look like a
young Jason, which disoriented the homicidal
killer.
This time, it was final Tommy killed Jason
with his own machete. Jason was finally dead.
But even an inconvenience like death can't stop
Jason Voorhees.
Tommy's life spiraled into madness after his
encounter with the serial killer. Obsessed with
Jason and his masks, Tommy began
8 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
hallucinating at a halfway house near Crystal
Lake. Then, one patient at the halfway house
killed another. Soon after, the familiar pattern of
killings began again. Everyone assumed
Tommy was the man behind the hockey mask,
but it was actually a copycat killer known as
Roy.
Roy, a paramedic and the father of the first
victim, was enacting his revenge by pretending
the murders were the work of a revived Jason.
But Roy proved to be all too human when he
was shoved out of a barn loft and skewered on a
combine. Although Tommy was vindicated, he
was committed to a mental hospital. Jason
would forever haunt him in his dreams.
The constant bloodshed caused a serious dip
in tourism at Crystal Lake, so the locals changed
the name to Forest Green. Everyone made a
concerted effort to forget about Jason. After all,
he had been dead for a few years. The ploy
worked, and teenagers were back at Camp
Forest Green in no time.
Tommy, released from the mental hospital,
decided it was time for some direct therapy. He
dug up Jason's corpse and, in a fit of rage,
skewered it with a metal pole. Lightning struck
the pole, reanimating Jason as an undead
revenant. Seriously pissed off, Jason returned
to what he did best: killing kids.
Tommy, with the help of the sheriff's
daughter Megan, called Jason out to a final
confrontation on Crystal ahem, Forest Green
Lake. Jason's head had an encounter with an
outboard motor. That was sufficient to finally
stop Jason.
Chained to a rock, Jason sank to the bottom
of the lake. An immediate cover-up ensued. The
town reinstated Crystal Lake's name. The
deaths were claimed to have happened at
Forest Green, a "nearby town" that nobody
could ever place.
It wasn't long before Tina, a psychokinetic,
visited Crystal Lake. Her telekinetic abilities had
drowned her father and she had returned to
Crystal Lake to fight her inner demons at the
behest of her psychologist, Dr. Crews. Tina's
uncontrollable psychic powers accidentally
reanimated Jason, whowell we all know what
happened next.
Tina retaliated with all the psionics at her
disposal. She ultimately reanimates her father
(there's a LOT of bodies in that lake) who took
Jason back down with him to Crystal Lake's
watery depths. After that, Jason didn't do much
but grow algae at the bottom of Crystal Lake for
a year.
Eventually, a yacht accidentally pulled a
power cable onto Jason, jolting him into
animation once more. The yacht in turn
rendezvoused with a cruise ship for the "Senior
Cruise" bound for Manhattan. After murdering
most of the passengers, the remaining survivors
fled into New York, only to be greeted by more
apathy and violence. Jason took advantage of
the situation to paint the town red. He was
finally swept away into the sewers, washing him
out into the harbor. Like a homing pigeon,
Jason stumped his way back underwater to
Crystal Lake.
By this time, Jason's activities were just too
outrageous to ignore. Killing a few camp
counselors at some backwoods lake is one thing
going on a killing spree in New York is another
matter entirely. Law enforcement agencies were
embarrassed. The FBI's Behavioral Sciences
Unit decided it was time to get involved.
Psychologists were called in to analyze the
case. Armed with this evidence, the FBI set
their trap. They inserted Agent Elizabeth
Marcus to Crystal Lake as bait. Then they
waited.
Jason's Psychological Profile
Jason was categorized as a classic mass
murderer, a spree killer whose killings were
primarily centered around Crystal Lake. His
victims were teenagers and always happened
th
near Friday the 13 . Jason's mother had been
th
beheaded on Friday the 13 by one of the camp
counselors. The pattern of murders indicated
Jason was a disorganized violent offender. It
was likely he had low intelligence, was socially
immature, and suffered some form of childhood
abuse. He probably lived alone but somewhere
near Crystal Lake.
It worked. Jason fell for the trap and was
shot to pieces. The nightmare was over. But
Jason had one more trick up his sleeve.
The demon that had been festering within
Jason's heart took action. It hopped from body
to body even as a bounty hunter tracked it down
for the last time. He was eventually reborn and
then finally defeated with a magic dagger at the
hands of Jessica Kimble, Jason's niece. Jason
was yanked down into hell.
He stayed there, for a little while. But then
Freddy Krueger, of Elm Street fame, discovered
that the children of Springwood had forgotten
him. Determined to strike fear in the hearts of
people everywhere, Freddy thrust Jason back
into the Material Plane.
Jason did his job too well. He was killing
teens in their sleep before Freddy could claim
their souls. The two fiends engaged in a
showdown at Crystal Lake. In the end, Freddy
was impaled on his own hand and Jason floated
back to his old home: the bottom of Crystal
Lake.
The FBI traced what they believed to be a
second string of copycat murders to the
remaining teenagers who witnessed the titanic
battle. They immediately dredged Crystal Lake
only to face Jason down in a bloody battle that
ended with a lot of dead FBI agents.
Classified as a terrorist, Jason Voorhees was
given a military trial and sentenced to death at
Guantanamo, Cuba. The trial and execution
was held in secret for fear of the public getting
wind that Jason was a U.S. citizen and thus
being denied due process.
They needn't have worried. Jason was
executed by lethal injection. It didn't work. He
was gassed. That didn't work. He was
electrocuted. That didn't work either. At one
point, an angry sergeant fired a pistol into
Jason's forehead at point blank range. One
dead sergeant later, the military realized they
had someone very special on their hands.
Determined to study him, Jason was
transferred back to the new Crystal Lake
Research Facility. There were theories that the
water itself was responsible for the problem.
Jason was kept sedated for years. When he
nearly escaped, emergency cryogenic
procedures were initiated and Jason, along with
Project Leader Rowan, slept for a very long
time.
Earth went to crap in the intervening 400
years. The planet was bombed into a wasteland
due to petty warfare between smaller states that
eventually encompassed the entire globe.
Fortunately, Earth 2 was discovered about the
same time and much of humanity relocated.
Corporations became more powerful than
governments. The dreaded "Microsoft Wars"
placed high-powered technology in the hands of
the colonists of Earth 2.
Jason and Rowan were unfrozen by an
archaeological field trip. Nanotechnology
restored Rowan; Jason's undead nature woke
him up on the freighter known as Grendel. It
wasn't long before Jason hacked up the
archaeological students and even took out an
entire team of EX-Grunts assigned to the field
Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 9
trip. An android KM unit finally obliterated the
slasher zombie.
But just as technology giveth, technology
taketh away. Or maybe it's the reverse.
Anyway, Jason was rebuilt using
nanotechnology in his idealized form thanks to
the FBI records and common myths about
Jason. He transformed into a cybernetic
nightmare capable of withstanding the
considerable firepower of KM and the EX-
Grunts.
Grendel smashed into the massive Solaris
space station, setting off a chain reaction that
destroyed them both. That's right, Jason was
single-handedly responsible for destroying an
entire space station.
With few options left, Rowan managed to
release Jason into space, but even zero gravity
is not enough to stop him. EX-Grunt Sergeant
Brodski grappled with Jason in space,
plummeting them both into Earth 2's
atmosphere.
But even a little thing like burning up in
reentry can't stop Jason Voorhees

"I doubt Jason would have even known the meaning of death, or at least until that horrible night. He
must've seen the whole thing happen. He must've seen his mother get killed, and all just 'cause she loved

happened? Her love for him? Bizarre isn't it? He must be out there crying for her return. Her resurrection."

The key component of the EX-Grunt Division
is the Strike Team. A Strike Team consists of
four EX-Grunts, including a Corporal, a Lance
Corporal, and two Privates/Privates First Class.
Each Strike Team divides into two-man
fireteams: the Rifle Team and the Gun Team.
The Rifle team consists of a pair of riflemen
assigned together on the "buddy" system, both
equipped with a grunt-gun. The Gun Team is
made up of a rifleman with an grunt-gun and a
Sniper Specialist carrying the automatic sniper
gun.
Two sections, led by a lieutenant, form a rifle
platoon. All told, this constitutes up to 25 EX-
Grunts. Platoons commonly carry one or two
Androids in a technical or scientific role.

Science Androids as PCs
Androids are essentially robots that are
human in appearance. Androids were developed
by the early 22nd century to a degree where
they were externally indistinguishable from a
normal human being. Internally, the Androids
body is laid out much like a humans, with an
artificial skeleton, though instead of organs there
are machine parts, and instead of veins there
are wires.
The most recent model is the KM, a science
droid that is also built to act as a sexual
companion on long voyages. Androids are
generally noted as having passive, or neutral
personalities, and also serve the purpose of
morale officer.
The majority of Androids in military service
appear as mature, average females around 20
years of age.
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -
2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma: Androids are faster,
stronger, and more capable of withstanding
damage. They do not have a constitution score.
They are also built to high standards of human
beauty, which compliments their role as sexual
companion.
Base Hit Points: Androids are Medium-size
and gain 2d10 base hit points from their
endoskeleton. The result of the dice roll is
added to the characters' maximum hit points for
their first class level.
Medium Size: As Medium sized creatures,
Androids have no special bonuses or penalties
due to their size.
Base Speed 30 feet: Androids move at the
same speed of humans.
Low-Light Vision: An Android can see twice
as far as a human in starlight, moonlight,
torchlight, and similar conditions of poor
illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish
color and detail under these conditions.
Two-Weapon Fighting: Due to their artificial
brains and robotic bodies, Androids do not favor
one hand like organic beings. Androids receive
the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for free.
No Lungs or Stomach: Androids have no
sense of smell or taste, they do not eat or drink,
do not breathe, and cannot ingest drugs.
No Mind: Androids cannot be affected by
any F/X that affect the mind. Although they are
capable of independent thought, psychological
attacks do not affect them. Androids are
immune to fear and morale effects.
Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 15
 Construct: As constructs, Androids are
immune to poison, stunning, disease, subdual
damage, and damage or drain to physical ability
scores. They are subject to critical hits but do
not have minds per se and cannot be affected
by mental abilities.
+2 racial bonus to Computer Use,
Knowledge, and Research checks: Androids
are programmed as walking databases and work
with other computers to get answers on anything
and everything.
16 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
ECL: 5. Androids make for interesting party
members and the later models are programmed
with a desire for intimacy that borders on
"clingy." They are exceptionally loyal to their
assigned companions but can be perceived as
sexually and physically intimidating by other
humans.

"They coulda danced a jig on it an' fed it to goats -- don't matter. Ya' can't kill Jason by gettin' rid of his
body. He'll come back the way he always do, to drag the kiddies into the darkness and crush their little
skulls -- maybe even your skull, Mr. Campbell."
New Feats
Low-G, High-G, and Zero-G feats are
appropriate for Jason X campaigns. All other
feats are appropriate for any other time period.
Awesome Blow [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Str 25, Power Attack,
Improved Bull Rush, size Large or larger.
Benefit: As a standard action, the creature
may choose to subtract 4 from its melee attack
roll and deliver an awesome blow. If the creature
hits a corporeal opponent smaller than itself with
an awesome blow, its opponent must succeed
on a Reflex save (DC = damage dealt) or be
knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of the
attacking creatures choice and fall prone. The
attacking creature can only push the opponent in
a straight line, and the opponent cant move
closer to the attacking creature than the square
it started in. If an obstacle prevents the
completion of the opponents move, the
opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6 points
of damage, and the opponent stops in the space
adjacent to the obstacle.
High-G Maneuvering [GENERAL]
The character is practiced at moving and
fighting effectively in gravities from 1.1 G and
higher. Characters with no special training have
a hard time moving, much less fighting, in high
gravity.
Effect: The character operates in these
environments with no penalty to Attack or Skill
checks, and moves at Full Speed.
Normal: Characters without this feat in light
gravity take a 2 circumstance penalty on attack
rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and Tumble
checks. All items weigh half as much. Projectile
weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
th
Drake, Friday the 13 , Part 9
Low-G Maneuvering [GENERAL]
The character is practiced at moving and
fighting effectively in gravities from .8 to .1 G.
Characters with no special training have a hard
time moving, much less fighting, in low gravity.
Effect: The character operates in these
environments with no penalty to Attack or Skill
checks, and moves at Full Speed.
Normal: Characters without this feat in light
gravity take a 2 circumstance penalty on attack
rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and Tumble
checks. All items weigh half as much. Projectile
weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
Improvised Implements
[GENERAL]
Benefit: The character no longer takes a 4
penalty when wielding an improvised weapon.
Also, the character is able to make do without
proper equipment in certain circumstances: the
Infiltrator no longer takes a 4 penalty when
using the Climb and Disable Device skills
without the proper tools.
Improvised Weapon Damage
[GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Improvised Implements.
Benefit: The character's attacks with
improvised weapons deal more damage. The
character treats an improvised weapon as one
size category larger than it is for the purpose of
determining the damage it deals.
Virgin [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: If you don't know, ask your
parents.
Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 17
 Benefit: So long as the character retains his
or her virginity, he receives a +2 morale bonus
to all saving throws. Characters who lose their
virginity immediately lose this feat and become
Jason-bait.
Zero-G Maneuvering [GENERAL]
The character is practiced at moving and
fighting effectively in micro gravity (less than .1
G, also called zero G). The character is
practiced at moving and fighting effectively in
micro gravity. Characters with no special training
will be spending all their time trying to stay
oriented. If a character without experience or
training in micro gravity gets involved in a fight,
he doesnt stand much of a chance. Even if his
opponent doesnt kill him, the character could
send him spinning off into infinity by not
adjusting for the recoil of his weapon.
Prerequisites: Dex 13+, Low-G
Maneuvering
Effect: The character operates in these
environments with no penalty to Attack or Skill
checks, and is able to deal with weapons that
have recoil more effectively. The character must
still make a Reflex Save to use a weapon with
Recoil, but he suffers only half the normal Recoil
penalty to his Save, and is only considered Flat-
Footed if he fails, not prone.
Normal: Characters without this feat move at
1/4 Speed, suffer -6 to Attack and Skill checks,
modified by their Dex Modifier. Also, if the
character is using a weapon with a Recoil
Rating, he must make a Reflex Save each round
he attacks with that weapon (DC 15, modified by
the weapons Recoil), or be considered prone,
floating away in a random direction each round
until he is able to either grab onto a solid object
or make a Balance check (DC as above +5) to
right himself. Also, if the character is forced to
make a Reflex save for any reason and fails, he
suffers the above result.
Powers

Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Power Resistance: No
18 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
Power Points: 7
This power allows the manifester to animate
the dead. The manifester can animate one HD
of an undead corpse per level. If the corpse has
no body, it reanimates as a ghost. If it has only
bones, it reanimates as a skeleton. If it has
flesh, it reanimates as a zombie.
If an undead being was killed but its corpse is
still intact, this power reanimates the undead
being to full strength. Created undead are not
automatically under the control of their animator.
If the manifester are capable of commanding
undead, the manifester may attempt to
command the undead creature as it forms.
Lesser Domination
Telepathy (Cha) [Compulsion, Mind-
Affecting, Language-Dependent]
Level: Psychokinetic 3
Display: Me
Manifestation Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One humanoid of Medium-size or
smaller
Duration: 1 day/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 7
The manifester can control the actions of any
humanoid of Medium-size or smaller. The
manifester establishes a telepathic link with the
subjects mind. The manifester can generally
force the subject to perform as he or she
desires, within the limits of the subjects abilities.
The manifester knows what the subject is
experiencing but does not receive direct sensory
input from him or her.
Subjects resist this control, and those forced
to take actions against their natures receive a
new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4,
depending on the type of action required.
Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried
out. Once control is established, the range at
which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as
the manifester and subject are on the same
plane. The manifester need not see the subject
to control it.
Protection from evil or a similar spell or
power can prevent the manifester from
exercising control or using the telepathic link
while the subject is so warded, but it does not
prevent the establishment of domination or
negate it.

Grunt-Gun
The grunt-gun is a 10mm pulse-action air-
cooled automatic assault rifle, the basic rifle of
the EX-Grunt Corps. The standard service
variant has an over-and-under configuration that
incorporates a PN 30mm ump-action grenade
launcher. A 3x power AN/RVS-52 CCD
television sight can be optionally fitted to the
carrying handle.
The grunt-gun fires the standard US M309
10mm x 24 round. This ammunition comprises
a 210-grain projectile embedded with a
rectangular caseless propellant block of
Nitramine 50. The standard ammunition clip
holds up to 99 M309 rounds in "U" bend
conveyor, which feeds the rounds mechanically
into the rotating breech mechanism. An LED
display just below the receiver indicates the
remaining ammo. A Lithium battery in the
carrying handle provides electrical power for the
gun's motor mechanism. The battery is good for
10,000 rounds and can be recharged from a rifle
rack or with a portable power clip.
Campaign: Jason X.
Sniper Rifle
The sniper rifle is a 10mm pulse action semi-
automatic rifle employed as the primary sniper
weapon by the EX-Grunts. It has a high degree
of interchangeability with the grunt-gun, capable
of using the standard 10mm x 28 caseless
rounds. Barrel options include a flash
suppressor or a muzzle brake for long-range
shooting. When using the suppressor, its
difficult to tell where the sound is coming from,
requiring a Listen check (DC 15) to locate the
source of the gunfire.
Ammunition is fed from a 15 round magazine
inserted beneath the stock of the rifle. The
HEAP round has a maximum effective range of
2,950 meters. A combined, multi-spectral
twenty-power passive sensor scope is mounted
over the receiver.
The scope display shows a composite image
based on visual, infrared, and electromagnetic
emissions. The scope increases the range
increment by one-half (multiply by 1.5).
However, to use a scope a character must
spend an attack action acquiring his or her
target. If the character changes targets or
otherwise lose sight of the target, he or she must
reacquire the target to gain the benefit of the
scope. The scope works in darkness -- the user

ability granted by night vision goggles.
The scope is accompanied by a PARGET

acquire a new target. Thereafter, PARGET

suspect. If successful, the Bounty Hunter
combines eyewitness accounts with forensic
evidence to develop a profile of the suspects
method of operation. This provides a +2
circumstance bonus on any skill checks made to
uncover additional evidence or otherwise locate
and capture the suspect.
Contact
A Bounty Hunter of 2nd level or higher
cultivates associates and informants. Each time
the Bounty Hunter gains a contact, the GM
should develop a supporting character to
represent the contact. The player can suggest
the type of contact his or her character wants to
gain, but the contact must be an ordinary
character, not a heroic character.
A contact will not accompany a Bounty
Hunter on missions or risk his or her life. A
contact can, however, provide information or
render a service (make a specific skill check on
the Bounty Hunters behalf).
At 2nd level, the Bounty Hunter gains a low-
level contact, at 5th level a mid-level contact,
and at 8th level a high-level contact.
The Bounty Hunter cant call on the same
contact more than once in a week, and when he
or she does call on a contact, compensation
may be required for the assistance the contact
renders. In general, a occupational associate
wont be compensated monetarily, but instead
will consider that the Bounty Hunter owes him or
her a favor. Contacts with underworld or street
connections usually demand monetary
compensation for the services they render, and
experts in the use of skills normally want to be
paid for the services they provide.
For underworld or street contacts, this
expense is represented by a Wealth check
against a purchase DC of 10 for the low-level
contact, 15 for the mid-level contact, or 20 for
the high-level contact. For skilled experts, the
purchase DC is 10 + the ranks the expert has in
the appropriate skill.
Bonus Feats
26 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Bounty Hunter
gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must be
selected from the following list, and the Bounty
Hunter must meet all the prerequisites of the
feat to select it.
Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Armor
Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency (medium),
Brawl, Defensive Martial Arts, Dodge, Double
Tap, Educated, Knockout Punch, Personal
Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot.
Non-lethal Force
At 4th level, a Bounty Hunter becomes adept
at using non-lethal force to subdue an opponent.
From this point on, he or she can deal non-lethal
damage with a weapon that normally deals
lethal damage (if he or she so chooses) without
taking the normal 4 penalty on the attack roll.
Discern Lie
At 7th level, a Bounty Hunter develops the
ability to gauge whether another character is
telling the truth by reading facial expressions
and interpreting body language. The Bounty
Hunter must be able to see and hear (but not
necessarily understand) the individual under
scrutiny.
With a successful Sense Motive check
opposed by the subjects Bluff check result or
against DC 10 (whichever is greater), the Bounty
Hunter can tell whether the subject is
deliberately and knowingly speaking a lie. This
ability doesnt reveal the truth, uncover
unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal
omissions in information.
Sixth Sense
At 10th level, a Bounty Hunter becomes so
attuned at solving mysteries that he or she finds
a way to put two and two together and rarely
misses a clue. Whenever the Bounty Hunter
spends 1 action point to improve the result of a
skill check made using certain skills (see below),
the Bounty Hunter gets to add an additional 1d6
to the result.
The skills that sixth sense applies to are
Gather Information, Investigate, Listen,
Research, Search, and Spot.

Tactical Aid
As an attack action, the Close Combat
Specialist provides tactical aid to any single ally
(but not him or herself) within sight and voice
range of the Close Combat Specialists position.
As a full-round action, the Close Combat
Specialist provides tactical aid to all of his or her
allies (including him or herself) within sight and
voice range of the Close Combat Specialists
position.
This aid provides either a competence bonus
on attack rolls or a dodge bonus to Defense
(Close Combat Specialists choice). This bonus
is equal to the Close Combat Specialists
Intelligence modifier (minimum +1), and it lasts
for a number of rounds equal to one-half of the
Close Combat Specialists level in the advanced
class, rounded down.

The Close Combat Specialist gains greater
weapon specialization with the weapon he or
she selected at 2nd level. This ability increases
the bonus on damage rolls to +4 when using the
selected weapon.
28 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
Critical Strike
The Close Combat Specialist gains the ability
to automatically confirm a threat as a critical hit
when attacking with the weapon he or she has
applied weapon specialization to, eliminating the
need to make a roll to confirm the critical hit.
Iron Fist
The Close Combat Specialist gains the ability
to spend 1 action point to increase the damage
he or she deals to a single opponent with a
single unarmed strike. The martial artist declares
the use of the action point after making a
successful unarmed strike. The result of the
action point roll is added to the damage roll for
that attack.
At 10th level, this ability improves. The Close
Combat Specialist now adds the result of the
action point roll to all successful attacks he or
she makes in a round.
Flurry of Blows
The Close Combat Specialist gains the ability
to strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of
accuracy. The Close Combat Specialist must be
unarmored to use this talent, and he or she must
make unarmed strikes to gain the benefit. With a
flurry of blows, the Close Combat Specialist may
make one extra attack in a round at his or her
highest base attack bonus. This attack and each
other attack made in the round take a 2
penalty. Using this ability is a full-round action.

Humanity has spread like a disease to the
rest of the universe, terraforming, colonizing,
and stripping planets for their own purposes,
only to pull up and move on. Most planets have
been disappointing few are made from human
habitation. Although dangerous life forms have
been encountered, none of them are intelligent
enough to pose a threat. So far
How It Works
There are two kinds of drives that power
spacecraft: Displacement Drives and Jump
Drives.
Displacement Drives displace the volume of
space directly in front of a spacecraft and drawn
the ship forward. It is a reactionless process,
capable of generating hundreds of G's of
acceleration. Theoretically, the maximum speed
of such a drive is the speed of light. In reality,
the massive amounts of energy consumed make
such a speed impossible. Most drives equipped
with Displacement Drives move at one-third the
speed of light as a result. As a result, very fast
ships have massive engines and little room for a
crew. The majority of ships have Displacement
Drives only and are restricted to their local
systems.
Jump Drives, on the other hand, build on the
reaction of Displacement Drives. It can be
activated when the spacecraft reaches one-fifth
the speed of light. Instead of distorting space,
the Jump Drive punches through it, allowing the
ship to enter hyperspace and emerge into
normal space several light years away. The
jump takes approximately 24 hours. Upon
arrival, the Jump Drive must recharge for six
days. During the six-day period, both Drives are
utterly inactive and very vulnerable to attack.
Jump Drives require accurate navigation
coordinates. The military had this knowledge
first, but Corporations eventually begged,
borrowed, and stole the information. In addition,
automated probes can be sent toward a star. If
it reaches the star's gravity well, the probe has
th

time to recharge its drives and return, feeding
the coordinates to their owners. This is a very
imprecise and costly process probes that are
off by a few coordinates can be billions of miles
off target.
All Jump Drives have a Jump Value ranging
from 1 to 5. For each Jump Value, the ship can
Jump 5 light years. In the Planet descriptions
below, all distances are given in the number of 5
light year Jumps necessary to cover the
distance. Thus, a ship with a Jump Value of 5
can cover a distance of 50 light years (or a Jump
Value of 10) with two jumps.
Spacecraft undergo considerable strain as a
result of Displacement and Jump travel. They
can only be serviced at bases, and each ship
takes approximately one month to maintain.
Most ships require service after 25 Jumps.
Pushing a ship further requires a Pilot check
(DC = 10 + # of weeks beyond 25).
If the Pilot check fails by 5, it is stranded. The
Drive used at the time (Displacement or Jump)
fails and cannot be repaired.
If the Pilot check fails by 10, it is powerless.
The vessel cannot use Jump or Displacement
Drives and can only support emergency life
support.
If the Pilot check fails by 11 or more, the ship
explodes in 1d20 rounds.
Landing on Planets
Landing on a planet with an aerodynamic
craft requires a piloting check of 20, minus the
size of the planet (the larger the planet is, the
more likely a flat stretch of ground suitable for a
landing field will be discovered), minus the AS.
Unless there are special conditions on the
planet, such as a tumultuous atmosphere or a
storm system that make the landing difficult, the
pilot can take 10 on this check.
Sometimes a ship will crash while landing. If
a ship that isnt aerodynamic is forced to land, a
Friday the 13th: Resurrection - 43
crash landing is the only kind of landing it can
make. When a ship makes a crash landing, it
takes damage based on its size as follows:
Colossal Ships take 16d6 Hull Points,
Gargantuan Ships 12d6, Huge Ships 9d6, Large
6d6, Medium 6d6, Small 5d6, Tiny 4d6, and
Diminutive 3d6. A Ship also suffers 1-6 Critical
Hits, one of which is always a Major Hull critical
from a crash landing. A Piloting check of 25
reduces the damage and number of criticals by
half.
Planets
The EX-Grunt Corps has conducted military
operations on more than two-dozen worlds and
deployed to trouble spots on many more.
Regardless of the temperature, climate, or
atmospheric conditions, EX-Grunts have to be
ready to fight.
Size: A planet's Size Rating is equal to its
radius in kilometers divided by 1,000. It takes a
ship a number of minutes equal to the planets
size, minus one minute per five points of the
ships Acceleration, to clear the atmosphere of a
planet. An aerodynamic ship, fighting an
opponent whose ship is not aerodynamic, is
unlikely to want to leave the atmosphere of any
planet. The size of a planet also determines its
gravity type.
Heavy gravity causes Balance, Climb,
Jump, Ride, Swim, and Tumble checks incur a
2 circumstance penalty, as do all attack rolls. All
item weights are effectively doubled, which
might affect a characters speed. Weapon
ranges are halved. A characters Strength and
Dexterity scores are not affected. Characters
who fall on a heavy gravity planet take 1d10
points of damage for each 10 feet fallen, to a
maximum of 20d10 points of damage.
Light gravity causes creatures to find that
they can lift more, but their movements tend to
be ungainly. Characters on a planet with the
light gravity trait take a 2 circumstance penalty
on attack rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and
Tumble checks. All items weigh half as much.
Weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
Strength and Dexterity dont change as a
result of light gravity, but what you can do with
such scores does change. These advantages
apply to travelers from other planes as well as
natives.
Falling characters on a light gravity plane
take 1d4 points of damage for each 10 feet of
the fall (maximum 20d4).
44 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
No gravity causes individuals on a planet
with this trait to merely float in space, unless
other resources are available to provide a
direction for gravitys pull. Characters without the

grab onto a solid object or make a Balance

the character is forced to make a Reflex save for
any reason and fails, he suffers the above result.
Atmospheric Standard: The Atmospheric
Standard (AS) is the practical measure the EX-
Grunt Corps uses to determine how an EX-
Grunt will perform under different planetary
conditions. The Atmospheric Standard for Earth
is 1.
An AS of 1 is what all terraformers aspire to.
To that end, cone-shaped atmosphere
processors are placed on inhospitable planets.
Powered by a 1.0 Terawatt fusion reactor, it
draws in the planetary atmospheres through a
series of louvers in the base and sides. This
atmosphere is then drawn up through a series of
hot mass processors, arranged in a ring around
the fusion core. Each processor draws in the
atmosphere through a battery of turbines, which
compress and accelerate the gas. The gas is
passed through a high temperature electrical
arc, which heats the gas and ionizes it.
Magnetic coils then heat the gas to near plasma
temperatures until the molecules are
disassociated into their component atoms. The
harmful byproducts are separated while the
remaining hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
atoms are expelled back into the atmosphere.
It is possible for a planet to have an
Atmospheric Standard without any specific
notation this means the planet may be
uncomfortable for human beings but not harmful.
Use Atmospheric Standards as modifiers
whenever a penalty would be accrued due to the
planet's particular environment.
High-pressure atmospheres inflict pressure
damage of 1d6 points per minute for every AS of
the planet's rating. A successful Fortitude save
(DC 15, +1 for each previous check) means the
EX-Grunt takes no damage in that minute.

Corpse

A corpse is above and beyond a zombie;
infused with a greater amount of negative
energy upon creation, a corpse gains great
strength and retains most of its intellect and
cunning. Upon creation, a corpse loses most of
its personality, but its creators rarely have the
compassion to care about the creatures new
status.
Corpses understand all languages they knew
in life, but rarely (if ever) speak.
Template Traits
Corpse is an acquired template that can be
applied to any living, corporeal, nonplant
creature (referred to hereafter as the base
creature). The creatures type changes to
undead. It uses all the base creatures statistics
and special abilities except as noted here.
Challenge Rating: Same as the base
creature +1.
Undead: Corpses have the traits and
immunities common to undead.
Hit Dice: Change to d12.
Speed: If the base creature could fly, its
manoeuvrability rating as a corpse drops to
clumsy.
Defence: The base creature gains a +2
natural armour bonus, unless the base creature
already has a natural armour score greater than
2.
Abilities: Adjust the base creatures abilities

The Voorhees demon is about a foot and a
half in length and resembles a skeletal lizard
with only two legs. It normally resides in the
undead Jason's heart.
Combat
If a Voorhees demon is forced to show itself,
something has gone terribly wrong. It will

Allegiance: Hell
Campaign: Jason X
In this form, Jason has been reconstructed
using a Nanotech 2000. It rebuilt Jason by
drawing on the myths and legends of his past to
create an idealized killing machine. One leg and
arm are completely made of metal. His clothes
are no longer tattered and are instead made of
black fabric. Most importantly, Jason's mask is
made of chrome.
Combat
Like Jason, his machete has been reformed
to become the ultimate killer's blade. It is a +3
mastercraft greatsword. Similarly, Jason's new
limbs and armor increase his damage reduction
to 10 and his defense by +8.
Blindsight (Ex): A demon can ascertain
creatures by nonvisual means within 60 feet.
The demon confers blindsight upon its host.
Constrict (Ex): Jason can crush an
opponent, dealing 2d8 points of bludgeoning
damage, after making a successful grapple
check. Jason deals constriction damage in
addition to damage dealt by his slam attack.
Jason Voorhees, Cybernetic
Damage Reduction (Su): Jason ignores
damage from most weapons and natural
attacks. The weapon thuds into Jason's flesh but
does no damage. Jason takes normal damage
from energy attacks (even non-magical ones),
spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural
abilities.
Darkvision (Su): Out to 60 feet.
Energy Resistance (Su): An attack that
deals cold or fire damage slows Jason (as the
slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw.
An attack that deals electricity damage breaks
any slow effect on Jason and heals 1 point of
damage for every 3 points of damage the attack
would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing
would cause Jason to exceed his full normal hit
points, he gains any excess as temporary hit
points. Jason gets no saving throw against
attacks that deal electricity damage. In all cases,
energy attacks do not deal Jason any damage.
Fast Healing (Ex): Jason regains hit points
at an exceptionally fast rate, at 5 hit points per
round, as given in Jasons entry.
Flashbacks (Ex): Clever opponents can do
something to remind Jason of his almost-
forgotten life (e.g., anything that reminds him of
his mother). If this happens, Jason takes no
action for 1 round and thereafter suffers a -2
morale penalty to all attacks directed at that
opponent.
Frightful Presence (Ex): This special quality
makes Jasons very presence unsettling to foes.
It takes effect automatically when Jason
performs some sort of dramatic action (such as
charging or attacking). Opponents within range
who witness the action may become frightened
or shaken. The range is 30 feet, and the
duration is 5d6 rounds. This ability affects only
opponents with fewer Hit Dice or levels than
Jason has. An affected opponent can resist the
effects with a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2
Jason's racial HD + Jason's Cha modifier). An
opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is
immune to Jason's frightful presence for 24
hours. Frightful presence is a mind-affecting fear
effect.
Immunities (Su): To some mind-affecting
effects (charms, compulsions and patterns),
poison, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death
effects. Not subject to critical hits, non-lethal
damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune

as to fatigue and exhaustion effects. Immunity to
any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless
the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage.
Jason does not eat.
Improved Grab (Ex): If Jason hits with his
slam, he deals normal damage and attempts to
start a grapple as a free action without provoking
an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is
required. Improved grab works only against
opponents at least one size category smaller
than Jason. Jason has the option to conduct the
grapple normally, or simply use his hand to hold
the opponent. If he chooses to do the latter, he
takes a 20 penalty on grapple checks, but is
not considered grappled himself; Jason does not
lose his Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an
area, and can use its remaining attacks against
other opponents. If Jason does not constrict,
each successful grapple check he makes during
successive rounds automatically deals the
damage indicated for the attack that established
the hold. Otherwise, Jason deals constriction
damage as well. When Jason gets a hold after
an improved grab attack, he pulls the opponent
into his space. This act does not provoke attacks
of opportunity. He can even move (possibly
carrying away the opponent), provided he can
drag the opponents weight.
Pounce (Ex): When Jason makes a charge,
he can follow with a full attack.
Psionics (Sp): 3/daylesser domination.
These abilities are as the psionic powers of an
8th-level manifester.
Regeneration (Ex): Jason is difficult to kill.
Damage dealt to Jason is treated as non-lethal
damage. Jason automatically heals non-lethal
damage at a fixed rate of 1 hit point per round.
Attack forms that dont deal hit point damage
52 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
ignore regeneration. Jason can regrow lost
portions of his body and can reattach severed
limbs or body parts. Severed parts that are not
reattached wither and die normally.
Rejuvenation (Su): Its difficult to destroy
Jason through simple combat: He will restore
th
himself on the next Friday the 13 . Even the
most powerful spells are usually only temporary
solutions. If Jason would otherwise be
destroyed, he returns to Crystal Lake with a
successful level check (1d20 + Jason's HD)
against DC 16. The only way to get rid of Jason
permanently is for him to be killed by a blood
relative wielding the dagger of banishing.
Resistance to Massive Damage (Ex):
Demons gain a +5 species bonus on Fortitude
saves to negate the effects of massive damage.
This ability is conferred upon the demons host
as well.
Robust: Jason is especially robust, gaining a
number of hit points equal to his or her Tough
level as soon as he selects this talent.
Thereafter, Jason gains +1 hit point with each
level of Tough he gains.
Skills: Jason uses his Strength bonus for
Intimidate checks. Jason receives a +4 racial
bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks. On
th
Friday the 13 , Jason's bonus to Hide and Move
Silently checks increases to +8. The host gains

Thrall (Sp): If Jason can get a successful

the victim's mouth. The thralled host will carry
out the orders of the demon, including self-
destructive orders. If the demon enters a blood
relative of Jason Voorhees, the body

Combat
Jason's become quite skilled at killing people.

When Tommy accidentally reanimated
Jason, things took a turn for the worse. As an
undead revenant, Jason is relentless in his
single-minded quest to destroy every single
teenager in sight. Although he is eventually
drawn back to Crystal Lake, he never passes up
the opportunity to kill someone.
Combat
Jason isn't subtle. He stumps towards
opponents with a deadly intensity. However, he
can also be quite cunning, stalking opponents
and disappearing into the shadows until the
opportune moment strikes. Jason doesn't
understand the concept of defense and will
attack heedless of any physical dangers or
traps.

heart will survive and the Voorhees demon (q.v.)
that resides in his heart will awaken. The only
way to get rid of Jason permanently is for him to
be killed by a blood relative wielding the dagger
of banishing.
Robust: Jason is especially robust, gaining a
number of hit points equal to his or her Tough
level as soon as he selects this talent.

Jason Voorhees (1946-1957) was the son of
Pamela Voorhees. Jason was physically
hideous, but Pamela loved him nonetheless. He
died when he drowned in Crystal Lake at the
age of 11; the Camp Crystal Lake counsellors
who should have been on duty were not there.
Pamela lost her mind and started attacking
the campground. Despite her best attempts to
keep the camp closed, it reopened several
58 - Friday the 13th: Resurrection
Jason Voorhees, Epic Undead
times, until she totally snapped and started
murdering the counsellors. She took ten lives
before Annie, the last surviving counsellor,
decapitated her. An unknown assailant
murdered Annie several months later.
The camp was reopened, but the murders
began again; Jason had somehow come back
from death, wearing a pillowcase over his head.
He killed six before a female counsellor took him
down with a machete to the shoulder.
It didnt stop him, and Jason came back for
more, taking a hockey mask from one of his next
kills and wearing one ever since. An axe to the
head brought him down, but he came back from
death at the morgue, and carved a bloody trail
back to Crystal Lake, where a 12-year old boy,
Tommy Jarvis, brought him down and hacked at
his corpse relentlessly. Jason was buried, and
Tommy was sent to a mental institution.
When Tommy was transferred to Pinehurst,
the killings began again. However, this time,
Jason was the father of one of the Pinehurst
patients who was brutally killed by another.
Tommy, plagued by hallucinations, dug up
Jasons body and impaled it repeatedly with an
iron spike. Lightning hit the spike, reviving the
killer, and he returned to Crystal Lake (renamed
Forest Green), killing many more before Tommy
drew him out into the lake and chained him to a
heavy rock at the bottom.
A psychokinetic woman accidentally brought
him back to the surface, where he killed more
until he was returned to his watery tomb. A
passing boats anchor snagged an underwater
cable and zapped him, restoring him to life. He
climbed on board and killed the occupants, and
boarded another boat carrying vacationing
teenagers. The boat arrived in Manhattan, and
he almost killed all of them until he was
destroyed in the sewers by a flood of toxic
wastes.

Campaign: F13, Part 2-X
Surely, no good could come of chopping off
Pamela Voorhees' head. Sure enough, the
demonic same forces that animate Jason's body
decided to make Pamela one pissed off head.
Combat
Pamela attacks by biting with her jagged
teeth. Pamelas natural weapons are treated as
damage reduction. Pamela's primary goal is to
poison victims for Jason. If Pamela's floating
head is around, she can command Jason to do
her bidding. Is it any wonder why Jason is so
screwed up?
Shriek (Su): Instead of biting, Pamela can
open her distended mouth and let out a terrible
shriek. Those within 60 feet (except Jason) who
hear the shriek and can clearly see Pamela
must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be
paralyzed with fear for 2d4 rounds or until she
attacks them, goes out of range, or leaves their
sight. A creature that successfully saves cannot
be affected again by Pamelas shriek for 24
hours. The shriek is a mind-affecting fear effect.
The save DC is Constitution-based and includes
a +1 racial bonus.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 12 or be
unable to heal Pamelas bite damage naturally
or magically. A neutralize poison or heal spell
removes the effect, while delay poison allows
magical healing. The save DC is Constitution-
based and includes a +1 racial bonus.

Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 5

 In t r o du c t io n
"Are you troubled by strange noises in the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your
basement or attic? Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost? If the answer is yes,
then don't wait another minute. Just pick up the phone and call the professionals -- Ghostbusters."
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? is a
Modern campaign supplement. For more
information about D20 Modern, see Section 15
of the Open Gaming License.
The first half of the supplement is suitable for
players and Game Masters. The last half is for
Game Masters only. This document's headers
use the Ghostbusting font.
Summary
Modern heroes battle the supernatural with
psuedo-science and humor.
Campaign in Brief
What if ghosts aren't really supernatural
concepts, but creatures with their own biology?
And if ghosts have their own biology, then using
scientific principals, they can be thwarted if not
destroyed, at least captured. And if ghosts can
be capturedwell, then somebody can get rich
doing it.
Enter the Ghostbusters. Hobbled together by
a group of misfit scientists, they attempted to
use parapsychology for profit and, at least some
of the time, succeeded.
In the 80s, Ghostbusting was a novelty. The
end of the world brought on a lot of supernatural
phenomena and, thanks to a lot of strange
science and the Ghostbusters, was narrowly
averted.
By the end of the 80s, Ghostbusters were
dealing less with the supernatural and more with
problems like New York "not giving off a good
vibe." The Ghostbusters were called upon again
to do something about it and they moved pieces
of NY's monuments to do it.
Life as a Ghostbuster is never predictable.
The wax and wane of supernatural activity
seems to vary without rhyme or reason the
80s was rife with supernatural phenomena but
6 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Ray Stantz, Ghostbusters
there were entire years that were actually quite
boring. At least, for a Ghostbuster.
As the world changed, so too did the nature
of Ghostbusting. With a heightened awareness
for global terrorism, the psychic energy matrix of
the Earth is boiling with anger, fear, and hate
ghosts are more common than ever before.
And what do you need when the world is
gripped in fear and suspicious of everything that
moves? You need a Ghostbuster: a man or
woman who, backed by nuclear weapons, blast
a stream of barely harnessed energy at
whatever you're afraid of, and do it with a smile
and a small service fee.
The Role of the Heroes
There are two corporate entities that carry
the Ghostbusters name: Ghostbusters, Inc., and
Ghostbusters International. Ghostbusters Inc.,
is the original franchise created in the movie.
Their territory is Manhattan. Ghosterbusters, Inc.
is the parent corporation and majority
stockholder of Ghostbusters International (GBI).
Louis Tully, an accountant, runs
Ghostbusters International. The franchise
contract that enterprising Ghostbusters sign is
built around missions. Ghostbusters
International makes a mission request and the
local franchise receives no payment except
credit.
GBI receives payment directly from clients
and, after all taking into account all property
damage, risk of life and limb, ruffled politicians
who need to be bribed, etc., the GBI franchise
may (emphasis on MAY) see SOME of that
payment. Most often, the GBI franchise doesn't
have to pay GBI for that month to retain the
license.
Remember in the Middle Ages where
peasants had to work their butts off on farmland,
seven days a week, so the local lord would allow
them to live on his land? Ghostbusting is like
that. Only there are ghosts and screaming and
running and property damage.
Okay, so it's EXACTLY like the Middle Ages.
The first rule of ghostbusting is this: it ain't
cheap. To start off in a franchise, Ghostbusters
have to sell or mortgage everything they own.
This is why most Ghostbusters aren't married.
They collectively scrape up enough money to
eat for a week and take out ads. In return,
Ghostbusters become part of the Ghostbuster
franchise.
The Ghostbusters who join the franchise
have the following rights:
1. The right to use the Ghostbuster name.
2. The exclusive district right to purchase and
operate Ghostbusters equipment in their
territory.
3. An exclusive territory within which they act
as representatives for Ghostbusters
International.
In exchange for these rights, the
Ghostbusters must follow a Code of Conduct.
Ghostbusters will:
Offer quality service within its territory.
Promptly attend to consumer complaints.
Properly contain or otherwise neutralize
supernatural agents.
Intelligently utilize and maintain all devices
patented and sold exclusively by
Ghostbusters, Inc.
Hold Ghostbusters, Inc. and Ghostbusters
International free from all but reasonable
customer complaints.
A Ghostbuster franchise begins with one
standard proton pack for each Ghostbuster, one
PKE meter, three standard ghost traps per
Ghostbuster, and an ecto-containment unit.
Department 7
The Ghostbusters have worked on
government projects before, including flying on
the space shuttle and clearing out ghosts in the
Pentagon. Colonel Sullivan has enlisted their
help in unlocking Professor Ian Epimetheus'
interdimensional gateway to the Flipside
Dimension.
General George Armstrong Badge is the
leader of the top-secret government agency
known as ARMOR (Advanced Radical Military
Occult Railroad). He fought in the "Unearth
War", a secret part of the Vietnam conflict that
had begun when a dimensional gate had
opened in Southeast Asia. The gate was closed
years later, but a new one started to open after
the eruption of Mt St. Helens in 1980--and a
prototype armored train had gone into the gate
and never returned.
In short, there's plenty of precedent for
Department 7, especially as a division of
ARMOR. It's entirely possible that ARMOR may
co-opt Ghostbuster equipment and develop their
own team to deal with the supernatural.
Theme
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? is all
about good guys vs. bad guys, only the bad
guys tend to be dead, be from another
dimension, or both. They don't have to only be
ghosts Ghostbusters deal with "something
strange in your neighborhood," and the strict
definition of a ghost doesn't always apply.
That's okay, Ghostbusters will fire their proton
packs at anything that moves.
Ghostbusters is cinematic. Coincidences
happen at just the right time. People who the
Ghostbusters desperately need to see (or not
see) show up at the last minute. And everything
is wrapped up in a few hours. A session of
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? should
never be boring.
Ghostbusters is humorous. Ghostbusters
get frightened, they get beaten up, and they run
away screaming for their mommies like anybody
else when confronted with an Evil Man Was Not
Meant to Understand or Even Politely Converse
With. But one shot of tequila later and they're
back in action, completely unaffected by their
near-undeath experience.
That's the beauty of Ghostbusters. It's
supposed to be scary, it's supposed to be
horrifying, but the Ghostbusters are too stupid to
really be affected by it.
And yet, despite the fact that ghostbusting
involves a bunch of guys playing with proton
beams, ghostbusting isn't only about blowing
stuff up. In fact, most ghosts have a history that
needs solving. In this respect, Ghostbusters
resembles a Scooby Doo mystery, only the bad
guy never pulls his mask off at the end because
it's his real face.
Through it all, the Ghostbusters are
decidedly real people. For every
parapsychologist spouting techno-babble,
there's a Ghostbuster just trying to stop a ghost

from destroying a city block. Ghostbusters get
drunk, get horny, and get arrested they're
unlikely heroes, but they're the only ones who
have the strength of their convictions to strap on
a goofy outfit, drive around in a ridiculous-
looking vehicle, and zap ghosts with ray guns.
Background
Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman, and Ray
Stantz investigated a haunting at the New York
Public Library; though they had little success in
dealing with the problem, Egon managed to get
readings that confirm the ionization properties of
ectoplasmic entities he discovered that it was
possible to capture a ghost, and contain it
indefinitely. Their triumph was short lived as they
returned to discover that the Board of Regents
terminated their grant. Dean Yaeger threw them
off campus with great glee.
Venkman decided that it was fate -- they
must go into business for themselves. He
conned Ray into getting three mortgages on his
parents' house to start up the world's first
paranormal investigation and elimination
agency: Ghostbusters.
The new company purchased an abandoned
firehouse to be their headquarters in a run-down
neighborhood. Using their new discoveries, Ray
and Egon created the proton packs and the first
Containment Unit. A plucky Brooklyn girl, Janine
Melnitz, was hired as their secretary and
immediately set her sights on Egon. Ray
purchased a 1959 Miller Meteor Cadillac
Hearse/Ambulance, which was modified to
become their vehicle, the ECTO-1.
The Ghostbusters' first client was cellist Dana
Barrett, who encountered a terror dog in her
refrigerator shouting the word "Zuul" at her.
Venkman went to her apartment and checked it,
but there was no sign of the creature.
The Ghostbusters' first case involved a call to
the Sedgewick Hotel, where they successfully
busted a gluttonous, green, potato-shaped Class
Five Full Roaming Vapor. After this, there was a
virtual explosion of paranormal activity in the
New York area, so much that the team
advertised for a fourth member: vet Winston
Zeddemore was hired for the job. The
Ghostbusters also drew the attention of the
government, particularly an EPA hatchet man
named Walter Peck.
Dana and her neighbor, CPA Louis Tully,
were eventually possessed by Zuul ("The
Gatekeeper") and Vinz Clortho ("The
Keymaster") respectively. When Peck opened
8 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
the Ghostbuster's containment unit, they drew
on the psychic turbulence to release their
master, Gozer the Gozarian, a powerful
Sumarian deity. Gozer adopted the form of the
Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and began
destroying downtown New York before a risky
plan by the Ghostbusters thwarted him, sending
his intelligence back to his home dimension,
along with Zuul and Vinz Clortho.
Five years after her victimization by Gozer,
the supernatural again set its sights on Dana
Barrett--and her son Oscar. She consulted with
Egon Spengler, who brought Ray Stantz into the
case. Venkman found out and also intervened.
The three former Ghostbusters found a river of
pink slime flowing through the lines of the old
New York Pneumatic Railway--and big trouble
with the law.
Louis Tully was hired to defend them in the
court of Judge Steven Wexler, but it was the
appearance of the Scoleri brothers that forced
Wexler to rescind the Ghostbusting injunction
and dismiss the case.
The Ghostbusters returned to business, with
a new symbol and a new vehicle, the ECTO-1A.
Winston and Janine also returned to the
company, and Louis was hired as legal
consultant. Egon and Ray experimented on the
slime, discovering that it was responsive to
human emotion---and that its power was
building, fed by all of the patented New York
hostility it's soaking up.
Late in the day, some of the pink slime
emerged from Dana Barrett's bathtub and
attempted to abduct Oscar. Dana fled the
apartment with Oscar, and went to Venkman.
Egon and Ray tracked the river of slime to
the emerging essence of medieval madman
Vigo Von Homborg Deutschendorf, alias Vigo
the Carpathian, living in a self-portrait at the
Manhattan Museum of Art. Oscar was
kidnapped in full sight of Dana, Janine, and
Louis by a ghostly clone of Janosz Poha. Poha,
by the way, was deeply under Vigo's domination.
Jack Hardemeyer, a mayoral aide, had the
Ghostbusters committed to Parkview.
A cloud of black energy foretold Vigo's return.
The Ghostbusters were freed, and using Vigo's
own weapon--the psychomagnetheric slime--
against him, animated the Statue of Liberty and
broke the shell around the museum just before
midnight.
The Ghostbusters foiled Vigo's attempt to
possess Oscar. He then tried a desperate ploy

Timeline
8000 BC: The Undying One, master of
the African nation of Tangalla, is
challenged by the wizard one day
known as "The Collector". The Collector
fails, and is banished to the land of lost
objects. The Undying One holds the twin
keys to the realm until his own defeat,
where they become heirlooms kept by
the descendants of Shima-Buku
(Brooklyn Triangle, Moaning Stones).
7000 BC: Hob Anagarak, the demonic
creature holding sway over the Arctic, is
imprisoned in a block of black ice. It is
said in Inuit legend that after this, the
land grew cold (Cold Cash and Hot
Water).
3500 BC: The Sumerian civilization
forms in Mesopotamia. The Sumerians
invent writing (cuneiform) and the
pantheon worshipped by the Sumerians
and their successors, the Babylonians
and Hittites, include many colorful
figures such as Marduk, god of the city;
his nemesis, the great dragon Tiamat;
Gozer the Gozarian, and it's minions
Zuul and Vinscortho; and the elemental
spirits Anshar and Khishor (I am the
City, Very Beast Friend).
3000 BC: Shima-Buku, cheiftain of the
Ibandi people of Tangalla, defeats the
Undying One and imprisons him in three
stones that were scattered throughout
the borders of Tangalla (Moaning
Stones).
1600 BC: An Egyptian chronicle
mentions a powerful Hyksos diety
known as "Zuul, the Gatekeeper, minion
of Gozer" (Ghostbusters).
1 AD: The Council of Eight, self-
proclaimed "Guardians of the Universe",
select a thirty-five year old Alexandrian
scribe named Tobin to replace Carthio
as the "Chronicler of the Spirits". Tobin
is reputedly the writer of the famous
occult compendium, Tobin's Spirit Guide
(Real Ghostbusters 3-D Special).
738: Death of Arab madman Abdul Al-
Hazred (more accurately rendered as
"Abd Al-Azrad"), writer of a collection of
dark spells and lore related to
"Khadhulu" and the "Great Old Ones"
known as the Kitab Al-Azif. When
translated by Western scholars into
Greek and Latin, centuries later, it would
become known as the Necronomicon,
the source work that 20th century horror
10 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
writer HP Lovecraft would use to create
his Cthulhu mythos (Collect Call of
Cthulhu).
900: The monks of the monastery of St.
Theophilus bind four spirits that appear
to be the Dark Riders, the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse from
Christian prophesy. They are contained
in the Codex of St. Theophilus, sealed
with mystic wax. Peak of the Viking
civilization birthed in the Scandinavian
peninsula. Their pantheon of warlike
gods includes Odin, Thor, Loki, Surt,
and many more colorful beings;
according to their myth, the world will
one day be destroyed in the great battle
of Ragnarok ("ApocalypseWhat,
NOW?!", Ragnarok and Roll, Slimer's
Sacrifice).
1400: A Renaissance painter--possibly
Piero della Francesca or Raphael--
paints an image of four angels and a
cherub. The figures bear distinct
resemblances to five people who would
not be born for some five hundred
years: Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz,
Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore,
and Dana Barrett's son Oscar.
Speculation following this revelation in
1989 would include that the painter had
a psychic premonition (Ghostbusters 2).
1505, June 25: Birth of Vigo Von
Homborg Deutschendorf, who later
terrorizes Eastern Europe as a despot
and necromancer known most famously
as Vigo the Carpathian, but also as Vigo
the Cruel, Vigo the Despised, Vigo the
Torturer, Vigo the Unholy, the Scourge
of Carpathia, and the Sorrow of
Moldavia (Ghostbusters 2).
1598: Vigo the Carpathian paints his
dynamic self-portrait. Following a
common practice of the time, he paints it
over another, older work depicting four
strange archangels and a cherub.
Unbeknownst to the world until 1988,
Vigo ensorcelled the painting to contain
his essence after his death
(Ghostbusters 2).
1610 AD: Vigo the Carpathian is killed
by his subjects, having lived 105 years.
He is shot, hung, stabbed, and drawn
and quartered. Before finally expiring,
his severed head delivering the
prophesy "Death is but a Doorway, Time
is But a Window; I'll be back"
(Ghostbusters 2).
1684: Bandits raid the monastery of St.
Theophilus; among the items stolen is
 the Codex of St. Theophilus, in which
the Dark Riders are mystically
contained. The order would attempt to
find the Codex, but fail until it resurfaces
at a Northby's auction in 1985
("ApocalypseWhat, NOW?!").
1689: Phineus Eventide is born. He
would grow up to become one of the
most powerful wizards in the world, and
due to his magic is still quite alive as
late as 1989, and is regarded as the
Prince of Warlocks (Real Ghostbusters
Comic #12). Elias Spengler saves the
colony town of Lewistown.
Massachussets from the witch Kestrel,
imprisoning her in a crystal containment
unit. Elias's descendants will include
Zediciah, 18th century wizard, and 20th
century Ghostbuster Egon Spengler (If I
Were a Witch Man).
1690: Hieronymous, English court
wizard, is drawn into the Netherworld of
Arzun and Tolay (Egon's Ghost).
1818: Captain John Cleves Symmes
becomes an early advocate of the
"Hollow Earth Theory". It wouldn't be
until 1989 that the Ghostbusters would
prove it by visiting the inner-Earth realm
of Ceratel (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#15).
1840: A witch spirit tries to invade the
body of Ginevra Jacobs, intent on
murdering Ginevra's son Aaron to seal
the possession. Two time travelers from
the year 1990--Ghostbusters Egon
Spengler and Janine Melnitz, the latter a
cousin of one of Ginevra's descendants-
-prevent the possession. Only the two
time travelers know that this creates an
alternate timeline, as originally Aaron
Jacobs did die and Ginevra's body was
possessed until 1990. Aaron Jacobs
would grow up to become the first
disabled Congressman from New York
(Real Ghostbusters Comic #28)
1870: The New York Pneumatic Rail
Road (NYPRR) is first built, the
brainchild of Alfred Beach. As
envisioned by Beach, it serves as a
system of mass transit in Manhattan
despite early opposition of corrupt
politico Boss Tweed and others. It is
later phased out in favor of the famous
subway system; some parts of the
pneumatic are abandoned; one juncture,
Van Horne Station, becomes an
important early part of the return of Vigo
the Carpathian in 1988 (Ghostbusters
2).
1889: The Eiffel Tower is debuted at the
World's Fair in Paris. Unknown to the
world at large, it's creator, Gustav Eiffel,
was a ghost hunter and the tower his
containment system (Ghostbusters in
Paris).
1890: Birth of Howard Phillips Lovecraft,
who in the early 20th century would
write many horror novels in what will be
referred to by some as the "Cthulu
Mythos" before his death in 1937.
Unbeknownst to the world at large,
Lovecraft did not create the Cthulhu
mythos: he drew it from the ancient
mystic text known as the Necronomicon.
Ray Stantz would be a voracious reader
of Lovecraft's works, which inspired his
own studies of the supernatural (Collect
Call of Cthulhu). The luxury liner Lady
Anne goes under on August 12, in Lake
Michigan. Over 200 people die in the
disaster (Real Ghostbusters Comic #27)
1897: Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is
released. Count Vostok of Buldavia
claims that the book is a fictionalized
and slanted account of his battles with
the fanatical Van Helden family
(Transylvania Homesick Blues).
1904: Birth of Mr. Tummell, who would
become a billionaire industrialist listed at
the top of the Fortune 500. In his later
years, he would invest much of his
fortune in dimensional transit research,
hoping to take his fortune with him after
his death (You Can't Take it With You).
1910: Ivo Shandor, an Albanian medical
student, forms a cult dedicated to the
worship of Gozer the Gozarian, an
ancient Sumerian deity also known as
The Destructor and The Traveler.
Shandor believed that society was too
sick to survive, and performed many
"unnecessary" surgeries, experimenting
with the pacification of humans. He also
branched out into architecture, creating
the design for 550 Central Park West,
the 1983 residence of Dana Barrett and
Louis Tully. His cult had over one
thousand members at the time of his
death (Ghostbusters).
1920: Gangsterism flourishes among
the Prohibition. The most notorious
crime boss is, of course, Al Capone,
who runs the Chicago underworld with
an iron fist (The Ghostbusters Live from
Al Capone's Tomb!). Caesar Caldoni
runs the New York underworld from the
Majestic Hotel. Caldoni's main rival is
one Webby "The Tractor" McBain--until,
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 11
 in 1928, Caldoni has McBain "rubbed
out" and sealed in the "vault" opened by
Julio Ramanajan in 1989 (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #4).
1928: Walt Fleishman releases the first
cartoon starring Ricky Roach, leading to
a dynasty of animated characters like
Conquerer Duck and Winchester Wolf.
1939: The World's Fair is held in New
York. The Toad Island amusement park,
founded by descendants of Deep
One/human hybrids, is at the peak of it's
attendance (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#8).
1940: Career of the Crime Patrol.
Composed of the Crimson Crimebuster,
the Lunar Avenger (Robert Weinberg),
Doc Hazzard (Will Murray Hazzard, a
scientific genius and minor telepath),
and the Dark Dwarf. Their archnemesis
is a sinister sorcerer named Fu Fang.
Hazzard is also a friend to the
grandfather of future Ghostbuster Egon
Spengler (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#7). Airplanes on polar exploration
missions begin to disappear into the
geomagnetic disturbance leading the
inner Earth realm of Ceratel. Over the
next forty-plus years, four of those pilots
find each other, learn the dinosaur
languages, and discover ways of
fermenting fuel from fruit trees. These
humans become known by the citizens
of Ceratel as the "Legion of the Lost"
(Real Ghostbusters Comic #20, 22).
1944: Walt Fleishman disappears. It
wouldn't be learned until years later that
he was sucked into a pocket realm ruled
by his evil creation Winchester Wolf,
and tortured for the next forty years
(Who're You Calling Two-
Dimensional?). Evil wizard Rowen
Schow disappears. He had discovered a
spell that, over time, would allow human
imagination and suspension of disbelief
to give life to unreal images. That same
year, Schow resurfaces as a character
in a horror movie, The Deathless Image,
at the Rialto theatre in New York. The
movie plays constantly at the theatre for
nearly a half-century, and Schow and
his monsters slowly grow more powerful
(Real Ghostbusters Comic #23).
1948: Criminals Tony and Nunzio
Scoleri are electrocuted. They were
sentenced to death by a young judge
named Steven Wexler in one of the first
cases of his forty-plus year career. They
would be summoned back to try and

take revenge on Wexler by the slime of
Vigo the Carpathian in 1988
(Ghostbusters 2).
1949, December: The Crime Patrol
disbands after their final battle with Fu
Fang. The Lunar Avenger, Robert
Weinberg, would marry and have at
least two sons, Alan and Matthew.
Hazzard would retire to research work,
and annually check the stasis capsule
containing Fu Fang until the sorcerer's
escape in late 1985 (Real Ghostbusters
#7).
1954: A group of human-appearing
aliens, escaping the tyranny of insectoid
creatures, hides on Earth in the small
Florida town of Beachhead. The aliens
live peacefully with the human
inhabitants (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#18).
1959: The firemen of the Hook and
Ladder #8 repel a ghost invasion. They
are aided by a team of time travelers
from 1989, ironically enough the future
inhabitants of their firehouse, the
Ghostbusters (It's About Time).
1960: As part of the "Silver Age" of
comics, young comic writer Len
Wolfman created the superhero Captain
Steel, an inspired knock-off of
Superman. Disguising himself as mild
mannered CPA Kirk Clint, he fights a
never-ending battle against such villains
as deranged scientist Doctor Destructo
(Captain Steel Saves the Day).
1964: Ray Stantz, during a visit to Toad
Island with his father, gets separated
from him and encounters a mermaid.
The mermaid entertains him with stories
until David finds him (Real Ghostbusters
Comic #19). A dimensional gateway
appears in Southeast Asia, and
supernatural creatures begin to pour out
of it, perhaps attracted by the death
forces released by the Vietnam conflict.
Over the next four years, US military
forces battle the paranormal in a secret
conflict dubbed "The Unearth War". An
officer named George Armstrong Badge
rises to prominence and the rank of
General during this conflict (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #25).
1968:The Unearth War is ended when
the United States activates atomic
bombs on the other side of the
dimensional gate. The gate is destroyed
and the conflict ends. Knowledge of the
Unearth War is hidden in the most top-
 secret of files (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#25).
1975: A young witch makes a deal with
the demon Astorath. Astorath
impregnates her in hopes that the
demon half-breed will allow him access
to Earth (Real Ghostbusters Comic #9).
1976: Birth of Shannon Phillips. His
mother is part of a coven dedicated to
the demon Astorath, led by the
necromantic sorcerer Nathaniel Blaque,
who poses as Shannon's tutor (Real
Ghostubsters Comic #9).
1980: Mount St. Helens erupts.
Afterwards, a small dimensional gate
similar to the one found in Southeast
Asia in the Sixties opens. General
Badge, the hero of the Unearth War,
spearheads the creation of the
Advanced Radical Military Occult
Railroad (ARMOR) charged with
studying the phenomenon and
preventing a second Unearth War (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #25).
1983: Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman,
and Ray Stantz investigate a haunting at
the New York Public Library; though
they have little success in dealing with
the problem, Egon manages to get
reading that confirm the ionization
properties of ectoplasmic entities--it
could be possible to capture a ghost,
and contain it indefinitely. Their triumph
appears short lived as they return to
discover that the Board of Regents has
terminated their grant and Dean Yaeger
is throwing them off campus. Venkman
cons Ray into getting three mortgages
on his parents' house to start up the
world's first paranormal investigation
and elimination agency: Ghostbusters.
The team advertises for a fourth
member: vet Winston Zeddemore is
hired for the job. The Ghostbusters also
draw the attention of the government,
particularly an EPA hatchet man named
Walter Peck. Dana Barrett, a cellist, and
her neighbor, CPA Louis Tully, are
possessed by Zuul ("The Gatekeeper")
and Vinz Clortho ("The Keymaster")
respectively, and when Peck opens the
Ghostbuster's containment unit, they
draw on the psychic turbulence to
release their master, Gozer the
Gozarian, a powerful Sumerian diety.
Gozer adopts the form of the Stay-Puft
Marshmallow Man and begins
destroying midtown Manhattan before a
risky plan by the Ghostbusters thwarts
him, sending his intelligence back to his
home dimension, along with Zuul and
Vinz Clortho (Ghostbusters). Despite
saving the city, possibly the world,
lawsuits are filed against the team for
their activities in leveling Central Park
West (Ghostbusters 2). The
Ghostbusters rebuild the firehouse, and
build a bigger containment unit. A
leakage from the containment unit
allows Slimer to escape, who starts
hanging around the firehouse (Citizen
Ghost).
1984: Digging a new subway tunnel, the
transit authority disobeys the door telling
them "do not open until doomsday". The
Ghostbusters close the gateway (Knock,
Knock). Hollywood wants to make a
movie out of the Ghostbusters'
adventure with Gozer. Venkman is
convinced Robert Redford wants to play
him, but the parts go to Bill Murray, Dan
Akyroyd, and Harold Ramis (Take Two).
Egon and Janine run afoul of Ray
Cougar, running an unauthorized
Ghostbuster-themed roller coaster at his
tacky carnival. The coaster ends up
possessed by the combined spectral
force of animals from a circus that
burned down in the spot years before
(Roller Ghoster). A rogue sandman,
keeper of dreams, tries to bring peace to
the world by putting everyone to sleep
(Mr. Sandman Dream Me A Dream).
Spengler's ecto-bomb traps the
Boogeyman in his home dimension (The
Boogeyman Cometh).
1984, June 8: Ghostbusters, featuring
Bill Murray, Dan Akyroyd, and Harold
Ramis as Venkman, Ray, and Egon, is
released by Columbia Pictures. The real
Ghostbusters attend the New York
debut of the picture. A fictionalized
account of the team's formation and
battle with Gozer, it becomes one of the
top-grossing comedies of all time.
1984, October 31: Samhaine, the
ancient Celtic deity whose legend is at
the heart of the Halloween celebration,
attempts to invoke perpetual Halloween.
He is defeated and locked in the
Ghostbusters' containment unit (When
Halloween Was Forever).
1985: The Ghostbusters deal with a
drought in supernatural activity by
becoming the Crimebusters, running
afoul of a mob boss known only as
"Crime Lord", who kidnaps Janine in an
effort to neutralize the team (Ghost
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 13
 Busted), Asked to visit by the French
government, the team prevents the
Eiffel Tower from exploding
(Ghostbusters In Paris). Cultists steal a
copy of the Necronomicon and summon
Cthulhu. A risky gambit using an old
H.P. Lovecraft story sends the monster
back to his ocean floor dwelling (Collect
Call of Cthulhu). An exhibit showcases
the three Moaning Stones of Tangalla,
supposedly the prison of a demon called
"The Undying One", bound by the great
Ibandi leader Shima-Buku thousands of
years ago. The museum imprudently
puts the three stones together, and sure
enough the Undying One returns with an
army of skeleton warriors. Winston, the
reincarnation of Shima-Buku, re-binds
the demon (Moaning Stones). The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse are
accidentally released from the Codex of
St. Theophilus. With the help of Father
Janosz and the order of St. Theophilus,
the Ghostbusters defeat the Dark Riders
and seal them away again
("Apocalypse--What, NOW?"). The
Ghostbusters are on hand for the latest
round in the battle between Marduk,
Babylonian God of the City, and his
eternal nemesis Tiamat (I Am The City).
The Ghostbusters go underground and
discover the "Pillar of New York", a giant
gear that keeps Manhattan from sinking.
A bunch of ghosts cause earthquakes in
New York by closing off the flow of
lubricating ectoplasm. The Ghostbusters
stop them (Beneath these Streets).
Egon survives a fall off the World Trade
Center during a bust, but contains his
emotion; problem is, the Boogeyman is
able to feed on the internalized fear of
this former victim of his, and breaks free
from his pocket dimension. Egon
triumph over his fear, and using the
destablizer gun renders the Boogeyman
vulnerable to the Ghostbusters' proton
packs, and he's placed in the
containment unit (The Boogeyman is
Back).
1985, Halloween: Samhaine escapes
the containment unit, once again trying
to instigate eternal Halloween. Once
again, he is foiled and contained
(Halloween II1/2).
1986: Paul Smart, President of
Grossjuck Industries, sneaks into the
firehouse, steals a ghost trap, and
copies confidential Ghostbuster files,
only to disappear. Weeks later he
14 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
resurfaces, announcing his "New
advance in spectral elimination": Robo-
Buster X-1, a robot that blasts ghosts to
nothing instead of containing them. Over
the next few weeks the thing steals their
business. But Robo-Buster X-1 doesn't
actually destroy ghosts, it blends them
together into a massive spectral entity.
The entity is eventually defeated,
destroying Robo-Buster and ruining
Grossjuck Industries and Paul Smart
(Robo-Buster). In the wake of the
disastrous events of the last few
months, several protracted lawsuits
against the Ghostbusters (some dating
back to the Gozer incident of 1983) are
brought to court. Rather than go to trial,
the team is forced to accept a plea
agreement wherein they accept an
injunction against acting as paranormal
investigator. Having had to give up their
lives as Ghostbusters, the team finds
new ways to get by. Egon Spengler
returns to research, specializing in new
theories on psychomagnetheric
resonance in human emotional states.
Peter Venkman becomes host of a
cheesy, low budget TV program called
World of the Psychic. Ray Stantz keeps
busy as the proprietor of an occult
bookstore, and appearing with Winston
Zeddemore in Ghostbuster costume at
children's parties (Ghostbusters 2).
1988: Five years after her victimization
by Gozer, the supernatural has again
set its sights on Dana Barrett--and her
son Oscar. She consults with Egon
Spengler, who brings Ray Stantz and
Venkman into the case. The three
former Ghostbusters find a river of pink
slime flowing through the lines of the old
New York Pneumatic Railway--and big
trouble with the law. Louis Tully is hired
to defend them in the court of Judge
Steven Wexler, but it is the appearance
of the Scoleri brothers that forces
Wexler to rescind the Ghostbusting
injunction and dismiss the case. The
Ghostbusters return to business, with a
new symbol and a new vehicle, the
ECTO-1A. Winston and Janine also
return to the company, and Louis is
hired as legal consultant. Egon and Ray
experiment on the slime, discovering
that it is responsive to human emotion---
and that it's power is building, fed by all
of the patented New York hostility it's
soaking up (Ghostbusters 2).
 1988, December 29: Some of the pink
slime emerges from Dana Barrett's
bathtub and attempts to abduct Oscar.
Dana flees the apartment with Oscar,
and goes to Venkman (Ghostbusters 2).
1988, December 30: Egon and Ray
have tracked the river of slime to the
emerging essence of medieval madman
Vigo Von Homborg Deutschendorf, alias
Vigo the Carpathian, living in a self-
portrait at the Manhattan Museum of Art.
Oscar is kidnapped in full sight of Dana,
Janine, and Louis by a ghostly clone of
Janosz Poha. Poha is deeply under
Vigo's domination. Jack Hardemeyer, a
mayoral aide, has the Ghostbusters
committed to Parkview (Ghostbusters
2).
1988, December 31: A cloud of black
energy foretells Vigo's return. The
Ghostbusters are freed, and using
Vigo's own weapon--the
psychomagnetheric slime--against him,
animate the Statue of Liberty and break
the shell around the museum just before
midnight (Ghostbusters 2).
1989, January 1: The Ghostbusters foil
Vigo's attempt to possess Oscar. He
then tries a desperate ploy, dominating
Ray, but fails. The madman is defeated
and destroyed (Ghostbusters 2). The
Ghostbusters defeat Astorath, a major
demon, with the help of the wizard
Morehemoodus, ultimately destroying
him on his home turf. (The Real
Ghostbusters Comic #9-11). The
Ghostbusters film a commercial for
SuperCard; their fee pays half of the
debt to SuperCard, leaving them a debt
of $250,000. A red lizard man named
Spikorouleusdennum (Spike for short),
Male Heir of Ceratel, enlists the
Ghostbusters to defeat an evil
tyrannosaurus with psychic powers
named Nurtog who lives in the center of
the earth. It turns out that Nurtog is
actually a psychic manifestation and that
his withered body beneath Skull
Mountain (Real Ghostbusters Comic
#15-16).
1989, October 31: The Ghostbusters
find New York, as twice before, utterly
transformed and enshrouded in
darkness by Samhaine. With the
assistance of Phineus Eventide, Prince
of Warlocks, the Ghostbusters rally
mystics at the four main ley line nexi
(Stonehenge, the Brocken, Blockberg,
the forest of Ardennes) to counter
Samhaine's spells. Samhaine is
imprisoned in the containment unit (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #17). During the
disruption of the containment unit, the
Boogeyman escapes also; still weak
from the destabilizer gun, he hides and
bides his time (Real Ghostbusters
Comic #26).
1990: Nurtog, the Sleeping Tyrant,
returns to Ceratel. With the help of the
Crime Patrol and a modified ECTO-4
that can teleport, the Ghostbusters
arrive right in the middle of a pitched
battle between Nurtog's minions and a
squadron of old Terran planes flown by
four humans known as the "Legion of
the Lost." Unfortunately, Nurtog's
science goon Bataar turns the
teleportation technology against the
Ghostbusters and teleports Nurtog and
his minions to New York City (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #20). Using the
remains of the warp drive and the
Legion's planes, the Ghostbusters
pursue Nurtog, ultimately reversing the
teleportation and cutting off Nurtog's
power, killing him for good (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #22). The
Ghostbusters go to Russia, to stop
Vladimir Maximov and Demitri
Melyakov's cult from freeing one of the
Great Old Ones using another copy of
the Necronomicon (Russian About).
The Ghostbusters make first contact
with the secret government agency
known as ARMOR (Advanced Radical
Military Occult Railroad) and enter a
dimensional gate to retrieve an armored
train and its five-man crew (Real
Ghostbusters Comic #25). The
Bogeyman tries to get his revenge on
Egon and sucks the Ghostbusters into
his realm, only be ghost-trapped yet
again (Real Ghostbusters Comic #26).
1991: Tobin, chronicler of the Tobin
Spirit Guide, asks for the Ghostbusters
help against "Evil." The Ghostbusters
enter the dreamscape and move quickly
before Tobin ages to death; after a
variety of trials the Council of Eight
shows up and confines "Evil" (Real
Ghostbusters Comic V.2 #1-3). The
Ghostbusters free Professor
Epimetheus from his dimensional
prison, in the same realm from which
the Peoplebusters hail (Real
Ghostbusters Comic Annual).
1991, October 31: Samhaine has
escaped AGAIN, and poses as a kindly

 old man to pass out toys and candy to
kids--that come to life and start attacking
them! The Ghostbusters find Samhaine,
and utilizing an innovative tactic, cause
him to overload and explode.
1992: The Ghostbusters, faced with
plummeting profits from a dearth of
supernatural activity, again cease
business, this time willingly. Janine
Melnitz and Louis Tully are "downsized"
out of their jobs, and Louis's activities
are wholly unknown after this point. Ray
Stantz does research at Stanford until
an undefined "accident" puts him so
down on his luck he's become a used
car salesman in Colorado. Winston
Zeddemore trains as a pilot, and flies a
commuter line in Montana. Peter
Venkman goes to Hollywood, becomes
a successful agent, and by 1997 is
trying to shop around a concept for
Ghostbusters 3. Egon Spengler elects to
remain in New York, living in the
firehouse to keep an eye on the
containment unit, and accepts a posting
as a parapsychology teacher at New
York City College, a community college
1993: While doing research at a New
York City College, former Ghostbuster
Egon Spengler meets Dr. Edward
Carrillion, another paranormal
researcher with "unusual" ideas. In
specific, he believes that three crystal
skulls can be used to enslave
supernatural entities. Eventually, Egon
decides that Carrillion is too unstable
and ends his relationship with him.
1997: Parapsychology 101, being taught
by former Ghostbuster Egon Spengler:
Kylie Griffin, new age enthusiast; Garrett
Miller, paraplegic athlete; Roland
Jackson, electronics whiz; and slacker
Eduardo Rivera. Janine Melnitz
surprises Egon during their first class.
City construction drills into a sealed
chamber and releases an entity;
16 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Spengler's equipment detects the
release, but Mayor McShayne derides
him as a fraud. Egon tries to confront
the entity, but the equipment is too old
and underpowered to be effective, and
he's infected with a strange disease.
Egon identifies the spirit as a Sumerian
disease goddess, Akkyra; he and
Roland subject the proton packs and
ECTO-1 to upgrading, and create a
micronized proton pistol and a radically
different ghost trap design. Roland,
Garrett, Kylie, and Eduardo take up the
mantle of Ghostbusters, and using the
new equipment apprehend Akkyra
easily, clearing up the infection suffered
by Egon and hundred of others
(Darkness at Noon). Egon is reunited
Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and
Winston Zeddemore, the original
Ghostbusters! The new Ghostbusters
work with their legendary predecessors
to stop a massive, power-feeding
"ingestor" (Back In The Saddle).
2037: In one future that is now invalid,
Dr. Roland Jackson, Kylie Griffin, and
Eduardo Rivera have become legends

2).
 A l l e g ia nc e s
"Dr. Venkman, we believe that the purpose of science is to serve mankind. You, however, seem to
regard science as some kind of "dodge" or "hustle." Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your
methods are sloppy and your conclusions are highly questionable. You're a poor scientist, Dr. Venkman,
and you have no place in this department or in this University."
A Ghostbuster may have up to three
allegiances, listed in order from most important
to least important. These allegiances are
indications of what the Ghostbuster values in
life, and may encompass people, organizations,
or ideals. A Ghostbuster may have no
allegiances (being either a free spirit or a lone
wolf) or may change allegiances as he or she
goes through life. Also, just because the
Ghostbuster fits into a certain category of people
doesnt mean the Ghostbuster has to have that
category as an allegiance.
If the Ghostbuster acts in a way that is
detrimental to his or her allegiance, the GM may
choose to strip the Ghostbuster of that
allegiance (and all its benefits) and assign an
allegiance more suitable to those actions.
Pledging Allegiance
A Ghostbusters allegiance can take the form
of loyalty to a person, to an organization, to a
belief system, to a nation, or to an ethical or
moral philosophy. In general, a Ghostbuster can
discard an allegiance at any time, but may only
gain a new allegiance after attaining a new level.
Having an allegiance implies having sufficient
intelligence and wisdom to make a moral or
ethical choice. As a result, a character must
have Intelligence and Wisdom scores of 3 or
higher in order to select allegiances.
Allegiances include, but are not limited to, the
following examples.
Person or Group: This includes a leader or
superior, a family, a group of linked
Ghostbusters (such as a band of
adventurers or a cell of secret agents), or a
discrete unit within a larger organization
(such as members of the Ghostbusters
team, or Ghostbusters whose safety the
Ghostbuster is responsible for).
Organization: This may be a company or
corporation, a gathering of like-minded
- Dean Yeager, Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters, a fraternal brotherhood, a
secret society, a branch of the armed forces,
a local, state, or national government, a
university, an employer, or an otherwise
established authority.
Nation: This may or may not be the nation
that the Ghostbuster currently resides in. It
may be where the Ghostbuster was born, or
where the Ghostbuster resides after
emigrating to a new home.
Belief System: This is usually a particular
faith or religion, but can also be a specific
philosophy or school of thought. Belief
systems could also include political beliefs
or philosophical outlooks.
Ethical Philosophy: This describes how
one feels about order, as represented by law
and chaos. A Ghostbuster with a lawful
outlook tends to tell the truth, keep his or her
word, respect authority, and honor tradition,
and he or she expects others to do likewise.
A Ghostbuster with a chaotic outlook tends
to follow his or her instincts and whims,
favor new ideas and experiences, and
behave in a subjective and open manner in
dealings with others.
Moral Philosophy: This describes ones
attitude toward others, as represented by
good and evil. A Ghostbuster with a good
allegiance tends to protect innocent life. This
belief implies altruism, respect for life, and a
concern for the dignity of other creatures. An
evil allegiance shows a willingness to hurt,
oppress, and kill others, and to debase or
destroy innocent life.
New allegiances
Ghostbusters have allegiances like
everybody else. They're not as high-minded as
some people might expect (or as lowbrow as
everyone figured). Any of these allegiances can
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 17
also be used as role-playing opportunities to
receive action points at the discretion of the GM.
Sex
Ghostbusters with this allegiance want to get
it on. All the time. See the Skills chapter for
more information about how a Ghostbuster can
get laid. For each satisfying date (the word
"satisfying" left to the discretion of the GM), the
Ghostbuster receives 1 action point. If the
Ghostbuster fumbles a roll during the date (be it
Bluff or Diplomacy), he loses 1 action point
instead. The Ghostbuster only receives an
action point for successfully dating one person
the first time. Thereafter, the Ghostbuster
doesn't receive any more action points unless he
dates a new person or stops dating someone for
six months or longer. This game mechanic
ensures a Ghostbuster whose allegiance is sex
plays the field as often as possible.
Wealth
Okay, so most Americans probably have this
allegiance. Still, the Ghostbuster who has
wealth as an allegiance is greedier than your
average working schmoe. This is a cruel irony,
because Ghostbusters make very little money
anyway. Every time the Ghostbuster rolls a
natural 20 on a Wealth check, he receives an
action point. Whenever he rolls a natural 1 on a
Wealth check, he loses 1 action point.
Fame
Ghostbusters with fame as their allegiance
want to get as much publicity as possible.
Famous Ghostbusters will smile for the camera,
do signings at conventions, and best of all, TV
interviews. They embrace paparazzi and
encourage fan clubs. Whenever a Ghostbuster
rolls a natural 20 on his Reputation check, he
gains 1 action point. Whenever he rolls a
natural 1 on his Reputation check, he loses 1
action point.
Soulless Science
Science is all. Parapsychology is something
of an unexplored frontier to someone who takes
it seriously. As a result, the term "soulless
science" is perhaps a misnomer, because much
of parapsychology involves the study of souls
18 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
and the paranormal. Identifying quibbles aside,
a Ghostbuster with an allegiance to soulless
science is part of how Ghostbusters succeed
they see ghosts as a scientific challenge rather
than a horrifying brush with undeath.
Ghostbusters who roll a 20 on a Knowledge
check in behavioral sciences, earth and life
sciences, physical sciences, or technology
receive 1 action point. Rolling a 1 subtracts an
action point.
Humanity
Some Ghostbusters don't bust ghosts for the
money mostly because there's no money to be
made. But other Ghostbusters do it because
they believe they're genuinely doing the Right
Thing. For Ghostbusters with noble goals,
beating ghosts has extra rewards: for each time
the Ghostbuster defeats a villain whose
challenge rating is equal to the Ghostbuster's
level or higher, he receives 1 action point. If the
Ghostbuster is defeated (e.g., runs away,
knocked unconscious, etc.) by a villain of similar
CR or lower, the Ghostbuster loses 1 action
point.
Allegiances and Influence
An allegiance can create an empathic bond
with others of the same allegiance. With the
GMs permission, the character gains a +2
circumstance bonus on Charisma-based skill
checks when dealing with someone of the same
allegianceas long as the character has had
some interaction with the other character to
discover the connections and bring the bonus
into play.
For the Sex allegiance (man, that sounds
weird), Ghostbusters receive the bonus when
dating or attempting to date a member of the
opposite sex. For the Wealth allegiance,
Ghostbusters receive the bonus when dealing
with financial negotiations. For the Fame
allegiance, Ghostbusters receive the bonus
when dealing with members of the media or
fans. For the Souless Science allegiance,
Ghostbusters receive the bonus when dealing
with supernatural beings or other
parapsychologists. The folks who have
Humanity as their allegiance receive the bonus
when dealing with anyone who has been
harmed or threatened by the supernatural.

Treasurer
Similar to the secretary, the more physically
active Ghostbuster professions consider the role
of treasurer to be pretty boring. But they keep it
to themselves, because the treasurer pays their
salaries, bargains with clients, sets fees, and

Vice-President
Vice-presidents are like presidents, only not
as good. There are usually a lot of vice-
presidents, which tends to devalue the position
somewhat. Some franchise owners have
pointed to the fact that since anyone can be
vice-president, and nobody listens to the
president anyway, this is why most ghost
busting expeditions end up degrading into
complete chaos.

"Back off man! I'm a scientist!"
- Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters

Generally, Ghostbusters don't need an
advanced class to qualify. However, it's
possible for some Ghostbusters to be so good at
what they do that it merits an advanced class.
That said, Ghostbusters of this stripe are rare
far too many have part time jobs (talk show
hosts, paranormal paraphernalia shopkeepers,
parapsychology instructors, etc.) that ultimately
qualify them for other basic or advanced
classes.
For those rare few who are extremely
dedicated to ghostbusting, this class is for them.
Elite Ghostbusters bust better, investigate
better, and are insanely fearless in the face of
danger. Since they spend all their time busting
ghosts, they are also dirt poor. And a little weird
(even for a Ghostbuster!).
Requirements
To qualify to become an Elite Ghostbuster, a
character must fulfill the following criteria.
Base Attack Bonus: +3.
Elite Ghostbuster
Skill: Knowledge (arcane lore) 3 ranks.
Feat: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (proton
pack).
Class Information
Hit Die: 1d8
Action Points: 6 + one-half character level,
rounded down, every time the character attains
a new level in this class.
Class Skills
The Elite Ghostbusters class skills (and the

(arcane lore, behavioral sciences, earth and life
sciences, physical sciences, popular culture,
technology) (Int), Listen (Wis), Navigate (Int),
Profession (Wis), Research, Spot (Wis), Survival

Routines
There are a variety of routines that
Ghostbusters might experience in their day-to-
day activities. These are by no means
encounters with the supernatural they are far,
far worse. These are the mundane things, the
things that bring mighty men low finding your
car keys, getting sued, stuff like that. They don't
seem important until it happens to you, and then
boy oh boy is it important. Ghostbusters tend to
be in a rush and also to be sued a lot, so these
routines may come up often (that's why they call
them routines!).
Roll 1d6 for each step. If a skill or ability is
listed, the step requires a check. The DC is

automatically have a difficulty class of 0. Note
that it's still possible to make a check if
exceptional circumstances warrant, such as
attempting to start a car that hasn't been started
in a year.
Where a skill check is required, success and
failure indicates what happens next. In most
cases a success allows the Ghostbuster to
move to the next section. Depending on each
roll, it can take 1 round, 1 minute, 10 minutes, or
an hour, at the Game Master's discretion.
Whatever the choice, all steps should take the
same amount of time.

pass through the gaps in the bars.
The trap lasts for 2 hours before dissipating.
Ghost Trap, High Capacity
This trap can contain up to three medium-
sized, six small, or one large incorporeal being
at a time. The smaller the entities, the more can
be contained in the trap. But the bigger the
ghost, the less spirits can be contained. When
two or more ghosts are trapped together, their
molecules merge and cannot be separated
without releasing both. In all other respects it
works like a normal ghost trap.
Ghost Trap, Standard
Ghost traps are small boxes that store and
transport one subdued ghost. A foot pedal
attached to the box by a twelve-foot length of
tubing opens the lid. Setting a trap is a move
action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
The ghost trap has been described as a
miniature ecto containment unit. It utilizes the
same basic design as its larger counterpart; a
series of lasers designed specifically for the
incarceration of spirits. A ghost trap can only
contain one medium-sized incorporeal being or
two small incorporeal beings.
After the trap is set, it must be sprung, which
is an attack action that does not provoke an
attack of opportunity. As it opens, the ghost trap
produces a luminous white cone (10-foot long,
10-foot at its widest) of psychokinetic force that
sucks the ghost into the trap. The ghost can
resist being sucked into the trap with a
successful Reflex save against a DC of 10 + 1
for every round the ghost spends in the traps'
radius of effect. Note that ghosts who are
grappled by a proton pack do not get a Reflex
save. When the foot pedal is released, the trap
closes.
Do not look into the trap: Anyone looking
directly into the trap must is automatically
dazzled for 1d4 rounds or, if he fails a Reflex
save (DC 15) blinded for 1d10 rounds.
Do not overload the trap: Ghost traps are
extremely small pieces of equipment, and can
only contain a certain amount of PKE, even if it
is from a number of small ghosts. The
overloaded trap explodes if more than one ghost
is captured in the trap, inflicting 3d6 points of fire
damage to all within a 10-foot radius and
releasing the ghosts. Also only a certain number
of ghosts can be contained in a ghost trap.
32 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Do not forget to recharge the trap: This is
extremely important, a ghost trap must be at
100% charge to work at peak efficiency. The
trap also runs on a rechargeable battery that
lasts up to 48 Hours. After 48 hours, a trap must
make a Fortitude save each round (DC 20) or it
explodes, inflicting 3d6 points of fire damage to
all within a 10-foot radius and releasing the
ghost(s) contained within.
Ghost Trap, Super
Super traps are similar to ghost traps except
that they have double the lifespan of ghost traps.
It lasts for one week. After a week, the super
trap must make a Fortitude save each round
(DC 20) or it explodes, inflicting 3d6 points of fire
damage to all within a 10-foot radius and
releasing the ghost(s) contained within.
Ghost Trap, Tripod
Essentially the tripod trap is identical to the
standard ghost trap in operation. The main
difference is the design, which allows for a larger
containment area and also allows for elevated
entrapment. The trap takes up less space then a
standard trap and so can be used in areas of
limited space. The device is still in the test
stages, as it hasn't been used in many busts.
The tripod trap, when activated creates a grid-
like confinement area, but tests have ranged in
success. It reflects and bounces off certain
surfaces and creates a grid-type beam that traps
ghosts in it for a temporary amount of time, long
enough for a Ghostbuster to pull out the real trap
and trap the Ghost.
Tripod traps work just like ghost traps except
they paralyze the ghost rather than actually trap
it. The trap automatically senses any non-
corporeal undead that pass through its 30-ft.
square area. When the tripod is triggered, all
ghosts within its area of effect must make a
Reflex save or be paralyzed for 1d4 rounds.
Ghost Trap, Vehicle
This ghost trap acts as a high capacity trap,
except that it can be mounted on a vehicle. It
emits a 10-foot long cone, 10-feet at its widest,
directly in front of the vehicle.
Proton Bomb
Proton bombs act as area-effect proton
packs. It fires a wide-ranging series of beams in
a 10-foot radius. All beings within its area of
effect must make a Reflex save (DC 15) for half
damage.
Proton Pack, Bio-Electric
This modified proton pack is very similar to
the standard proton pack except that it has one
setting, Containment. It requires a ranged touch
attack. The Containment setting only works
against living humanoids and animals. This is
an attack action that provokes attacks of
opportunity. If the attack is successful, the target
must make an opposed grapple check against
the wielder's attack roll. If more than one proton
pack is used on the Containment setting, each
additional proton beam adds +2 to the roll, and
the target is denied any dexterity modifier to
Defense. The Containment setting is typically
used to position a target over a bio-electric trap.
Proton Pack, Capture Beam
A capture beam pack works like a weaker
version of a proton pack. It inflicts 2d6 points of
electrical damage and ghosts must make a
Reflex save (DC 10) to take half damage.
Proton Pack, Hyper Beam
A hyper beam pack works like a stronger
version of a proton pack. It inflicts 4d6 points of
electrical damage and ghosts must make a
Reflex save (DC 20) to take half damage.
Proton Pack, Standard
The proton pack is an unlicensed nuclear
accelerator backpack that consists of raw
nuclear energy and protons. The proton pack is
mounted onto an Army issue A.L.I.C.E. pack
frame with adjustable shoulder and kidney
straps and belt. The proton pack consists of two
parts: the nuclear accelerator backpack (proton
pack, positron collider, cyclotron) and particle
thrower (proton gun, ion wand, ion cannon,
neutrona wand). Once the Ghostbuster turns the
proton pack on, the Ghostbuster can also switch
on the particle thrower. The accelerator
accelerates the protons from the cyclotron on
the pack into the particle thrower, and the
Ghostbuster gets an extremely powerful but
destructive particle stream that consists of
protons and raw nuclear energy. This stream is
capable of entangling a ghost against its will
There are two basic settings: Attack and
Containment. The Attack function works against
all targets, including living beings (which it can
seriously harm), walls, furniture, non-corporeal
beings and especially undead. Turning a proton
pack on is a move action.
Setting a proton pack to Attack inflicts shoots
a 5-foot-wide, 90-foot-long line of protons that
deals 3d6 points of electrical damage to all
creatures and objects in its path. No attack roll is
necessary, and thus no feat is needed to
operate the weapon effectively. Any creature
caught in the line of electricity can make a
Reflex save (DC 15) to take half damage.
Creatures with cover get a bonus on their Reflex
save.
The proton pack's ammunition has hardness
5 and 5 hit points. When wielded, the proton
pack has a Defense equal to 9 + the wielder's
Dexterity modifier + the wielder's class bonus. A
proton pack reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and
explodes, dealing 6d6 points of fire damage to
the wearer (no save allowed) and 3d6 points of
splash damage to creatures and objects in
adjacent 5-foot squares (Reflex save, DC 15, for
half damage).
A proton pack can shoot 25 times before the
fuel supply is depleted. One charge is used per
round. Refueling a proton pack has a purchase
DC of 13.
Setting a proton pack to Containment
requires a ranged touch attack. The
Containment setting only works against undead
and outsiders. This is an attack action that
provokes attacks of opportunity. If the attack is
successful, the target must make an opposed
grapple check against the wielder's attack roll. If
more than one proton pack is used on the
Containment setting, each additional proton
beam adds +2 to the roll, and the target is
denied any dexterity modifier to Defense. The
Containment setting is typically used to position
a target over a ghost trap.
Do not cross the streams: This process is
extremely dangerous as it causes Total Protonic
Reversal, which results in the molecules of any
nearby person to explode at the speed of light.
Information on this situation is sketchy due to
the rarity of it ever happening, it has only
occurred once where those participating have
survived. Please refer to the case where the
Ghostbusters fought Gozer for more details.
Do not allow the pack to overheat: This in
some ways is similar to Total Protonic Reversal,
however on a more limited scale. It is however
still extremely dangerous and it is rare for a
person in the vicinity to survive a blast caused
by overheating. If a proton pack runs for 25

pack must make a Fortitude save or overheat in

of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activities and return forthwith to your place of

Ethereal Plane
The Ethereal Plane is coexistent with the
Material Plane and often other planes as well.
The Material Plane itself is visible from the
Ethereal Plane, but it appears muted and
indistinct, its colors blurring into each other and
its edges turning fuzzy.
While it is possible to see into the Material
Plane from the Ethereal Plane, the Ethereal
Plane is usually invisible to those on the Material
Plane. Normally, creatures on the Ethereal
Plane cannot attack creatures on the Material
Plane, and vice versa. A traveler on the Ethereal
Plane is invisible, incorporeal, and utterly silent
to someone on the Material Plane.
The Ethereal Plane is mostly empty of
structures and impediments. However, the plane
has its own inhabitants. Some of these are other
ethereal travelers, but the ghosts found here
pose a particular peril to those who walk the fog.
It has the following traits.
No gravity. Individuals on a plane with this
trait merely float in space, unless other
resources are available to provide a direction for
gravitys pull.
Alterable morphic. The plane contains little
to alter, however. Objects remain where they are
(and what they are) unless affected by physical
force or magic. You can change the immediate
environment as a result of tangible effort.
Normal magic. Spells function normally on
the Ethereal Plane, though they do not cross
into the Material Plane.
The only exceptions are spells and spell-like
abilities that have the force descriptor and
abjuration spells that affect ethereal beings.
Spellcasters on the Material Plane must have
some way to detect foes on the Ethereal Plane
before targeting them with force-based spells, of
course. While its possible to hit ethereal
enemies with a force spell cast on the Material
-- Ray Stantz, Ghostbusters
Plane, the reverse isnt possible. No magical
attacks cross from the Ethereal Plane to the
Material Plane, including force attacks.
The Boogieman's Realm
The Boogieman's Realm is an in-between
place he uses to access children's' closets all
over the world. Through use of the doors, he can
leap from closet to closet. It has the following
traits.
Subjective Directional Gravity. The
strength of gravity is the same as on the Material
Plane, but each individual chooses the direction
of gravitys pull. Such a plane has no gravity for
unattended objects and nonsentient creatures.
This sort of environment can be very disorienting
to the newcomer, but is common on weightless
planes. Characters can move normally along a
solid surface by imagining down near their feet.
If suspended in midair, a character flies by
merely choosing a down direction and falling
that way. Under such a procedure, an individual
falls 150 feet in the first round and 300 feet in
each succeeding round. Movement is straight-
line only. In order to stop, one has to slow ones
movement by changing the designated down
direction (again, moving 150 feet in the new
direction in the first round and 300 feet per
round thereafter). It takes a DC 16 Wisdom
check to set a new direction of gravity as a free
action; this check can be made once per round.
Any character that fails this Wisdom check in
successive rounds receives a +6 bonus on
subsequent checks until he or she succeeds.
Infinite: Planes with this trait go on forever,
though they may have finite components within
them. Or they may consist of ongoing expanses
in two directions, like a map that stretches out
infinitely.
Divinely Morphic: Only the Boogieman has
the ability to alter objects, creatures, and the
landscape on planes with this trait. Ordinary
characters find these planes similar to alterable
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 39
planes in that they may be affected by spells
and physical effort. But the Boogieman may
cause these areas to change instantly and
dramatically.
Wild Magic: Spells and spell-like abilities
function in radically different and sometimes
dangerous ways. Any spell or spell-like ability
used in the Boogieman's Realm has a chance to
go awry. The caster must make a level check
(DC 15 + the level of the spell or effect) for the
magic to function normally. For spell-like
abilities, use the level or HD of the creature
employing the ability for the caster level check
and the level of the spell-like ability to set the DC
for the caster level check. Failure on this check
means that something strange happens; roll d%
and consult the following table.
d% Effect
Spell rebounds on caster with normal effect. If the
0119
spell cannot affect the caster, it simply fails.
A circular pit 15 feet wide opens under the
2023 casters feet; it is 10 feet deep per level of the
caster.
The spell fails, but the target or targets of the spell
are pelted with a rain of small objects (anything
from flowers to rotten fruit), which disappear upon
2427 striking. The barrage continues for 1 round. During
this time the targets are blinded and must make
Concentration checks (DC 15 + spell level) to cast
spells.
The spell affects a random target or area.
Randomly choose a different target from among
those in range of the spell or center the spell at a
random place within range of the spell. To
generate direction randomly, roll 1d8 and count
2831
clockwise around the compass, starting with
south. To generate range randomly, roll 3d6.
Multiply the result by 5 feet for close range spells,
20 feet for medium range spells, or 80 feet for
long range spells.
The spell functions normally, but any material
components are not consumed. The spell is not
expended from the casters mind (a spell slot or
3235
prepared spell can be used again). An item does
not lose charges, and the effect does not count
against an items or spell-like abilitys use limit.

7298 The spell functions normally.
The spell functions strongly. Saving throws
against the spell incur a 2 penalty. The spell has
99
the maximum possible effect, as if it were cast
100
with the Maximize Spell feat. If the spell is already
maximized with the feat, there is no further effect.
Flipside Dimension
The Flipside Dimension is an evil shadow of
the Prime Plane. "New York, the Big Apple" is
known as "Boo York, the Big Pumpkin." There
are no Ghostbusters, but there are
Peoplebusters, who use proton packs tuned to
work against living beings. Everyone in the
dimension is undead.
Strongly Evil Aligned: Most of the
inhabitants of these planes also are evil. In
addition, creatures of alignments contrary to the
plane have a tougher time dealing with its
natives and situations. The alignment trait of the
plane affects social interactions there.
Characters who follow other alignments than
most of the inhabitants find life more difficult.
A 2 circumstance penalty applies on all
Charisma-based checks made by all creatures
not of the planes alignment. In addition, the 2
penalty affects all Intelligence-based and
Wisdom-based checks, too.
Ecto-Containment Unit
The Ecto Containment Unit is a bleak
repository for souls of many species. Strange
lights, mists, and spectral shapes waft about
aimlessly. Human-like figures lean against the
walls in despairing convict poses. Others flit and
hang on the ceiling. It is a sad and frightening
limbo and a most unholy makeshift asylum.
Like it's smaller counterpart, the Containment
Unit utilizes a revolutionary laser containment
system. If we think of ghosts as a magnet block
(such as those used in science lessons at
school), the ghosts are the South (Negative)
end, and the proton packs are the North
(Positive) end. As we know when you put North
and South together they attract. The same thing
happens with the packs and ghosts, the two
charges attract each other and they merge.
If the laser grid around the inside of the ECU
(which is a large trap) were positive like the
Proton streams, the ghosts would merge with
the stream, and possibly be able to escape in
the same way they occasionally escape the
streams. However, if the grid lasers were
negatively charged (Electrons) a South on south
effect would happen. As the ghost approached
the edge of the ECU it would be propelled
backwards due to the shared charge, just as it
would should you put two south magnets
together.
The ECU is essentially its own mini-plane.
Time: The ECU is timeless. Time still
passes, but the effects of time are diminished.
How the timeless trait can affect certain activities
or conditions such as hunger, thirst, aging, the
effects of poison, and healing varies from plane
to plane.
The danger of a timeless plane is that once
one leaves such a plane for one where time
flows normally, conditions such as hunger and
aging do occur retroactively.
Shape: The ECU has a finite shape, not
unlike a prison. It has boundaries preventing
ghosts from straying beyond a certain limit.
Although the ECU is inconceivably large, it can
get crowded like a physical prison.
Morphic Traits: The ECU is unchanging.
Visitors cannot affect living residents of the
plane, nor objects that the denizens possess.
Any spells that would affect those on the plane
have no effect unless the planes static trait is
somehow removed or suppressed. Spells cast
before entering a plane with the static trait
remain in effect, however.
Even moving an unattended object within a
static plane requires a DC 16 Strength check.
Particularly heavy objects may be impossible to
move.
Magic Traits: The ECU is a dead magic
plane. A plane with the dead magic trait
functions in all respects like an antimagic field
spell. Divination spells cannot detect subjects
within a dead magic plane, nor can a spellcaster
use teleport or another spell to move in or out.
The only exception to the no magic rule is
permanent planar portals, which still function
normally.

"Today the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of hundreds of reported incidents involving
multiple sightings in what can only be described as extreme events of paranormal extraphenomenical
proportions. It seems everybody is willing to bring their old ghosts and skeletons out of the closet."
Classification
Class I
This type of entity is defined as an
undeveloped form, insubstantial and difficult to
see. The Class I's interaction with the physical
environment is limited and enigmatic (i.e.
spectral lights, voices, sounds). Simple
application of a proton pack beam is normally
effective.
Class II
Class II entities are incorporeal undead that
have visible characteristics and can physically
manipulate things (i.e. poltergeist). Class II
forms tend to be vague and inconsistent, like
hands or a face just floating there. Although a
proton pack beam is normally effective, some
Class II entities have the capacity to return
attacks.
Class III
When an incorporeal entity begins to take an
actual distinct human form (i.e. face, torso,
arms) it's classified as a Class III. III's can often
change their forms as well. If established, entity
is reassigned as Class IV. Often difficult to deal
with, Class III entities generally possess
sophisticated means of defense.
Class IV
When investigation reveals the former identity
of a Class III entity, it is reclassified as a Class
IV. Class IV entities are usually indistinct from
the chest down. Economic disposal methods
include research into the background of said
entity, as well as possible communication with it.
Class V
Class V entities are incorporeal beings that
have a non-humanoid form. Theory supposes
42 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
-- Roger Grimsby, Ghostbusters
that Class V's are formed from emotionally
charged events or locations. These typically
require extensive proton pack implementation to
eradicate.
Class VI
Class VI entities are incorporeal animals.
Unique solutions are often required to handle
these entities, including research into habitats,
allergies, natural enemies, etc.
Class VII
Class VII entities are outsiders with extra-
dimensional powers far beyond human ken.
Powers often include the ability to change form
at will, dematerialize objects, summon pests, or
possess people and animals.
Focused
An entity that is "focused" is unable to leave
the area or building where it first appears.
Free Floating
An entity that is not tied to a specific area as
opposed to a focused entity.
Full-Torso
Few entities appear in humanoid form. Full
torso entities have two arms, two legs, and a
head.
Repeater
An entity that will continue to return until the
source of the PKE that summons it is
discovered.
Vapor
An entity that is incorporeal.

Animated objects come in all sizes, shapes,
and colors. They owe their existence as
creatures to the animate power of ghosts.
COMBAT
Animated objects fight only as directed by the
ghost. They follow orders without question and
to the best of their abilities. Since they do not
need to breathe and never tire, they can be
extremely capable minions. An animated object
can have one or more of the following special
abilities, depending on its form.
as a carpet or tapestry can grapple an opponent
up to three sizes larger than itself. The object
makes a normal grapple check. If it wins, it
wraps itself around the opponents head,
causing that creature to be blinded until
removed.
Constrict (Ex): A flexible animated object
such as a rope, vine, or rug deals damage equal
to its slam damage value plus 1- 1/2 times its
Strength bonus with a successful grapple check
against a creature up to one size larger than
itself. An object of at least Large size can make
constriction attacks against multiple creatures at
once, if they all are at least two sizes smaller
than the object and can fit under it.
Hardness (Ex): An animated object has the
same hardness it had before it was animated.
Improved Speed (Ex): The base land speed
given in the statistics block assume that an
animated object lurches, rocks, or slithers along.
Objects with two legs (statues, ladders) or a
similar shape that allows faster movement have
a +10 foot bonus to speed. Objects with multiple
legs (tables, chairs) have a +20 foot bonus to
speed. Wheeled objects have a +40 foot bonus
to speed. Objects might have additional modes
of movement. A wooden object can float and
has a swim speed equal to half its land speed. A
rope or similar sinuous object has a climb speed
equal to half its land speed. A sheetlike object
can fly (clumsy maneuverability) at half its
normal speed.
Trample (Ex): An animated object of at least
Large size and with a hardness of at least 10
can trample creatures two or more sizes smaller
than itself, dealing damage equal to the objects
slam damage + 1-1/2 times its Strength bonus.
Opponents who do not make attacks of
opportunity against the object can attempt
Reflex saves (DC 10 + 1/2 objects HD +
objects Str modifier) to halve the damage.

44 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?


Ghosts are the spectral remnants of
intelligent beings that, for one reason or another,
cannot rest easily in their graves.
A ghost greatly resembles its corporeal form
in life, but in some cases the spiritual form is
somewhat altered.
CREATING A GHOST
Ghost is an acquired template that can be
added to any aberration, animal, dragon, giant,
humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid,
or plant. The creature (referred to hereafter as
the base creature) must have a Charisma score
of at least 6.
A ghost uses all the base creatures statistics
and special abilities except as noted here.
Size and Type: The creatures type changes
to undead. Do not recalculate the creatures
base attack bonus, saves, or skill points. It gains
the incorporeal subtype. Size is unchanged.
Hit Dice: All current and future Hit Dice
become d12s.
Speed: Ghosts have a fly speed of 30 feet,
unless the base creature has a higher fly speed,
with perfect maneuverability.
Defense: Natural armor is the same as the
base creatures but applies only to ethereal
encounters. When the ghost manifests (see
below), its natural armor bonus is +0, but it gains
a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma
modifier or +1, whichever is higher.
Attack: A ghost retains all the attacks of the
base creature, although those relying on
physical contact do not affect creatures that are
not ethereal.
Full Attack: A ghost retains all the attacks of
the base creature, although those relying on
physical contact do not affect creatures that are
not ethereal.
Damage: Against ethereal creatures, a ghost
uses the base creatures damage values.
Against non-ethereal creatures, the ghost
usually cannot deal physical damage at all but
can use its special attacks, if any, when it
manifests (see below).
Special Attacks: A ghost retains all the
special attacks of the base creature, although
those relying on physical contact do not affect
non-ethereal creatures. The ghost also gains a
Ghost
manifestation ability plus one to three other
special attacks as described below. The save
DC against a special attack is equal to 10 + 1/2
ghosts HD + ghosts Cha modifier unless
otherwise noted.
Animate (Su): The ghost can imbue
inanimate objects with mobility and a semblance
of life for 2d4 rounds. Each such animated
object then immediately attacks whomever or
whatever the ghost initially designates. An
animated object can be of any nonmagical
material. The ghost may animate one Small or
smaller object or an equivalent number of larger
objects per caster level. A Medium object counts
as two Small or smaller objects, a Large object
as four, a Huge object as eight, a Gargantuan
object as sixteen, and a Colossal object as
thirty-two. The ghost can change the designated
target or targets as a move action, as if directing
an active spell. This spell cannot animate
objects carried or worn by a creature. Animate
objects can be made permanent with a
permanency spell.
Corrupting Gaze (Su): A ghost can blast
living beings with a glance, at a range of up to
30 feet. Creatures that meet the ghosts gaze
must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 2d10
points of damage and 1d4 points of Charisma
damage.
Corrupting Touch (Su): A ghost that hits a
living target with its incorporeal touch attack
deals 1d6 points of damage. Against ethereal
opponents, it adds its Strength modifier to attack
and damage rolls. Against non-ethereal
opponents, it adds its Dexterity modifier to attack
rolls only.
Control Mind (Su): The ghost can control the
actions of any humanoid of Medium-size or
smaller for 2d4 rounds. The ghost establishes a
telepathic link with the subjects mind. If the
ghost and the subject share a common
language, the ghost can generally force the
subject to perform as he or she desires, within
the limits of the subjects abilities. If no common
language is shared, the ghost can only
communicate basic commands. The ghost
knows what the subject is experiencing but does
not receive direct sensory input from him or her.
Subjects resist this control, and those forced to
take actions against their natures receive a new
saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4,
depending on the type of action required.
Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 45
out. Once control is established, the range at
which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as
the ghost and subject are on the same plane.
The ghost need not see the subject to control it.
Protection from evil or a similar spell or power
can prevent the ghost from exercising control or
using the telepathic link while the subject is so
warded, but it does not prevent the
establishment of domination or negate it.
Draining Touch (Su): A ghost that hits a living
target with its incorporeal touch attack drains
1d4 points from any one ability score it selects.
On each such successful attack, the ghost heals
5 points of damage to itself. Against ethereal
opponents, it adds its Strength modifier to attack
rolls only. Against non-ethereal opponents, it
adds its Dexterity modifier to attack rolls only.
Frightful Moan (Su): A ghost can emit a
frightful moan as a standard action. All living
creatures within a 30-foot spread must succeed
on a Will save or become panicked for 2d4
rounds. This is a sonic necromantic mind-
affecting fear effect. A creature that successfully
saves against the moan cannot be affected by
the same ghosts moan for 24 hours.
Horrific Appearance (Su): Any living creature
within 60 feet that views a ghost must succeed
on a Fortitude save or immediately take 1d4
points of Strength damage, 1d4 points of
Dexterity damage, and 1d4 points of
Constitution damage. A creature that
successfully saves against this effect cannot be
affected by the same ghosts horrific appearance
for 24 hours.
Malevolence (Su): Once per round, an
ethereal ghost can merge its body with a
creature on the Material Plane. This ability is
similar to a magic jar spell (caster level 10th or
the ghosts Hit Dice, whichever is higher), except
that it does not require a receptacle. To use this
ability, the ghost must be manifested and it must
try move into the targets space; moving into the
targets space to use the malevolence ability
does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The
target can resist the attack with a successful Will
save (DC 15 + ghosts Cha modifier). A creature
that successfully saves is immune to that same
ghosts malevolence for 24 hours, and the ghost
cannot enter the targets space. If the save fails,
the ghost vanishes into the targets body.
Manifestation (Su): Every ghost has this
ability. A ghost dwells on the Ethereal Plane
and, as an ethereal creature, it cannot affect or
be affected by anything in the material world.
When a ghost manifests, it partly enters the
Material Plane and becomes visible but
46 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?

ghost can be harmed only by other incorporeal
creatures, magic weapons, or spells, with a 50%
chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal
source. A manifested ghost can pass through
solid objects at will, and its own attacks pass
through armor. A manifested ghost always
moves silently. A manifested ghost can strike
with its touch attack or with a ghost touch
weapon (see Ghostly Equipment, below). A
manifested ghost remains partially on the
Ethereal Plane, where is it not incorporeal.
Opponents on either the Material Plane or the
Ethereal Plane can attack a manifested ghost.
The ghosts incorporeality helps protect it from
foes on the Material Plane, but not from foes on
the Ethereal Plane.
When a spellcasting ghost is not manifested
and is on the Ethereal Plane, its spells cannot
affect targets on the Material Plane, but they
work normally against ethereal targets. When a
spellcasting ghost manifests, its spells continue
to affect ethereal targets and can affect targets
on the Material Plane normally unless the spells
rely on touch. A manifested ghosts touch spells
dont work on non-ethereal targets.
A ghost has two home planes, the Material
Plane and the Ethereal Plane. It is not
considered extraplanar when on either of these
planes.
Murphy (Su): The ghost gains limited
omniscience, causing the victim who fails a Will
save to reroll a saving throw, attack roll, or skill
check, and use the better of the worse rolls for
the result.
Make Illusion (Su): This power creates the
visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as
visualized by the ghost. Sound, smell, and
thermal illusions are included in the effect. While
concentrating, the ghost can move the image up
to 400 feet away. The image disappears when
struck by an opponent unless the ghost causes
the illusion to react appropriately.
Read Mind (Su): The ghost reads surface
thoughts. The amount of information revealed
depends on how long the ghost studies a
particular area or subject:
1st Round: Presence or absence of
thoughts (from conscious creatures with
Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and
the mental strength of each.
3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in
the area. A targets Will save prevents the
ghost from reading its thoughts, and the
ghost must manifest read mind again to
 have another chance. Creatures of animal
intelligence have simple, instinctual thoughts
that the ghost can pick up.
Intelligence Mental Strength
12 Animal
35 Very low
69 Low
1011 Average
1215 High
1617 Very high
1821 Genius
2225 Supra-genius
26+ Godlike
Note: Each round, the ghost can turn to read
minds in a new area. The power can penetrate
barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common
metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or
dirt blocks it.
Poltergeist (Su): The ghost moves objects or
creatures by concentrating on them. The power
can provide either a gentle, sustained force or a
single short, violent thrust (ghosts choice).
Sustained Force: A sustained force moves
a creature or object weighing up to 25
pounds per ghost level up to 20 feet per
round. A creature can negate the effect
against itself or against an object it
possesses with a successful Will save or
with power resistance. This version of the
power lasts up to 1 round per ghost level,
but it ends if the ghost ceases concentration.
The weight can be moved vertically,
horizontally, or both. An object cannot be
moved beyond the range of the power. The
power ends if the object is forced beyond
the range. If the ghost ceases concentration
for any reason, the object falls or stops. An
object can be telekinetically manipulated as
if with one hand. The ghost might even be
able to untie simple knots, though fine
actions such as these require Intelligence
checks against a DC set by the DM.
Violent Thrust: Alternatively, the telekinetic
power can be expended in a single round.
The ghost can hurl one or more objects or
creatures that are within range and all within
10 feet of each other toward any target
within 10 feet/level of all the objects. A ghost
can hurl up to a total weight of 25 pounds
per ghost level. The ghost must succeed at
attack rolls (one per creature or object
thrown) to hit the target with the items, using
his or her base attack plus Intelligence
modifier. Weapons cause standard damage
(with no Strength bonus). Other objects
cause damage ranging from 1 point per 25
pounds (for less dangerous objects) to 1d6
points of damage per 25 pounds for hard,
dense objects.
Creatures who fall within the weight capacity
of the power can be hurled, but they are allowed
Will saves to negate the effect, as are those
whose held possessions are targeted by the
power. If creatures are telekinetically hurled
against solid surfaces, they take damage as if
they had fallen 10 feet (1d6 points).
Slime (Su): Strands of ectoplasm wrap up the
subject like a mummy. The subject can still
breathe but is otherwise helpless, being unable
to see or take any physical actions. The subject
cannot speak because the ectoplasmic strands
muffle sounds, but the subjects nostrils are
clear. The subject can execute purely mental
actions (such as manifesting powers). The
writhing, regenerating nature of the cocoon
prevents its occupant from making a physical bid
for escape. However, cutting or damaging a
large enough strand can free the cocooned
victim. The strands have hardness 17 and 30 hit
points. Creatures that are cocooned high in the
air fall, and cocooned swimmers may drown.
Summon Pests (Su): The ghost summons a
swarm of bats, rats, or spiders (ghost's choice),
which attacks all other creatures within its area.
(The ghost may summon the swarm so that it
shares the area of other creatures.) If no living
creatures are within its area, the swarm attacks
or pursues the nearest creature as best it can.
The ghost has no control over its target or
direction of travel.
Telekinesis (Su): A ghost can use telekinesis
as a standard action (caster level 12th or equal
to the ghosts HD, whichever is higher). When a
ghost uses this power, it must wait 1d4 rounds
before using it again.
Special Qualities: A ghost has all the special
qualities of the base creature as well as those
described below.
Rejuvenation (Su): In most cases, its difficult
to destroy a ghost through simple combat: The
destroyed spirit will often restore itself in 2d4
days. Even the most powerful spells are usually
only temporary solutions. A ghost that would
otherwise be destroyed returns to its old haunts
with a successful level check (1d20 + ghosts
HD) against DC 16. As a rule, the only way to
get rid of a ghost for sure is to determine the
reason for its existence and set right whatever
prevents it from resting in peace. The exact
means varies with each spirit and may require a
good deal of research.
Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call? - 47
 Turn Resistance (Ex): A ghost has +4 turn
resistance.
Abilities: Same as the base creature, except
that the ghost has no Constitution score, and its
Charisma score increases by +4.
Skills: Ghosts have a +8 racial bonus on
Hide, Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
Otherwise same as the base creature.
Environment: Any, often as base creature.
Organization: Solitary, gang (24), or mob
(712).
Challenge Rating: Same as the base
creature +2.
Treasure: None.
Alignment: Any.
Level Adjustment: Same as the base
creature +5.
48 - Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Ghostly Equipment
When a ghost forms, all its equipment and
carried items usually become ethereal along
with it. In addition, the ghost retains 2d4 items
that it particularly valued in life (provided they
are not in another creatures possession). The
equipment works normally on the Ethereal Plane
but passes harmlessly through material objects
or creatures. A weapon of +1 or better magical
enhancement, however, can harm material
creatures when the ghost manifests, but any
such attack has a 50% chance to fail unless the
weapon is a ghost touch weapon (just as magic
weapons can fail to harm the ghost).
The original material items remain behind,
just as the ghosts physical remains do. If
another creature seizes the original, the ethereal
copy fades away. This loss invariably angers the
ghost, who stops at nothing to return the item to
its original resting place.

Michael Tresca
Michael "Talien" Tresca is a writer, communicator, speaker, artist, and gamer. He has an 11-year-old
D&D role-playing campaign, Welstar, which is one of the six worlds in RetroMUD and where many of his
short stories take place. Michael has published three D20 modules: "Tsar Rising", "All the King's Men,"
and "The Dancing Hut" from MonkeyGod Enterprises. He has written numerous supplements, including
"Frost and Fur" and "Abyss," also from MonkeyGod Enterprises, "Mercenaries: Born of Blood" from
Otherworld Creations, and "Combat Missions" from Paradigm Concepts. Michael has also contributed to
"Relics" from AEG and "The Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide" from Privateer Press. Michael has also
written magazine articles for Spectre Press' Survival Kit series, Dragon Magazine, Scrollworks, and D20
Weekly. He has written a multitude of reviews of role-playing and computer games for RPG.net,
Gamers.com, Allgame.com, and Talien and Maleficent's Bazaar. Michael has presented at various
panels, including Dragon*Con, I-Con, and Bakuretsucon. When he's not writing, Michael can be found as
his alter ego, Talien, on RetroMUD as an administrator. Michael lives in Connecticut with his wife, who is
an editor, and his cat, who is fluent in English.

Fritz Baugh
Fritz contributed the Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline. Fritz was a pretty active gamer with a small
circle of friends throughout the late 80's and most of the 90's (before some of them moved away and the
demands of having Real Life Jobs took their tolls on everyone else). They played D&D at first (like
everyone else) but moved on to other things, including several of the Palladium systems (their fantasy
RPG and Rifts both spawned campaigns lasting a couple of years apiece), Mayfair Games' DC Heroes,
dalliances with the World of Darkness, and yes, two separate runs of West End Games Ghostbusters
International. Technically, they started with Ghostbusters: A Frightfully Cheerful Role Playing Game in
1986, about the same time The Real Ghostbusters was coming onto television and blowing their minds.
"Kids today just don't understand how groundbreaking it was for it's time," said Fritz, "when before that
pretty much every show was exactly like Scooby Doo, the Smurfs, or Filmation's awful Ghost Busters
cartoon." A lot of the Ghostbusters fan fics Fritz has posted at his site are based on ideas they had both in
the GBI RPG and the others.

Matthew D. Riddle
Matthew contributed the Ghostbusters Fact List. Basically, the GB Fact List lists every fact about the
Ghostbusters, their tools, and their talents. The info was taken from the movies, cartoons, comic books,
and a few fan conjectures that are now considered canon by GB fans, or Ghostheads as they're known
as know. It has been formatted to go along with the Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline. Ben King, A.K.A.
Kingpin, and Matthew offer the Fact List as a guide to the backgrounds of the Ghostbusters and basically
everything in their universe.

Ripley and Mr. Jones the Cat are rescued
(setting the record for the longest ever
hypersleep). Ripleys stories about the Alien are
widely ignored. Having had her flight status
revoked, Ripley takes up residence aboard

Burke tries to get Alien specimens back to Earth
by attempting to impregnate Ripley and Newt.
They are saved, and as Burke is about to be
executed by Hicks, the Aliens attack. Ripley and
critically wounded Hicks escape through the
airshafts to the landing field to meet Bishop. The
Aliens capture Hudson, Burke, and Newt, while
Vasquez and Gorman are killed during the

killed in the crash and Bishop is rendered
inoperative. Superintendent Harold Andrews
requests Weyland-Yutani immediately evacuate
Ripley. Meanwhile the facehugger on the EEV
impregnates, Spike, a dog belonging to Prisoner
Thomas Murphy. The Alien attacks Prisoner
Murphy who falls into a giant fan and is killed. It
later attacks Prisoners Boggs and Rains, while
Prisoner Golic escapes. Ripley reactivates
Bishop who accesses the Sulacos flight
recorder and tells her that the Alien was on
board the Sulaco and is now on Fiorina. Shortly
after, the Alien kills Medical Officer Jonathan
Clemens. Before Ripley can alert Andrews, the
Alien also takes him. A number of prisoners are
killed in a fire while attempting to trap the Alien.
It is revealed that Ripley has an Alien Queen
inside of her. The next attempt to kill the Alien
results in all the remaining prisoners deaths,
apart from Prisoners Robert Morse and Leonard
Dillon. Dillon is killed when he lures the Alien
into the refinerys lead works. Prisoner Morse
dumps hot lead on the Alien, from which it
escapes. Ripley turns the sprinklers on it,
shattering the molten Alien into pieces. Michael
Bishop, the human prototype for the Bishop
model androids, arrives on the starship Patna at
Fiorina just in time to see Ripley throw herself
into the refinerys furnace in order to stop
Weyland-Yutani getting their hands on an Alien

attempt. The Alien Queen inside her is removed,
but some of their DNA mixes during the cloning
process. The Betty docks with the Auriga and
unloads its cargo. The abducted passengers are
impregnated with Alien embryos which hatch
shortly after, then escape and run amok through
the ship, killing or capturing most of the crew,
including General Perez. Ripley along with Dr
Wren, Private Vincent Distephano and the crew
of the Betty attempt to escape from the Auriga,
which is autopiloting back to Earth. During the
escape, Elgyn, Christie, and Hillard are killed or
captured. They encounter Ripleys seven
previous clones, which Ripley destroys, and one
impregnated survivor from the Xarem transport
named Lawrence Purvis. Wren turns on the
group and shoots Call, making his own way to
the Betty. It is revealed that Call is an Auton.
Call accesses Father (the Aurigas computer)
and adjusts its flight path so it will crash, rather
than land on Earth. Ripley is captured by the
Aliens, while Call, Johner, Vriess, Distephano
and Purvis make it to the Betty. However Wren
has beaten them already and threatens to kill
Call unless she resets the Aurigas flight path.
As Purvis embryo begins to emerge, he fights
Wren, placing Wrens head over his chest. The
embryo hatches killing Purvis and Wren.
Distephano, Johner, and Call kill the
chestburster. Meanwhile, Ripley witnesses the
birth of the Newborn, an Alien/Human hybrid.
The Newborn kills the Alien Queen, and then
comes after Ripley. Ripley races back to the
Betty, just as is takes off. The Betty escapes as
the Auriga crashes into southern Africa and
explodes. However the Newborn is on board the
Betty, and it kills Distephano, then goes after
Call. Ripley manages to tame it momentarily,
while flinging some of her own acidic blood on a
porthole. The porthole disintegrates and the
Newborn is sucked out. The Betty enters Earths
atmosphere (Alien Resurrection).

 CHARACTERS
"The A/2's always a bit twitchy. That could never happen now with our behavioral inhibitors. It is
impossible for me to harm, or by omission of action allow to be harmed, a human being."
In the Aliens universe, USM Marines is the
last remnants of resistance against the rise of
the machines. The weak, slow, and stupid have
long since been weeded out. USM Marines
members are the toughest, savviest, and fastest
humanity has to offer. As a result, all USM
Marines members have access to combat feats.
Service Synthetics as PCs
Synthetics are essentially robots that are
human in appearance. Synthetics were
developed by the early 22nd century to a degree
where they were externally indistinguishable
from a normal human being. Internally, the
Synthetics body is laid out much like a humans,
with an artificial skeleton and a white blood
substitute, though instead of organs there are
machine parts, and instead of veins there are
wires. One of the original developers of
Synthetics was Hyperdyne Systems, which
developed Synthetics such as Ash.
The United States Colonial Marine Corps
later used Synthetics extensively, to the extent
where it was standard for a Synthetic to
accompany each ship. Though stronger, faster
and ultimately better coordinated than the
average human, Synthetics are rarely employed
in tactical positions. Instead they are used as
drivers for vehicles such as armored personnel
carriers, pilots of crafts such as dropships and
troop carriers, medics, scientific advisors and an
interacting database of information.
Synthetics are generally noted as having
passive, or neutral personalities, and also serve
the purpose of morale officer. Synthetics used
by the USCM are unable to harm, either directly
or indirectly a human being, so where incapable
of firing a weapon at a human, and would strive
to save human life, whatever the cost. This was
not so for earlier models such as the Hyperdyne
System 120 A/2, which are programmed for
specific tasks, but are often faulty. Michael
Bishop was involved in the USCM Synthetic
program as a designer.
In the late 23rd century, the Synthetic
industry was in a downturn. Developing Second

Gens, also known as Autons, revitalized it.
Autons are Synthetics designed and built by
other Synthetics, meaning they are significantly
more advanced. Autons pass as humans far
more easily than normal Synthetics, as proved
by Call, who was only discovered to be an Auton
when she was shot in the stomach by Wren and
began to bleed white blood. They are highly
ethical and emotional, with complex
paradigmatic reasoning structures. For this
reason, they disliked being given orders. The
government that sanctioned their development
ordered a recall. Some escaped the purge,
including Call. Instead of revitalizing the
synthetics industry, the Auton project buried it.
Power for a Synthetic is supplied by a 25kw
fuel cell with a life of approximately 400 days
between refueling. Synthetic skeletal structure
suffers the same weaknesses as humans.
Synthetics actually wear out over time and
require maintenance every two years. In most
cases of extreme damage, a partially destroyed
Synthetic can continue to function, albeit
handicapped.
The majority of Synthetics in military service
appear as mature, average males or females
around 20 to 40 years of age.

Synthetics are structurally more fragile than

Alien Hybrids as PCs

Doctors Wren and Gediman aboard the USM
Auriga successfully created a clone of Ellen
Ripley on the eighth attempt. "Ripley 8" was the
beginning of a long series of research dedicated
to taking advantage of the Aliens physiognomy
to create a form of super soldier.
Alien Hybrids are strong enough to punch
through metal doors and fling 300 lb. men
across a room with one hand. While they
possess red blood, it has acidic properties
similar to Aliens, although not as potent.
Hybrids have an amazing healing ability, even

was terraformed by the Corporation. Aerodyne
specializes in aircraft and spacecraft technology,
and works cooperatively with Weyland-Yutani.
Recently, Aerodyne and Weyland-Yutani
opened the Arcturus Loop, a direct trade link
that does not run through Earth. This has
understandably upset Earth-bound Corporations
as well as the government.

Bio-National Employee
Bio-National, of all the Corporations, is a
prime example of the Corporate stereotype.
Bionational claims it has the sole patent on
Aliens for the Weapons Development Program.
They were the first to establish a hive (and an
Alien Queen) on Earth. Bio-National will do
anything to retain its stranglehold on Alien
technology and is not above murdering people
to get it. It is also the wealthiest and largest of
the various groups. They have labs in Houston.

Central Space Consortium (CSC)
Employee
The CSC is one of the few Corporations to
openly defy government rule. It is actually a
consortium of smaller Corporations all working
together. As a result, CSC's primary influence is
on Alexandria, where is it currently quarantined
from the rest of the universe. There is a
mandatory four-year military/public service term
for all citizens of Alexandria from the ages of 18
to 22. Most fulfill this requirement by working in
technical and trade institutions, on community
support programs, and in the large terraforming
and community expansion projects.

Hyperdyne Systems Employee
The Hyperdyne Corporation was the first to
develop Synthetics, including the Hyperdyne
System 120-A/2. Though their work was
pioneering in the early 22nd century, many of
their Synthetics were flawed (e.g., Ash from
Alien). Hyperdyne has always been in
competition with Weyland-Yutani, a competition
that almost blossomed into open warfare in the
race to colonize new worlds. The crown jewel of
Hyperdyne's planets is Hilo, where secret
Synthetics research is performed. Amongst
Hyperdyne's employees, there is no trace of
dissent. Hyperdyne employees are taught that
the ends justify the means. The rewards for
those who succeed at Hyperdyne immense:
wealth, power, and even access to illegal
technologies.

Mercenary
These rules do not cover contracts, pay, and
other aspects of life working for a Corporation.
For a mercenary group similar to the pirate crew

Brawl, Combat Martial Arts, Light Armor
Proficiency, or Personal Firearms Proficiency.
Wealth Bonus Increase: +3.
Neo-Pharm Employee
Led by the infamous Daniel Grant, Neo-
Pharm is credited with creating the first strains of
Xeno-Zip. Xeno-Zip was touted as a legitimate
"upper" for Earth's depressed citizens. Its main
ingredient is Royal Jelly, but Neo-Pharm tried to
create a synthetic version that had some nasty
side effects. Neo-Pharm employees know a lot
about chemicals, a little about public relations,
and not much else. With a CEO and Chairman
like Daniel Grant, his cult of personality covers
up most of Neo-Pharm's sins. That said, Neo-
Pharm ultimately had to make a deal with the
government after it was discovered that
synthetic Xeno-Zip turned some people into
killing machines.
Prerequisite: Age 23+.

Cautious, Deceptive, Educated, Gearhead,
Renown, Studious.
Wealth Bonus Increase: +1.
New Eden/JV Employee
New Eden/JV exists primarily because of the
discovery of the Earth-like planet of the same
name. The planet's early colonization increased
the riches of all the Corporations involved, who
promptly founded a megacorporation to protect
their interests. Control of New Eden/JV is
determined along democratic lines, with each
member Corporation receiving votes based on
its wealth and rate of growth. Personnel on New
Eden can easily change their employment from
one member of New Eden/JV to another. This
guarantees that everyone is well treated and
that real talent is rewarded. The good treatment
afforded the employees of New Eden/JV has
prevented the Corporations from truly
maximizing their short-term profits. But because
of the wealth produced by the planet, New Eden
can afford to be lenient. Other Corporations feel
that New Eden is an example of poor
management.

Tradex Consortium Employee
Tradex is superficially similar to Eden/JV.
Like Eden/JV, it is a consortium of smaller
Corporations. It is base out of Micor, the richest
of the colonies. Tradex has a vast corps of
scientists and researchers, graduates of
Tradex's chain of universities on Earth. These
schools represent the highest education
possible for Earth's billions and allow Tradex to
hand pick the best talent. On graduation, the
students are offered positions with Tradex with
the promise that, if they are successful, they can
move to Micor. Driven by youthful optimism and
courage, many students take the offer. These
students in turn are leased out to smaller
Corporations, where they work in the most
advanced scientific projects. Tradex receives a
share of the proceeds form these projects and
passes on a small percentage of the rewards on
to its employees.

Weyland-Yutani Employee
Weyland-Yutani is a large corporation based
on Earth and operating throughout the 22nd and
23rd centuries. Originally Japanese and
American in origin, Weyland-Yutani, often called
The Company by its employees, grew to be one
of the largest conglomerated corporations on the
planet, mainly because it was so versatile,
dealing in many areas such as Bio-Weapons,
manufacturing, correctional facilities,
terraforming, mining, brewing and freight. It also
had a few defense contracts under the military.
The corporation went through something of a
shakeup in the mid-22nd century changing its
name slightly (adding a d on Weylan) and
making a dramatic change to its corporate logo.
All Weyland-Yutani employees stationed on
board starships required ICC licenses. In fact,
Weyland-Yutani had close affiliations with many
16 Aliens: Game Over
other organizations that dealt in similar areas,
including the Interstellar Commerce Commission
and the Extrasolar Colonization Administration.
The Bio-Weapons Division became a prominent
division in the late 22nd century, when news of
Aliens on Acheron reached Earth. It took over
the world of Relitor and renamed it after the
Corporation. Walmart, a similar corporation in
the late 23rd century and early 24th century,
bought out Weyland-Yutani.

Military Occupations
U.S. Colonial vs. USM
Despite superficial differences, it is entirely
possible to play Aliens: Game Over using these
rules for the Colonial Marine Corps (like the
Marines from Aliens). The USM Marine Corps is
simply a more diverse and recent incarnation.
The differences between the two groups are
superficial but telling: Colonial Marines are more
American-centric and culled from the Americas
rather than an international force.
Marine Organization
The Marine Corp operates under the direct
orders of Space Command, with command
posts at Houston, TX and O'Neill station, L-4
Earth-Lunar System. It is organized into Marine
Space Forces: Sol, with responsible for
operations through the core systems; Eridani,
with responsibility out along the Chinese and
American colonized arms; and Herculis, with
responsibility for the fringes of the Network. The
Marine Space Forces (MSF) is part of the
Aerospace Force fleets and is subject to control
of the fleet commanders.
The Marine Aerospace Wing is the
aerospace element of the MSF. A typical Marine
aerospace wing operates 300 dropships, 30
heavy-lift shuttles, and 100 strikeships.
The USCM Starlift Command is an allied
branch of the USAF Transport Command.
Starlift Command is essentially an administrative
organization, arranging for the attachment of
USASF transports to fulfill individual missions.
Where additional USASF vessels are required
for escort, space control and aerospace support,
Colonial Marine transports and assault vessels
come under the command of the USAF fleet
commander. For missions that do not require
USASF support, transports remaining under
USCM command. The three major classes of
ships employed by Starlift Command include the
Conestoga class light assault ship, the
Henderson Field class transport, and the
Okinawa class assault carrier.
The Marine Division is the basic ground
element of the MSF. Two squads, led by a
Sergeant and riding with a driver in an M577
Armored Personnel Carrier, make up a section.
In a drop operation, a UD-4 dropship is attached
to the section from the Aerospace company
team.
The key component of the Marine Division is
the Strike Team. A Strike Team consists of four
Marines, including a Corporal, a Lance Corporal,
and two Privates/Privates First Class. Each
Strike Team divides into two-man fireteams: the
Rifle Team and the Gun Team. The Rifle team
consists of a pair of riflemen assigned together
on the "buddy" system, both equipped with the
M41 pulse rifle. The Gun Team is made up of a
rifleman with an M41 and a Machinegun
Specialists carrying the automatic M56 smart
gun.
Two sections, led by a lieutenant, form a rifle
platoon. All told, this constitutes up to 25
Marines. Platoons commonly carry one or two
Synthetics in a technical or scientific role. When
on Corporate business, Marines are
accompanied by a Corporate representative.
The weaponry available to a platoon includes
eight M240 flamethrowers, eight UA-571 remote
sentry guns, two M78 PIG phased plasma guns
or M5 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 18
M83 SADAR anti-tank smart rockets, and one
M402 multiple-launch fire-support mortar.
Sensor equipment is also provided to provide
surveillance of up to 1,000 meters.

 FEATS AND POWERS
"I can feel it behind my eyes. I can hear it moving."
New Feats
These feats are appropriate for both USM
and CMC campaigns.
Blind Angle Burst [GENERAL]
Used during close combat, a flame burst
from a M240 can be bounced off facing walls or
surfaces to attack an enemy around a blind
corner.
Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Precise
Shot.
Benefit: If the character has a solid,
relatively smooth surface on which to bounce a
flame (such as a street or a concrete wall), and
a target within 10 feet of that surface, the
character may ignore cover between the
character and the target. However, the character
receives a 2 penalty on his or her attack roll,
and the characters attack deals 1 die of
damage.
Special: The surface doesnt have to be
perfectly smooth and level; a brick wall or an
asphalt road can be used. The target can have
no more than nine-tenths cover for a character
to attempt a Blind Angle Burst.
High Angle Flame [GENERAL]
The wielder increases the range of the M240
by making a high angle shot and firing the flame
up at an angle of about 45 degrees. The
burning fuel then descends onto the target in an
arc. In this way, shots can be made up to a
range of 50 meters.
Prerequisites: Far Shot.
Benefit: The wielder can extend the range of
the M240 flamethrower to 150 feet.
High-G Maneuvering [GENERAL]
The character is practiced at moving and
fighting effectively in gravities from 1.1 G and
higher. Characters with no special training have
20 Aliens: Game Over
Ripley 8, Alien Resurrection
a hard time moving, much less fighting, in high
gravity.
Effect: The character operates in these
environments with no penalty to Attack or Skill
checks, and moves at Full Speed.
Normal: Characters without this feat in light
gravity take a 2 circumstance penalty on attack
rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and Tumble
checks. All items weigh half as much. Projectile
weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
Low-G Maneuvering [GENERAL]
The character is practiced at moving and
fighting effectively in gravities from .8 to .1 G.
Characters with no special training have a hard
time moving, much less fighting, in low gravity.

zipping in and out of an enemys sights.
 Prerequisite: Dexterity 13, Starship Dodge,
Starship Mobility.
Benefit: When using an attack action with a
starship ranged weapon, you can move both
before and after the attack, provided that the
total distance moved does not exceed the
starships tactical speed.
Moving in this way does not provoke an
attack of opportunity from the defender you are
attacking (though it can provoke attacks of
opportunity from other nearby starships, as
normal).
Starship Dodge [GENERAL]
You are adept at dodging attacks while
piloting starships.
Prerequisite: Dexterity 13, Pilot 6 ranks,
Starship Operation (of the appropriate type).
Benefit: When piloting a starship of a type
with which you are proficient (see the Starship
Operation feat), you apply a +1 dodge bonus to
your ships Defense against attacks from one
enemy starship you designate during your
action. You can select a new enemy ship on any
action.
Starship Feint [GENERAL]
You are skilled at misleading your enemy in
starship combat.
Prerequisite: Pilot 9 ranks, Starship
Operation (of the appropriate type).
Benefit: When piloting a ship with which you
are proficient (see the Starship Operation feat),

an attack action.
Starship Gunnery [GENERAL]
You are proficient with starship weapon
systems.
Benefit: You do not take a penalty on attack

Starship Mobility [GENERAL]
You are adept at dodging attacks while
piloting starships.
Prerequisite: Dexterity 13, Starship Dodge.
Benefit: When piloting a starship of a type
with which you are proficient (see the Starship
Operation feat), you apply a +4 dodge bonus to
your ships Defense against attacks of
opportunity caused when you move out of or
within a starships threatened area. Any
condition that makes you lose your Dexterity
bonus to Defense also makes you lose your
dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses (such as this
one and the dodge bonus granted by the
Starship Dodge feat) stack with each other,
unlike most types of bonuses.
Starship Operation [GENERAL]
Select one of the following types of starships:
ultralight, light, mediumweight, heavy, or
superheavy. You are proficient at operating
starships of that type.
Prerequisite: Pilot 2 ranks.

normal.
Prerequisite: Starship Gunnery.
Benefit: When using a starships ranged
weapon on autofire, you can affect an area four

normally affects a 1,000-foot-by-1,000-foot area.
Aliens: Game Over - 21
Wetshot [GENERAL]
By switching the nozzle burner off, a M240
can fire a stream of thickened fuel at the enemy,
which mists as it reaches the end of its
trajectory. When the nozzle burner is clicked
back on, a subsequent shot can ignite the fuel
vapor, creating an intense fireball.
Prerequisites: Far Shot.
Benefit: The wielder of the M240 must make
a touch attack with the flamethrower on the first
round. On the second round the wielder spends
his action to ignite the fuel. So long as the target
is within range, everything between the wielder
and target (including the target), bursts into
flames, ignoring cover and disallowing any
Reflex save. This automatically sets fire to the
area and can quickly burn out of control.
Zero-G Training [GENERAL]
You can function normally in low gravity or
zero gravity.
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Tumble 4 ranks.
Benefits: You take no penalty on attack rolls
in low-gravity or zero-gravity environments. In
addition, you do not suffer the debilitating effects
of space sickness.
Normal: Without this feat, you take a 4
penalty on attack rolls while operating in zero-
gravity environments, or a 2 penalty on attack
rolls while operating in low-gravity environments.
In addition, you are subject to the effects of
Space Adaptation Syndrome, also known as
space sickness.
Psionics
These psionics are appropriate for both USM
and CMC campaigns. The psionics are primarily
limited to Alien queens. However, Alien hybrids
can take each psionic power (in order of level)
as a feat.
Brain Lock (BL)
Telepathy (Cha) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Psion 2
Display: Vi, Ma
Manifestation Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One humanoid of Medium-size or
smaller
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Power Resistance: Yes
22 Aliens: Game Over
Power Points: 3
The subject stands mentally paralyzed,
unable to take any actions. The brain locked
subject is not stunned (so attackers get no
special advantage). He or she can defend
against physical attacks (Dexterity bonus to
Defense still applies), but otherwise cant move,
and cant use psionic powers.
A brain locked flyer cannot flap its wings and
falls. A swimmer cant swim and may drown.

The manifester can control the actions of any
humanoid of Medium-size or smaller. The
manifester establishes a telepathic link with the
subjects mind. If the manifester and the subject
share a common language, the manifester can
generally force the subject to perform as he or
she desires, within the limits of the subjects
abilities. If no common language is shared, the
manifester can only communicate basic
commands. The manifester knows what the
subject is experiencing but does not receive
direct sensory input from him or her.
 Subjects resist this control, and those forced
to take actions against their natures receive a
new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4,
depending on the type of action required.
Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried
out. Once control is established, the range at
which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as
the manifester and subject are on the same

The manifester plants a hidden death-urge

impulse slowly takes root and reinforces itself in
the subjects mind over a period of 1d4 days.
The subjects conscious mind remains
completely unaware of the death urge secretly
swelling within. The subjects companions, if
any, may each make one Wisdom check on the
final day of the time period to notice that the
subject seems unaccountably dour and fatalistic.

will take reasonable steps to get close to the

reasonable means that while fascinated, the

The manifester influences the actions of the
subject creature by suggesting a course of
action (limited to a sentence or two). The
suggestion must be worded in such a manner as
to make the action sound reasonable. Asking
the creature to do some other obviously harmful
act automatically negates the effect of the
power. The suggested course of action can
continue for the entire duration. If the suggested
action can be completed in a shorter time, the
power ends when the subject finishes what he or
she was asked to do. The manifester can
instead specify conditions that will trigger a
special action during the duration. If the
condition is not met before the power expires,
the action is not performed.
A very reasonable suggestion causes the
saving throw to be made with a penalty (such as
1, 2, and so on) at the discretion of the DM.

The standard sidearm for Marines, this 9mm
automatic, recoil-operated pistol weighs no more
than 0.95 kg, with a full magazine of 12 rounds
included.
Longarms
Pulse Rifle (M41A)
The Armat M41A is a 10mm pulse-action air-
cooled automatic assault rifle, the basic rifle of
the Marine Corps. The standard service variant
has an over-and-under configuration that
incorporates a PN 30mm ump-action grenade
launcher. A 3x power AN/RVS-52 CCD
television sight can be optionally fitted to the
carrying handle.
The M41A fires the standard US M309 10mm
x 24 round. This ammunition comprises a 210-
grain projectile embedded with a rectangular
caseless propellant block of Nitramine 50. The
standard M41 ammunition clip holds up to 99
M309 rounds in "U" bend conveyor, which feeds
the rounds mechanically into the rotating breech
mechanism. An LED display just below the
receiver indicates the remaining ammo. A
Lithium battery in the carrying handle provides
electrical power for the gun's motor mechanism.
The battery is good for 10,000 rounds and can
be recharged from a rifle rack or with a portable
power clip.
Pulse Rifle (UA 571-C)
The UA 571-C is a portable remote sentry
weapons system. It weighs 19.6 kg and can be
assembled in just under 150 seconds. The UA
571-C mounts a pulse action gun, using the
M250 10mm x 28 HEAP round. It queries
targets using the Identification Friend/Foe (IFF)
transponder which all Marines and their vehicles
carry.
requiring a Listen check (DC 15) to locate the
source of the gunfire.
Ammunition is fed from a 15 round magazine
inserted beneath the stock of the rifle. The
M252 HEAP round has a maximum effective
range of 2,950 meters. The factory standard
M250 smart gun round can also be used, with a
reduced range of 2,000 meters. A combined,
multi-spectral twenty-power passive sensor
scope is mounted over the receiver.
The scope display shows a composite image
based on visual, infrared, and electromagnetic
emissions. The scope increases the range
increment by one-half (multiply by 1.5).
However, to use a scope a character must
spend an attack action acquiring his or her
target. If the character changes targets or
otherwise lose sight of the target, he or she must
reacquire the target to gain the benefit of the
scope. The scope works in darkness -- the user
sees through it as if he or she had the darkvision
ability granted by night vision goggles.
The scope is accompanied by a PARGET
control system, able to connect the rifle into the
local sentry gun matrix. It takes one round to
acquire a new target. Thereafter, PARGET
bestows a +1 equipment bonus on all attack
rolls.
Submachinegun (TA01)
Developed by Tradex, this 9mm
submachinegun is carried by security forces and
Marines patrolling highly populated colonies. It is

Other Ranged Weapons
Flamethrower (M240)
The M240A1 is a lightweight, carbine-format
flamethrower designed for use in close combat.
It shoots a 5-foot-wide, 90-foot-long line of flame
that deals 3d6 points of fire damage to all
creatures and objects in its path. No attack roll is
necessary, and thus no feat is needed to
operate the weapon effectively. Any creature
caught in the line of flame can make a Reflex
save (DC 15) to take half damage. Creatures
with cover get a bonus on their Reflex save.
The M240A1's ammunition has hardness 5
and 5 hit points. When wielded, the M2401A1
has a Defense equal to 9 + the wielder's
Dexterity modifier + the wielder's class bonus. A
M240A1 reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and
explodes, dealing 6d6 points of fire damage to
the wearer (no save allowed) and 3d6 points of
splash damage to creatures and objects in
adjacent 5-foot squares (Reflex save, DC 15, for
half damage).
Once the target is hit, fuel droplets from the
flamethrower stick and continue to burn,
inflicting 1d6 points of fire damage each
subsequent round until the flames are
extinguished. A fire engulfing a single creature
or object can be doused or smothered as a full-
round action. Discharging a fire extinguisher is a
move action and instantly smothers flames in a
10-foot-by-10-foot area.
A flamethrower can shoot 10 times before
the fuel supply is depleted. Refilling or replacing
a fuel pack has a purchase DC of 13.
Heavy Weapons
Gatling Gun, 20mm (M579)
This 20mm gatling gun is mounted on an
M570-series armored chassis. The M579 can
track and defeat even hypervelocity threats up to
1,500 m away by filling the air with high
explosive and armor penetrating shells.
Gatling Gun, 25mm (RE700)
The Republic Electric gatling gun uses a long
magazine that unleashes leaden fury on
anything its path. It fires so quickly that only the
muzzle flash designates where it's aiming. The
effects on its targets are much more visible.
30 Aliens: Game Over
Grenade Launcher, 30mm (M79)
This 30mm grenade launcher comprises a
barrel, breech and a four round internal
magazine, which is charged by hand pumping
individual grenade cartridges into the
mechanism.
Grenade Launcher, 40mm (UA
571-F)
This version of the grenade launcher is
mounted on the UA 571-D remote sentry
weapons system.
Laser, Light (UA 571-D)
This 20-megawatt HF laser is usually
mounted on the UA 571-D remote sentry
weapons system.
Laser, Medium (M2025)
The Republic Dynamics M2025 is a 40-
megawatt free electron laser. The power source
of the Boyars is a 6-megawatt hydrogen fuel cell
capable of powering 3,000 firings before
refueling. Because of the power usage, it
usually is fired in sequence with another Boyars.
Each gun carries up to 1000 rounds of
ammunition. Maximum effective range is
dependent upon the ambient atmospherics, but
it can reach 4,000 meters in ideal conditions. In
"dazzle" mode, the beam is used to burn out
enemy optical/infrared sensors or blind
infantrymen and pilots, has a low output (20 KW
to 50 KW). In "pulse" mode, the beam is pulsed
at full power at the target. Damage is caused by
the mechanical impulse of the beam as it
superheats the target area.
Laser, Heavy (M820)
The M820 is a rapid-pulsing 80-megawatt
free-electron laser that employs the beam both
as a lidar to acquire and track the target and
also as a high-energy attack. Against missiles,
the M820 can be fired in a continuous wave to
blind optical instruments as well as troops.
Machinegun, Medium (M56 Smart

The awesome M56A2 is an automatic squad
support weapon that requires a weapon harness
so one Medium-size mercenary can carry it. It
has a floating breech mechanism chambered,
and can devastate targets at both long and short
ranges. The smart gun has an on-board
computer that assists in the tracking and firing. It
selects targets and also uses the servos in the
harness to aim the weapon. When firing a burst
with the M56A2, the Marine receives a +1
equipment bonus to the next attack for each
successful hit. Therefore, a M56A2 burst firing
three rounds would receive a +1 bonus after the
first round hit and a +2 bonus after the second
round hit. This machinegun fires five-round
bursts. A standard drum magazine holds 100
rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 200
shots.
Machinegun, Heavy (M292)
Mounted on the M292, this 41-caliber 158
mm tube can launch six rounds in under ten
seconds, putting the last round into flight before
the first has impacted the target.
Mortar, Multiple Launch (M402)
The M402 is a 80mm twin-tube launcher fed
from an automatic round rotary magazine.
Though portable, the entire system weighs
nearly 70 kg and must be transported by a least
three Marines.
A skilled crew can fire this potent weapon
once per round, delivering sustainable fire
(especially when used in groups) on forward
targets. Since this weapon may be
disassembled, its weight may be divided
between the three-man crew that operates it. A
skilled crew (5 ranks in the Artillerist skill) may
assemble this weapon as a full-round action. A
common tactic with this weapon is to position
several mortar behind a hill to gain cover from
direct fire (the mortar can fire over the hill at no
penalty).
The M402 has a sophisticated site that
provides the gunner of the weapon a +2 to hit.
Using a scope is an attack action.
Mortar, Single Launch (M112)
The M112 Hypervelocity Intelligence Missile,
Anti-Tank (HIMAT) is a man-portable battlefield
mortar with a range of over 5,000 m. The core
element of the system is a 11.3 kg single-round
self-contained disposable launcher, which
comes with its own bipod stand and baseplate.
It can be set to command or autonomous
configurations, which are in turn connected to a
APS-100 Fire Controller. In direct offense, the
M112 can be fired immediately using a passive
infrared imaging sight and active ultrasonic
motion tracker known as the SR-90. The cable
pays out up to 150 meters, long enough to keep
the operator safely away from the missile.
The M112 has a sophisticated site that
provides the gunner of the weapon a +3 to hit.
Using a scope is an attack action.
Particle Beam Cannon, Light
The 20 MeV turboalternator powered
charged particle beam cannons fire for up to 50
seconds, with 300 kg of deuterium tankage to
provide particle beam mass.
Particle Beam Cannon, Heavy
The 800 MeV turboalternator powered
Neutral Particle Beam weapon is capable of
disabling a target's electronics and
instrumentation at ranges up to 100,000 km.
Sufficient deuterium exists for up to 230 seconds
of firing.
Phased Plasma Cannon, Light
(MW Boyars PARS 150)
The power source of the Boyars is a 6-
megawatt hydrogen fuel cell capable of
powering 3,000 firings before refueling.
Because of the power usage, it usually is fired in
sequence with another Boyars. Each gun
carries up to 1000 rounds of ammunition.
Maximum effective range is dependent upon the
ambient atmospherics, but it can reach 4,000
meters in ideal conditions.
Phased Plasma Cannon, Medium
(M78)
The M78 PIG is a man-portable anti-armor
weapon. It weighs 15.2 in its entirety. The M78
is a 15 MW phased plasma system firing
vaporized Cadmium Telluride pellets from a 30
round feed. The penetrating power is such that
is it rumored to be able to penetrate a heavy
tank at 1,000 m.
Phased Plasma Cannon, Heavy
(M270)
The M270 is a mobile phased plasma gun
capable of engaging line-of-sight targets with
exceptional accuracy and lethality. It is one of
the few air defense weapons in service packing
sufficient kinetic punch to destroy an artillery
round in flight.
Aliens: Game Over - 31
Rocket Launcher, Multiple (LAU-
190/A)
This 16-tube launcher is usually mounted on
the UD-4 Cheyenne dropship. It works with the
Mk. 16 150mm Banshee 70 system to fire spin-
stabilized rockets. Each rocket has a fluted
exhaust nozzle with three spring-mounted wrap-
around fins at the rear. The Mk. 16 model has a
high-impulse rocket motor, giving a burnout
velocity in excess of 1800 meters per second.
This provides excellent sand-off range and
accuracy in its air-to-surface role. It has an
onboard targeting computer that provides a +3
bonus to attack rolls when a target has been
acquired.
Rocket Launcher, Single (M83A2)
The M38A2 Shoulder-launched Active-
homing Disposable Anti-tank Rocket (SADAR) is
a one-shot anti-armor weapon capable of
engaging enemy vehicles at ranges of up to
1,000 m. It is fully disposable and uses an IR
seeker mounted on the rocket's nose. Since
SADAR is an open-chambered weapon,
backblast must be taken into account of at least
10 meters.
When the SADAR hits its target, it explodes
like a grenade or other explosive, dealing its
10d6 points of damage to all creatures within a
10-foot radius (Reflex save DC 18 for half
32 Aliens: Game Over
damage). Because its explosive features a
shaped charge designed to penetrate the armor
of military vehicles, the SADAR ignores up to 10
points of hardness if it strikes a vehicle, building,
or object. However, this only applies to the
target struck, not to other objects within the burst
radius. The M38A2 has a minimum range of 30
feet. If fired against a target closer than 30 feet
away, it does not arm and will not explode. The
Exotic Firearms Proficiency (rocket launchers)
feat applies to this weapon.
Rocket-Propelled Grenade
Launcher (M5)
The M5 is a rocket propelled grenade system
with a small reloadable shoulder-launcher.
Sighted visually, the system has an accurate
range of approximately 400 m and a maximum
range of around 2,000 m.
These grenades look like huge bullets an
inch and a half across. Attacking with an M5 is
identical to throwing an explosive: you make a
ranged attack against a specific 5-foot square
(instead of targeting a person or creature). The
differences between using the M5 and throwing
an explosive lie in the range of the weapon
(which far exceeds the distance a hand grenade
can be thrown) and the fact that the M5 requires
a weapon proficiency to operate without penalty.
The Exotic Firearms Proficiency (grenade
launchers) feat applies to this weapon.

Aliens: Game Over - 33

Grenade, Canister (M108)
Essentially a large shotgun round with a
range of 30 meters, this small cartridge has a
flat, black nose. Marines use it as effective
firepower for up-close engagements.
Grenade, Bounding Fragmentation
(M51A)
This blue-capped round is not point
detonated. When it impacts, a small charge
pops it up to two meters into the air, where it
airbursts for additional effect against exposed
troops. The purchase DC given is for a box of 6
grenades.
Grenade, High Explosive Armor
Piercing (M38 HEAP)
This grenade can penetrate up to 7 cm of
homogenous steel with a burst radius of 5
meters. It is marked with a green cap.
Grenade, High Explosive
Fragmentation (M40 HEF)
The M40 is easily identified by its red plastic
cap. When it explodes, it spreads more than
300 fragments over a casualty radius of five
meters. In a pinch, it can be thrown by flipping
off its plastic cap and twisting the nose cap
clockwise giving it a five-second delay before
exploding. The purchase DC given is for a box
of 6 grenades.
Grenade, Starshell (M72A1)
Marked with an embossed letter "S" on its
head, the M72A1 is fired into air. Upon reaching
its maximum distance, it releases a parachute
and ignites, providing illumination of 50,000
candelas for approximately 45 seconds. During
that time, it provides a +5 equipment bonus to
Spot checks.
Grenade, White Phosphorous
Incendiary (M60 WPI)
This white-capped round contains a filler of
white phosphorus that can spread up to 15
meters after impact. Any target that takes
damage from a M60 Phosphorus grenade is
dealt an additional 1d6 points of fire damage in
the following round and risks catching on fire. In
addition, a WPI grenade creates a cloud of
smoke. On the round when it is thrown, a M60
fills the four squares around it with smoke. On
34 Aliens: Game Over
the following round, it fills all squares within 5
feet, and on the third round it fills all squares
within 15 feet. The smoke obscures all sight,
including the darkvision ability granted by night
vision goggles. Any creature within the area has
total concealment (attacks suffer a 50% miss
chance, and the attacker cant use sight to
locate the target). It disperses after 10 rounds,
though a moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses
the smoke in 4 rounds and a strong wind (21+
mph) disperses it in 1 round. The wealth DC
given is for a box of 6 grenades.
Mine, Anti-Armor (M862)
The M862 mine buries itself in the ground on
impact and is set off by pressure, vibration, or
magnetic induction.
Mine, Anti-Personnel (M760)
The M760 mine buries itself in the ground on
impact and is set off by pressure, vibration, or
magnetic induction.
Mine, Bounding (M5A3)
The M5A3 is a "smart" mine and launched
itself in the air upon detection of a target up to 2
m away. It spins and releases its ordinance in a
50-meter cone-shaped spray at the target. This
weapon requires 5 ranks of the Demolitions skill
to use safely (DC 15 to set the weapon up, but a
character can take 10 on this check if not under
fire).
Mine, Claymore (M20)
This mine incorporates its own active
sensors and can be set to scan very wide arcs.
This weapon requires 5 ranks of the Demolitions
skill to use safely (DC 15 to set the weapon up,
but a character can take 10 on this check if not
under fire).
Missile, AGM (204A TSAM)
The Threat Suppression Attack Missile
(TSAM) is a low-cost, self-protection weapon
designed to defend strikeships and dropships
against airborne missiles, early warning radar,
SAM sites, and anti-aircraft weaponry. Small,
short ranged and lightweight, the TSAM design
trades off threat suppression for high speed.
The TSAM takes no penalties due to range,
making it a much better long-range tank killer
than the Hellhound.
Missile, AGM (220C Hellhound II)
The Hellhound II is a multi-role tactical
missile designed for use against point targets
such as vehicles, armor, buildings and bunkers.
The weapon can be launched in two different
modes: the first allows the Heavy Weapons
Specialist to lock the missile's seeker onto a
target before launch; the second uses a grid
reference to search for a pre-designed target.
These weapons are +2 to hit against targets
on the ground, but 4 to hit against targets in the
air. This missile attacks with the Base Attack
Bonus of the firing character, and ignores the
first 20 Hardness of an object attacked. Against
live ground targets, this weapon has a blast
radius of 20 feet.
Missile, ASAT (XIM-28A Long
Lance)
The XIM-28A is a 5.6 m Anti-Satellite Missile
powered by a two-stage Lockmart LP-XII solid-
rocket booster. It works under its own internal
guidance.
The XIM-28A attacks with a +12 Base Attack
Bonus, and suffers no range penalties out to its
full range of 1,000 miles.
Missile, AIM (90E Headlock)
The AIM-90E is a short-ranged air-to-air
missile optimized for dogfight engagements.
The warhead consists of thirty-four explosives
darts, which are released by the missile as it
approaches the target.
The Headlock suffers full range penalties to
hit, but negates any of an aircrafts defense
bonus gained from speed. This missile attacks
with the Base Attack Bonus of the character
firing it.
Missile, SAM (HIM-78 Sprint)
The HIM-78 Sprint is a high-speed ground
launched space weapon designed to destroy
spacecraft and satellites in near orbit. It is
usually launched in clusters and contains two
stages.
The HIM-78 attacks with a +12 Base Attack
Bonus, and suffers no range penalties out to its
full range of 1,000 miles.
Missile, SAM (HIM-122 Lancer)
The HIM-122 Lancer provides anti-ballistic
missile defense. It launches with ten
maneuvering warheads, which it releases in the
final stage of its flight.
The HIM-122 suffers no range penalties, and
negates any defense bonus gained by an
airborne targets speed. This weapon suffers no
range penalties. This missile attacks with a Base
Attack Bonus of +8.
Missile, SAM (LIM-417 Phalanx)
The primary SAM in use, this missile has a
long range, capable of engaging aerospace craft
to the limits of the stratosphere. It employs a
three-stage booster for the launch and uses
radar, IR, optical, UV and jam homing to track
targets.
The Phalanx suffers no range penalties, and
negates any defense bonus gained by an
airborne targets speed. This missile attacks with
a Base Attack Bonus of +10.
Missile, SAM (SIM-118 Hornet)
The SIM-118 Hornet is a shoulder-launched
man-portable Surface to Air Missile (SAM)
capable of engaging targets up to 10 km. It can
acquire and track targets, allowing the operator
to fire at targets beyond visual range.
This shoulder fired anti-aircraft weapon
ignores the first 10 hardness of a vehicle or
object struck, and gains a +1 to hit against
airborne targets.
Rocket, HEAP (M18)
The M18 is an incendiary warhead intended
for target marking and for use against buildings
and light fortifications.
Rocket, HEF (M451)

Battledress Utility (BDU) Credit Card

Battledress utilities are two-piece, lightweight
polycotton coveralls with pockets secured by
silent fasteners. They are issued in a variety of
patterns, depending on the deployment to
temperate, desert, or jungle environments.
When worn in an appropriate setting, fatigues
grant a +2 bonus on Hide checks.
BDUs are also imprinted with high-
temperature dyes that break up the wearer's IR
signature. Against thermal detection alone, it
provides a +1 equipment bonus on Hide checks.
Bimex M3 Day/Night Goggles
Bimex M3 Day/Night Goggles use passive
light gathering to improve vision in near-dark
conditions. They grant the user the ability to see
in darkness, also called darkvisionbut
because of the restricted field of view and lack of
depth perception these goggles provide, they
impose a 4 penalty on all Spot and Search
checks made by someone wearing them.
Bimex goggles must have at least a little light
to operate. A cloudy night provides sufficient
ambient light, but a pitch-black cave or a sealed
room doesnt. For situations of total darkness,
the goggles come with an infrared illuminator
that, when switched on, operates like a flashlight
whose light is visible only to the wearer (or
anyone else wearing night vision goggles).
Bimex goggles reduce the range penalty for
Spot checks to 1 for every 50 feet (instead of
1 for every 10 feet). Using Bimex M3 goggles for
Spot checks takes five times as long as making
the check unaided. It includes a digital readout
that indicates the exact distance to the object on
which they are focused.
Every citizen carries a small plastic card for
identification and currency. Each card carries
the citizen's identification number and account
number. These cards can be hacked with a
Computer Use check (DC 25). Hacked cards
recognize the hacker as an authorized user.
FITR
FITR is a telepathine drug that induces a
sense of invulnerability and increased mental
strength. The recipient who takes the drug
receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws
against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale
bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls for
the next 5 rounds.
Ghillie Suit
The ultimate in camouflage, a ghillie suit is a
loose mesh overgarment covered in strips of
burlap in woodland colors, to which other
camouflaging elements can easily be added. A
figure under a ghillie suit is nearly impossible to
discern. Beneath the natural-fiber camouflage is
a suit made from radar-absorbent materials. It
also comes with a portable heat sink that
regulates the suit's thermal temperature.
A character wearing a ghillie suit with
appropriate coloration gains a +10 equipment
bonus on Hide checks. Against thermal
detection alone, it provides a +4 equipment
bonus on Hide checks. (The suits coloration can
be changed with a move action. However, the
bulky suit imposes a penalty of 4 on all

Individual Marine Pack (IMP)
The IMP is a lightweight medium pack
designed to carry up to 50 lb. of equipment. It is
attached to a carbon fiber A-frame that clips
onto armor. The pack is water repellant, but not
waterproof.
Intelligence Unit
This multi-purpose computer is about the
size of a briefcase. It contains all the
information necessary for a particular mission,
including data on important locations and
personnel. It can scan files for relevant
information about people and places, and even
has the ability to scan fingerprints. An
Intelligence Unit provides users with a +2
equipment bonus on appropriate ability or skill
checks related to information the device has
stored (usually Knowledge checks).
M10 Pattern Ballistic Helmet
The M10 pattern ballistic helmet incorporates
a tactical camera, audio microphone, IFF
transmitter and a PRC 489/4 receiver/transmitter
system. The camera can be used to record up
to eight hours of video and audio activity. The
receiver/transmitter has a range of 15 miles.
Additionally, the M10 mounts a passive
infrared sight, which flips down over the right
eye. This sight projects IR images from the
thermal imaging system built into the camera.
The grants a +1 equipment bonus on all attack
rolls made against targets no farther than 30 feet

Metal Detector Glove
A glove the Marines on the USM Auriga use
as metal detectors. They run them along the
members of The Betty upon their arrival on the
Auriga to make sure they aren't carrying
weapons, as none are allowed onboard. It
provides a +5 equipment bonus to Search
checks.
Motion Tracker
A sonar unit combined with passive air
density sensors, the Motion Tracker can indicate
the position, size, and speed of any object within
180 feet. It can determine the size of the object
down to a minimum diameter of 6 inches. It
provides a +5 equipment bonus to all Spot
checks for any moving object within range.
38 Aliens: Game Over
Pheromone Collar
Dr. Mayakovsky discovered that Aliens
identify each other through pheromones. He
realized that harvested Alien pheromones could
be used to safely navigate amongst Alien hives.
The truth is that the collars are not 100%
effective, so only the truly desperate dare to use
them. Pheromone collars are effective in a
three-meter radius and last for 3 hours. While
worn, the collars bestow a +10 equipment bonus
to Hide checks. These collars allow the wearer
to make an opposed check against an Alien's
Spot or Survival rolls for purposes of remaining
undetected. Pheromone collars bestow a +10
bonus to Disguise checks for Alien synthetics
only. While wearing the collar, the wearer must
move slowly any sudden movements
(including combat) immediately nullify the effects
for that Alien hive.
Portable Welder
This small tool is used for either welding or
cutting metal. It can cut through 60 inches of
hardness 1 material each round. For sturdier
materials, divide 60 by the material's hardness
to determine the number of inches the welder
can cut through each round.
Pressure Suit (IRC Mk. 35)
Pressure suits are designed for operations
on planets with hostile atmospheres or extreme
temperatures, including deep space. They have
durable thermal control systems that can
withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees
Fahrenheit. A pressure suit is designed to
support the wearer for up to 8 hours, but can last
up to 24 hours in an emergency.
Space Suit (IRC Mk. 50)
This suit consists of an inner thermal
regulation garment and two outer layers of tight-
fitting elastic fabric with an airtight covering to
compress the wearer's body against the effects
of low pressure. No decompression is necessary
when donning or removing the suit. The suit
provides no protection against high pressure.
TNR Lamp
Mounted on the M3 armored vest, this high
powered halogen white-light lamp projects a
bright beam 100 feet long and 50 feet across at
its end. It runs off a rechargeable battery and
incorporates a carrying handle so that it may be
detached and used as a hand lamp.
Xeno-Zip
Xeno-Zip was originally marketed as a
legitimate "upper" that made its citizens happy
and active. But some people have an extreme
reaction to it, becoming mass murdering killing
machines. To that end, Xeno-Zip was pulled off
the market and manufactured solely for military
use, guaranteeing that side-effects which were
an anomaly happen to anyone taking the drug.
Xeno-Zip is primarily distributed in pill form.
Anyone consuming Xeno-Zip becomes a
virtual fighting machine stronger, tougher,
faster, and more skilled in combat. The person's
mind-set changes so that he relishes combat
and cant use any advanced skills.
The recipient gains a +4 enhancement bonus
to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, a +4
natural armor bonus to AC, a +5 competence
bonus on Fortitude saves, and proficiency with
all simple and martial weapons. His base attack
bonus equals his character level (which may
give him multiple attacks).
While under the effects of Xeno-Zip, a
character cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-,
or Intelligence-based skills (except for Balance,
Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the
Concentration skill, or any abilities that require
patience or concentration. He can use any feat
he has except Combat Expertise and item
creation feats. The fit of rage lasts for a number
of rounds equal to 3 + the characters (newly
improved) Constitution modifier. At the end of
the rage, the character loses the rage modifiers
and restrictions and becomes fatigued (2
penalty to Strength, 2 penalty to Dexterity, cant
charge or run) for the duration of the current
encounter.

All-Terrain Vehicle (M570) Armored Personnel Carrier (M577)

This all-terrain transport is the land-based
prime mover, with powerloaders often used on
site to offload cargoes. The M-570 can carry 8
soldiers, or 2,000 lbs of cargo, or be converted
into an ambulance capable of carrying four
stretchers and a two-man medical crew.
The M577 Armored Personnel Carrier is a
lightweight, mobile, well-armed and inexpensive
APC capable of being transported in the UD-4L
Dropship. Its armor protection can deflect small
arms fire, fragmentation, and low-velocity armor
piercing ammunition. It is operated by the driver
and section commander and has space for 12

and supplies for up to three days of combat.

40 Aliens: Game Over

Artillery (M292)
The M292 is a 38,000 kg armored tracked
vehicle with a single 41-caliber 158 mm rail gun.
It carries 78 rounds, which are autoloaded into
the gun chamber.
The vehicle has two weapons systems, the
rail gun itself (40 rounds), and a machinegun for
self-protection that carries 1,000 rounds.
The crew of the M292 is insulated against all
forms of attack, gaining a +10 to any NBC check
to resist a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack.
The computer assisted targeting of the M292
system begins all Indirect Fire attacks made by
the crew at 5, instead of the usual 10.
The crew of the M292 sees through
periscopes, which are fitted with night vision
equipment, granting darkvision to a range of 200
feet, and the vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated communications system granting a
+4 on all Communication Operations skill
checks.
Assault Carrier (Okinawa)
Carrier-based fighters and torpedo bombers are
a critical component of the USMC's strategy.
These titans are truly massive and extremely
sophisticated vessels, providing a mobile base
of operations for several squadrons. Given their
size, carriers are typically lightly armed and
armored. Assault carriers are armed with two
heavy phased plasma cannons and two missile
bays. Assault carriers have a Jump Value of 2.
Assault Ship (Conestoga)
The Conestoga class vessels were originally
designed as troop and logistic transports with a
limited defensive capability. However, this role
has evolved over the years from a fleet prime
mover to that of a light assault ship with
secondary responsibilities for space control and
orbital bombardment support. Of the 36
Conestogas built, 27 remain in service.
Over 385 meters in length and massing
some 78,000 metric tons, the Conestogas are
designed to an 8-17-0 layout, an asymmetrical
configuration that offers the optimum cargo
capacity within a compact and well-armored hull.
It has both Jump (Jump Value 3) and
Displacement drives.
For its main armament, the Conestoga
carries eight XIM-28A Long Lance ASAT
missiles in its dorsal launch bay. The XIM-28A
is a 5.6 m Anti-Satellite Missile powered by a
two-stage Lockmart LP-XII solid-rocket booster.
It works under its own internal guidance.
Secondary armament consists of a pair of
800 MeV turboalternator powered Neutral
Particle Beam weapons, firing into the starship's
forward cone, each capable of disabling a
target's electronics and instrumentation at
ranges up to 100,000 km. Sufficient deuterium
exists for up to 230 seconds of firing.
Short-range armament consists of a dorsal
and ventral turret, each mounting twin heavy
machineguns that fire kinetic ammunition at
velocities over 12 km per second. Their
practical range is 100 km.
The port and starboard laser turrets provide
point defense for the Conestogas. These
mounts 80 mw free-electron lasers capable of
vaporizing small targets such as railgun rounds,
or disabling incoming missiles and fighters at
ranges up to 20km.
A ventral dispenser can deliver 60 orbital
fragmentation mines for kinetic kills against low-
orbiting spacecraft, while an aft bay is equipped
to launch up to twenty decoy ballutes and two
maneuvering decoy drones against incoming
enemy spacecraft.
A main magazine forward of the shuttle
launch bay stores the orbital bombardment
ordinance. The Conestoga carries 80 free-fall
guided reentry vehicles capable of delivering
nuclear warheads, kinetic penetrators, or
decoys.
The Conestoga has capacious cargo
hangars. These hangars have a capacity of 1.2
million cubic meters. Below the cargo bay is a
dedicated shuttle/dropship hangar and launch
bay, with the capacity to handle up to four
shuttles at any one time.
The Conestoga is completely automated, but
can accommodate up to 90 crewmen. Facilities
exist for installing up to 2,000 more crew in the
cargo hangars for transportation of troops.
Automobile
Automobiles are powered electrically. They
are not designed for long-distance travel. A
standard automobile can carry up to 6 people
and has a cruising speed of 40 miles per hour.
They have a range of 200 miles between
charging.
Aliens: Game Over - 41
Cycle
Another common vehicle is the cycle. It can
carry one or two people and reaches speeds of
up to 60 miles per hour. It has a range of 150
miles.
Dropship (UD-4L Cheyenne Utility)
The UD-4L Dropship is an aerospace
capable ship and tactical transport that can lift.
heavy payloads up to 16,000 kg. It can attain
orbit under its own power from unprepared
landing sites because of its vertical take-off
(VTOL) capability, which makes it more flexible
than other craft.
The UD-4L has several defensive systems,
including an acquisition jamming suite (AJS), fire
control jamming suite (FCJS), missile defense
system (MDS) and decoy dispenser system
(DDS).
The Dropship can also operate as a close-
support gunship by using its own internal gun
and deploying weapons pods and hardpoints for
rockets and missiles. The UD-4L's traditional
armament includes a nose-mounted Republic
Electric RE700 20mm Gatling gun, two LAU-
190/A rocket launchers with an armament of 32
M451 rockets, two Mk. 88 SGW rockets, 8 Mk.
10 Zeus rockets, six AGM-220C Hellhound
missiles, 2 AIM-90E Headlock missiles, and 2
AGM-204A TSAMs.
Emergency Escape Vehicle
(Bodenwerke Gemeinschift Type
337)
This emergency escape vehicle (EEV) is a
small escape vessel capable of carrying up to
five people. It is 13.2 meters long with an l-
shaped configuration.
EEVs are kept on a permanent 30-second
standby. When prepared for launch, the crew's
hypersleep capsules are moved via transport
tubes to the escape hatches where they are
loaded into the EEV. Once the capsules are
secure and hooked up to the life support system,
the EEV initiates its launch program. The entire
evacuation procedure takes 45 seconds.
Once clear of the mother ship, the EEV turns
on its distress and locator beacon and scans the
immediate sector of space for a habitable
landing site. The crew is kept in hibernation
because of the EEV's limited life support
capacity and will be awakened by the computer
42 Aliens: Game Over
when rescue is imminent. The EEV has a Jump
Value of 1.
Jet Rescue
The jet rescue technology was developed
after the World Trade Center was attacked in
2001 and then again in 2024. It is handheld
controlled. The ship is designed for high-rise fire
rescue, including a reflexive net that springs out
to catch a human being without slicing them to
ribbons from the impact. It can move at Mach 2.
Shuttle, Light (Lockmart Starcub)
This shuttle, massing 48 metric tons, is
configured around a single pressure cabin, with
storage space and lockers for supplies. There
are three crew stations.
Shuttle, Heavy (CS-14 Briareos)
The CS-14 Briareos is one of the prime
movers of Marine armor in the field besides the
UD-4 Cheyenne dropship.
Missile Launcher (M201 MLRS)
The M201 Multiple Launcher Rocket System
is the heaviest artillery in Marine service. It
comprises a tracked transporter carrying eight
250 mm rockets in large launch bins, which may
be either anti-aircraft or anti-armor missiles. The
automated launch system allows these missiles
to be fired at semi-automatic speed. The
onboard computer grants the crew a +4 attack
bonus with all missile attacks.
The crew of the MLRS sees through
periscopes, which are fitted with night vision
equipment, granting darkvision to a range of 200
feet, and the vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated communications system granting a
+4 on all Communication Operations skill
checks.
All MLRS are amphibious, capable of
reaching speeds of 25(2) in water. The MLRS
provides full cover for crew and passengers.
Tank, Heavy (M40 Ridgway)
nd
One battalion, the 2 (attached the 1
st
Marine Division) has been upgraded with the
M40 Ridgway heavy tank, which had previously
only seen service in the Army. The M40 has the
ability to fire 115 mm shells at a rate of 60 rpm,
deliver particulate barrier smoke, scatterable
mines, and support fire from its integral 60 mm
mortars. It can even defend against aerospace
craft and incoming missiles with its 20 KW
phase plasma point defense gun.
It takes a full-round action to enter a tank and
another full-round action to start it moving. The
Ridgway provides full cover to its occupants.
This vehicle comes equipped with a heavy tank
cannon and a heavy phased plasma cannon,
both mounted in full turrets.
Tank, Medium (M22A3 Jackson)
The six tank battalions of the Marines rely
heavily on medium armor like the Jackson tank.
It takes a full-round action to enter a tank and
another full-round action to start it moving. The
Jackson provides full cover to its occupants.
This vehicle comes equipped with a medium
tank cannon and a medium plasma cannon,
both mounted in full turrets.
Tank, Light (M34A2 Longstreet)
Along with the Jackson, the Longstreet is the
Marine Corps' light tank. It takes a full-round
action to enter a tank and another full-round
action to start it moving. The Longstreet
provides full cover to its occupants. This vehicle
comes equipped with a light tank cannon and a
light phased plasma cannon, both mounted in
full turrets.
Tractor (Daihotai)
This series of tractor is all based around the
same 8 x8 wheeled layout, with a 6.59-meter
wheelbase and a track of 5.86 meters. Road
speeds for the Daihotai are around 110 km/hour.
The cabin is fully enclosed and includes a
utilitarian space that incorporates life support
capabilities. Forward of the central cabin is the
drier's cab, which can double as an airlock while
traveling in hazardous environments. At the rear
of the tractor is a workstation cab, which
duplicates the driving controls of the forward
cab, allowing the tractor to drive as effectively
backwards as it does forwards. It also controls
all specialist tools and attachments mounted on
the tractor. Options for attachments include
mechanical diggers, cutters, crane bore drills,
core samplers, spring stampers, welders,
waldoes, and bulldozer blades. In non-ideal
climates, it has a one-way travel range of 300
miles and cam support four people for four
weeks. It has a range of 800 miles and can
support its crew of four for 12 weeks on a world
where the air is breathable.
Transport (Lockmart CM-88B
Bison)
Weighing 63,000 metric tons, the Lockmart is
designed to a 6-10-4 layout with three pressured
decks and four main cargo holds. It has Jump
(Jump Value 5) and Displacement drives. The
life systems comprises three decks, including
the bridge, crew quarters and mess areas,
science station, CPU module, medical bay, four
main cargo bays, stores and engineering
stations. It only requires a crew of seven to

Apone, Aliens

The Aerospace Pilot thinks he is the
universes gift to piloting. For the most part hes
correct. Aerospace Pilots tend to be short-lived,
romantic characters, which are remembered
much longer than they live. Aerospace Pilots are
not freighter captains, nor are they interested in
just getting safely from place to place. These
characters seek out situations where they test
their skill, always seeking to push the outside of
the envelope. Aerospace officers go to the
Aerospace schools at Gateway Station or
Kennedy, ASFB, FL.
The Aerospace Wing is divided into three
Aerospace Groups. The Drop Group exists
exclusively of dropships to operate with the
Marine ground teams. There are approximately
200 dropships in each Wing Drop Group.
The Tactical Group consists of squadrons
dedicated to counter-air, attack, and
reconnaissance missions. The average Wing
has six to eight squadrons assigned to the
Tactical Group, consisting mostly of AD-19C/D
Bearcat strikeships, AD-17A Cougar strikeships,
UD-4 Cheyenne gunships, and UD-22 Navaho
gunships.
Lastly, the Support Group consists of
transports and specialist craft dedicated to
highly specialized missions, like search and
rescue. The majority of ships used for these
missions include the UD-4 Cheyenne and the
CS-14 Briareos heavy lift shuttle.

At 8th level, an Aerospace Pilot can continue
to operate a starship even after it has been
reduced to negative hit points and has begun
breaking apart. The ship may take one move
action or one attack action each round.
However, the ship cannot be repaired and
continues to lose 1 hit point per round, exploding
once it reaches its destruction threshold. The
Aerospace Pilot and all other personnel aboard
the ship are considered shaken, taking a 2
penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill
checks.

during combat, the Corporate Representative
can talk down a single opponent within 15 feet of
his or her position or otherwise able to hear the
Corporate Representatives voice. The target
must be able to understand the Corporate
Representative. That opponent immediately
stops fighting and reverts to an indifferent
attitude regarding the Corporate Representative
and the situation in general. Any hostile action
by the Corporate Representative or by one of
the Corporate Representatives allies directed at
the opponent allows the opponent to act as he
or she sees fit.
To initiate this talent, the Corporate
Representative must spend a full-round action
talking to his or her opponent. The opponent
makes a Will saving throw. The DC is equal to
10 + Corporate Representatives class level +
Corporate Representatives Charisma bonus. If
the save fails, the opponent stops fighting. If the
save succeeds, the opponent continues as
normal.
At 7th level, a Corporate Representative can
talk down a number of opponents equal to his or
her Charisma bonus within 15 feet of his or her
position or within 15 feet of a television, radio, or
telephone broadcasting the Corporate
Representatives message.
At 10th level, the range extends to 30 feet
and covers all opponents who can hear and
understand the Corporate Representatives
voice.
No Sweat
Whenever a Corporate Representative
spends 1 action point to improve the result of a
die roll, he or she rolls an additional 1d6. The
Corporate Representative can then select the
highest die roll to add to his or her d20 roll.
Sow Distrust
The Corporate Representative can turn one
character against another. The Corporate
Representative must spend a full-round action
and know the name of the character he or she is
attempting to persuade as well as the name of
the character toward whom the targets distrust
will be directed. The target must be able to hear
and understand the Corporate Representative.
The target makes a Will save. The DC is
equal to 10 + Corporate Representatives class
level + Corporate Representatives Charisma
bonus. If the target fails the save, his or her
attitude toward the other designated character
worsens by one step: helpful turns to friendly,
friendly to indifferent, indifferent to unfriendly,
unfriendly to hostile (see the Diplomacy skill).
The target makes a Will save whenever the
Corporate Representative uses this talent
against him or her. As long as the target
continues to fail the Will save, the Corporate
Representative can continue taking full-round
actions to worsen the targets attitude toward a
designated character. When the targets attitude
drops to hostile, he or she attacks the
designated character.
A successful Will save doesnt restore
previous attitude shifts, but it does render the
target immune for 24 hours to further attempts
by the Corporate Representative to sow distrust.
The Corporate Representative CAN use this
talent on his or her allies.

The Engineer is a specialist in mechanical
sciences. Engineers are the most valued
member of any colony, the difference between
life and death when a vital piece of equipment
breaks down, and even more importantly, the
person who knows how to keep all the vital
systems of a colony properly maintained so that
they do not break down in the first place.

a +3 equipment bonus (instead of the usual +2
equipment bonus) on all Repair checks made to
fix mechanical devices and a +1 equipment
bonus on all Craft (mechanical) and Craft
(structural) checks.
Quick Craft
At 2nd level, an engineer learns how to craft
ordinary scratch-built electronic, mechanical,
and structural objects more quickly than normal.
When using the Craft (electronic), Craft
(mechanical), or Craft (structural) skill to build an
ordinary scratch-built item, the Engineer reduces
the building time by one-quarter.
At 5th level, the Engineer reduces the
building time of ordinary objects and mastercraft
objects by half.
Superior Repair
At 2nd level, an Engineer learns improved
ways of repairing robots, vehicles, mecha,
starships, and cybernetic attachments.
An Engineer with a mechanical tool kit and
an appropriate facility (a workshop, garage, or
hangar) can repair damage to a robot, vehicle,
mecha, starship, or cybernetic attachment.
(Without a mechanical tool kit, the Engineer
takes a 4 penalty on the Repair check.) With 1
hour of work, the engineer can restore a number
of hit points based on his Repair check result, as
shown in Table: Superior Repair. If damage
remains, the Engineer may continue to make
repairs for as many hours as needed to fully
repair the damaged robot, vehicle, mecha,
starship, or cybernetic attachment.
Repair Check Result Damage Repaired
Less than 20 None
2029 2d6 + Engineer class level
3039 3d6 + Engineer class level

Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Engineer gets a
bonus feat. The bonus feat must be selected
from the following list, and the Engineer must
meet all the prerequisites of the feat to select it.
Aircraft Operation (spacecraft), Builder,
Cautious, Gearhead, Mastercrafter, Salvage,
Surface Vehicle Operation, Vehicle Expert,
Zero-G Training.
Improve Kit (+2)
At 4th level, the Engineer can assemble
mastercraft (+2) electrical and mechanical tool
kits. This ability works as the 1st-level improve
kit class feature, except the equipment bonuses
improve by an additional +1.
Reconfigure Weapon
At 4th level, an Engineer can reconfigure a
melee or ranged weapon, improving one aspect
of it. Reconfiguring a weapon requires 1 hour of
work and a successful Repair check (DC 20);
reconfiguring a mastercraft weapon is slightly
harder (DC 20 + the weapons mastercraft
bonus feature). An Engineer may take 10 or take
20 on this check.
The reconfiguration imposes a 1 penalty on
attack rolls made with the weapon but grants
one of the following benefits indefinitely:
Changed Rate of Fire: The reconfiguration
changes the weapons rate of fire. A
semiautomatic-only weapon switches to an
automatic-only weapon, or vice versa. This
benefit applies only to a ranged weapon with
either a semiautomatic or automatic fire setting.
Greater Ammo Capacity: The reconfigured
weapon can hold 50% more ammunition than
normal. This benefit applies only to weapons
that take ammunition.
Greater Concealment: The reconfiguration
grants a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks
made to conceal the reconfigured weapon.
Greater Range Increment: The reconfigured
weapons range increment increases by 10 feet.
This benefit applies only to weapons with range
increments.
Signature Shooter: The weapon is
reconfigured for a single individuals use only
and is treated as a unique exotic weapon.
Anyone else who uses the weapon takes a 4
nonproficient penalty on attack rolls.
Weapons can be reconfigured multiple times;
each time a weapon is reconfigured, it imparts a
new benefit. Undoing an Engineers weapon
reconfiguration requires 1 hour and a successful
Disable Device check (DC 20 + the Engineers
class level).
Sabotage
At 4th level and beyond, the Engineer can
sabotage an electrical or mechanical object so
that it operates poorly. The Engineer must
succeed on a Disable Device check (DC 20) to
accomplish the downgrade, and sabotaging a
mastercraft object is slightly harder (DC 20 + the
mastercraft objects bonus feature). Noticing the
Engineers handiwork without first testing the
sabotaged device requires a successful Search
Aliens: Game Over - 51
check (DC = the Engineers Disable Device
check result). Fixing the sabotaged item requires
a successful Repair.
Sabotage Device: As a full-round action, the
Engineer can reconfigure a device with electrical
or mechanical components so that anyone who
uses it suffers a penalty equal to the Engineers
class level on skill checks made to use the
device.
Sabotage Weapon: As a full-round action,
the Engineer can sabotage a weapon so that it
misfires or breaks the next time it is used. A
sabotaged weapon cannot be used effectively
until repaired. This use of sabotage also applies
to vehicle and starship weapons.
Craft XP Reserve
Starting at 5th level, an Engineer with the
Mastercrafter feat can build mastercraft
electronic and mechanical devices without
investing as much of himself in the process.
At 5th level and every level thereafter, an
Engineer gains a special reserve of experience
points equal to 100 his Engineer class level.
These extra experience points are separate from
experience gained through level advancement
and can only be used to make mastercraft items;
they do not count toward level gain.
An Engineer must spend the extra
experience points he gains at each level, for
when the Engineer gains a level, he loses any
unspent experience points in his reserve.
Improve Kit (+3)
At 7th level, the Engineer can assemble
mastercraft (+3) electrical and mechanical tool
kits. This ability works as the 4th-level improve
kit class feature, except the equipment bonuses
improve by an additional +1.
Quick Fix
At 7th level, the Engineer can repair a
mechanical or electrical device in half the normal
time; see the Repair skill description for normal
52 Aliens: Game Over
repair times. However, cutting the repair time
increases the Repair check DC by 5.
Weapon Upgrade
At 8th level, an Engineer can upgrade
handheld or robot-installed weapons, as well as
weapon systems aboard vehicles, mecha, or
starships.
Handheld/Robot Weapon Upgrade DC
Weapon also dazes target for 1 round 25
Weapon also knocks target prone 30
Weapon leaves target shaken for 1d4 rounds 35
Weapon also stuns target for 1d4 rounds 40
Vehicle/Mecha/Starship Weapon Upgrade DC
Weapon deals an extra two dice of damage 25
Weapon ignores 5 points of targets hardness/DR 30
Weapons critical hit multiplier increases by 1 35
Weapon ignores 10 points of targets hardness/DR 40
The Engineer must spend 1 hour tinkering
with the weapon, after which he must succeed at
a Craft (mechanical) check. The DC varies
depending on how the weapon is modified, as
shown in Table: Weapon Upgrade. If the skill
check fails, the attempt to modify the weapon
also fails, although the Engineer may try again.
(The engineer may take 20 on the skill check,
but the upgrade takes 20 hours to complete.) An
upgraded weapon has a 10% chance of
breaking after each time it is used; it cannot be
used again until repaired, and repairing it
requires 1 hour and a successful Repair check
(DC 40).
Unflustered
A 10th-level Engineer can perform
complicated tasks without provoking attacks of
opportunity from adjacent foes.
During any round in which the Engineer uses
the Computer Use, Craft, Demolitions, Disable
Device, or Repair skill, he can first make a
Concentration check (DC 15) to use the desired
skill without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Making the Concentration check doesnt cost the
Engineer an action. He may take 10 on the
Concentration check, but he cannot take 20.

Contact
A Guerilla Warfare Specialist cultivates
associates and informants. Each time the
Guerilla Warfare Specialist gains a contact, the
GM should develop a supporting character to
represent the contact. The player can suggest
the type of contact his or her character wants to
gain, but the contact must be an ordinary
character, not a heroic character.
A contact will not accompany a Guerilla
Warfare Specialist on missions or risk his or her
life. A contact can, however, provide information
or render a service (make a specific skill check
on the Guerilla Warfare Specialists behalf).
The Guerilla Warfare Specialist gains a low-
level contact, mid-level contact, or high-level
contact.
The Guerilla Warfare Specialist cant call on
the same contact more than once in a week, and
when he or she does call on a contact,
compensation may be required for the
assistance the contact renders. In general, a
professional associate wont be compensated
monetarily, but instead will consider that the
Guerilla Warfare Specialist owes him or her a
favor. Contacts with underworld or street
connections usually demand monetary
compensation for the services they render, and
experts in the use of skills normally want to be
paid for the services they provide.
For underworld or street contacts, this
expense is represented by a Wealth check
against a purchase DC of 10 for the low-level
contact, 15 for the mid-level contact, or 20 for
the high-level contact. For skilled experts, the
purchase DC is 10 + the ranks the expert has in
the appropriate skill.
Bonus Feats
54 Aliens: Game Over

feat. The bonus feat must be selected from the
following list, and the Guerilla Warfare Specialist
must meet all the prerequisites of the feat to
select it.
Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Alertness,
Armor Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency
(medium), Brawl, Defensive Martial Arts, Dodge,
Double Tap, Educated, Knockout Punch,
Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot.
Non-Lethal Force
A Guerilla Warfare Specialist becomes adept
at using non-lethal force to subdue an opponent.
From this point on, he or she can deal non-lethal
damage with a weapon that normally deals
lethal damage (if he or she so chooses) without
taking the normal 4 penalty on the attack roll.
Discern Lie
A Guerilla Warfare Specialist develops the
ability to gauge whether another character is
telling the truth by reading facial expressions
and interpreting body language. The Guerilla
Warfare Specialist must be able to see and hear
(but not necessarily understand) the individual
under scrutiny.
With a successful Sense Motive check
opposed by the subjects Bluff check result or
against DC 10 (whichever is greater), the
Guerilla Warfare Specialist can tell whether the
subject is deliberately and knowingly speaking a
lie. This ability doesnt reveal the truth, uncover
unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal
omissions in information.
Without a Trace
When a Guerilla Warfare Specialist uses any
of the following skills: Balance, Climb, Disable
Device, Escape Artist, Hide, Move Silently, and
Sleight of Hand, those using Investigate, Listen,
Search, or Spot to detect the Guerilla Warfare
Specialists activity take a 4 penalty.

Hazardous Atmosphere and Radiation

Sweep
An Intelligence Specialist knows how to size
up an area and get the lay of the land in a single
sweep of his or her eyes. This sweep provides a
+4 circumstance bonus on Spot checks and
covers an area out to 30 feet away from the
Intelligence Specialist (but not behind him or

must be selected from the following list, and the

Stealthy.
Improved Evasion
If an Intelligence Specialist of 4th level or
higher is exposed to any effect that normally
allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving
throw for half damage, the Intelligence Specialist
suffers no damage if he or she makes a
successful saving throw and only half damage
on a failed save. Improved evasion can only be
used when wearing light armor or no armor.
For an Intelligence Specialist who does not
have evasion (see the Fast hero class
description), improved evasion counts as
evasion for the purpose of meeting the
prerequisites on the Fast heros defensive talent
tree.
Skill Mastery
At 5th level, an Intelligence Specialist selects
a number of skills from his or her class list equal
to 3 + his or her Intelligence modifier. When

At 7th level, an Intelligence Specialists
attacks with improvised weapons deal more
damage. The Intelligence Specialist treats an
improvised weapon as one size category larger
than it is for the purpose of determining the
damage it deals.
Improved Sweep
At 8th level, an Intelligence Specialists ability
to get the lay of the land improves. Now the
Intelligence Specialist not only spots potential
perils with a successful check, he or she can
determine the relative strength of these dangers.
A successful check relates the dangers strength
compared to the Intelligence Specialist: stronger
(higher level or Hit Dice), on par (same level or
HD), or weaker (lower level or HD).

At 10th level, when an Intelligence Specialist
uses any of the following skills: Balance, Climb,

The Guerilla Warfare Specialist goes in
before the Marines arrive. The Intelligence
Specialist ranges far from the battlefield, up to
his eyeballs in political intrigue. But the Recon
Specialist goes in while the fighting's hot and
heavy. He performs surveillance, calls in air
strikes, and otherwise acts as an advance scout
for other Marines.
Recon Specialists train for "special
operations," a term covering many missions,
including deep penetration reconnaissance,
raids and demolitions, assassination, the training
of partisans and guerillas and rescue operations.
Recon Specialists have to operate in all
environments and are given extensive training in
underwater, deep space, and hostile planetary
environments.
Usually operating in autonomous four man
teams, the Recon Specialist's job is to hide in
the heart of enemy territory, supplying vital
information that remote technology cannot.
Most Recon Specialists are inserted by
orbital drop. While extremely stealthy, it is also
a very risky form of insertion: the Marine is
placed inside a small capsule, which makes a
ballistic reentry. At low altitude, the drogue shoot
slows the capsule, allowing the Recon Specialist
to eject and unfold a parafoil to glide to the
landing zone.

 SPACE TRAVEL
"Earth, man. What a shithole."
Humanity has spread like a disease to the
rest of the universe, terraforming, colonizing,
and stripping planets for their own purposes,
only to pull up and move on. Most planets have
been disappointing few are made from human
habitation. Although dangerous life forms have
been encountered, none of them are intelligent
enough to pose a threat that mines and sentry
guns can't handle. So far
How It Works
There are two kinds of drives that power
spacecraft: Displacement Drives and Jump
Drives.
Displacement Drives displace the volume of
space directly in front of a spacecraft and drawn
the ship forward. It is a reactionless process,
capable of generating hundreds of G's of
acceleration. Theoretically, the maximum speed
of such a drive is the speed of light. In reality,
the massive amounts of energy consumed make
such a speed impossible. Most drives equipped
with Displacement Drives move at one-third the
speed of light as a result. As a result, very fast
ships have massive engines and little room for a
crew. The majority of ships have Displacement
Drives only and are restricted to their local
systems.
Jump Drives, on the other hand, build on the
reaction of Displacement Drives. It can be
activated when the spacecraft reaches one-fifth
the speed of light. Instead of distorting space,
the Jump Drive punches through it, allowing the
ship to enter hyperspace and emerge into
normal space several light years away. The
jump takes approximately 24 hours. Upon
arrival, the Jump Drive must recharge for six
days. During the six-day period, both Drives are
utterly inactive and very vulnerable to attack.
Jump Drives require accurate navigation
coordinates. The military had this knowledge
first, but Corporations eventually begged,
borrowed, and stole the information. In addition,
automated probes can be sent toward a star. If
it reaches the star's gravity well, the probe has
time to recharge its drives and return, feeding
the coordinates to their owners. This is a very
72 Aliens: Game Over
--Johner, Alien Resurrection
imprecise and costly process probes that are
off by a few coordinates can be billions of miles
off target.
All Jump Drives have a Jump Value ranging
from 1 to 5. For each Jump Value, the ship can
Jump 5 light years. In the Planet descriptions
below, all distances are given in the number of 5
light year Jumps necessary to cover the
distance. Thus, a ship with a Jump Value of 5
can cover a distance of 50 light years (or a Jump
Value of 10) with two jumps.
Spacecraft undergo considerable strain as a
result of Displacement and Jump travel. They
can only be serviced at bases, and each ship
takes approximately one month to maintain.
Most ships require service after 25 Jumps.
Pushing a ship further requires a Pilot check
(DC = 10 + # of weeks beyond 25).
If the Pilot check fails by 5, it is stranded. The
Drive used at the time (Displacement or Jump)
fails and cannot be repaired.
If the Pilot check fails by 10, it is powerless.
The vessel cannot use Jump or Displacement
Drives and can only support emergency life
support.
If the Pilot check fails by 11 or more, the ship
explodes in 1d20 rounds.
Landing on Planets
Landing on a planet with an aerodynamic
craft requires a piloting check of 20, minus the
size of the planet (the larger the planet is, the
more likely a flat stretch of ground suitable for a
landing field will be discovered), minus the AS.
Unless there are special conditions on the
planet, such as a tumultuous atmosphere or a
storm system that make the landing difficult, the
pilot can take 10 on this check.
Sometimes a ship will crash while landing. If
a ship that isnt aerodynamic is forced to land, a
crash landing is the only kind of landing it can
make. When a ship makes a crash landing, it
takes damage based on its size as follows:
Colossal Ships take 16d6 Hull Points,
Gargantuan Ships 12d6, Huge Ships 9d6, Large
6d6, Medium 6d6, Small 5d6, Tiny 4d6, and
Diminutive 3d6. A Ship also suffers 1-6 Critical
Hits, one of which is always a Major Hull critical
from a crash landing. A Piloting check of 25
reduces the damage and number of criticals by
half.
Planets
The Marine Corps has conducted military
operations on more than two-dozen worlds and
deployed to trouble spots on many more.
Regardless of the temperature, climate, or
atmospheric conditions, Marines have to be
ready to fight.
Size: A planet's Size Rating is equal to its
radius in kilometers divided by 1,000. It takes a
ship a number of minutes equal to the planets
size, minus one minute per five points of the
ships Acceleration, to clear the atmosphere of a
planet. An aerodynamic ship, fighting an
opponent whose ship is not aerodynamic, is
unlikely to want to leave the atmosphere of any
planet. The size of a planet also determines its
gravity type.
Heavy gravity causes Balance, Climb,
Jump, Ride, Swim, and Tumble checks incur a
2 circumstance penalty, as do all attack rolls. All
item weights are effectively doubled, which
might affect a characters speed. Weapon
ranges are halved. A characters Strength and
Dexterity scores are not affected. Characters
who fall on a heavy gravity plane take 1d10
points of damage for each 10 feet fallen, to a
maximum of 20d10 points of damage.
Light gravity causes creatures to find that
they can lift more, but their movements tend to
be ungainly. Characters on a planet with the
light gravity trait take a 2 circumstance penalty
on attack rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and
Tumble checks. All items weigh half as much.
Weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
Strength and Dexterity dont change as a
result of light gravity, but what you can do with
such scores does change. These advantages
apply to travelers from other planes as well as
natives.
Falling characters on a light gravity plane
take 1d4 points of damage for each 10 feet of
the fall (maximum 20d4).
No gravity causes individuals on a planet
with this trait to merely float in space, unless
other resources are available to provide a
direction for gravitys pull. Characters without the
Zero-G feat move at 1/4 Speed, suffer -6 to
Attack and Skill checks, modified by their Dex
Modifier. Also, if the character is using a weapon
with a Recoil Rating, he must make a Reflex
Save each round he attacks with that weapon
(DC 15, modified by the weapons Recoil), or be
considered prone, floating away in a random
direction each round until he is able to either
grab onto a solid object or make a Balance
check (DC as above +5) to right himself. Also, if
the character is forced to make a Reflex save for
any reason and fails, he suffers the above result.
Atmospheric Standard: The Atmospheric
Standard (AS) is the practical measure the
Marine Corps uses to determine how a Marine
will perform under different planetary conditions.
The Atmospheric Standard for Earth is 1.
An AS of 1 is what all terraformers aspire to.
To that end, cone-shaped atmosphere
processors are placed on inhospitable planets.
Powered by a 1.0 Terawatt fusion reactor, it
draws in the planetary atmospheres through a
series of louvers in the base and sides. This
atmosphere is then drawn up through a series of
hot mass processors, arranged in a ring around
the fusion core. Each processor draws in the
atmosphere through a battery of turbines, which
compress and accelerate the gas. The gas is
passed through a high temperature electrical
arc, which heats the gas and ionizes it.
Magnetic coils then heat the gas to near plasma
temperatures until the molecules are
disassociated into their component atoms. The
harmful byproducts are separated while the
remaining hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
atoms are expelled back into the atmosphere.
It is possible for a planet to have an
Atmospheric Standard without any specific
notation this means the planet may be
uncomfortable for human beings but not harmful.
Use Atmospheric Standards as modifiers
whenever a penalty would be accrued due to the
planet's particular environment.
High-pressure atmospheres inflict pressure
damage of 1d6 points per minute for every AS of
the planet's rating. A successful Fortitude save
(DC 15, +1 for each previous check) means the
Marine takes no damage in that minute.
Low-pressure atmospheres cause all non-
acclimated creatures to struggle for breath.
Characters must succeed on a Fortitude save
each hour (DC 15, +1 per previous check + AS)
or be fatigued. The fatigue ends when the
character is depressurized.
In extremely low-pressure environments,
creatures are subject to both fatigue (as
Aliens: Game Over - 73
described above) and pressure sickness.
Pressure sickness represents long-term oxygen
deprivation, and it affects mental and physical
ability scores. For every hour*AS a character
spends in the environment, he must succeed on
a Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 per previous check,
+ AS) or take 1 point of damage to all ability
scores. Creatures acclimated to the atmosphere
receive a +4 competence bonus on their saving
throws to resist pressure effects and pressure
sickness, but eventually even seasoned Marines
must abandon these dangerous elevations.
A caustic atmosphere is acidic, and
damages any ships or creatures in that
atmosphere. Characters and ships in a caustic
atmosphere suffer the AS in damage each
minute they remain in the planets atmosphere.
Acid damage is resisted by the Physical DR of
ships and spacesuits, however, any hull or suit
not designed for a caustic environment will lose
one DR each round, until the protection is gone.
Breathing a caustic atmosphere causes a
character to immediately begin smothering, and
inflicts 1d6 damage for each point of the planets
caustic modifier each round. Once the Physical
DR of a ship is breached, so is its hull.
Some planets are irradiated. This radiation
can either be from an outside source, or
internally generated. If a planet is irradiated, a
ship or character the AS in radiation damage
each minute they are close to the planet (close
enough to be within the planets atmosphere, if it
had one, is a good way to judge whats close
and what isnt). An unprotected character
exposed to the surface of such a world will take
1d6 + the planets AS rating points of radiation
damage each round.
Climate: Planets with frozen climates inflict
cold damage. An unprotected character in a
cold climate (below 40 F) must make a
Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, + 1 per
previous check + AS) or take the planet's AS
points of non-lethal damage. A character that
has the Survival skill may receive a bonus on
this saving throw and may be able to apply this
bonus to other characters as well (see the skill
Description).
A climate of frigid (below 0 F), causes
characters to make a Fortitude save once every
10 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check +
AS), taking AS points of non-lethal damage on
each failed save. A character that has the
Survival skill may receive a bonus on this saving
throw and may be able to apply this bonus to
other characters as well (see the skill
description). Characters wearing protective
74 Aliens: Game Over
clothing only need check once per hour for cold
and exposure damage.
A character that takes any non-lethal
damage from cold or exposure is beset by
frostbite or hypothermia (treat her as fatigued).
These penalties end when the character
recovers the non-lethal damage she took from
the cold and exposure.
A climate of frozen deals the planet's AS in
lethal damage per minute (no save). In addition,
a character must make a Fortitude save (DC 15,
+1 per previous check + AS) or take AS points
of non-lethal damage.
A character in a hot climate (above 90 F)
must make a Fortitude saving throw each hour
(DC 15, +1 for each previous check + AS) or
take AS points of non-lethal damage. Characters
wearing heavy clothing or armor of any sort take
a 4 penalty on their saves. A character with the
Survival skill may receive a bonus on this saving
throw and may be able to apply this bonus to
other characters as well (see the skill
description). Characters reduced to
unconsciousness begin taking lethal damage
(1d4 points per hour).
In very hot (above 110 F) climates, a
character must make a Fortitude save once
every 10 minutes (DC 15, +1 for each previous
check + AS) or take AS points of non-lethal
damage. Characters wearing heavy clothing or
armor of any sort take a 4 penalty on their
saves. A character with the Survival skill may
receive a bonus on this saving throw and may
be able to apply this bonus to other characters
as well. Characters reduced to unconsciousness
begin taking lethal damage (1d4 points per each
10-minute period).
A character that takes any non-lethal
damage from heat exposure now suffers from
heatstroke and is fatigued. These penalties end
when the character recovers the non-lethal
damage she took from the heat.
Torrid climates (air temperature over 140 F)
deal lethal damage. Breathing air in these
temperatures deals AS points of damage per
minute (no save). In addition, a character must
make a Fortitude save every 5 minutes (DC 15,
+1 per previous check + AS) or take AS points
of non-lethal damage. Those wearing heavy
clothing or any sort of armor take a 4 penalty
on their saves.
Primary Terrain: This is the closest terrain
that describes the majority of environments a
visiting character is likely to encounter. Planets
with "various" as their Primary Terrain have as
many diverse terrains as Earth.
Natural Resources: Natural resources
determine the most common valuable
commodity native to the planet in question.
Craft or Profession checks related to the natural
resource receive a circumstance bonus
depending on the Trade Modifier.
Indigenous Life Forms: The most
commonly encountered creatures on the planet.
Some creatures are known for their life forms
and these creatures have a higher chance of
being encountered. See the Monsters chapter
for more details.
Population: Population determines how
many people live on the planet. The less people
there are, the harder it is to make a Wealth
check on that planet.

Starports and Bases: Many planets merely
have frontier installations, which are just
enough resources to service ships in and out.
All ship-related checks to repair of looking for
parts suffer a trade modifier as a circumstance
penalty. Other planets are considerably more
advanced with starports. Starports do not
bestow any penalties.
Government: Most governments are either
run by Corporations or by the military. If the PC
is from the appropriate background, he receives
the Population Modifier as circumstance bonus
to all Charisma-based skill checks.
Campaign: What campaign the world is
appropriate for. In some cases, the planets
have not yet been explored and are only
appropriate for USMC. All CMCC worlds are
appropriate for USMC, but the planet may be
very different in the future.
Trade: All Craft, Profession, and Wealth
checks receive the Trade Modifier as a bonus or
penalty.
Closest Jumps: How many light years it
takes to reach that particular planet. Jump Drive
navigation is a carefully regulated secret; PCs
can't just hop to any planet they please. Finding
a new route to a planet should be an adventure
in itself. The Jump Distance represents how
many light years (multiplied by 5) a ship must
Jump to reach the next planet.
Borodino Sector
Borodino is a mostly unclaimed sector. The
original Borodino Corporation made tentative
exploration efforts and then went bankrupt. This
left a power vacuum ripe for colonization that
many mid-level Corporations have taken
advantage of.

The planet known only as A6 454 has a

buffeted by storms. It also has a heavy radiation
belt, making it an extremely unfriendly place.
And yet several companies lay claim to it
surface because it has one of the largest
naturally occurring Alien hives in the system.
The highest peak on A6 454 is 350 meters the
Alien hive reaches 1,000 meters in height. The

Aerodyne is a terraformed planet that has
been colonized by its namesake, the Aerodyne
Corporation. Aerodyne had a very specific
interest in converting windy worlds into
habitable, renewable resources through high-
tech windmills. Aerodyne's success indicates its
approach to terraforming is viable. Much to the
ICC's consternation, Aerodyne has opened a
direct link to Weyland-Yutani, circumventing the
necessity of returning to Earth. Marine forces
are not welcome here, which is why so many
illegal activities take place.

Fiorina 161 is a planet on the Outer Veil.
There is also a problem with lice, for which there
was no treatment. For prolonged visits to
Fiorina, the shaving off of all hair is
recommended. For this reason, a maximum-
security work correctional facility for male
convicts was set up. The Class C prison unit,
number 12037154 used to house thousands of
prisoners working in the mineral ore refinery and
lead works, but this was reduced to 22 prisoners
(Arthur, Boggs, Christopher, David, Dillon, Ed,
Eric, Frank, Gillas, Golic, Gregor, Janni, Jude,
Kevin, Lawrence, Martin, Morse, Murphy, Rains,
Troy, Vincent and William) and 3 custodians
(Aaron, Andrews and Clemens) in the late 22nd
century to continue the refining of the natural
methane occurring there. The prisoners, led by
Dillon, started their own apocalyptic millenarian
fundamentalist Christian movement there.
Everything was running smoothly until Ripley
crashed there in an EEV and an Alien began
running amok. In a complex 10 square miles in
area, and with 600 air ducts, the Alien quickly
gained the advantage. The prison didnt have
any modern amenities, and no weapons; they
were on the honor system. After the Alien killed
all the prisoners but Morse, the facility was
closed down and the remaining refinery
equipment was sold as scrap. Some people also
called it Fiori 16.

Pandora is aptly named; it disguises a

to the other systems. The earth-like conditions
make research prolific; the lack of any real law
attracts an unpleasant element dedicated to
breaking every law known to man. Drugs are
manufactured for, experimented with, and
released upon the native population, which
becomes increasingly unstable with every
passing year. It is a useful planet, a dark
underbelly of experimentation that would never
be allowed on more civilized planets. Although
most other planets consider Pandora to be a
shameful example of humanity, many of them
have benefited from drugs that were first
synthesized here.

CSC Sector
A perpetual thorn in the CMC's side, the
Central Space Consortium (CSC) proved just
how much influence Corporations would have
over space exploration. Its most Earth-like world
is Alexandria, one of several that seceded from
the ICC. Thanks to trade embargoes, the CSC's
grip on this sector is slipping. Still, it is not a
friendly place for Marines.

Outer Rim
The Outer Rim is a shifting boundary in
space that defined the region populated by Earth
colonies and unpopulated areas. Acheron was

Defensive, Escort
A small contingent of USM Marines ensures
valuable cargo or important person successful
reaches its destination. The USM Marine's
opposite number, the bandit or guerilla,
frequently raid escorts. Marines are employed
in large numbers to guard and escort the cargo
from one location to another. The cargo isn't
necessarily very valuable; there's simply enough
of a standard staple to make it worth hijacking
by unsavory types. Usually merchants employ
USM Marines to this end. The person being
escorted can include a pilgrim or a princess,
depending on the situation.
EXAMPLE: Pilgrims on a pilgrimage to a
sacred shrine can find no one else to defend
them, so they hire a small group of USM
Marines to accompany them on the trip. But the
pilgrims are not all that they seem; they are on a
holy mission to reunite two relics. The second
relic is the goal of the pilgrimage. Along the
way, rival cults and alien forces dog their every
step.
Defensive, Garrison Duty
Garrison duty includes maintaining a military
position. The garrison assignment can guard
anything from a city to a planet, defending it
against any hostile external forces. Garrison
duty is long, boring, and generally loathed by
most USM Marines. Garrison positions are
dangerous because the USM Marines are
present to maintain a position, often contested
by a neighboring enemy.
EXAMPLE: An enemy calls a crusade to
capture the Strike Force's headquarters. During
the height of the historical USM Marine era, the
Pope called upon a crusade to destroy invading
USM Marines. It is very possible USM Marines
may face crusading paladins and clerics seeking
to throw them out of town.
Defensive, Guard Duty
Similar to garrison duty, guard duty involves
guarding a friendly holding. Marines can be
asked to guard just about everything, from fort
entrances to treasure vaults, weddings to
powerful artifacts. Marines are typically in a
defensive position, but unlike garrison duty, the
94 Aliens: Game Over
guards face more varied and possibly more
dangerous opponents.
EXAMPLE: The USM Marines must guard
an important political figure. The Strike Force
may have to contend with spies, traitors, and
assassination attempts.
Defensive, Honor Guard
The USM Marine group is hired to display its
might without actually fighting. Although it may
come to that, this is by far the cushiest kind of
mission. Rich employers who want to threaten
their opponents will often hire their USM Marines
to put on a convincing display of force.
EXAMPLE: The USM Marine Strike Force is
hired to impress the local military with their
employer's might. But the USM Marines must
go shopping first to ensure their weapons,
armor, and equipment look brand new. A little
shopping might be in order, making this mission
more expensive than it first seemed.
Defensive, Patrol
A patrol is similar to a garrison; only it
requires the USM Marines to roam. It usually
involves patrolling an area or land, spotting
enemies and engaging them if need be.
EXAMPLE: The Strike Force is hired to
protect settlers in a new land. The natives are
committed to throwing the newcomers out with
whatever tactics are necessary. They may have
new poisons, special mounts, special drugs, or
unique magic on their side. The natives know
the terrain better than the USM Marines,
including its advantages and dangers.
Offensive, Retrieval
A small contingent of Marines are deployed
to retrieve a valuable item or person. This
mission requires that guards be disposed of,
breaking and entering, and theft. Just as
important as reaching the target is the object
returning to the employer. When people are
involved, this mission can be considered
kidnapping.
EXAMPLE: A rare material (plutonium,
diamond, adamantine) is stored in a vault. A
local government needs it for a greater good,
perhaps to create a super weapon to oppose
another force, perhaps to create a lifesaving
technology. The USM Marines are hired to get it
out. The best technology guards its
safekeeping. Traps abound. And there's a time
limit before it's too late.
Offensive, Revolt
Revolts are another onerous task that USM
Marines are often hired for which does little to
improve their reputation. Typically, the people
revolting are the underclass who is not trained
military personnel. Strike Forces are hired to
brutally put a stop to the revolt. Under most
military conventions, such a mission is only
allowed if the civilians are engaged in clearly
destructive activity to a legal, internationally
recognized civil authority or government. The
USM Marine Strike Force is, in theory, supposed
to use the minimum force necessary at all times.
EXAMPLE: The employer that the USM
Marines helped put into a position of power
needs their help yet again. A murderous
rebellion is actively undermining the employer's
rule. The Strike Force is brought in to quell the
rebellion. But just who are the rebels and do
what is the employer hiding?
Offensive, Uprising
The opposite of a revolt, a rich but powerless
employer hires the USM Marines to stage an
uprising. This is one of the most dangerous
missions a USM Marine can be hired for, but it
has potential long-term rewards if the grateful
employer comes to power. But if he doesn't, the
USM Marines need to get out of town, fast.
EXAMPLE: The Corporation the USM
Marines put into power is worse than his
predecessors. Now the rebellion is willing to pay
them to switch sides. Marines must infiltrate
local culture, learn their ways, and play a
dangerous game of cat and mouse with local
officials and hired thugs. They need to know
who to trust and when to run. And then, when it
all comes together, they need to put down the
dictator permanently and place a new
government in the power vacuum.
Raid, Bug Hunt
Aliens are always a problem. When
extraterrestrial life becomes a sufficient
nuisance, USM Marines are hired to take care of
it. Be it a cavernous complex, a dangerous
mountain pass, or a deep forest, the USM
Marines are fighting an enemy on its home turf.
Marines are wise to tread carefully.
EXAMPLE: See the movie Aliens. It's called
a "bug hunt" for a reason.
Raid, Corporate
When the USMC gets tired of Corporation
antics, they take the offensive. In this case,
USM Marines are hired to wipe out an enemy
Corporation. It can be anything from terrorists to
rebel outposts.
EXAMPLE: Environmentalists, tired of drug-
traffickers hacking up innocent species for their
supposed value as aphrodisiacs, hire USM
Marines to take out the intergalactic poachers
once and for all.
Raid, Diversionary
Unfriendly neighbors will often test a border
by conducting raids on contested territory.
When the employer is finally fed up, a USM
Marine Strike Force is hired to retaliate against
the raiders. Marines lay traps, hide within
abandoned buildings, and otherwise lure the
enemy out into the open to spring their ambush.
EXAMPLE: A bordering country enjoys
sending in guerilla troops to test the might of its
neighbor. The USM Marines must beat the
guerillas at their own game by luring them into a
constructed town, complete with traps and
ambushes.
Raid, Exploration
A small group of USM Marines is needed to
explore new terrain. The terrain is known to be
hostile. Marines are more likely to face violent
flora and fauna that may be a new twist in typical
military tactics for the Strike Force.
EXAMPLE: A new planet is discovered and
the USM Marines are hired to act as vanguard.
Their job: secure the planet for colonists. But
nobody mentioned the path went straight
through bug territory.
Raid, Scouting
A small unit of USM Marines ventures further
out from the main body of a military force to
gather information about the enemy. The goal is
to gather the information and then safely return it
to the employer, not engage in a firefight. These
raids are staged prior to a major assault, but the
enemy must not be made aware that the attack
is imminent.
EXAMPLE: In the middle of a war, the USM
Marines must enter deep territory to reconnoiter
the land and return with information about troop
numbers, movement, and firepower. The enemy
Aliens: Game Over - 95
could be an alien race with peculiar habits that
making information gathering difficult.
Raid, Urban
Village raids are very common in urban
warfare. The USM Marines have to retake a
civilian area that is occupied by non-combatants.
This kind of mission requires much more
precision and discipline. When Strike Forces
lose control of their men, the worst can happen,
earning the Strike Force an unsavory reputation.
EXAMPLE: The local citizens have gotten
tired of the gang wars in their city. The USM
Marines are hired to take out both groups with
extreme prejudice without leveling the city or
involving the authorities (who might be on the
take for one of the gangs).
Variable, Civil War
A civil war is the worst kind of war, because
everyone hates the USM Marine. Civil wars are
risky business if the employing side loses.
Conflict is inevitable and dangerous. Roll an
additional 1d10 missions, ignoring Variable
results. The pecuniary index for Civil War is
used for all submissions and the durations are
added together.
EXAMPLE: A new colony has decided it
wants nothing to do with its founding country
and is engaged in a war for independence. The
USM Marines are hired from overseas to quash
their efforts, but the national troops aren't
interested in any help. The USM Marines
become a symbol of all that is wrong with the
founding country. Hated by the soldiers they're
supposed to work with, loathed by the people
they're there to fight, the Strike Force starts to
96 Aliens: Game Over
wonder why it signed the mission in the first
place.
Variable, War
A full-fledged war breaks out. This is the
business USM Marines were made for. Usually,
the entire Strike Force is hired. These battles
can vary widely but will ultimately use all the
skills of the USM Marine Strike Force. Roll an
additional 1d6 missions, ignoring Variable
results. The pecuniary index for War is used for
all submissions and the durations are added
together.
EXAMPLE: A bloody war erupts on a distant
planet. It's a war of escalation. Each side hires
its own military force, and mercenary companies
of all shapes and sizes flock there to make their
name. Old friends might end up fighting each
other to the death. Missions are broken,
renegotiated, and rewritten as employers
struggle to keep up with the ever-fluctuating
needs of the mercenaries.
Awards and Reprimands
Depending on the success or failure of a
mission, Marines may receive awards or
reprimands. Each award or reprimand is
accompanied by a subsequent gain or loss in
Reputation. A court martial or imprisonment
always results in a loss of rank

MONSTERS
"There's a monster in your stomach. It's a real nasty one. They hijacked your cryotube and sold you to
him and he put an alien in you. In a few hours it will punch its way through your chest and you'll die. Any
questions?"
Aliens come in a wide variety of shapes and
sizes. Various artists, writers, and producers
have envisioned the Aliens universe differently.
Presented here are the "standard" Aliens from
the movies along with a template for producing
endless variations. For more details about each
of the Aliens, see the source entry.
Aliens are made of polarized silica, which
means they have more in common with plastic
and glass than other carbon-based life forms.
Their internal energy is electrical in nature and
circulated via their acidic fluids. As a result, they
do not require organic food to survive. They
require it to regenerate and create resin, but not
for basic survival. Their bodies are so sensitive
to stimulus that very little is required to nourish
them it can be solar energy, static electricity,
or direct current.
Aliens prefer warm, moist areas, as this is
most conducive to their metabolism, but can live
anywhere, even in a vacuum. Electrical devices
especially stimulate them. This is why Aliens will
congregate around generators and power
plants.
Occasionally, a queen inherits a defect that
makes her red-colored instead of black. All
subsequent Aliens birthed by that queen are red.
Red Aliens cannot tolerate the presence of black
Aliens and attack them on sight, like ants. Alien
broods that grow to sufficient size to allow a red
Alien Queen to survive have started genocidal
wars between the two Alien types that can
consume entire planets.
Aliens possess the following traits:
Acid Blood (Ex): All Aliens, from
facehugger to adult, have acidic blood.
For any physical attack causing damage
to an Alien, there is a chance for splash
damage from the acid blood. Count only
that damage which gets through damage
reduction. Use the amount of damage
done in the attack as the DC for the save
--Ripley to Purvis, Alien Resurrection
Aliens
of the melee weapon doing the damage
modified as necessary if a masterwork or
magical weapon. Use the amount of
damage done in the attack as the DC for
the Reflex saving throw for all those
within 5 feet of the creature hit. Modify
the DC and subsequent damage by 1/2 if
using bludgeoning or piercing weapons.
Double the DC and damage if the Alien is
above the victim. Damage from acid
splash is 1d6 per 6 points of damage
inflicted by an attack causing a splash
(round down) for a maximum of 10d6.
Armor and possessions must be checked
on a failure. Any item must make a save
vs. the DC of the amount of damage
inflicted. A masterwork weapon gets a
bonus of +5 to the save. Failure destroys
the item. Floor and surroundings must be
checked as well for results of acid
damage.
Blindsight (Ex): Using non-visual
senses, such as sensitivity to vibrations,
keen smell, acute hearing, or
echolocation, Aliens maneuver and fight
as well as a sighted creature. Invisibility,
darkness, and most kinds of
concealment are irrelevant, though the
Alien must have line of effect to a
creature or object to discern that creature
or object. The abilitys range extends to
60 feet. The Alien does not need to make
Spot or Listen checks to notice creatures
within range of its blindsight ability.
Blindsight is continuous, and the Alien
need do nothing to use it.
Invisibility (Ex): Because Aliens do not
generate body heat because they do not
have any external cellular activity. They
do not show up on thermal sensors.
Breath Weapon (Ex): Adult Aliens
(drones and praetorians) can spit acid
three times a day. Such breath weapons
Aliens: Game Over - 97
 allow a Reflex save for half damage (DC
10 + 1/2 breathing Alien's racial HD +
breathing Alien's Con modifier). Failure
to save also causes the target to be
dazed for 1d4 rounds. Aliens are immune
to their own breath weapon.
Climb (Ex): All Aliens have a +8 racial
bonus on Climb checks. The Alien must
make a Climb check to climb any wall or
slope with a DC of more than 0, but it
always can choose to take 10 even if
rushed or threatened while climbing. The
Alien climbs at the given speed while
climbing. If it chooses an accelerated
climb it moves at double the given climb
speed (or its base land speed, whichever
is lower) and makes a single Climb check
at a 5 penalty. Aliens cannot run while
climbing. An Alien retains its Dexterity
bonus to Armor Class (if any) while
climbing, and opponents get no special
bonus on their attacks against a climbing
Alien.
Energy Resistance (Ex): Aliens have
cold resistance 5. Due to the conductive
nature of their blood, they are also
capable of being electrocuted. Aliens
have electrical resistance 5.
Fear Attraction (Ex): Alien adults
(drones and praetorians) that detect fear
using their Sense Fear ability become
excited. Fearful prey stimulates them to
make especially messy kills. The Alien
gains +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution,
and 2 to Armor Class until its victim is
no longer afraid (e.g., dead, flees the
area, drives off the Alien, etc.). The Alien
cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Frightful Presence (Ex): This special
quality makes an Alien's very presence
unsettling to foes. It takes effect
automatically when the Alien performs
some sort of dramatic action (such as
charging, attacking, or snarling).
Opponents within range who witness the
action may become frightened. The
range is 30 feet, and the duration is 5d6
rounds. This ability affects only
opponents with fewer Hit Dice or levels
than the Alien. An affected opponent can
resist the effects with a successful Will
save (DC 10 + 1/2 frightful Alien's racial
HD + frightful creatures Cha modifier).
Increases the DC by 2 per additional
Alien praetorian, worker, or Queen within
50 feet. If a chestburster emerges from a
body, it can use its frightful presence
98 Aliens: Game Over
power with a +5 circumstance penalty to
the save. An opponent that succeeds on
the saving throw is immune to that same
Alien's frightful presence for 24 hours.
Frightful presence is a mind-affecting
fear effect.
Hive Mind (Ex): All Aliens within 50
miles of their queen are in constant
communication. If one is aware of a
particular danger, they all are. If one in a
group is not flatfooted, none of them are.
No Alien in a group is considered flanked
unless all of them are.
Improved Grab (Ex): If an Alien hits with
its tail, it deals normal damage and
attempts to start a grapple as a free
action without provoking an attack of
opportunity. No initial touch attack is
required. This ability works for any
humanoid creature up to Large size
(even in the case of facehuggers). The
Alien has the option to conduct the
grapple normally, or simply use its tail 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 Alien 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 any extra damage unless the
Alien also has the constrict special
attack. If the Alien does not constrict,
each successful grapple check it makes
during successive rounds automatically
deals the damage indicated for the attack
that established the hold. Otherwise, it
deals constriction damage as well. When
an Alien gets a hold after an improved
grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its
space. This act does not provoke attacks
of opportunity. It can even move
(possibly carrying away the opponent),
provided it can drag the opponents
weight.
Poison (Ex): Any creature hit by a tail
attack from an adult Alien must make a
Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d2
hours. The Fortitude save DC against a
poison attack is equal to 10 + 1/2 Alien's
racial HD + Alien's Con modifier. It can
poison up to 18 times a day. Paralyzed
creatures cannot move, speak, or take
any physical actions. The creature is
rooted to the spot, frozen and helpless. A
winged creature flying in the air at the
time that it is paralyzed cannot flap its
 wings and falls. A swimmer cant swim
and may drown. Aliens are immune to
Praetorian
their own poison.
Pounce (Ex): When an Alien makes a
charge, it can follow with a full attack.
Psychic Vulnerability (Su): Due to the
subjugation of Aliens to their Queen,
weakened Aliens can have their actions
influenced by a mind in an exalted state
(using psionics, for example). Aliens
receive a 1 morale penalty to all Will
saves against psionic F/X for every 8 hit
points lost. If the Alien heals, these
penalties disappear.
Resin (Ex): Alien adults (drones and
praetorians) often wait in their hive and
then lower themselves silently on silk
strands to leap onto prey passing
beneath. A single strand is strong
enough to support the Alien and one
creature of the same size. Aliens can
release a strand eight times per day,
even at opponents. This is similar to an
attack with a net but has a maximum
range of 20 feet, with a range increment
of 5 feet, and is effective against targets
up to one size category larger than the
Alien. An entangled creature can escape
with a successful Escape Artist check or
burst it with a Strength check. Both are
standard actions whose DCs are given in
the table below. The check DCs are
Constitution-based, and the Strength
check DC includes a +4 racial bonus.
Attempts to escape or burst the cocoon
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 given on the table, and
cocoons have damage reduction 5/fire.
An adult Alien can move across its own
resin at its climb speed and can pinpoint
the location of any creature touching the
resin. Resin blocks all transmissions and
signals, including radio transmissions.
Size Escape Artist DC Break DC Hit Points
Drone 12 16 6
13 17 12
Scent (Ex): This special quality allows
an Alien to detect approaching enemies,
sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense
of smell. Aliens can identify familiar odors
just as humans do familiar sights. The
Alien 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, such as smoke or rotting
garbage, can be detected at twice the
ranges noted above. Overpowering
scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte
stench, can be detected at triple normal
range. When an Alien detects a scent,
the exact location of the source is not
revealedonly its presence somewhere
within range. The Alien can take a move
action to note the direction of the scent.
Whenever the Alien comes within 5 feet
of the source, the Alien pinpoints the
sources location. An Alien with the Track
feat and the scent ability can follow
tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or
Survival) 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 how strong the quarrys
odor is, the number of creatures, 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. Aliens tracking by scent
ignore the effects of surface conditions
and poor visibility.
Sense Fear (Su): An adult Alien can
sense fear in prey up to 25 ft. away.
Tremorsense (Ex): Aliens are sensitive
to vibrations in the ground and can
automatically pinpoint the location of
anything that is in contact with the
ground, up to 60 feet. They can also
sense the location of creatures moving
through water.

The Alien eggs look like 3-foot footballs,
weighing about 60 pounds. Their leathery
casing can protect the enclosed facehuggers for
centuries, if necessary, waiting for the time an
unsuspecting victim comes investigating. A
possible target is then evaluated for its suitability
as a host and if it is found to be so, the enclosed
facehugger awakens and the egg opens, the top
peeling open like an orange in a flower-like
pattern to expose the now-awake and ready
facehugger. Using a form of the queens prey
call ability, an intended victim is caught in a

mental vice and held for the springing attack by
the hugger.
There is also a much smaller emergency
version of the egg, which is only about a foot
high and weighing about 10 pounds. This egg
can support the enclosed facehugger only for a
couple of months before it dies. Use the normal
egg statistics for this version, but change its
Constitution to 13.
COMBAT
Lying in wait for centuries if need be, the
Alien egg is a deadly booby trap ready to trigger
when any suitable host comes near. It and its
enclosed facehugger have limited (but powerful)
mental abilities to help it perform its function of
procuring a new host for its species.
Prey Call (Ex): Any creature with an
Intelligence of 3 or above within 5 feet of an
Alien egg must make a DC 20 Will save or be
fascinated by the egg. The creature stands or
sits quietly, taking no actions other than to move
closer to the egg, for as long as the effect lasts.
It takes a 4 penalty on skill checks made as
reactions, such as Listen and Spot checks. The
effect ends after a facehugger or Alien attacks.
A fascinated creatures ally may shake it free of
the spell as a standard action.
Facehugger (Ex): An Alien egg spawns one
facehugger and then promptly dies.

Looking like two hands joined where the
wrists would be, the facehugger is short-lived
outside the egg, which normally protects it. It
will be dead within a few (1d4+1) hours after
leaving its egg. Armed with a long grasping tail,
a spray of highly-concentrated acid and the
single-mined desire to impregnate a single
selected prey using its extending probe, it will
fearlessly pursue and attack a single selected
target until it has succeeded in attachment or it
or its target is dead.
COMBAT
The obvious attack that a facehugger has is
to pounce on its unsuspecting victim of at least
30 lbs. Its can also crawl up walls just like other
Aliens. This skill can be used to hide and to
jump from the wall onto the victim.
Acid Spray (Ex): The Alien may generate a
spray of acid blood once during its limited
lifetime. This spray inflicts 1 hit point of damage
to the creature. The spray may be used to cut
through armor, to gain access through a door or
wall to a seen victim (bars on a window for
example can be cut through) or as an attack.
The use of this spray is instantaneous and is a
free action. The range of acid spray is only one
foot. This attack may be used in a normal
attack, but this will be done only by direction of
the queen. Treat this as a normal attack.
Alien, Facehugger
Facehug (Ex): On a successful grapple
attempt from the improved grab, the creature
attaches itself to the face of its victim. If the
targets face is protected (by helmet faceplate
for example) the hugger will use its acid spray to
remove the obstacle. Use an acid blood attack
of 20 points to attack the armor. If it fails, the
alien cannot attach, but may grapple normally. If
the victim is unconscious, the helmet may be
opened or removed in one round. If attacked
while attached, slashing or piercing weapons will
do normal damage but have a 50% chance to do
equal damage to the host. This will also
release the creatures acid blood on the
surroundings, have a 10% chance per point of
damage done of triggering the creatures acid
mist attack into the hosts face and chest interior
and trigger its strangulation attack. Bludgeoning
weapons do no damage to the hugger, but all
damage from the impact is transferred to the
host.
Implant (Ex): Unless attacked, (the removal
attempt counts as an attack) the victim is kept
alive but unconscious (at 2d4 below 0 hp) until
impregnation is complete in approximately 24
hours (20+1d6 hours). The facehugger then
detaches and dies and the victim regains
consciousness until the chestburster is born.
The number and type of embryo implanted
by a facehugger is determined by the size and
mass of the host. If the host is dead, only drones
can be produced. One drone can be implanted
for every 30 pounds of mass (minimum). If the
host is alive, then any type of Alien can be
produced, including a queen or praetorian. One
praetorian embryo can be implanted for every 50
pounds of mass. Only a single queen embryo
can be implanted in a minimum mass of 100
pounds but only one can be implemented
regardless of host size. If the host dies after
implantation but before the chestburster is born,
the Alien automatically grows into a drone. This
gestation period takes 1d4 hours for the drone
and praetorian chestburster and 7+1d4 hours for
a queen chestburster.
The only way to remove the embryo between
the time of implantation and birth is through
surgery with the Surgery feat and a Treat Injury
check (DC 25). If the check fails, the surgeon
can try again, but each attempt (successful or
not) deals 1d6 points of damage to the patient.
Strangulation (Ex): If in danger of being
killed while attached, the hugger will loose its
sleeping poison on the victim in addition to
constricting for maximum damage (6 points) as it
Aliens: Game Over - 101
goes through its death throes. The victim must
make a Fortitude save (DC 20) or die. It
requires a Strength check (DC 20) to remove the
tail from the victims neck. Strangulation
damage occurs until the tail is removed.
Improved Grab (Ex): The facehugger can
use the Improved Grab ability on creatures of up
to Large size. The facehugger attacks by trying
to wrap its tail around the neck of the victim and
then pulling itself over the face and then locking
its eight legs around the head of the poor
creature.
102 Aliens: Game Over
Constrict (Ex): A facehugger can constrict
for 1d6 points of damage each round on a
successful grapple check, in addition to the
grappling weapon's normal damage. If the
creature reaches 0 hit points, the facehugger
uses its facehug ability.
Leap Attack (Ex): If attacking from its just-
opened egg, the hugger gains a +5 surprise
bonus to its Improved Grab grapple check. This
attack has a range of 10 feet.
Skills: Racial bonuses of +10 to Hide, Jump,

After a facehugger has impregnated
someone, this is the next evolvement of the
Alien life cycle. It weighs a little over a pound
and looks like a cross between a drone Alien
and a facehugger: it has the head and upper
arms of an adult, but retains the long, powerful
tail of the facehugger.
Chestbursters are ravenous little beasts.
They grow at incredible speed and require a
massive supply of matter even inorganic
materials. A chestburster will consume a total of
two times its eventual adult weight. Roughly,
one-fourth of what it consumes will be
hydrocarbon-based matter (plants, animals,
plastic), one-half will be inorganics (glass,
silicon, dirt) and one-fourth is water. All these
materials are readily available in the most
environments. Given the right materials, a
chestburster grows to full size in 1d4 hours,
molting once per hour. If a chestburster does not
find enough food within three days, it dies.
COMBAT
Alien, Chestburster
Chestbursters avoid open combat.
Birth (Ex): Between the time the facehugger
detaches and dies and the chestburster is born
at the end of gestation, the host is totally
unaware anything is amiss, except perhaps for
being very ravenously hungry. At the time of the
chestbursters appearance, however, this
changes. Gripped in horrible pain, the hosts
chest us torn apart from the inside out as the
chestburster forces its way into the world. This
usually causes the death of the host, causing
3d10 Con damage. Should the victim survive
this trauma, damage continues at the rate of 1d4
Con damage per round until stabilized by a
Treat Injury check (DC 25) or healing drugs
doing more than 10 points of healing. Birth
takes 1d3 rounds.
Acid Bite (Ex): A chestburster deals an extra
1d6 points of acid damage every time it bites an
opponent.
Chew (Ex): Chestbursters can chew through
anything both to consume it and remove
obstacles. By gnawing on any material, it can
inflict 1d4 points of acid damage to objects per
round, ignoring hardness.
Regenerate (Ex): Because the chestburster
is growing so fast and regularly shedding its
skin, wounds heal over at high speeds. Damage
dealt to the chestburster is treated as non-lethal
damage. The chestburster automatically heals
non-lethal damage at a fixed rate of 5 hit points
per round. Fire deals lethal damage to the
chestburster, which doesnt go away. A
regenerating chestburster that has been
rendered unconscious through non-lethal
damage can be killed with a coup de grace. The
attack cannot be of a type that automatically
converts to non-lethal damage. Attack forms that
dont deal hit point damage ignore regeneration.
Regeneration also does not restore hit points
lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation.
Regenerating chestbursters can regrow lost
portions of their bodies.

COMBAT
Alien drones live only to serve the Queen
and the hive. They service the Queens needs
as well as accompany the praetorians to
procurer living hosts for the eggs. They will fight
only as a last resort, which is the job for the
praetorians.
Tongue Strike (Ex): If an alien hits with both
claw attacks, the alien may make a special bite,
using its inner mandibles. This attack is instead
of the regular bite and allows a Reflex save (DC
15). This attack inflicts 4d6+4 hit points of
damage. By leaving the inner mouth closed,
subdual damage may be done instead of
regular, allowing the capture of live hosts.
Trip (Ex): A drone that hits with its tail attack
can attempt to trip the opponent (+3 check
modifier) as a free action without making a touch
attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If
the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to
trip the drone.
Improved grab (Ex): To use this ability, the
drone must hit with a claw attack. It can then
attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it
wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and
can use its tongue strike ability.
Skills: Racial bonus of +10 to Hide,

A praetorian Alien is the queen's royal guard
and the protector of the Alien hive. Alien
praetorians are the result of the forceful mixing
of a humans DNA with the DNA of an embryo,
which grows inside that human host after that
host is successfully impregnated in an attack
by an Alien facehugger. They are distinguished
from Alien drones by their completely smooth
Alien, Praetorian
head plates and six digits on each hand (four
fingers and two thumbs).
COMBAT
Alien praetorians live only to serve the hive.
If service to the hive means death, so be it.
Fear belongs only to the enemy. Praetorians
fight fearlessly. Individually, an Alien praetorian
is bad news. In a group, it gets worst. Able to
instantly communicate telepathically, they share
one hive mind. What one sees, all see.
Tongue Strike (Ex): If an Alien hits with both
claw attacks, it may make a special bite, using
its inner mandibles. This attack is instead of the
regular bite and allows a Reflex save (DC 15).
This attack inflicts 4d6+4 hit points of damage.
By leaving the inner mouth closed, subdual
damage may be done instead of regular,
allowing the capture of live hosts.
Trip (Ex): A praetorian that hits with its tail
attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+3
check modifier) as a free action without making
a touch attack or provoking an attack of
opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent
cannot react to trip the praetorian.
Improved grab (Ex): To use this ability, the
praetorian must hit with a claw attack. It can
then attempt to start a grapple as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it
wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and
can use its tongue strike ability.
Skills: Racial bonus of +10 to Hide,
Intimidate, and Move Silently (included above).
Additional racial bonus of +10 to hide within it's
own hive.

Leader and mother of the hive, the Alien
Queen has three duties which empowers the
hive. First she lays eggs to provide the hive with
further drones, praetorians, and the occasional
new queen to spread the influence and power of
her species. She also guides and coordinates
the actions of the hive, making the drones and
praetorians much more efficient. Then third, she
uses her significant psionic abilities to draw prey
to the hive, calling them as they sleep from a
wide area.
Starting as a facehugger within one of the
leathery eggs, like any other of her kind, her life
becomes different from the others of her kind as
her gestation inside the host is longer than that
of drones or praetorians, six to seven days as
opposed to two days for the lesser creatures.
When initially infesting a new planet, Alien
queens can delay their chestbursting. All
implanted eggs will be Queens to ensure
maximum infection. Additionally, some embryos
can spontaneously transform into Alien Queens
if there are no other Alien Queens in the area.
After the maturation of the embryo, the
chestburster makes its appearance with usual
consequences to the. This chestburster is a
little different in appearance than the ones that
grow into drones or praetorians, having usable
arms and bring a little smaller, but for game
purposes, the queen-to-be can use the same
statistics for the chestburster given. She now
spends the next few days to week or so in the
form of a growing, evolving chestburster until
she matures into the Princess stage.
As a Princess, she is treated as royalty. Any
Alien will obey her as they do the Queen, unless
ordered otherwise by the Queen. If alone, she
can hunt for prey herself better than a drone and
in fact as well or better than a praetorian, though
she is not as tough as the bred fighters initially.
Progression through the Princess stage will take
from between one to up to seven days per hit
die to grow into the Immature stage when
growth of her egg sac begins.
Almost all () growth at the Immature stage
goes into her egg sac. She loses her mobility as

the egg sac grows (cannot run and no longer
has freedom or motion on non-floor surfaces if
attached) and loses 10 feet of speed per HD of
growth while attached. With the approach of the
end of this stage she cannot move at all without
assistance. She is the prisoner of the egg sac.
At this stage her mental abilities begin and she
can begin to use her highly acidic spittle as a
spray to help defend herself in her less mobile
state. Adding one to four HD per day of growth,
she is soon to the next stage and ready to found
her own colony.
She is now a New Queen, immobile but now
served by drones and praetorians given to her
as a dowry of sorts by her mother. Carried by
her new entourage to the already scouted site of
her new hive, she now settles down to her duty
to her eggs. By this time, she can lay eggs at
the rate of two to four a day. Her mental abilities
are increasing and she can now call prey to her
and her hive. Her growth is still fast, about
HD per day, as always varying with
environmental factors.
The next stages of growth, Established and
Mature, feature the slowing of her growth as
more and more of her energy is dedicated to
egg production. Her abilities increase and she is
a force to be reckoned with. Finally as a Mature
Queen, she can produce her own princesses
and spread her kinds power even more widely.
She lays more and more eggs and her growth
slows to almost nothing as she fulfils her
potential. This can take a year or more for each
of these stages.
If she lives long enough, she may become
the Queen Mother. There can be only one
Queen Mother. Should the existing Queen
Mother die, all the other mature Queens
instinctually know and will telepathically choose
a new one among them to fill this role. Only in
this way can one slow the egg production to the
point that growth to this stage becomes
possible. Upon reaching the required size and
abilities, she once again becomes an egg
machine, gaining further size very slowly,
perhaps one HD per year.

Aliens ultimately implanted the ape-like
beings that inhabit a jungle planet, known only
as Zeevan. Ape hybrids live in hives of 51
drones, with one Queen who lays approximately
36 eggs.

Ape hybrids swing from treetops and enjoy
crushing enemies with their claws.

particularly acidic blood. Double any damage
inflicted from acid blood.
Alien Hybrid, Arachnid
Challenge Rating: 8
Source: Alien Toys
Uneducated colonists, who took this Alien
hybrid to be some form of giant spider, named
arachnid hybrids inaccurately. They do "spin"
resin like webs from their lower carapace, but
the arachnid comparison stops there. It has only
three pairs of limbs. The two forelimbs are little
more than spiked pincers, incapable of any fine
manipulation.
COMBAT
Arachnid hybrids are hive-bound, never
leaving the darkness of the hive if they can help
it. They specialize in pouncing on opponents
that enter the hive and act primarily as guards.
Skills: +8 racial bonus on Hide and Move
Silently checks when using their resin.

Alien Hybrid, Bull
Source: Alien Toys
Spawned on an Earth-like world known only
as TerraForm 3, this bizarre Alien hybrid is a
quadruped. They appear as crouched Aliens
with horns jutting out of their heads. Bull hybrids
live in hives of 81 drones, with one Queen who
lays approximately 57 eggs.
COMBAT
Bull hybrids lead off by charging and then
use claw attacks on opponents they overrun.
Powerful Charge (Ex): A bull hybrid typically
begins a battle by charging at an opponent,
lowering its head to bring its mighty horns into
play. In addition to the normal benefits and
hazards of a charge, this allows the beast to
make a single gore attack with a +9 attack
bonus that deals 2d6+16 points of damage.
Fire Vulnerability (Ex): Bull hybrids take half

any fire effect, regardless of whether a saving
throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or
failure.

also have two "normal" Alien limbs. As if that
weren't enough, killer crab hybrids carry
chestbursters within them and are capable of
ejecting them at a distance. The carapace is a
dark black with a bright red underbelly.
COMBAT
Killer crab hybrids are overaggressive,
attacking everything in sight. They are believed
to be a short-lived hybrid species because they
carry two chestbursters within them. When a
killer crab hybrid nears death, it will launch its
chestbursters at a target in the hopes of
providing fresh meat for the newborns. Of
course, the corpse of the killer crab hybrid will
also serve as a suitable substitute.
Improved Grab (Ex): When a killer crab
hybrid hits with its claws or tail, it attempts to
start a grapple as a free action without provoking
an attack of opportunity. If it gets a hold, it can
constrict.
Constrict (Ex): A killer crab hybrid deals
1d6+2 on a successful grapple check, in addition
to normal pincer damage.
Launch Chestburster (Ex): In a bizarre
nurse-like fashion, killer crab hybrids gestate two
other chestbursters upon reaching adulthood.
They are stored in the upper carapace of the
killer crab hybrid until it deems death is near (at
least half hit points), whereupon it will "launch"
them at targets. The two chestbursters are
allowed to make two separate melee attacks as
they make the leap, up to 30 feet away.

Mantis hybrids are not active hunters.
Rather, they stand very still, waiting for prey to

Alien Hybrid, Night Cougar
Spawned on a planet where cougar-like
beasts roamed wild, this ferocious predator
combines the most dangerous traits of Aliens
with the killing skills of a great cat. It appears as
a jet black Alien on all fours with bright red
markings on its legs and arms. There is another
cat-like hybrid that is sand colored in
appearance and known as a panther hybrid. It
is otherwise identical to the night cougar.
COMBAT
The speed and stealth that make cougars so
dangerous makes a night cougar even more
frightening. Its most disturbing attack is the
facehugger it carries on its back.
Launch Facehugger (Ex): In a bizarre
nurse-like fashion, a night cougar "delivers" a
facehugger to its prey. The facehugger rides the
back of the night cougar until it incapacitates a
host, whereupon it launches the facehugger.
The facehugger makes a separate melee attack
it leaps, up to 30 feet away. Upon launching its
facehugger, the night cougar dies 1d4 rounds
later.
Alien Hybrid, Rhino

Source: Alien Toys
Rhino hybrids are created from rhynth, rhino-
like herbivores native to the planet Ryushi.
Rhynth are large quadrupeds that have two
horns on their snout, travel in herds, and are
domesticated just like cows. Rhino hybrids are
similar in appearance, although their heads have
the typical Alien appearance. They do not
possess tails and walk on all fours, which make
rhino hybrids slightly less deadly than their
humanoid counterparts.
COMBAT
Powerful Charge (Ex): A rhino hybrid
typically begins a battle by charging at an
opponent, lowering its head to bring its mighty
horns into play. In addition to the normal benefits
and hazards of a charge, this allows the beast to
make a single gore attack with a +9 attack
bonus that deals 4d6+20 points of damage.

Alien Hybrid, Terminator
These rare Alien hybrids are actually
advanced cybernetic organisms. Their hulking
size is augmented by Alien flesh surrounding a
titanium chassis. They appear as big blue
brutes with glowing red eyes, a small nose, a
maw full of fangs, and white claws on their
fingers and toes. They were formed by "crypto-
Terminators," cybernetic sleeper organisms
designed to bring back the glory days of Skynet.
For more information about Skynet and
Terminators, see Terminator: Future Fate.
COMBAT
At first glance, Alien hybrid Terminators
seem like mindless killing machines. In reality,
they are single-minded fighting force that is hell
bent on creating more of its kind to eventually
take over the universe. Alien hybrid Terminators
are smart enough to minimize casualties, even
sacrificing themselves for the good of the others.
It should be noted that despite their Alien
physiognomy, Alien hybrid Terminators are not
immune to acid.
Element Leech (Su): By touching any non-
organic surface for one standard action, an Alien
hybrid Terminator can drain an object of its
physical integrity and simultaneously heal itself.
This process causes 7d6 points of damage to
the object touched. The Alien hybrid Terminator
gains temporary hit points equal to the damage
dealt. However, it cant gain more than the
object's current hit points +10, which is enough
to destroy the object. The temporary hit points
disappear 1 hour later. The Alien hybrid
Terminator can use this ability once per round.
Alien hybrid Terminators use this ability to great
effect on ships and space stations by absorbing
bulkheads.

The queen does not fight. She has no ability
to move. If necessary, a team of workers and
Arcturian workers to haul her enormous bulk to

Harvester, Burrowing
Burrowing harvesters are large creatures that
live deep in the crust of Tartarus. Shaped like
an armadillo, harvesters use their massive front
claws and powerful snout for digging. Their
objective: to burrow to the surface, gorge itself
on organic matter, and store it in the burrower's
gut, to be regurgitated in its lair down below.
Harvesters operate in groups not dissimilar to
wolf packs, which makes them even more
dangerous.
COMBAT
When a harvester senses something edible
(that is, senses movement), it breaks to the
surface, crest first, and begins its attack. A
harvester's attack is not subtle; it charges,
overruns, or even rams its target.
Leap (Ex): A burrower can jump into the air
during combat. This allows it to make four claw
attacks instead of two, each with a +15 attack
bonus, but it cannot bite.
Harvester, Carrier
Source: Aliens Adventure Game
Similar to the burrowing harvest, carriers
have a tapered snout that only allows a rough
tongue to rasp in and out they are not
predators. They are, however, troop transports
of a sort, carrying in up to 12 drones that they
carry on their backs.
COMBAT
Carrier harvesters are entirely defensive.
Their purpose is to defend the lair, which they
patrol regularly. Upon sensing danger, a carrier
automatically releases all of its drones at once.
Release Drones (Ex): A carrier has 1d12
drones that it can spawn once every three
weeks.

Drones are not separate creatures, but semi-
sentient growths spawned from carrier
harvesters. Their sole purpose is to defend the
lair and attack smaller animals that burrowing
harvesters cannot reach. They live for only

Lacerta worms are native to Lacerta and
nearly wiped out the entire colony there. They
crawl off carrion and infest living hosts.
COMBAT
When first encountered, a Spot check (DC
15) must be made to avoid the worms entirely.
122 Aliens: Game Over
Harvester, Drone
COMBAT
Upon being released from the back of a
carrier, drones immediately bit everything that
moves.
Ferocity (Ex): A drone is such a tenacious
combatant that it continues to fight without
penalty even while disabled or dying.
Improved Grab (Ex): When a drone hits with
its bite, it attempts to start a grapple as a free
action without provoking an attack of
opportunity. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.
Constrict: A drone deals 1d6+2 on a
successful grapple check, in addition to the
grappling weapon's normal damage.
Locking Bite (Ex): If a drone hits with a bite
attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the
opponents body. The jaws actually ratchet down
and cannot be opened short of breaking the
mandibles. An attached drone is effectively
grappling its prey. The drone loses its Dexterity
bonus to Defense and has an Defense of 12, but
holds on with great tenacity. Drones have a +12
racial bonus on grapple checks. An attached
drone can be struck with a weapon or grappled
itself.
Lacerta Worm
If this check is failed, the Lacerta worm
penetrates the victim's skin.
Burrow (Ex): A Lacerta worm secretes an
anaesthetic when it bites. A burrowing worm can
be noticed if the victim succeeds at a Wisdom
check (DC 15). If successful, the victim sees
strange rippling beneath his skin. If failed, the
creature does not notice the worms.
A burrowing worm deals 2d6 points of
temporary Constitution damage each round. At
Constitution 0, the victim dies. The worms then
look for a new host. During the first two rounds,
a burrowing Lacerta worm can be killed by
applying fire to the infested skin or by cutting
open the infested skin with any slashing
weapon. Either method deals 2d6 points of
damage to the victim, but kills the worms. After
the second round, only surgery can kill the
worms as they burrow to the victims heart and
devour it (still dealing 2d6 points of temporary
Constitution damage each round).

Appearing as tall humanoids with elephant
like snouts wreathed in tentacles, these strange
beings, nicknamed "Space Jockeys," are an
ancient race. Their names are deceptive: they
are an extremely malevolent species bent on the
destruction of Aliens and conquering the
universe. Fortunately, space jockeys are
extremely rare. Only two have been
encountered to date the corpse of the pilot
carrying the Alien eggs being the first. The only
Space Jockey
encounter with a live space jockey nearly ended
with the Earth being terraformed to suit its
tastes. The Earth was saved when several
Synthetics were sent in to distract it as nuclear
missiles targeted the space jockey's ship. It is
possible that other space jockeys exist, but
certainly not in any large numbers or they would
have already conquered the universe.
COMBAT
Space jockeys are immensely strong,
capable of ripping a grown man in half with little
effort. They are also extremely gifted psionics,
capable of tearing lesser minds apart. Armed
with advanced technology, they are terrible
opponents.
Psionics (Sp): A space jockey can use the
following psionic powers at will, as though
th
manifested by a 10 -level psion (save DC = 10
+ Psion's key ability modifier + power level):
brain lock, demoralize, domination, greater
telempathic projection, lesser domination,
mindlink, lesser mindlink, suggestion, levitate.
Empathy (Sp): A space jockey can
communicate empathically with any creature
within 100 feet.
Alien Phobia (Sp): Space jockeys loathe
Aliens but fear them more than anything else in
the universe. A space jockey suffers a 4
morale penalty to all saving throws against Alien
attacks.

Synthetics come in more forms than the
Service Synthetic. While the Service Synthetic is
most common, there are a wide variety of other
Synthetics that exist for a variety of purposes.
Synthetics possess the following traits:
Construct: Immune to mind-influencing
effects, poison, disease, and similar
effects. Not subject to subdual damage,
ability damage, energy drain, or death
from massive damage. If a Synthetic is
wearing a disguise, more than 10 points
of damage in a single hit will reveal its
true nature.
Healing: Constructs cannot heal, they
must be repaired.
Personal Communicator: The Synthetic
can digitally communicate securely and
encrypted with any other Synthetic. A
backup laser communication system is
installed for secure line of sight
communication between units and an
alternate physical cable plug exists to link
two units via high-speed data cable.
Synthetics might have some, all, or none of
the followings upgrades:
AI Module: The Synthetic can learn,
which allows it to use any skill untrained
that a living being could.
Biosynthetic Conversion: The
Synthetic looks like a person with flesh
and skin.
Combat Programming: The Synthetic
can gain the benefits of having a class.
Darkvision: The Synthetic can see in the
dark up to 60 feet.
Enhanced Dexterity: The Synthetic is
faster than usual and receives a +6 racial
bonus to Dexterity.
Enhanced Strength: The Synthetic has
reinforced servos and musculature to
increase its strength. It receives a +6
Strength bonus.
Internal Audio Sensors: The Synthetic
receives a +2 bonus to Listen checks.
Improved Visual Sensors: The
Synthetic receives a +2 bonus to Search
and Spot checks.
124 Aliens: Game Over
Synthetics
Integral Laser Sight: The Synthetic has
various sensors and laser precision
optics mounted inside a "head" unit. The
Synthetic receives a +1 bonus on all
ranged attack rolls.
Language Module: The Synthetic can
speak and write a language.
Motion Sensors: The Synthetic gets a
+2 bonus to Spot checks.
Multiscanner: The Synthetic has a
Geiger counter that can detect radiation
within 500 feet, a chemical sniffer that
can analyze raw materials within 100
feet, a magnetic/spectromic array that
can analyze material within 100 feet, and
an electrical sensor that can identify life
forms within 100 feet.
Natural Armor (+2): The Synthetic has
extra armor that bestows a +2 bonus to
Defense.
Natural Armor (+4): The Synthetic has
extra armor that bestows a +4 bonus to
Defense.
Natural Armor (+6): The Synthetic has
extra armor that bestows a +6 bonus to
Defense.
Reinforced Construction (10/-): The
Synthetic gains damage resistance of
10/-.
Reinforced Construction (5/-): The
Synthetic gains damage resistance 5/-.
Sensory Recorder: The Synthetic can
store up to 100 hours of recordings for
later reference.
Telescopic Vision: The Synthetic
suffers a 1 penalty on Spot checks for
every 100 feet of distance instead of
every 10 feet.
Tracks: Its tracked multiple wheels give
the Synthetic superior grip and
maneuverability over loose rubble and
uneven terrain. The Synthetic suffers no
movement penalties for poor surface
conditions.

Developed by Dr. Mayakovsky, these
Synthetics are indistinguishable from Aliens.
They are equipped with artificial pheromone
secreters that make them "smell" just like Aliens.
This doesn't make them any more appealing to
human beings, who find them incredibly
unnerving.
COMBAT
Synthetic, Alien
Alien Synthetics are extremely well suited for
combat, if only because they are modeled after
terrifying killing machines. Like all Synthetics,
Alien Synthetics cannot normally harm human
beings. They can kill Aliens, but are usually
loathe doing so as it ruins their cover.
Tongue Strike (Ex): If an Alien Synthetic hits
with both claw attacks, the alien may make a
special bite, using its inner mandibles. This
attack is instead of the regular bite and allows a
Reflex save (DC 15). This attack inflicts 4d6+8
hit points of damage. By leaving the inner
mouth closed, subdual damage may be done
instead of regular, allowing the capture of live
hosts.
Trip (Ex): An Alien Synthetic that hits with its
tail attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+3
check modifier) as a free action without making
a touch attack or provoking an attack of
opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent
cannot react to trip the Alien Synthetic.
Improved grab (Ex): To use this ability, the
Alien Synthetic must hit with a claw attack. It
can then attempt to start a grapple as a free
action without provoking an attack of
opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it
establishes a hold and can use its tongue strike
ability.
Construct Laser (Ex): Some Alien
synthetics are capable of producing a small
laser by carefully disassembling themselves.
This process takes 1d4 rounds and the laser is
otherwise exactly like the light laser (q.v.). The
Alien Synthetic knows how to wield the laser and
can use it to good effect in combat. Aliens
modified in this fashion have the Personal
Firearms Proficiency instead of the Run feat.
Pheromone Collar (Ex): All Alien synthetics
are equipped with pheromone collars that last
for six hours before requiring recharging.

 ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS
Michael Tresca
Michael "Talien" Tresca is a writer, communicator, speaker, artist, and gamer. He has an 11-year-old
D&D role-playing campaign, Welstar, which is one of the six worlds in RetroMUD and where many of his
short stories take place. Michael has published three D20 modules: "Tsar Rising", "All the King's Men,"
and "The Dancing Hut" from MonkeyGod Enterprises. He has written numerous supplements, including
"Frost and Fur" and "Abyss," also from MonkeyGod Enterprises, "Mercenaries: Born of Blood" from
Otherworld Creations, and "Combat Missions" from Paradigm Concepts. Michael has also contributed to
"Relics" from AEG and "The Iron Kingdoms Campaign Guide" from Privateer Press. Michael has also
written magazine articles for Spectre Press' Survival Kit series, Dragon Magazine, Scrollworks, and D20
Weekly. He has written a multitude of reviews of role-playing and computer games for RPG.net,
Gamers.com, Allgame.com, and Talien and Maleficent's Bazaar. Michael has presented at various
panels, including Dragon*Con, I-Con, and Bakuretsucon. When he's not writing, Michael can be found as
his alter ego, Talien, on RetroMUD as an administrator. Michael lives in Connecticut with his wife, who is
an editor, and his cat, who is fluent in English.

Scott Middlebrook
Scott Middlebrook runs the Alien Universe Timeline as well as the Alien Encyclopedia. It's been a long
time since Scott indulged in Star Wars, Call of Cthulhu, Robotech, or AD&D, but he is excited about this
collaboration. Scott's two sites are some of the most thorough analyses of Aliens on the Internet.

Dan McAllister
Dan McAllister included few physical descriptions and no images in his original Alien conversions. He
assumed anyone interested in his d20 conversions has seen or has access to the movies, thus knows
what the things look like. If you plan to run these creatures, Dan encourages you to buy Aliens at least,
the other three movies if you can afford them. They are a great reference. Dan's conversion efforts are
an attempt to fit the Aliens to D&D, not an attempt to fit D&D to a quasi-sci-fi universe containing the
creatures. He tried to keep them true to the movies while being challenging and interesting and fitting as
well as possible within the D&D3e rules. Keeping this in mind should answer any questions as to Why
the !@#$ did he do THAT?. Dan welcomes discussion, suggestions, or comments on this work. He
hopes other players enjoy the creatures and would like to know of any modifications that others feel need
to be made. Dan looks forward to see how people use his adaptation.

Summary
Military specialists investigating the deaths of
scientists in the Antarctic discover a shape
shifting alien is responsible and engage in a final
struggle of survival of the fittest.
Campaign in Brief
An American scientific expedition to the
frozen wastes of the Antarctic is suddenly
disrupted by the arrival of a husky, pursued by
two Norwegians in a helicopter. The
Norwegians fire indiscriminately at the dog. The
team members defend themselves and shoot
back, killing the Norwegians.
It doesn't take long before the Thing (in dog
form) attacks the team. One by one, they are
picked off and replaced by Thing duplicates.
As the expedition explores the Norwegian
camp, the history of the Thing comes together.
Centuries ago - an alien spaceship had crash-
landed in the Antarctic. The pilot was thrown
clear and eventually froze in the ice. But the
Norwegians uncovered it. And then they thawed
it out.
The Thing is a cellular colony that imitates
other beings. It has the ability to alter its own cell
structure to that of a consumed organism, and
can thus imitate a victim almost perfectly.
If the Thing were to ever reach civilization, it
could replicate so quickly that in a matter of
days, it would duplicate every living being on
Earth. It's up to the PCs to stop it...before the
Thing stops them.
-- Palmer to Childs, The Thing
The Role of the Heroes
A military team has been sent to discover
what happened to the 12 men of U.S. Outpost
31. They must brave the chilling cold, a burnt
out wreckage, and whatever still lurks in the
depths of Outpost 31.
The trail may eventually lead to beyond the
Antarctic. Be it land, sea, or air, the heroes are
the last defense against a being that is part
chameleon, part virus. Should it spread,
humanity is doomed.
The PCs are professionals. But they are
utterly unprepared for a xeno-biological threat.
They are soldiers, mechanics, servicemen of all
stripes who are disciplined and good at what
they do. They will need all those skills to
combat a being that has no comprehendible
biology.
Department 7
An encounter with extra-terrestrials and a
murder investigation in the arctic is simply too
much to pass up. The entire team might be
formed of Department 7 special agents, or
alternately, one or two are undercover
accompanying a supposedly straightforward
investigation. Whatever the case, Department 7
is interested and, if at all possible, wants
samples.
If the PCs aren't careful, they may end up
being the sample.
Theme
Truth. Fear. Paranoia.
The world can be a very inhospitable place.
At Outpost 31, the men who were stationed
there were confined to tight, cramped spaces.
When it's 40 below outside, staying warm makes
plenty of sense.
The Thing - 5
 But there's something else trapped inside
too. Something violent, deadly a predator.
Worse, it can take on the form of anyone else.
And it needs to stay warm too.
The Thing: Who Goes There? Is as much a
science fiction game as it is a horror game.
Why?
There is nowhere to run. Civilization is 100
miles away, with nothing but ice and snow in
between. Radios are out due to the snowstorm,
transportation is non-existent when the weather
kicks up (and it always kicks up at the worst
times), and modern comforts only extend as far
as the base itself. Nothing can be imported and
nothing leaves until winter ends.
There is nowhere to hide. Under cramped
conditions, space is at a premium. Similar to a
space station or a submarine, there are no wide-
open indoor spaces. The only large space is the
outdoors and that's not a place any living Thing
wants to be in during the winter.
And it's very, very cold outside. It's not
just cold, it's freezing. A man outside,
unprepared, can freeze to death in minutes.
The wind blows constantly. If a door opens,
snow blasts through the opening. Men return
with frost on their beards. Human beings
weren't meant to live in the Antarctic.
It's very simple: kill the Thing before it kills
you. The only problem is determining who is a
Thing and who isn't.
Background
A long time ago, an alien presence crash-
landed in the Antarctic. Whether it was an alien
pilot, a bioengineered weapon, or a confused
passenger, no one knows for sure. But
whatever the Thing is, it crawled out of its ship
only to freeze in a block of ice a few hundred
feet from the crash.
And there it lay, for thousands of years,
forgotten and undiscovered. Until the
Norwegians found it.
They didn't quite know what they discovered
of course. With suspicions running high in the
1980s and Antarctica the last disputed territory
amongst so many civilized nations, the
Norwegians weren't about to share their
discovery with anyone.
But ultimately, their discovery shared more
with them.
The Thing took over the compound, one by
one. No one knows exactly what happened, but
6 - The Thing
by the time the men of Outpost 31 encountered
the remaining two Norwegian scientists, they
were out for blood.
The Thing had transformed into a sled dog.
It seemed innocent especially in comparison to
the gun-toting Norwegians who fired upon it with
abandon. The Outpost 31 crew fired back in
self-defense, killing the only people who could
tell them just how much danger they were really
in. With the Antarctic winter descending upon
the camp, contact became sporadic. Nobody
was going anywhere.
It didn't take long for the Thing to begin
sowing distrust amongst the survivors. It tried to
escape as sled dogs but was tracked down and
captured. Fortunately, the American scientists
were capable enough to discover the real threat
if the Thing ever made it to civilization, it could
take over every life form on the planet in 27,000
hours.
Unfortunately, all those deaths garnered the
attention of Gen, Inc., a secret government
agency determined to harness the power of the
Thing as a biological weapon. They thought
they could control it. They were wrong.
The Thing's gotten further than the arctic. It's
showed up in a few, sparsely populated places.
And at every turn, humanity MacReady has
been there to put it down. But he can't keep it
up forever. After all, he's only human

3 Days Later: A Norwegian science
crew unearths The Thing (The Thing).
1 Day Later: The Thing kills all but two
of the remaining crew of a Norwegian
outpost (The Thing).
1 Day Later: The twelve-man crew of
the U.S. Antarctic Research Outpost
#31 encounters the Thing (The Thing).
5 Days Later: The Thing begins
constructing a spacecraft and infects
several of the Outpost #31 crew (The
Thing).
1 Day Later: MacReady supposedly
destroys the Thing. The only two
survivors, MacReady and Childs, wait
for the cold to kill them (The Thing).
2 Days Later: MacReady wakes up
aboard an ice-bound whaling vessel
after being carried out onto the ice floe
by Childs. MacReady steals the ship's
 helicopter to return to Outpost #31,
intent on burning the remaining corpses
of the Thing. There, MacReady
encounters Commander Erskine's Navy
SEAL team. The Thing infects the
SEAL team, crashing the helicopter and
leaving MacReady and Erskine to care
for the survivors (The Thing from
Another World).
1 Day Later: Erskine and MacReady
make it to an Argentine outpost, only to
discover that the Thing has infected
Erskine. MacReady and Childs gave
chase even as the Thing infiltrates a
submarine (designation D-4-N). In a
last-ditch effort to destroy the
submarine, MacReady blows the sub's
hatches. Only MacReady makes it to
the surface (The Thing from Another
World).
1 Day Later: MacReady is rescued by
the Argentines and evacuated to a
research station in Tierra del Fuego.
The Thing tags along and begins to
spread to new bodies (Climate of Fear).
1 Day Later: Childs reappears at the
base in the company of a U.S. Navy
combat team. A test designed to flush
out those infected by the Thing reveals
that MacReady is infected (Climate of
Fear).
1 Day Later: Childs turns out to be the
Thing. The entire camp's crew is
infected except for Sgt. Agapito, who is
forced to chop off his own arm to avoid
becoming infected. The Thing sets
about constructing an aircraft of some
sort. MacReady, Dr. Viale, and Sgt.
Agapito set the hangar where the
aircraft resides on fire, only to awaken a
massive Thing. The Thing beast is
destroyed by a plasma strike, leaving
Sgt. Agapito, MacReady, and Dr. Viale
to tend to their wounds (Climate of
Fear).
1 Week Later: A U.S. Search and
Rescue team led by Sgt. Blake explores
the burned remains of Outpost #31.
They discover that parts of the Thing
have not only been recovered but are
being bred as a biological weapon by
Gen, Inc. (The Thing).

Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Engineer gets a
bonus feat. The bonus feat must be selected
from the following list, and the Engineer must
meet all the prerequisites of the feat to select it.
Builder, Cautious, Combat Expertise,
Educated, Gearhead, Personal Firearms
Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Studious.
Engineering Mastery
When making a Repair skill check, an
Engineer of 4th level or higher may take 10 even
if stress and distractions would normally prevent
him or her from doing so.
Mastercraft
At 5th level, the Engineer becomes adept at
creating mastercraft objects. He of she applies
the mastercraft ability to one of his or her Craft
skills (electronic or mechanical). From this point
on, he or she can build mastercraft objects using
that skill.
With Craft (electronic), the Engineer can
build electronic devices. With Craft
(mechanical), the Engineer can build mechanical
devices, including weapons.
On average, it takes twice as long to build a
mastercraft object as it does to build an ordinary
object of the same type. The cost to build a
mastercraft object is equal to the purchase DC
for the components (see the appropriate Craft
skill description) + the bonus provided by the
mastercraft feature. A Engineer can add the
mastercraft feature to an existing ordinary object
by making the Wealth check and then making
the Craft check as though he or she were
constructing the object from scratch.
In addition to the Wealth check, the Engineer
must also pay a cost in experience points equal
to 25 x his or her Engineer level x the bonus
provided by the mastercraft feature. The XP
must be paid before making the Craft check. If
the expenditure of these XP would drop the
Engineer to below the minimum needed for his
or her current level, then the XP cant be paid
and the Engineer cant use the mastercraft
ability until he or she gains enough additional XP
to remain at his or her current level after the
expenditure is made.
When successfully completed, a mastercraft
object provides a +1 bonus to its quality
compared to an ordinary object of the same
type. All weapons and armor, and certain other
types of equipment, such as computers and
electronic devices, can be constructed as
mastercraft objects.
At 8th level, the Engineer can add the
mastercraft ability to another Craft skill, or he or
she can improve his or her ability in the skill
selected at 5th level, so that his or her
mastercraft objects provide a +2 bonus.
At 10th level, the Engineer adds another +1
bonus to his or her mastercraft ability. If the
Engineer focuses his or her ability on one Craft
skill, his or her mastercraft objects now provide
a +3 bonus. If the Engineer already has the
ability for both Craft skills, he or she chooses
which one to improve to a +2 bonus.
The Craft DC for a mastercraft object is the
same as for a normal object of the same type,
as described in the Craft skill, with the following
modification: For a +1 object, add +3 to the Craft
DC; for a +2 object, add +5 to the Craft DC; and
for a +3 object, add +10 to the Craft DC.

Field Scientist
Field scientists include biologists, geologists,
and meteorologists all important crewmembers
when conducting research in inhospitable
terrain. Field scientists tend to be very
specialized in their field study and reluctant to
stray outside it biologists make poor medics.
On the other hand, they are survivors first and
foremost and will do whatever is necessary to
help their team survive.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Field Scientist, a
character must fulfill the following criteria.
Skills: 6 ranks in either Craft (chemical) or
Craft (electronic), plus 6 ranks in Knowledge
(earth and life sciences), Knowledge (physical
sciences), or Knowledge (technology), plus 6
ranks in Research.

Smart Defense
A Field Scientist applies his or her
Intelligence bonus and his or her Dexterity
bonus to his or her Defense. Any situation that
would deny the Field Scientist his or her
Dexterity bonus to Defense also denies the
Intelligence bonus.
Scientific Improvisation
At 2nd level, a Field Scientist gains the ability
to improvise solutions using common objects
and scientific know-how. This ability lets the
Field Scientist create objects in a dramatic
situation quickly and cheaply, but that have a
limited duration.
By spending 1 action point and combining
common objects with a Craft check that
corresponds to the function desired, the Field
Scientist can build a tool or device to deal with
any situation. The DC for the Craft check is
equal to 5 + the purchase DC of the object that
most closely matches the desired function.
Only objects that can normally be used more
than once can be improvised.
Electronic devices, special tools, weapons,
mechanical devices, and more can be built with
scientific improvisation. It takes a full-round
action to make an object with scientific
improvisation. The object, when put into use,
lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Field
Scientists class level, or until the end of the
current encounter, before it breaks down. It cant
be repaired.
Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Field Scientist
gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must be
selected from the following list, and the Field
Scientist must meet all the prerequisites of the
feat to select it.
Archaic Weapons Proficiency, Attentive,
Cautious, Combat Expertise, Educated,

making a skill check using one of these skills,
the Field Scientist may take 10 even if stress
and distractions would normally prevent him or
her from doing so.
Minor Breakthrough
Upon attaining 5th level, a Field Scientist
receives credit for a minor scientific
breakthrough that earns him or her the
recognition of her peers. The Field Scientist

At 10th level, a Medic can revive a character
reduced to 10 hit points or lower. If the Medic is
able to administer aid within 3 minutes of the
characters death, he or she can make a Treat
Injury check. The DC for this check is 40, and
the Medic cant take 10 or take 20. If the check
succeeds, the dead character can make a

Pilot
Pilots are tough mothers. Any pilot that can
fly in the Antarctic has probably flown under fire.
Any pilot who has flown under fire has been in a
war or four. And any pilot who can keep a bird
steady while being shot at probably spits nails
and guzzles motor oil. Pilots are an ornery,
unpredictable lot, but they know how to use
firepower when pressed.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Pilot, a character
must fulfill the following criteria.
Skills: Pilot 6 ranks, and either Craft
(electronic) 6 ranks or Craft (mechanical) 6
ranks.

Grenade Launcher (M79) Pistol (Beretta 92F)

This simple weapon is a single-shot grenade
launcher. It fires 40mm grenades (see under
Grenades and Explosives, below). These
grenades look like huge bullets an inch and a
half across; they cant be used as hand
grenades, and the M79 cant shoot hand
grenades. Attacking with an M79 is identical to
throwing an explosive: you make a ranged
attack against a specific 5-foot square (instead
of targeting a person or creature). The
differences between using the M79 and throwing
an explosive lie in the range of the weapon
(which far exceeds the distance a hand grenade
can be thrown) and the fact that the M79
requires a weapon proficiency to operate without

In addition, a WP grenade creates a cloud of
smoke. Any creature within the area has total

needs a computer to make Computer Use
checks and to make Research checks involving
the Internet. Desktops are bulky but powerful;
these machines are common on desks
everywhere.
Detonator
A detonator activates an explosive, causing it
to explode. The device consists of an electrically
activated blasting cap and some sort of device
that delivers the electrical charge to set off the
blasting cap. Connecting a detonator to an
explosive requires a Demolitions check (DC 15).
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 wired detonator is the simplest form
of detonator. The blasting cap connects by a
wire to an activation device, usually a small
pistol-grip device that the user squeezes. The
detonator comes with 100 feet of wire, but
longer lengths can be spliced in with a
Demolitions check (DC 10).
Digital Audio Recorder
These tiny recorders (about the size of a
deck of playing cards) can record up to eight
hours of audio and can be connected to a
computer to download the digital recording.
Digital audio recorders dont have extremely
sensitive microphones; they only pick up sounds
within 10 feet.
Fatigues
Called battle dress uniforms (or BDUs) in
the United States Army, these are worn by
hardened veterans and wannabes alike. Theyre
rugged, comfortable, and provide lots of
pockets. They are also printed in camouflage
patterns: woodland, desert, winter (primarily
white), urban (gray patterned), and black are
available. When worn in an appropriate setting,
fatigues grant a +2 bonus on Hide checks.
Fire Extinguisher
This portable apparatus uses a chemical
spray to extinguish small fires. The typical fire
20 - The Thing
extinguisher ejects enough extinguishing
chemicals to put out a fire in a 10-foot-by-10-foot
area as a move action. It contains enough
material for two such uses.
Flare
This disposable plastic stick, when activated,
uses a chemical reaction to create light for 6
hours. It illuminates an area only 5 feet in radius.
Once activated, it cant be turned off or reused.
The listed purchase DC is for a pack of 5 sticks.
Flashlight
This heavy metal flashlight projects a beam
30 feet long and 15 feet across at its end. It is a
professional, heavy-duty model, rugged enough
to withstand the rigors of modern adventuring.
Flashlights negate penalties for darkness within
their illuminated areas.
Medical Kit
About the size of a large tackle box, this is
the sort of kit commonly carried by military
medics and civilian EMTs. It contains a wide
variety of medical supplies and equipment. A
medical kit can be used to treat a dazed,
unconscious, or stunned character, to provide
long-term care, to restore hit points, to treat a
diseased or poisoned character, or to stabilize a
dying character (see the Treat Injury skill). Skill
checks made without a medical kit incur a 4
penalty.
Parka
This winter coat grants the wearer a +2
equipment bonus on Fortitude saves made to
resist the effects of cold weather.
Scope
A scope 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. A standard scope increases the
range increment for a ranged weapon by one-
half (multiply by 1.5). However, to use a scope a
character must spend an attack action acquiring
his or her target. If the character changes
targets or otherwise lose sight of the target, he
or she must reacquire the target to gain the
benefit of the scope.
 Madness
"You think I'm crazy? Fine! Most of you don't know what's going on but I'm damn well sure some of
you do!"
In campaigns using these rules, characters
gain a new attribute called Sanity. This statistic
functions like an ability score in some ways, but it
has its own unique mechanics that represent the
characters descent from a stable and healthy
mental state into confusion, dementia, and mental
instability. As a character encounters monsters,
witnesses horrible acts, masters forbidden
knowledge, or casts spells, his Sanity score, and
his corresponding ability to function as a normal
member of his race, deteriorates. This gradual
descent is balanced in part by the powers that
characters gain each time they overcome a horrific
foe or grow in skill and expertise, but even as
those characters grow in power, they know or fear
that an even greater peril lies aheadthe threat of
becoming permanently insane.
What is Sanity?
Sanity is the natural mental state of ordinary
life. Normal mental balance is endangered when
characters confront horrors, entities, or activities
that are shocking, unnatural, and bewildering.
Such encounters cause a character to lose points
from his Sanity score, which in turn risks
temporary, indefinite, or permanent insanity.
Mental stability and lost Sanity points can be
restored, up to a point, but psychological scars
may remain.
Insanity occurs if too many Sanity points are
lost in too short a time. Insanity does not
necessarily occur if Sanity points are low, but a
lower Sanity score makes some forms of insanity
more likely to occur after a character experiences
an emotional shock. The characters Sanity may
be regained after a few minutes, recovered after a
few months, or lost forever.
A character may regain Sanity points, and even
increase her Sanity point maximum. However,
increasing a characters ranks in the Knowledge
(arcane lore) skill always lowers her maximum
Sanity by an equal amount.
- Blair, The Thing
Sanity Points
Sanity points measure the stability of a
characters mind. This attribute provides a way to
define the sanity inherent in a character, the most
stability a character can ever have, and the current
level of sane rationality that a character preserves,
even after numerous shocks and horrid
revelations.
Sanity is measured in three ways: starting
Sanity, current Sanity, and maximum Sanity.
Starting and current Sanity cannot exceed
maximum Sanity.
Starting Sanity
A characters starting Sanity equals his
Wisdom score multiplied by 5. This score
represents a starting characters current Sanity, as
well as the upper limit of Sanity that can be
restored by the Treat Injury skill (see The Treat
Injury Skill and Mental Treatment, later in this
section). After creation, a characters current
Sanity often fluctuates considerably and might never
again match starting Sanity. A change in a
characters Wisdom score changes his starting
Sanity in terms of what treatment with the Treat
Injury skill can restore. Current Sanity, however,
does not change if Wisdom rises or falls.
Current Sanity
A characters current Sanity score fluctuates
almost as often as (and sometimes much more
often than) his hit points.
Making a Sanity Check: When a character
encounters a gruesome, unnatural, or supernatural
situation, the GM may require the player to make a
Sanity check using percentile dice (d%). The check
succeeds if the result is equal to or less than the
characters current Sanity.
On a successful check, the character either
loses no Sanity points or loses only a minimal
amount. Potential Sanity loss is usually shown as
two numbers or die rolls separated by a slash, such
as 0/1d4. The number before the slash indicates the
The Thing - 21
number of Sanity points lost if the Sanity check
succeeds (in this case, none); the number after the
slash indicates the number of Sanity points lost if
the Sanity check fails (in this case, between 1 and
4 points).
A characters current Sanity is also at risk when
the character reads certain books, learns certain
types of spells, and attempts to cast them. These
Sanity losses are usually automatic (no Sanity
check is allowed); the character that chooses to
undertake the activity forfeits the indicated number
of Sanity points.
In most cases, a new Sanity-shaking
confrontation requires a new Sanity check.
However, the GM always gets to decide when
characters make Sanity checks. Confronting several
horribly mangled corpses at one time or in rapid
succession may call for just one Sanity check, while
the same corpses encountered singly over the
course of several game hours may require separate
checks.
Going Insane: Losing more than a few Sanity
points may cause a character to go insane, as
described below. If a characters Sanity score drops
to 0 or lower, she begins the quick slide into
permanent insanity. Each round, the character
loses another point of Sanity. Once a characters
Sanity score reaches -10, she is hopelessly,
incurably insane. The Treat Injury skill can be
used to stabilize a character on the threshold of
permanent insanity; see The Treat Injury Skill and
Mental Treatment, below, for details.
A GMs description of a Sanity-shaking
situation should always justify the threat to a
characters well being. Thus, a horde of frothing
rats is horrifying, while a single ordinary rat usually
is not (unless the character has an appropriate
phobia, of course).

the dark creatures at the edges of reality. Once
gained, this horrible knowledge is never forgotten,
and the character consequently surrenders mental
equilibrium. A characters Sanity weakens as his
comprehension of these hidden truths increases.
Such is the way of the universe.
A characters current Sanity can never be
higher than 99 minus the characters ranks in the
Knowledge (arcane lore) skill. This number (99
minus Knowledge [arcane lore] ranks) is the
characters maximum Sanity.
Loss of Sanity
Characters ordinarily lose Sanity in a few types
of circumstances: when encountering something
unimaginable, when suffering a severe shock,
after casting a spell or when learning a new spell,
when being affected by a certain type of magic or
a particular spell, or when reading a forbidden
tome.
Encountering the Unimaginable
When people perceive creatures and entities of
unspeakable horror, this experience costs them
some portion of their minds, since such creatures
are intrinsically discomforting and repellent. We
never lose awareness of their slimy, fetid, alien
nature. In this category, we can include
supernatural events or agents not always
recognized as specifically devoted to these dark
gods, such as hauntings, zombies, vampires,
curses, and so on.
Table: Sanity Loss from Creatures provides
some default Sanity loss values for encountering

Severe Shocks
A shocking sight of a more mundane nature
can also cost Sanity points. Severe shocks include
witnessing an untimely or violent death,
experiencing personal mutilation, losing social
position, being the victim of treachery, or whatever
else the Game Master decides is sufficiently
extreme. The following list gives some examples of
severe shocks, and the Sanity loss each one
provokes.

Getting Used to Awfulness
Never underestimate the ability of the
sentient mind to adapt, even to the most horrific
experiences Reading and rereading the same bit
of disturbing text or seeing the same horrible
image over and over eventually provokes no further
loss of Sanity. Within a reasonable interval of play,
usually a single session of the game, characters
should not lose more Sanity points for seeing
monsters of a particular sort than the maximum
possible points a character could lose from seeing
one such monster. For instance, the Sanity loss
for seeing a single human zombie is 1/1d6
Thus, in the same game day or in the same play
session, no character should lose more than 6
Sanity points for seeing any number of zombies.
Keep in mind that the interpretation of reasonable
interval must vary by GM and situation. When it
feels right, the GM should rule that the horror is
renewed and points must be lost again.
Learning or casting spells never becomes a
normal occurrence. No matter how many times a
character casts a spell, no matter what the time
interval between castings may be, the Sanity loss
is always the same. This point is also true for
anything that a character does willingly. For
example, if brutally murdering a friend costs 2/1d10
Sanity, this loss is incurred each time, even if the
character loses the maximum possible points (10)
after the first such murder he commits.
Sanity Resistance
Each character has a Sanity resistance equal to
his character level + his Wisdom modifier. This
number is the amount of Sanity loss a character
can ignore when he encounters a creature that
requires a Sanity check.
Insane Insight
Sometimes, a little insanity goes a long way.
The character must make a DC15 Wisdom
check to have a burst of insane insight that
leads him to "think like the crazy people" he
could understand how demonic forces work,
comprehend the goals of a serial killer, or figure
out how to open one of those child-proof
medicine bottles.
Types of Insanity
Character insanity is induced by a swift
succession of shocking experiences or ghastly
revelations, events usually connected with dark
gods, creatures from the Outer Planes, or powerful
spell casting. Horrifying encounters can result in
one of three states of mental unbalance:
temporary, indefinite, and permanent insanity.
The first two, temporary insanity and indefinite
insanity, can be cured. The third, permanent
insanity, results when a characters Sanity points
are reduced to -10 or lower. This condition cannot be
cured.
Temporary Insanity
Whenever a character loses Sanity points
equal to one-half her Wisdom score from a single
episode of Sanity loss, she has experienced
enough of a shock that the GM must ask for a
Sanity check. If the check fails, the character
realizes the full significance of what she saw or
experienced and goes temporarily insane. If the
check succeeds, the character does not go insane,
but she may not clearly remember what she
experienced (a trick the mind plays to protect
itself).
Temporary insanity might last for a few minutes
or a few days. Perhaps the character acquires a
phobia or fetish befitting the situation, faints,
becomes hysterical, or suffers nervous twitches, but
she can still respond rationally enough to run
away or hide from a threat.

24 - The Thing
 The state of indefinite insanity is
encompassing and incapacitating. For instance,
a schizophrenic may be able to walk the streets
while babbling and gesticulating, find
rudimentary shelter, and beg for enough food to
survive, but most of the business of the mind
has departed into itself: She cannot fully interact
with friends, family, and acquaintances.
Conversation, cooperation, and all sense of
personal regard have vanished from her psyche.
It is possible for characters with indefinite
insanity to continue to be played as active
characters, depending on the form their
madness takes. The character may still attempt
to stumble madly through the rest of an
adventure. However, with her weakened grasp
on reality, she is most likely a danger to herself
and others.
As a general rule, a character suffering
from indefinite insanity should be removed from
active play until she recovers. At the GMs
discretion, the player of the character might be
allowed to use a temporary character until the
end of the story. Whether this stand-in
character is an incidental NPC in the
adventure, a character of the same level as the
rest of the group, one or two levels below the
st
rest of the characters, or even a 1 -level
character, is up to the GM. Different GMs have
different ways of handling this transition.
If a character goes indefinitely insane near
the end of an adventure, the GM may decide to
set the next adventure to begin after the insane
character has recovered.
Characters suffering from indefinite insanity
are in limbo, unable to help themselves or
others. The Treat Injury skill can be used to
restore Sanity points during this period, but the
underlying insanity remains.
After recovery, a victim retains definite
traces of madness. For example, even though a
character knows he is no longer insane, she
might be deathly afraid of going to sleep if her
insanity manifested itself in the form of
terrifying nightmares. The character is in control
of her actions, but the experience of insanity has
changed her, perhaps forever.

Permanent Insanity
A character whose Sanity score falls to -10
goes permanently insane. The character
becomes an NPC under the control of the Game
Master.
A character with permanent insanity may be
reduced to a raving lunatic or may be outwardly
indistinguishable from a normal person; either
way, she is inwardly corrupted by the pursuit of
knowledge and power. Some of the most
dangerous cultists in the world are characters
who have become permanently insane, been
corrupted by forbidden knowledge, and gone
over to the other side.
A character might be driven permanently
insane by forces other than dark gods or
forbidden knowledge. In such cases, moral
corruption need not necessarily occur. The GM
might decide to consider different sorts of
permanent insanity, rolling randomly or choosing
from among the mental disorders on Table:
Random Indefinite Insanity, above.
A character that has gone permanently
insane can never be normal again (in some
campaigns, a permanently insane character can
be cured with the aid of powerful magic). She is
forever lost in her own world. This need not
mean a lifetime locked away from society,
merely that the character has retreated so far
from reality that normal mental functions can
never be restored. She might be able to lead,
within restricted bounds, a more or less normal
life if kept away from the stimulus that triggers
strong responses in her individual case. Yet a
relapse may come quickly. Her calm facade can
be destroyed in seconds if even the smallest
reminder of what it was that drove her mad
disturbs her fragile equilibrium. In any event,
the eventual fate of a permanently insane
character is a matter for individual Game
Masters and players to decide.
Gaining or Recovering Sanity
A characters Sanity score can increase
during the events of a campaign. Although a
characters Sanity score can never exceed 99
minus her Knowledge (arcane lore) ranks, her
maximum Sanity and current Sanity can exceed
her starting Sanity.
The Thing - 25
 Level Advancement: A characters
current Sanity can become higher than her
starting Sanity as a result of gained levels:
Whenever a character gains a new level, she
rolls 1d6 and adds the result to her current
Sanity. Some GMs may feel such self-
improvement to be antithetical to this variants
dark tone, and thus may not allow it. Others may
allow it if the player can roll over her
characters current Sanity points after the
character gains a level. Most Game Masters
should find the question to be of no
consequence, since characters continue to go
insane regardless of how many Sanity points
they gain. This is a point for players to be
aware of, but not to worry about.
Story Awards: The GM may decide to
award increases in characters current Sanity if
they foil a great horror, a demonic plan, or some
other nefarious enterprise.
Mental Therapy
To give useful mental therapy, a therapist
must have the Treat Injury skill. Intensive
treatment can return Sanity points to a troubled
character. However, Sanity points restored in
this manner can never cause the patients
Sanity score to exceed her starting Sanity or
maximum Sanity, whichever is lower. A
character can have only one healer at a time.
See The Treat Injury Skill and Mental
Treatment sidebar for a detailed description of
how this works.
Such treatment can also be used to help a
character snap out of an episode of temporary
insanity (for example, from an acute panic
attack). It does not speed recovery from
indefinite insanity, but it can strengthen a
character by increasing her Sanity points.
Recovery from indefinite insanity only
comes with time (typically, 1d6 months). It is not
dependent upon the characters Sanity points
and is not connected to them. A character can
be sane with 24 Sanity points and insane while
possessing 77 Sanity points.
Restoring Sanity with Magic
The way that Sanity loss and magic healing
interact can greatly affect the feel of your game.
At one extreme, the GM can rule that magic can
easily cure Sanity loss, in which case Sanity
becomes little more than a specialized version of
mental hit points that includes some neat side
effects (insanity). In such a case, characters
26 - The Thing
can usually restore themselves to full Sanity
with a day or two of rest and spell casting.
Restoration: If the caster chooses,
restoration can restore ids Sanity points per two
levels to the target creature (max 5d6j instead of
having its normal effect.
Restoration, Lesser: If the caster chooses,
lesser restoration can restore 1d4 Sanity points
to the subject instead of having its normal effect.
Chemical Treatments
In the real world, psychiatric drugs play a key
role in the modern treatment of many mental
disorders. Although psychiatric drugs were
administered to patients in the early part of the
th
20 century, only in the 1940s and later were they
broadly and consistently effective in treating the
symptoms of emotional trauma.
As long as a character can afford the correct
herbs and chemical substances and is able to
ingest them, the symptoms of indefinite insanity
can be ignored. Ingesting these chemical
substances and drugs does not make a
character immune or even particularly resistant
to further Sanity losses. A DC 25 Craft
(chemical) check is needed to accurately
prepare the correct drugs and administer the
correct dosage.
Long-term chemical treatment can restore
lost Sanity points, just as use of the Treat Injury
skill can. For each month the character takes an
accurately prescribed psychiatric medication, she
regains 1d3 Sanity points. As with treatment
through the Treat Injury skill, long-term drug
therapy can never raise a characters current
Sanity above her starting Sanity.
A character cannot regain Sanity from both
treatment with the Treat Injury skill and
chemical treatment in the same month.
Treatment of Insanity
Temporary insanity ends so quickly that
schedules of treatment are essentially pointless;
it runs its course soon enough that one merely
need protect a deranged character from further
upset or harm. On the other hand, treatment of
permanent insanity has no real meaning. By
definition, a permanently insane character never
recovers, no matter how good the therapist or
the facility. Thus, indefinite insanity is the only
form of mental illness that might be addressed
by intervention and treatment.
After 1d6 months, if undisturbed by further
trauma and with the agreement of the Game
Master, an indefinitely insane character finds
enough mental balance to reenter the world.
Three kinds of non-magical care may help the
character regain Sanity points during this
recovery period. When choosing among them,
the GM and player should consider the
characters resources, her friends and relatives,
and how wisely she has behaved in the past.
Private Care
The best care available is at home or in
some friendly place (perhaps a small church or
the home of a wealthy friend) where nursing can
be tender, considerate, and undistracted by the
needs of competing patients.
If mental healing or chemical medications
are available, roll d% for each game month that
one or the other is used. A result of 01-95 is a
success: Add 1d3 Sanity points for either
mental therapy or chemical medications,
whichever is used (a character cannot benefit
from both in the same month). On a result of 96-
100, the healer fumbles the diagnosis or the
character rejects the chemical treatments. She
loses 1d6 Sanity points, and no progress is
made that month.
Institutionalization
The next best alternative to private care is
commitment to a good insane asylum. Asylums
may be said to have an advantage over home
care in that they are relatively cheap or even a
free service provided by a government or a
powerful church. These institutions are of
uneven quality, however, and some may be
potentially harmful. Some are creative places of
experimental therapy, while others offer mere
confinement. In any setting, concentrated and
nourishing treatment by strangers is rare.
Therapy using the Treat Injury skill is
usually the only treatment available, but in most
cases, primitive institutions offer no treatment at
all. Sometimes an institution can convey an un-
caring sense that undermines the useful effects
of chemical medications, leaving the character
with a sense of anger and loss. He is likely to be
distrustful of the organization and its motives.
Escape attempts are common by inmates.
Roll d% for each game month a character is in
the care of an institution. A result of 01-95 is a
success; add 1d3 Sanity points if therapy with
the Treat Injury skill was available, or 1 Sanity
point if no treatment was present. On a result of
96-100, the character rebels against the
environment. He loses 1d6 Sanity points, and
no progress can be made that month.
Wandering and Homeless
If no care is available, an insane character
may become a wandering derelict struggling for
survival. Such a wanderer gains no Sanity
points unless he is able to join a group of the
homeless and find at least one friend among
them. To find a friend after joining such a group,
the character can make a DC 15 Charisma check
once per month. If a friend appears, the character
recovers 1 Sanity point per game month
thereafter.
For each game month during which an insane
character lives as a derelict, roll d%. On a result
of 01-95, the character survives. On a result of
96-100, the character dies as the result of
disease, exposure, or violence.
Mental Disorders
This section offers descriptions of many
specific mental disorders. Where appropriate,
suggested modifiers to characters attack rolls,
saves, and checks are also given.
Anxiety Disorders
When fear and anxiety overwhelm a charac-
ter for a prolonged period of time, the character
suffers from an anxiety disorder. The most
common forms of anxiety disorders are
described below.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder: The
character suffers from a variety of physical
and emotional symptoms that can be
grouped into certain categories.
o Motor Tension: Jitteriness, aches,
twitches, restlessness, easily
startled, easily fatigued, and so on.
All attack rolls, Fortitude and Reflex
saves, and all checks involving
Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution
take a -2 penalty.
o Autonomic Hyperactivity: Sweating,
racing heart, dizziness, clammy
hands, flushed or pallid face, rapid
pulse and respiration even when at
rest, and so on. All attack rolls,
saves, and checks take a -2 penalty.
o Expectations of Doom: Anxieties,
worries,
fears, and especially anticipations
of misfortune. All attack rolls, saves,
and checks take a -2 morale
penalty.
The Thing - 27
 o Vigilance: Distraction, inability to
focus, insomnia, irritability,
impatience. All Will saves and
checks involving Intelligence,
Wisdom, or Charisma take a -4
morale penalty.
Panic Disorder (Panic Attack): This
illness is marked by a discrete period of
fear in which symptoms develop rapidly.
Within minutes palpitation, sweating,
trembling, and difficulty in breathing
develop, strong enough that the victim
fears immediate death or insanity.
Burdened with the recurrence of these
episodes, she fears their return. This
reaction often leads to agoraphobia (see
below).
Agoraphobia (Fear of Open Places): The
character becomes very nervous outside
familiar surroundings and must make a DC
15 Will save in order to leave home or
engage socially. May be linked to panic
disorder (see above) or to a related phobia
(see below), such as uranophobia (fear of the
sky), baraphobia (fear of loss of gravity), or
xenophobia (fear of strangers).
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: This
illness manifests in one of two main forms,
obsessive thoughts or compulsive actions;
some characters exhibit both.
o Obsessions: The character cannot
help thinking about an idea, image,
or impulse incessantly, often
involving violence and self-doubt.
These ideas are frequently
repugnant to the character, but
they are so strong that during times
of stress she may be unable to
concentrate on anything else, even
if doing so is necessary for her
survival. Obsessive impulses can be
very dangerous when combined
with auditory hallucinations, since
the voices may urge the character
to take some dangerous or hostile
course of action.
o Compulsions: The character insists
on performing ritual actions, such as
touching a doorway at left, right, and
top before passing through it.
Though she may agree that the
actions are senseless, the need to
perform them is overpowering and
may last for 1dl0 rounds. Even in
times of great stress, the character
28 - The Thing
may ignore her survival in order to
perform the actions.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: After a
traumatic event, perhaps even years later,
the character begins to relive the trauma
through persistent thoughts, dreams, and
flashbacks. Correspondingly, the character
loses interest in daily activities. She may
return to normal once the memories have
been thoroughly explored and understood,
but that process may take years.
Phobia or Mania: A character afflicted by a
phobia or a mania persistently fears a
particular object or situation. She realizes
that the fear is excessive and irrational, but
the fear is disturbing enough that she avoids
the stimulus.
o Phobia: A DC I5 Will check is
required for a character to be able to
force herself into (or remain within)
the presence of the object of her
phobia, and even then the character
takes a -2 morale penalty as long as
the object of fear remains. In severe
cases, the object of the phobia is
imagined to be omnipresent,
perhaps hiddenthus, someone
with severe acrophobia (fear of
heights) might be frightened when in
an enclosed room on the upper story
of a building, even if there were no
window or other way to see how
high up the room was. As many
phobias exist as one cares to notice
or namethe lists provided below
cover merely some of the more
common phobias that might affect
D20 Modern characters.
o Mania: Manias are rarer than
phobias. A character affected by a
mania is inordinately fond of a
particular stimulus and takes great
pains to be with it or near it. When
the characters sexuality is involved,
the mania may be termed a fetish.
Thus, teratophobia would be an
inordinate fear of monsters, while
teratophilia would be an unhealthy
(possibly sexual) attraction to them.
See the following lists of phobias for
ideas on what sorts of disorders
could manifest as manias.
Real-World Phobias: The following list
provides examples of phobias from the real
world that lend themselves to inclusion in a

stupor, or thoughts of suicide. All attack
rolls, saves, and checks take a -4 morale
penalty. A predisposition to use alcohol or
other mood-altering substances in an
attempt at self-medication exists. A
character suffering from severe chronic
depression may give up virtually all effort
from feelings of hopelessnessfor
example, deciding not to get out of bed for
two years.
Mania: The character has a fairly constant
euphoric or possibly irritable mood.
Symptoms include a general increase in
activity, talkativeness, increased self-
esteem to the point of delusion, decreased
need for sleep, being easily distracted,
willingness for dangerous or imprudent
activities such as reckless driving,
delusions, hallucinations, and bizarre
behavior. All attack rolls, saves, and
checks take a -4 morale penalty A
predisposition to use alcohol or other
substances in an attempt at self-medication
exists.
Bipolar Mood Disorder: The character
oscillates between mood states,
sometimes staying in one mood for weeks
at a time, sometimes rapidly switching from
one to another. Also known as manic-
depressive.
Personality Disorders
These long-term disorders have almost
constant effects on a characters behavior,
30 - The Thing
making it difficult for him to interact with others
and often making him unpleasant to be around
as well. This is an important point to keep in
mind when role-playing few players want to
spend time with another player character
suffering from a personality disorder.
In game terms, the character takes a -4
penalty on all Charisma-based checks. In
addition, the attitudes of NPCs the character
encounters are shifted in a negative direction.
When the Diplomacy table of NPC attitudes is
used, the player must make a Charisma check
for the character. On a successful check, the
attitude of the NPC in question shifts one step
toward hostile; on a failed check, the attitude of
the NPC in question shifts two steps toward
hostile.
Personality disorders are classified in the
following categories.
Antisocial: Shortsighted and reckless
behavior, habitual liar, confrontational, fails
to meet obligations (job, bills, relation-
ships), disregards rights and feelings of
others.
Avoidant: Oversensitive to rejection, low
self-esteem, socially withdrawn.
Borderline: Rapid mood shifts, impulsive,
unable to control temper, chronic boredom.
Compulsive: Perfectionist, authoritarian,
indecisive from fear of making mistakes,
difficulty expressing emotions.
Dependent: Lacks self-confidence; seeks
another to look up to, follow, and
subordinate herself to (codependent).
Histrionic: Overly dramatic, craves
attention and excitement, overreacts,
displays temper tantrums, may threaten
suicide if thwarted.
Narcissistic: Exaggerated sense of self-
importance, craves attention and
admiration, considers others rights and
feelings as of lesser importance.
Passive-Aggressive: Procrastinator,
stubborn, intentionally forgetful,
deliberately inefficient. Sabotages own
performance on a regular basis.
Paranoid: Jealous, easily offended,
suspicious, humorless, secretive, vigilant;
exaggerates magnitude of offenses against
oneself, refuses to accept blame.
Schizoid: Emotionally cold, aloof, has few
friends; indifferent to praise or criticism.
 GMs should realize that, while these traits
may work for an interesting NPC from whom
the players must extract information or a favor,
their antisocial nature makes them ill-suited for
members of an adventuring party.
Psychosexual Disorders
Recognizable disorders of this type include
transsexualism (a belief that one is actually a
member of the opposite sex), impaired sexual
desire or function, nymphomania and satyriasis
(inordinate and uncontrollable sexual appetite
in women and men, respectively), and
paraphilia (requirement of an abnormal sexual
stimulus, such as sadism, masochism,
necrophilia, pedophilia, exhibitionism,
voyeurism, fetishism, or bestiality).
Other Psychotic Disorders: By some
Most of these disorders could make players
of the afflicted characters uncomfortable and
thus are not appropriate for most role-playing
groups, although they can make for striking (if
unpleasant) NPCs.
Schizophrenia and Other
Psychotic Disorders
A psychotic character experiences a break
with reality. Symptoms can include delusions,
hallucinations, and cognitive impairment. In
general, only chemical substances or magic can
treat these kinds of disorders. Note, however,
that many psychotic characters suffer from the
delusion that nothing is wrong with them, and
hence they feel no need to take their medication.
Schizophrenia (Schizophreniform
Disorder, Dementia Praecox): A
schizophrenic characters attention span and
ability to concentration are greatly
diminished; to reflect this, use only one-half
of the characters normal skill modifier on
any skill check requiring attentiveness (such
as Disable Device, Spot, Search, Open Lock,
and of course Concentration). Symptoms in-
clude bizarre delusions, paranoia, auditory
hallucinations (hearing voices), incoherent
speech, emotional detachment, social
withdrawal, bizarre behavior, and a lack of
the sense of self. Symptoms from more than
one type can occur in the same individual,
along with mood disorders (see above). For
example, catatonic schizophrenics
sometimes have manic episodes of extreme
activity alternating with periods of complete
withdrawal. Schizophrenia brought on by
sudden stress is called acute schizophrenia;
characters who go insane and babble of
vast global conspiracies usually are
diagnosed as suffering from acute paranoid
schizophrenia. A schizophrenic character
may fit into one of the following categories.
o Undifferentiated: Impaired cognitive
function, emotional detachment.
o Disorganized: Inappropriate
behavior, shallow emotional re-
sponses, delusions, hallucinations.
o Catatonic: Mutism (loss of ability to
talk), extreme compliance, absence
of all voluntary movements,
complete immobility (statuism).
o Paranoid: Delusions of persecution,
illogical thinking, hallucinations.
definitions, all severe mental illnesses are
classified as psychoses, including mood dis-
orders, dementia, and anxiety disorders.
This section deals with some of the
interesting behavioral syndromes that may
turn up in your game.
o AmokRunning amok, an outburst
of violence and aggressive or
homicidal behavior directed at
people and property. Amnesia,
return to consciousness, and
exhaustion occur following the
episode. During a killing spree, the
character utilizes whatever weapons
are on hand.
o Boufee DetirantSudden outburst
of aggressive, agitated behavior and
marked confusion, sometimes
accompanied by visual and auditory
hallucinations or paranoia.
o Brain FagImpaired concentration
and feelings of fatigue, pains in the
neck and head, a sense that worms
are crawling inside ones head.
o Ghost SicknessWeakness, loss of
appetite, feelings of suffocation,
nightmares, and a pervasive feeling
of terror, attributed as a sending
from witches or malign otherworldly
powers.
o PiblofeioArctic madness,
wherein the afflicted rips off clothing
and runs howling like an animal
through the snow.
o SusroA variety of somatic and
psychological symptoms attributed to
a traumatic incident so frightening
The Thing - 31
 that it dislodged the victims spirit
from her body.
o Taijin KyofushoFace-to-face
phobia, an intense anxiety when in
the presence of other people;
fearfulness that ones appearance,
odor, or behavior is offensive.
o Voodoo DeathBelief that a hex or
curse can bring about misfortune,
disability, and death through some
spiritual mechanism. Often the
victim self-fulfills the hexers
prophecy by refusing to eat and
drink, resulting in dehydration and
starvation.
o WacinkoAnger, withdrawal,
mutism, and immobility, leading to
illness and suicide.
o Wendigo SyndromeThe afflicted
believes she is a personification of
the Wendigo, a cannibalistic
creature with an icy heart.
Shared Paranoid Disorder (Shared
Delusional Disorder, Folie a Deux): The
character takes on the delusional system of
another paranoid individual from being in
close contact with that person.
Sleep Disorders
These disorders include insomnia (character
has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)
and narcolepsy (character frequently falls
asleep, almost anywhere and at inappropriate
times). Characters performing demanding
tasks such as engaging in combat or casting a
spell may, when stressed, need to make DC 15
Concentration checks to stay awake and not put
themselves in a dangerous situation.
Night Terrors: A sleeping character wakes
after a few hours of sleep, usually screaming
in terror. Pulse and breathing are rapid,
pupils are dilated, and hair stands on end.
The character is confused and hard to calm
down. Night terrors are similar to ordinary
nightmares, but much more intense and
disruptive.
Somnambulism: Sleepwalking. As with
night terrors, this behavior occurs in the first
few hours of sleep. An episode may last up
to 30 minutes. During the episode, the
characters face is blank and staring, and
she can be roused only with difficulty.
Once awake, she recalls nothing of the
activity.
32 - The Thing
Somatoform Disorders
A somatoform disorder may be diagnosed
when a character experiences physical
symptoms that cannot be explained by an actual
physical injury or disease.
Somatization Disorder: The character
suffers from a physical ailment or disease
like effect, with symptoms ranging from diz-
ziness and impotence to blindness and
intense pain. The Treat Injury skill cannot
identify any physical cause for the
symptoms, and magical healing has no
effect. The victim does not believe that her
symptoms represent a specific disease. All
attack rolls, saves, and checks take a -2
penalty.
Conversion Disorder: The character
reports dysfunctions that suggest a physical
disorder but, though they are involuntary,
the symptoms actually provide a way for the
victim to avoid something undesirable or a
way to garner attention and caring, a
condition called Munchausenism. Symptoms
range from painful headaches to paralysis or
blindness. With the condition known as
Reverse Munchausenism, a character
projects ill health onto others and may even
arrange injuries or illnesses for them so that
she can thereafter take care of them. All
attack rolls, saves, and checks take a -1
penalty.
Hypochondriasis: Character believes she
suffers from a serious disease. No physical
cause for reported symptoms can be found,
but the character continues to believe that
the disease or condition exists, often with
serious consequences to her normal life.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Character
suffers from perceived flaws in appearance,
usually of the face, or of the hips or legs.
Behavior may alter in unexpected ways to
cover up the flaws or to calm anxieties.
Substance Abuse Disorder
A character with a substance abuse disorder
finds solace in using a drug, becomes addicted
to it, and spends much time maintaining,
concealing, and indulging the habit. Drugs
include alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine,
hallucinogens, marijuana, nicotine, opium
(especially morphine and heroin), and
sedatives.
A character under the sway of such a
substance should feel the personal struggle

 Hazards
"Nothing human could have made it back here in this weather without a guideline..."
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
heros clothes or hair catch fire, he or she takes
1d6 points of damage immediately. In each
subsequent round, the burning hero must make
another Reflex saving throw. Failure means he
or she takes another 1d6 points of damage that
round. Success means that the fire has gone
out. (That is, once the character succeeds at the
saving throw, he or she is no longer on fire.)
A hero 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.
Darkness and Light
Its a rare mission that doesnt end up in the
dark somewhere, and heroes need a way to
see. See the table below for the radius that a
light source illuminates and how long it lasts.
- Childs, The Thing
Item Light Duration
Candle 5 feet 12 hours
Torch 20 feet 2 hours
Halogen lantern 40 feet 24 hours
Flashlight 20 feet* 6 hours
*Creates a beam 30 feet long and 5 feet high.
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, he or she is 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. A character that succeeds at a
Survival check (DC 15) gains a +4 competence
bonus on the save (see the Survival skill).
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 and successful use of the
Survival skill can modify the save, as noted
above.
The Thing - 35
 Monsters
"I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is."
The Thing is an alien being that arrived on
Earth one hundred thousand years ago. It
crash-landed in a flying saucer that was frozen
in the Antarctic. It was either thrown clear or
crawled out of its ship and went into suspended
animation.
In 1981, a Norwegian geological survey team
dug it up. The Thing thawed out and came back
to life, killing all of the Norwegians. The Thing
spread to an American outpost, Outpost 31, in
the form of a sled dog. There the Thing
demonstrated its terrifying ability to perfectly
imitate any living organism that it assimilates.
Although it was initially thought to be
destroyed by the last two remaining crew
members of Outpost 31, recent evidence
indicates that the Thing spread as far as
Argentina and possibly into civilization.
All Things have the following characteristics:
Blindsight: Using nonvisual senses, such as
sensitivity to vibrations, scent, acute hearing, or
echolocation, the Thing maneuvers and fights as
well as sighted creatures. Invisibility and
darkness are irrelevant, though the creature still
can't discern ethereal beings. The Thing does
not need to make Spot or Listen checks to
notice creatures within 60.
36 - The Thing
Clark, The Thing
Scent (Ex): The Thing 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,
such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be
detected at twice the ranges noted above.
Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or
troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple
normal range. The Thing can pinpoint locations
only within 5 feet. The Thing can follow tracks by
smell with a Wisdom check (DC 10, +2 for every
hour the trail is cold).
Infection (Ex): Any living creature hit by a
Thing's melee attack must succeed at a
Fortitude save (DC 15) or become infected.
Bludgeoning or non-penetrating attacks do not
transmit the condition. It takes 2d6*10 minutes
for the victim to completely transform. Victims
may still exhibit some signs of infection early on,
which can be detected with a Spot check (DC
15).
Fire Vulnerability (Ex): A Thing takes
double damage from fire attacks unless the
attack allows a save, in which case it takes
double damage on a failure and no damage on a
success.
Amorphous (Ex): A Thing is not subject to
critical hits. It cannot be flanked.

A Thing is a physical duplicate of a specific
humanoid, called a primary. Although a Thing
does not gain the specific life experiences of its
primary, it can easily mimic the demeanor and
general behavior of the primary, enabling it to fill
the same general role as the primary. A Thing is
identical in appearance to the primary.
Template Traits
Replacement is an inherited template that
can be added to any humanoid (referred to
hereafter as the original). A Thing uses all the
primarys statistics except as noted here.
Challenge Rating: Same as the original 1.
Hit Dice: Change to one die type smaller
than the primary.
Special Attacks: A Thing retains all the
special attacks of the base creature. The Thing
also gains one ability plus one to three other
special attacks as described below. The save
DC against a special attack is equal to 10 + 1/2
Things HD + Things Con modifier unless
otherwise noted.
Bile (Ex): The Thing can spit bile up to 30
feet away, once per round. The target must
make a Reflex save (DC 20) or be blinded
for 1d4 rounds.
Detect Thoughts (Su): The Thing can
continuously use detect thoughts as the
spell (caster level 18th; Will DC 13 negates).
It can suppress or resume this ability as a
free action. The save DC is Charisma-
based. If the Thing can read an opponents
mind, it gets a +4 circumstance bonus on
Bluff and Disguise checks.
Engulf (Ex): The Thing can try to engulf a
Medium or smaller opponent grabbed by
three or more appendages. The opponent
must succeed on a DC 14 Reflex save or fall
and be engulfed. In the next round, the
Thing makes double its number of attacks
(each with a +4 attack bonus). An engulfed
creature cannot attack the Thing from within.
The previously attached mouths are now
free to attack others. The save DC is
Strength-based and includes a +2 racial
bonus.
Eyes (Ex): The Thing has multiple eyes that
bestows a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks.
THING (TEMPLATE)
Improved Grab (Ex): If the Thing hits with a
claw attack, it can then attempt to start a
grapple as a free action without provoking
an attack of opportunity.
Tentacles (Ex): The Thing can sprout
tentacles. On a successful grapple check
after grabbing, the tentacle attaches to the
opponent. It automatically deals claw
damage and drains blood, dealing 1 point of
Constitution damage each round. A tentacle
can be ripped off (dealing 1 point of
damage) with a DC 12 Strength check or
severed by a successful sunder attempt (the
mouth has 2 hit points). A severed tentacle
continues to inflict damage for 1d4 rounds
after such an attack. A creature whose
Constitution is absorbed.
Special Qualities: A Thing gains all of the
originals extraordinary abilities but none of its
supernatural or spell-like abilities (including
psionics). A Thing gains none of the originals
other special qualities or talents.
In addition to its inherited extraordinary
abilities, a Thing has the following special
qualities:
Allegiances: A Things primary allegiance is
to itself. Things can work together when
need be towards a mutual goal, but secrecy
is paramount. An individual Thing will not
reveal itself unless it is absolutely
necessary, even if that means silently
witnessing another Thing's destruction to
preserve its identity.
Change Shape (Ex): The Thing can change
into another form of living creature that it has
successfully attacked. The new form may be
of the same type as the subject or any of the
following types: aberration, animal, dragon,
fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast,
monstrous humanoid, ooze, or vermin. The
assumed form cant have more Hit Dice than
the Thing, to a maximum of 15 HD at 15th
level. The Thing can't become a form
smaller than Fine, nor can it become an
incorporeal or gaseous form. The Thing's
creature type and subtype (if any) change to
match the new form. The Thing gains the
Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores
of the new form but retains its own
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores.
It also gains all extraordinary special attacks
possessed by the form but does not gain the
extraordinary special qualities possessed by
The Thing - 37
 the new form or any supernatural or spell-
like abilities. For every six minutes that a
Thing has begun imitating a creature, it
receives a +1 circumstance bonus to
Disguise checks, up to +10 after an hour. It
takes a full hour for it to actually look exactly
like the being it is mimicking.
Spawn Scuttler (Ex): The Thing spawns 1
large scuttler upon death.
Thing Qualities (Ex): A Thing has all the
standard resistances and vulnerabilities.
Absorb (Ex): As a full-round action, a Thing
can absorb the body (but not the equipment)
of any creature to which it has successfully
transferred its flesh (see Flesh Transfer,
below). The Thing gains a size category
whenever it has absorbed creatures whose
combined size categories equal its own,
according to the following equivalencies:
Four Tiny creatures equal a Small creature,
four Small creatures equal a Medium-size
creature, and four Medium-size creatures
equal a Large creature. Thus, a Huge Thing
could have resulted from a Large Thing
absorbing one Large creature, four Medium-
size creatures, or any mix of sizes that
equals Large. The Things statistics remain
the same after absorption unless it gains a
size category. Any hit point or ability
damage that the Thing has taken before
absorbing its prey still applies to its new
statistics. A Thing cannot absorb a creature
larger than itself, nor can it absorb another
Thing.
Alien Physiology (Ex): A Thing does not
need to eat or sleep the way a normal
creature does. It cannot starve or become
fatigued. A Thing is not subject to death
from massive damage or critical hits.
Cold Resistance 10 (Ex): A Thing ignores
the first 10 points of cold damage from any
single attack.
Convert (Ex): If desired, a Thing can
convert any creature to which it has
successfully transferred its flesh (see Flesh
Transfer, below) into a new Thing as a full-
round action. A converted creature becomes
in all ways a Thing of the appropriate size
category, losing all its own ability scores, Hit
Dice, class levels, skills, feats, species traits,
and allegiances and replacing them with
those of a Thing. A creature with less than 1
Hit Die or more than 16 Hit Dice cannot be
converted.
38 - The Thing
Flesh Transfer (Ex): A Thing can transfer
its own flesh to a helpless living creature or
a living creature that it has pinned in a
grapple for 3 consecutive rounds. As an
attack action, the Thing sloughs flesh from
its own body onto the helpless or pinned foe,
thereby transforming the latters body into
Thing flesh. The opponent may attempt a
Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 Things Hit Dice
+ its Constitution modifier) to resist. Success
indicates that the Thing has failed to transfer
its flesh to the opponent, but it can attempt
to do so again using another attack action
assuming that the proper conditions are still
in place. Failure indicates that the flesh
transfer was successful and the opponents
body has begun to transform into Thing
flesh. The opponent is then helpless for the
remainder of the process. The Thing must
stay in physical contact with the target for
1d4 additional rounds before the transfer is
complete. At that point, the opponent can be
either absorbed by the Thing or converted
into a new Thing (see Absorb and Convert,
above), at the attackers option. If the Thing
is physically separated from the opponent or
killed before the flesh transfer is complete,
the opponent takes 1d4 points of
Constitution drain and remains helpless for
2d4 rounds. An opponent smaller than Tiny
or larger than Large cannot be either
absorbed or converted. If the opponent
cannot be either absorbed, and a creature
with less than 1 Hit Die or more than 16 Hit
Dice cannot be converted, it simply
becomes a dead Thing when the process is
complete.
Fear Aura (Su): Any creature within 60 feet
of a Thing in its normal form must succeed
on a Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 Things
Hit Dice + its Charisma modifier) or be
stunned for 1d4 rounds by its hideous
appearance and otherworldly appendages.
An opponent that cannot see the Thing is
immune to this effect. Whether or not the
save is successful, the creature cannot be
affected again by that Things fear aura for
24 hours.
Hive Mind (Su): All Things within 200 feet of
one another are in constant mental
communication. If one is aware of a
particular threat, they all are. If one Thing in
a particular group is not flat-footed, none of
them are. No Thing in such a group is
considered flanked unless they all are.
Immunities (Ex): Because a Thing does not
need to breathe, it is immune to suffocation,
 inhaled poisons, and other detrimental
atmospheric effects. If it has assumed a
form that normally breathes, it does so to
look natural, but its immunities still apply.
Mimic (Ex): A Thing can perfectly mimic any
creature that it has absorbed within the past
hour. Changing its form to match that of the
absorbed creature is a full-round action that
provokes attacks of opportunity. The Thing
retains its own Hit Dice, hit points, species
traits, desires, and allegiances, but replaces
its own ability scores with those of the
absorbed creature. It also gains access to all
the absorbed creatures natural weapons,
attack bonuses, skills, ability scores, feats,
memories, and even spells yet to be cast. All
of these abilities function at the effective Hit
Dice or level of the absorbed creature. The
Thing functions in all ways as the creature
did just before the absorption. The Thing
must be of the same size category as the
creature it chooses to mimic, so it may need
to split or absorb creatures until its size is
correct. It must acquire the equipment of the
absorbed individual to complete the ruse
properly. A Thing may mimic a particular
creature only once, and it can stay in that
form for no longer than 24 hours. Thereafter,
it automatically reverts to its Thing form,
losing all the knowledge, skills, feats, and
abilities that the mimicked form provided. It
does retain the memories of its actions while
in the mimicked form and any information it
gained during that time. Hit point and ability
damage or drain taken in the mimicked form
is healed upon reversion to its original form,
but a Thing that is killed in a mimicked form
remains dead. Any magical effects that were
operating on the Thing in its mimicked form
end upon reversion. Most Things try to
return to their normal forms when their
mimicked forms have lost half their hit points
to damage.
Regeneration 5 (Ex): A Thing regenerates
5 points of damage each round but cannot
regenerate fire, acid, or electricity damage. If
a Thing loses a limb or body part, the lost
portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The
creature can reattach the severed member
instantly by holding it to the stump.
Split (Ex): If a Thing wants to escape
bonds, or enter an area of smaller confines
than its current size would permit, or
diminish its size to mimic a creature it has
absorbed, it can split off part of its body at
will. Splitting is a full-round action that
provokes attacks of opportunity. The
detached portion is a new Thing of a size
category smaller than the original, with the
normal statistics for a Thing of its size
category. (Use the size equivalencies given
in the Absorb ability, above, to determine the
results of splits.) Any damage or other
negative effects previously suffered stay
with the larger portion, or are randomly
assigned to one portion if both are the same
size category. Neither portion of the split
doppelganger can be smaller than Tiny.
Once it has split apart, the Thing cannot
rejoin its parts; they are forever separate
creatures. A Thing can initiate a split at any
point on its bodya fact that makes binding
one nearly impossible.
Skills: Because of its near-perfect mimicry
ability, a Thing gains a +30 circumstance
bonus on Disguise checks and a +10
circumstance bonus on Bluff checks when
acting as the creature it is mimicking. These
bonuses are not accounted for in the
statistics blocks below. A Thing receives a
+4 racial bonus to Bluff and Disguise
checks. *When using alter self, a Thing
receives an additional +10 circumstance
bonus to Disguise checks.
Saves: As the original.
Action Points: Things do not acquire or
amass action points.
Abilities: As the original.
Skills: A Thing has access to any skill in
which the original has ranks, and all of a Things
skills are class skills even if they are cross-class
skills for the original. A Thing gets a number of
skill points per Hit Die equal to 4 + the Things
Intelligence modifier (minimum 1 skill point per
Hit Die). The Thing can never have more ranks
in a skill than the original.
The Thing gains a +4 species bonus on
Disguise checks when impersonating the
original.
Feats: A Thing gains the originals feats but

4 Predator: Cazador de Trofeos

 Introduction
"When I was little we find a man -- like a butcher. The old ones in the village cross themselves and
whisper crazy things. 'Demonio, cazador de trofeos... Only the hottest times of the hottest years... 'Crazy
things... This year is grows hot. And we begin finding our men. We find them sometimes without their
skin. Sometimes...much, much worse. Cazador de trofeos...means the demon who takes trophies."
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos is a Modern
campaign supplement. For more information
about D20 Modern, see Section 15 of the Open
Gaming License.
The first half of the supplement is suitable for
players and Game Masters. The last half is for
Game Masters only.
Summary
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos is a role-
playing game set in the near future, where the
ultimate alien predators hunt the most
dangerous men and women.
Campaign in Brief
They call themselves the Yautja but
everyone else calls them the Predators. What
everyone will agree on is they are the most
feared hunters in the entire galaxy. Most
encounters have been with a single Yautja and
the only survivors have been women and small
children. Their accounts have been sketchy at
best, but they consider the Yautja killing
machines.
The Hunt is everything to the Yautja. Every
single one of the Yautja has as its goal to be the
ultimate hunter and each strives to perfect the
Hunt. Nothing else may matter besides the Hunt,
but the Hunt has rules. A Yautja must track his
enemy and face him in combat. To not face your
enemy in combat is the cowards way. A Yautja
will always try to face an enemy in hand-to-hand
combat. If it is not possible, then ranged
weapons are acceptable. The worst thing a
Yautja could do is to kill an enemy, at a
distance, while cloaked.
To the Yautja, if you are not a Hunter, you
are prey. One of the requirements to be a
Hunter is to be part of a clan and no one yet
knows what it would take to make a non-Yautja
part of a clan.
The Yautja are clannish in nature. The Clan
is the most important part of the social structure,
Anna, Predator
followed by the Yautja, then your mate and
offspring. All others are unimportant. The Yautja
do not focus on large-scale conquest, as it is
unimportant compared to the Hunt. Clans can
and do fight each other, especially if one feels
its honor has been stained. The Clan Leaders
word is law and not following a Clan Leaders
word is punishable by death. The adjudicators
are the admin and law Yautja. Only the Council
of Ruling Clans can override an adjudicators
word.
The Yautja travel in hunting parties. A typical
hunting party consists of 8 to 90 Yautja. During a
hunt, each kill gains reputation for a Yautja. As a
Yautja gains reputation, it gains in status
amongst its peers. With higher ranks comes
more honor.
Only a Blooded Yautja can compete in a
hunt. To become Blooded, a Yautja must go
through an intense ritual, which ends in their first
kill. While it is usually a coming of age ritual, a
Yautja can participate in the ritual at any point in
their life. After they are Blooded, their life as a
Hunter begins.
Almost all Yautja encountered are Blooded
and male. The lou-dte kalei, or female, is larger
than the male, but most of the time stays at
home to raise the young. There are very few,
Blooded lou-dte kalei.
Campaign Traits
The future of Predator: Cazador de Trofeos
is a bleak one, where Predators roam free to
hunt and kill and the government covers it all up
in the futile hopes of capturing alien technology.
Background
The Yautja as a people long ago gave up the
arts of psionics and arcane magic, to pursue
technology. Most divine magic comes from
shamans who venerate the Warrior. As the
Yautja have expanded their hunting grounds into
the Empire they have encountered the Old Arts.
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 5
They are starting to see these as acceptable
tools to use in the Hunt.
The Hunt continues wherever the Yautja find
worthy adversaries, but they know with an
organized society as their prey, they must move
slowly as to not unite their prey against them.
There will come a time in the near future, when
they have relearned the Old Arts, that the Yautja
will not concern themselves about united preys.
The Yautja homeworld is a swamp-like planet
with extremely tall trees and a heavy methane-
laced atmosphere. The methane-laced
atmosphere is caused by massive chemical
releases from the stagnant waters and rotting
animal carcasses and vegetation. The tall
vegetation obscures the sunlight to let very little,
if any, though to the planet surface.
Along with the thick mists caused by the
atmospheric gases, the homeworld is close to a
second planet, Praedra <pronounced prah-
dray> or Brother of the Hunt. Praedra is in a
similar orbit around the systems sun, which
obscures Homeworlds light for much of its solar
year.
The homeworld is kept in a perpetual twilight.
This twilight forced all creatures to adapt their
vision or perish. The yautjas vision lies almost
completely in the infrared spectrum. Without a
Yautja helmets visual helmet, they are virtually
blind in other more sunlit worlds.
The Yautja homeworld is very damp and wet
with a lot of root like vegetation and trees. In the
yautjas early evolution, they once lived
burrowing amongst the soft mud and still waters
of the swamps, until they eventually evolved into
a more amphibious life form that took to the
trees as a form of Yautja. Over time they
evolved further into a more anthropomorphic
form as their tool using and building skills
provided them more stable platforms upon which
to live.

 Characters
"What the hell ARE you?"
"What the hell are YOU?"
In the Predator universe, USM Marines is the
last remnants of resistance against the rise of
the machines. The weak, slow, and stupid have
long since been weeded out. USM Marines
members are the toughest, savviest, and fastest
humanity has to offer. As a result, all USM
Marines members have access to combat feats.
Yautja as PCs
Yautja, known as "Predators" in the
vernacular, are humanoid; they are bipedal,
have two legs and arms, one head, two eyes,
and ears. While the Yautja's body may be
humanoid in appearance, this cannot be said for
its face. Having been described as having a face
like a "mutated crab", the Yautja possess a very
distinct look. The most prominent feature of this
look are four mandibles which protrude from and
surround a smallish mouth filled with sharp
teeth. These mandibles are used for
communicating much like a cat uses its tail to
communicate its mood.
A Yautja's skin has a remarkable color
because some parts are more greenish and
other parts are more with brown. When a Yautja
gets older, its hair and skin color changes. Skin
color is generally a pasty yellow mottled with
black spots.
On their head, the Yautja have course bristly
"hair" which is twisted into dreadlocks. One rite
of adulthood is the ceremonial braiding of a
warriors hair into the "dreadlocks" style worn by
the warriors. This process, usually taking
months of ritual and scalp pain is performed in
public. At the slightest show of pain or
discomfort on the part of the young warrior, the
entire process is started over again.
Yautja appear to value other predatory
species as the most challenging targets. This
would also explain their preference for hunting
humans, another highly successful Yautjay
species. The Yautja are very fond of trophies,
skulls being the most sought after. The Yautja
warrior's behavior is controlled by a code of
ethics (see Allegiances).
8 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
Dutch to Predator, Predator
As a rite of passage into adulthood, each
male Yautja must hunt and kill his first kainde
amedha, or "hard meat". These hard meats are
commonly known to humans as Aliens.
Apparently the Yautja and aliens have a
connected evolution and the Yautja consider
them to be the ultimate prey.
The rite of passage hunts are generally
conducted on uninhabited planets. Before a hunt
begins, the Yautja "seed" the hunting grounds
with Alien eggs, which are obtained from a
captive queen. Once the eggs hatch and the
Alien brood mature, a group of unblooded
warriors land on the planet, supervised by two or
three veteran warriors. Equipped only with hand-
to-hand weaponry and armor, the young Yautja
is sent out. Those who survive and claim a kill
are then inducted into their clan as fully blooded
warriors. Knowing the danger presented by the
Aliens to the local ecosystem, the Yautja will not
leave a planet until every alien is killed.
However, it is believed that Alien infestations in
the galaxy may be caused by the Yautja failing
to account for every released Alien.
As a side note, it is considered a great honor
by the Yautja to participate in the hunts that
obtain the Alien queen from which they obtain
their supply of eggs. To obtain a live queen, the
Yautja hunting party must venture into an Alien
crche, succeed in defeating all the queen's
warrior drones, and then subdue the queen
herself. Needless to say, many of these parties
never return. To understand the respect Yautja
hold for the lethality of the aliens, in at least one
instance, the Yautja have accepted a human
into their hunting clan who has successfully slain
an alien in single hand-to-hand combat.
Yautja society is based on the concept of
The Hunt. Whereas humans on earth were
agrarian, the Yautja never settled down. Their
culture revolves around the concept of hunting
and stalking prey. Very similar to a pack
mentality, the strongest and most efficient
member of the group is the leader. This alpha
male controls the actions of the group. So far,
only males seem to participate in hunts. Since
females rule over their territory and generally run
internal affairs, Yautja have a matriarchal
society. Rarely is it ever needed to be enforced
however, males do not involve themselves with
female politics and females are uninterested in
male socialization.
+4 Strength, +4 Constitution, +2 Dexterity,
-6 Charisma: The Yautja are much stronger and
faster than an average human. They've been
known to climb sheer walls, and throw a full-
grown man 5 meters with one hand. They
possess lightning quick reflexes and their
dexterity surpasses that of man.
+2 natural Defense bonus: The yautja have
a tough skin, which affords them some
protection to attacks.
+2 racial bonus to Jump checks: Yautja
can jump very high and run fast, even when
loaded down with weapons and trophies. Yautja
can jump up to three times their height, and can
fall ten times their height and land on their feet.
+2 racial bonus to Listen checks: Yautja
can hear a whisper up to 50 feet away.
Atmospheric Intolerance: Yautja breathe
1% more oxygen, and 4% more nitrogen than
humans. They can adapt to earth's natural
gasses, but it could only last for 1 week at the
most. If Dr Bergstrom is correct on her theory
(Yautja: Homeworld), this could be because this
is what the atmosphere was like on Earth
millions of years ago. For every 10 minutes for
which a Yautja goes without using a breather,
their physical attributes reduce by 1. Spending
10 rounds on a breather will return 1 point lost
from each of the physical attributes.
Automatic Languages: Yautja, sign
language. Bonus Languages: Up to 5
additional languages. The Yautja have a verbal
language of clicks and chirps and are capable of
mimicking other verbal languages to a degree.
They do pick up languages quickly, however
without formally studying the language as a
secondary skill.
Native Outsider: Yautja are fast enough to
dodge bullets, if they see them coming and can,
because of their tough hides, shrug off most
small-calliber bullets. As a result of their two
outsider levels, yautja gain a +3 to Reflex,
Fortitude and Will saves, a +2 Base Attack
Bonus and have 16 skills points. Racial class
skills include Intimidate, Jump, Climb, Heal,
Move Silently, Listen and Survival. Yautja
receives the Endurance feat as its outsider feat.
They can hold their breath for several minutes.
Energy resistance 5 to fire, electrical,
acid, and radiation damage: For yautja, boiling
water gets uncomfortable after five minutes,
invulnerable to electricity and to radiation.
Medium-Size: Yautja average between
seven and eight feet tall, with females even
larger. They weigh in excess of 300 lbs.
Darkvision (Ex): Yautja can only see in one
spectrum of light, infrared. Yautja can see in the
dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white
only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and
yautja can function just fine with no light at all.
Light Sensitivity (Ex): Yautja are dazzled in
bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight
spell.
No Wealth: Yautja have no concept of
wealth. Their superior technology is earned, not
bought. Therefore, for purposes of purchasing
equipment, Yautja add their Wealth bonus to
their Reputation bonus. This combined number
determines what a Yautja can earn in
equipment.
Non-Yautja Are Prey: The yautja see all
non-yautja as prey. They cannot overcome this
stigmatism and dont socially deal well with other
races, so they have a 5 penalty to all diplomacy
checks.
ECL: 5. Yautja look like normal people, but
they don't act like them. They are cold,
detached, and often confused by the world
around them. Given enough time, an Alien
Hybrid might eventually adapt, but few humans
give them a chance.

This weapon is actually mounted directly on
the Predator's forearm and is triggered by fully Net Gun
extending his arm at a target. The net gun works like a normal net with the
following exceptions. The net is fired from a
hand held pistol (usually folded when not in use
Forearm Rocket and stored on a shin guard), which gives the net

embed themselves into it. The net is made out of
xerbinium, but the strands are thin so the
strength is a little less than normal items of
xerbinium. The net requires a Strength check
(DC 45) to burst free and has 30 hit points. A
person caught in a net can make an Escape
Artist check (DC 50) to escape.
Pining Fork
This is a projectile weapon shot from a wrist
projector (this is the same device used to fire a
wrist rocket). The pining fork is in the shape of a
Y with the inner part of the Y containing a
barbed edge, like a fishhook. The fork has
limited range, but its real use to cause bleeding
in prey. If a creature hit by a pining fork pulls it
out, they suffer an additional 1d8 points of
damage and will loose 1 hit point every other
round until the wound is bandaged.
Other Ranged Weapons
Burner
The burner is a lightweight, carbine-format
burner designed for use in close combat. It
shoots a 5-foot-wide, 90-foot-long line of flame
that deals 3d6 points of fire damage to all
creatures and objects in its path. No attack roll is
necessary, and thus no feat is needed to
operate the weapon effectively. Any creature
caught in the line of flame can make a Reflex
save (DC 15) to take half damage. Creatures
with cover get a bonus on their Reflex save.
The burner's ammunition has hardness 5 and
5 hit points. When wielded, the burner has a
Defense equal to 9 + the wielder's Dexterity
modifier + the wielder's class bonus. A burner
reduced to 0 hit points ruptures and explodes,
dealing 6d6 points of fire damage to the wearer
(no save allowed) and 3d6 points of splash
damage to creatures and objects in adjacent 5-
foot squares (Reflex save, DC 15, for half
damage).
Once the target is hit, fuel droplets from the
burner stick and continue to burn, inflicting 1d6
points of fire damage each subsequent round
until the flames are extinguished. A fire engulfing
a single creature or object can be doused or
smothered as a full-round action. Discharging a
fire extinguisher is a move action and instantly
smothers flames in a 10-foot-by-10-foot area.
A burner can shoot 10 times before the fuel
supply is depleted. Refilling or replacing a fuel
pack has a purchase DC of 13.
16 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
Chemical Sprayer
Similar to the burner, the chemical sprayer
can project toxins or acid. Predators usually use
this weapon when energy weapons would be too
dangerous (i.e., a caustic atmosphere) or when
they want to capture their prey alive.
It shoots a 5-foot-wide, 90-foot-long line of
acid that deals 3d6 points of acid damage to all
creatures and objects in its path. No attack roll is
necessary, and thus no feat is needed to
operate the weapon effectively. Any creature
caught in the line of acid can make a Reflex
save (DC 15) to take half damage. Creatures
with cover get a bonus on their Reflex save.
The chemical sprayer's ammunition has
hardness 5 and 5 hit points. When wielded, the
chemical sprayer has a Defense equal to 9 + the
wielder's Dexterity modifier + the wielder's class
bonus. A chemical sprayer reduced to 0 hit
points ruptures and explodes, dealing 6d6 points
of acid damage to the wearer (no save allowed)
and 3d6 points of splash damage to creatures
and objects in adjacent 5-foot squares (Reflex
save, DC 15, for half damage).
Once the target is hit, fuel droplets from the
chemical sprayer stick and continue to burn,
inflicting 1d6 points of acid damage each
subsequent round. Acid engulfing a single
creature or object can be doused as a full-round
action.
A chemical sprayer can shoot 10 times
before the fuel supply is depleted. Refilling or
replacing a fuel pack has a purchase DC of 13.
Smart Disk
One of the most advanced pieces of
equipment carried by the Predator, the smart
weapon is a flat disc shaped weapon that can be
held in the hand, or thrown at an opponent.
Computer controlled gyros guarantee that the
disc returns to its wielder. When activated, it
creates a disruptive field around itself, which can
cut through the hardest of metals. It's used
mostly for ranged combat, but it can also be
used in melee combat. A special ring, worn by
the thrower, indicates the landing position of the
disc. This way, when the disc returns, it
automatically adjusts to land on the throwers
fingers. The smart disc is bestowed upon
Ancients in a grand ceremony. This ceremony is
typically held on Homeworld or a Trophy Class
Hunter ship.
Longarms
Dual Heavy Laser Cannon
These dual heavy laser cannons rest on
each of the Predator's shoulder pads. The laser
sight gives an extra bonus to hit with the plasma
of +3. The sight is controlled by an IO interface
to a helmet and eye movement. This
functionality has been perfected over time and
has extremely fast response. Due to these
advancements, the normal 4 penalty to checks
has been negated for purposes of the laser
sight/IO port interface.
Plasma Caster
This plasma weapon rests on one of the
Predator's shoulder pads. The laser sight gives
an extra bonus to hit with the plasma of +3. The
sight is controlled by an IO interface to a helmet
and eye movement. This functionality has been
perfected over time and has extremely fast
response. Due to these advancements, the
normal 4 penalty to checks has been negated
for purposes of the laser sight/IO port interface.
In combat, with a single opponent, the more
experienced Yautja tends not to use this device
as it as felt it gives an unfair advantage. The
battery running the laser rack can run up to 10
years, and the battery generating the rounds is
effective for up to 8 months, but can be
recharged with a special kit.
Scattergun
The plasma shotgun is a multiple beam
th
weapon that acts quite similar to a 20 century
shotgun, except it shoots burning hot plasma.
Heavy Weapons
Micro-Missile Launcher
Similar to the plasma caster, the micro-
missile launcher rests on one of the Predator's
shoulder pads. The laser sight gives an extra
bonus to hit with the plasma of +3. The sight is
controlled by an IO interface to a helmet and eye
movement. This functionality has been perfected
over time and has extremely fast response. Due
to these advancements, the normal 4 penalty
to checks has been negated for purposes of the
laser sight/IO port interface. The missiles
themselves weigh about a pound.
Plasma Bolt Cannon
The plasma bolt cannon is a Yautja-portable
anti-armor weapon. The penetrating power is
such that is it rumored to be able to penetrate a
heavy tank within one mile.
Archaic Weapons
Combistick
This is a short spear, which extends from a 2
ft long shaft into a full-length spear. The spear
also has gyros in it to help keep the initial aim of
the spear on target. It will continually correct the
trajectory of the spear until the spear impacts a
target. The spear is also completely made of
xerbinium. Its battery lasts 2 years. In its longer
form, the combistick has reach. A Predator can
strike opponents 10 feet away with a combistick,
but it cant use it against an adjacent foe. If a
Predator uses a ready action to set a combistick
against a charge, it deals double damage on a
successful hit against a charging character.
Naginata, Yautja
The Yautja naginata is a beautiful weapon,
covered in rare gemstones and strengthened
with xerbinium. Blades top each end of the staff
and the entire weapon is immune to acid. It has
a conducting field similar to the cloaking device
that allows it to remain cloaked when in hand. A
Yautja naginata is a double weapon. A Predator
can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons,
but if it does, the Predator incurs all the normal
attack penalties associated with fighting with two
weapons, just as if the Predator were using a
one-handed weapon and a light weapon. A
Predator can use either head as the primary
weapon. The other is the off-hand weapon. A
creature wielding a Yautja naginata in one hand
cant use it as a double weapononly one end
of the weapon can be used in any given round. If
a Predator uses a ready action to set a naginata
against a charge, the Predator deals double
damage if it scores a hit against a charging
character. Predators treat Yautja naginatas as
martial weapons.
Scimitar, Yautja
This massive scimitar is common amongst
Predators of the lower castes.
Wrist Blades
These dual blades extend out of a forearm
sheath. They are slightly curved, as a natural
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 17
claw would be. They are extremely sharp and
are granted the keen ability. The activation of
the blades involves sensors tied to the muscles
in the forearm and wrist. When the yautja tenses
its muscles, makes a clenched fist and bends
the wrist inward, the blades extend for combat.
When any of these conditions are not met, the
blades retract. Depending on the way the
weapon is used this can be either a slashing or
piercing weapon. One common tactic to use
thrust the tips of the bladed through an
opponent, which would make it piercing. Another
is to slash the blades across an opponent, like a

Bio-Helmet
The helmet is not only protection for the
Yautja, but a symbol of their personality. Each
helmet is tailored to suit the tastes of the
individual Yautja. The size shape is completely
up to the Yautja. A Predator operates the mask
by pressing buttons with its tusks.
The features available to a helmet are
infrared vision (an enhancement of the Yautjas
natural vision), ultraviolet vision, low-light vision,
nightvision (darkvision), EM sensor and gamma
vision. For game purposes, the gamma vision
only works where there is enough gamma
radiation to affect vision. Typical areas are
space and outside on planets in low
atmospheres. The vision is equal to normal in
space and range in low atmosphere. The
tracking/firing system for the plasma caster
operates on an electromagnetic frequency,
which can be used to "track" (+3 equipment
bonus to attack rolls).
The helmet has highly advanced audio
reception and transmission capabilities. Its
sound amplification listening system enables the
Predator to pick-up, amplify and hear a whisper
300 feet away. A loudspeaker amplifies the
Predator's voice like a bullhorn. 80 decibels.
Range is roughly 4000 feet depending on
ambient noise. It also has a modulating voice
synthesizer that allows the Predator to
change/disguise its voice by altering tone, bass,
pitch, etc. All language translations and status
from a forearm computer are transmitted to the
18 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
sword. This would make is slashing. So the
weapon can be used either way. This weapon is
the preferred weapon of most skilled hunters. It
truly shows your skill when you can kill an
opponent in close combat.

These wrist blades are identical to their less
durable counterparts except they are immune to
acid damage and are an inch longer.

Each helmet also consists of a standard

with atmosphere equivalent of the Homeworld.
Cloaking Shield
The cloaking shield is the infiltration device
used by the Yautja. The shield uses a complex
design of imaging devices, camera and mirrors.
The cloaking shield is constantly taking images
in all directions and using the imagers to display
the image to the opposite side of the wearer.
The cloaking shield, while powered by an
extremely powerful computer, cannot always
keep up with the quick actions of a Yautja on the
run. This causes a slight distortion in the air
surrounding a Yautja. An extremely alert
opponent can see the distortion. The cloaking
shield adds a +20 to a wearers hide. This
device comes in the form of a belt. The belt is
controlled by a networked transceiver
connection to the forearm computer. The device
requires a large amount of energy to use. The
shield can be used for 20 rounds before it runs
out of energy. The shield requires 2 hours of
non-use to recharge.
Forearm Computer
The forearm computer controls many of the
devices used by the Yautja. It can control the
wrist rocket, the cloaking shield, the self-destruct
device, the helmets vision modes and the
plasma gun. The forearm computer also
contains a language translator, a voice recorder
(with 20 minutes of recording time) and is the
targeting computer for the laser sight on the
plasma gun. The forearm computer
communicates to all of the devices by a complex
series of networked and inducted transceivers.

Power Distribution Center (PDC)
This device powers all of the items carried by
a Yautja. It is a miniature fusion reactor and the
amount of energy it can put out is limitless for
game purposes. Each one of these items are
linked to a forearm computer to act as a self-
destruct mechanism. The typical delay time is 30
seconds and will take out an area of 300 square
blocks (1000 d6 of damage). If the connection to
the forearm computer is ever severed, the self-
destruct mechanism goes shuts down and
cannot be reactivated until; the link is
reestablished (repair device check of 30). The

not attached to the same creature, the self-

storage points. When an item equipped with an
attach mechanism is held near the PDC, it
activates a unique frequency which will activate
a magnetic connection. The item will be then
held in place. To remove an item all one had to
do it to grab the item and issue a command into
the forearm computer to release it. A helmet can
be setup to do this through verbal commands.

New Material
Xerbinium
This is the incredibly strong metal used in all
metallic items the Yautja used. The process for
mining and forging this material is a closely
guarded secret among the Yautja. This metal is
used in ship construction, weapon components
and computer components.
This ultrahard metal adds to the quality of a
weapon or suit of armor. Weapons fashioned
from xerbinium have a natural ability to bypass
hardness when sundering weapons or attacking
objects, ignoring hardness less than 20. Armor
made from xerbinium grants its wearer damage
reduction of 1/ if its light armor, 2/ if its
medium armor, and 3/ if its heavy armor.
Xerbinium is so costly that weapons and
armor made from it are always of masterwork
quality; the masterwork cost is included in the
prices given below. Thus, xerbinium weapons
and ammunition have a +1 enhancement bonus
on attack rolls, and the armor check penalty of
xerbinium armor is lessened by 1 compared to
ordinary armor of its type. Items without metal
parts cannot be made from xerbinium. An arrow
20 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
could be made of xerbinium, but a quarterstaff
could not.
Only weapons, armor, and shields normally
made of metal can be fashioned from xerbinium.
Weapons, armor and shields normally made of
steel that are made of xerbinium have one-third
more hit points than normal. Xerbinium has 50
hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 30.
Most xerbinium armors are one category
lighter than normal for purposes of movement
and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated
as medium, and medium armors are treated as
light, but light armors are still treated as light.
Maximum Dexterity bonus for armors and
shields made from xerbinium is increased by 2,
and armor check penalties are lessened by 3 (to
a minimum of 0).
An item made from xerbinium weighs half as
much as the same item made from other metals.
In the case of weapons, this lighter weight does
not change a weapons size category or the
ease with which it can be wielded (whether it is
light, one-handed, or two-handed). Items not
primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected
by being partially made of xerbinium. (A
longsword can be a xerbinium weapon, while a
scythe cannot be.)

Jag'd'ja Atoll (Mothership)
Jag'd'ja Atolls are used as mobile platforms
for other Predator ships, a sort of homebase
away from home. These titans are truly massive
and extremely sophisticated vessels, providing a
mobile base of operations for several
squadrons. Given their size, motherships are
typically lightly armed and armored. Jag'd'ja
Atolls have a Jump Value of 2.
Man'daca (Trophy Class)
The Predator Nations Trophy Class Hunters
are the standard vessel used by a Predator. A
pride usually consisting of anywhere from 3 or 4
to 40 Predators -- these vessels typically need
less. The vessel is elegantly designed appearing
vaguely like a fish with its tail curled back over
its head. The vessels are made of the resilient
yet light material known as Xerbinium that they
use to produce their weapons and armour. The
vessels are large, with internalised hangars for
four separate Predator shuttlecraft used by
individual predators on the Hunt. Trophy Class
Hunters are unarmed; not due to a lack of
powerful weapon systems, but because
Predators view combat between vessels as
disdainful when compared to the honourable
worthwhile challenge that is one on one
personal combat. A Trophy Class Hunter is not
totally defenseless, however, having powerful
size. It is also very difficult to detect and has an
integral Cloaking Device, which is used for
passing through hostile space or for allowing the
vessel to pass unnoticed on a populated alien
world.
Within the vessel are individual quarters
complete with attached trophy area for all
Predators on the vessel that make up its pride.
Additionally, there are areas to train and improve
their hunting skills as well as an extensive
holding cell area in the heart of the ship
designed to hold an Alien Queen and up to 400
eggs in stasis for release onto a world. Such
activities are common practice amongst the
Predators, who seed the Aliens onto barren
worlds and then return some years later to hunt
and hone their skills against them. The
Predators do this because they consider the
Aliens to be one of the most adaptable and
challenging of opponents they know of, at least
until they discovered mankind. Man'daca ships
have a Jump Value of 3.
Ner'uda (Standard Shuttle)
This standard shuttle accommodates one
Predator and his cargo for a solitary hunt. It is a
short range craft dedicated to planetary drops.
Upon landing, it buries itself until retrieved or, if
necessary, detonated to avoid capture.

Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 21

 Allegiances and Reputation
"Shit happens."
A Predator may have up to three allegiances,
listed in order from most important to least
important. These allegiances are indications of
what the Predator values in life, and may
encompass people, organizations, or ideals. A
Predator may have no allegiances (being a Bad
Blood) or may change allegiances as he or she
goes through life.
If the Predator acts in a way that is
detrimental to his or her allegiance, the GM may
choose to strip the Predator of that allegiance
(and all its benefits) and assign an allegiance
more suitable to those actions. Every time a
Predator betrays the code, he loses 1 point of
Reputation. If a Predator's reputation falls below
1 he becomes an Eta. If it falls below 0, he may
then begin to gain Reputation again as a Bad
Blood.
Pledging Allegiance
A Predators allegiance can take the form of
loyalty to a person, to an organization, to a belief
system, to a nation, or to an ethical or moral
philosophy. In general, a Predator can discard
an allegiance at any time, but may only gain a
new allegiance after attaining a new level.
Having an allegiance implies having sufficient
intelligence and wisdom to make a moral or
ethical choice. As a result, a Predator must have
Intelligence and Wisdom scores of 3 or higher in
order to select allegiances.
New Allegiances
Predators live by a very specific code of
behavior. This code appears similar to human
warriors codes such as bushido and chivalry in
that it promoted bravery, martial skill, and loyalty
to the pack. Most of their laws are obvious and
are dealt with by an Arbitrator. However,
sometimes when each party is accusing the
other, a wrestling match resolves the case.
Usually this is only to the knock out or off ring,
but in the case of one side accusing the other of
claiming the kill of another, it is to the death. The
most common reasons for a match, from most to
least common: Right to hunt, right for hunting
22 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
- Predator, Predator 2
grounds, to settle a petty dispute, to reclaim
honor, claiming the kill of another.
The Yautja Code
1. Hunt worthy game. When hunting, the
Hunter must be sure that his prey is
considered game, and lawful to kill.
Sometimes the Hunter will equal the
odds (not using the plasma-caster or
some other weapon). Worthy game
must fill the following criteria: Can
defend itself and/or is able to kill the
Hunter himself, of age (killing children is
considered the height of bad manners)
not linked to other lives (so that
removing the prey will not doom
another, e.g. pregnant women) and
unwilling to be hunted (what honor in
killing one who wants to die?).
2. Not fail in the Hunt. If the Hunter fails
in his Hunt he usually takes his own life,
preferring to die than to live in shame.
However, some cowards prefer to live in
obscurity rather than die. This is
considered to be dishonorable and
suicide is then "assisted" by an
Arbitrator.
3. Not claim the kill of another Hunter.
To take the trophy of another Hunter,
living or dead, is considered to be a
great insult. For example, two
Unblooded go on their first Hunt. One
Predator takes on an Alien and both are
mortally wounded. While the wounded
hunter is dying, the other hunter
conveniently finishes off the prey and
claims the kill as his own, abandoning
the wounded Predator. This is the most
embarrassing crime, and the hardest to
prove.
4. Never murder another Predator. To
kill another Predator intentionally. This
excludes self-defense and killing a foe in
 a wrestling match to settle a dispute.
This is the worst crime.
5. Never kill while cloaked. It is very
dishonorable for a Hunter to kill prey
while he is cloaked. It ignores all laws of
fair and honorable hunting, and giving
the prey a fighting chance. A Predator
who is discovered doing this is usually
banished from the Clan, and is
considered fair game for other Hunters.
The only exception with this is to
"remove" anything standing between the
Hunter and his prey, or if a creature
attacks the Hunter that he is not
Hunting.
6. Never harm the innocent. Those who
have done no harm should have no
harm done to them.
7. Only kill the weak when hunting for
food. This is to purify the species' line.
8. Show honor to another's kill. When
coming upon game wounded by another
hunter, and the animal is dying without
sport. If the game still shows sport, it is
to be a joint trophy.
9. Will not join another's hunt, or hunt
in their territory, without their
permission. All trophies taken by this
manner are stolen trophies, and shall be
dealt with by the rightful owner.
10. Will treat those who defeat them in a
fair hunt and show mercy as equals.
Predator must either kill their opponent
and themselves, or treat their opponent
as an equal.
11. Destroy any Predator who breaks the
Code. Those who break the Code are
renegades, and no longer considered to
be a Predator.
Allegiances and Influence
An allegiance can create an empathic bond
with others of the same allegiance. With the
GMs permission, the Predator gains a +2
circumstance bonus on Charisma-based skill
checks when dealing with someone of the same
allegianceas long as the Predator has had
some interaction with the other character to
discover the connections and bring the bonus
into play.
Fame and Infamy
Most Predators with a high Reputation bonus
(+4 or higher) are considered well known within
their profession or social circle. Whether this has
a positive or negative connotation depends on
the point of view of the person who recognizes
the hero.
When a character has a positive opinion of a
Predators reputation, the Predator is considered
to be famous by that character. Fame, when
recognized, provides a bonus to certain
Charisma-based skill checks.
When a character has a negative opinion of a
Predators reputation, the Predator is considered
to be infamous by that character. Also, at the
GMs option, a Predator might be considered
infamous in certain situations due to events that
have transpired in the campaign.
Infamy, when recognized, provides a penalty
to certain Charisma-based skill checks.
It should be noted that Predators pay close
attention to human society and respect
Reputations above all things. Should a human
character meet the criteria for the Hunt
according to the Predator Code, a high
Reputation means a Predator will likely hunt that
character.
Castes
Predators recognize various ranks in their
society that come with a minimum Reputation
bonus. Predators who break the Code can
eventually "flip" their Reputation, becoming Bad
Bloods and then begin gaining Reputation as
infamous amongst other Predators. It is possible
to rise in rank in Predator society but it takes
heroic effort and great risk.
Bad Blood
Bad Bloods are Predators who have lost all
Reputation and broken their allegiance to the
Yautja Code. To do so is to be marked for death
by Arbitrators.
Reputation: Bad Bloods can have any
Reputation score, but it always infamy to other
Predators.
Eta
The Eta are the untouchables of Predator
society. Be it a physical handicap or
psychological flaw, the Predator is incapable of
joining the hunt. Eta are servants and are
regularly abused by other Predators.
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 23

Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 25


Profile
By making a Gather Information check (DC
15) when talking to witnesses of a crime, the
Arbitrator compiles a rough mental picture of the
suspect. This mental picture provides a physical
description, including distinguishing markings
and visible mannerisms. Success makes the
profile accurate, at least concerning a particular
suspect as seen by witnesses. (For this Gather
Information check, no money changes hands.)
The Arbitrator can expand the profile by
making an Investigate check (DC 15) involving
the crime scene or other evidence linked to the
suspect. If successful, the Arbitrator combines
eyewitness accounts with forensic evidence to
develop a profile of the suspects method of
operation. This provides a +2 circumstance
bonus on any skill checks made to uncover
additional evidence or otherwise locate and
capture the suspect.
Contact
An Arbitrator cultivates associates and
informants. Each time the Arbitrator gains a
contact, the GM should develop a supporting
character to represent the contact. The player
can suggest the type of contact his or her
character wants to gain, but the contact must be
an ordinary character, not a heroic character.
A contact will not accompany an Arbitrator on
missions or risk his or her life. A contact can,
however, provide information or render a service
(make a specific skill check on the Arbitrators
behalf).
The Arbitrator gains a low-level contact, mid-
level contact, or high-level contact.
The Arbitrator cant call on the same contact
more than once in a week, and when he or she
does call on a contact, compensation may be
required for the assistance the contact renders.
In general, a professional associate wont be
compensated monetarily, but instead will
consider that the Arbitrator owes him or her a
favor. Contacts with underworld or street
connections usually demand monetary
compensation for the services they render, and
experts in the use of skills normally want to be
paid for the services they provide.
26 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
For underworld or street contacts, this
expense is represented by a Wealth check
against a purchase DC of 10 for the low-level
contact, 15 for the mid-level contact, or 20 for
the high-level contact. For skilled experts, the
purchase DC is 10 + the ranks the expert has in
the appropriate skill.
Bonus Feats
The Arbitrator gets a bonus feat. The bonus
feat must be selected from the following list, and
the Arbitrator must meet all the prerequisites of
the feat to select it.
Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Alertness,
Armor Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency
(medium), Brawl, Defensive Martial Arts, Dodge,
Double Tap, Educated, Knockout Punch,
Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot.
Non-Lethal Force
An Arbitrator becomes adept at using non-
lethal force to subdue an opponent. From this
point on, he or she can deal non-lethal damage
with a weapon that normally deals lethal
damage (if he or she so chooses) without taking
the normal 4 penalty on the attack roll.
Discern Lie
An Arbitrator develops the ability to gauge
whether another character is telling the truth by
reading facial expressions and interpreting body
language. The Arbitrator must be able to see
and hear (but not necessarily understand) the
individual under scrutiny.
With a successful Sense Motive check
opposed by the subjects Bluff check result or
against DC 10 (whichever is greater), the
Arbitrator can tell whether the subject is
deliberately and knowingly speaking a lie. This
ability doesnt reveal the truth, uncover
unintentional inaccuracies, or necessarily reveal
omissions in information.
Without a Trace
When an Arbitrator uses any of the following
skills: Balance, Climb, Disable Device, Escape
Artist, Hide, Move Silently, and Sleight of Hand,
those using Investigate, Listen, Search, or Spot
to detect the Arbitrators activity take a 4
penalty.

The mightiest of the Predators are the
veterans known as the Ba-kevthei. Almost all
had been one of the Honored and continued to
survive for centuries of hunts. Ironically, these
are the least concerned by the hunt anymore,
focusing their attention to their arthritis instead.
They are still great Warriors; they just have too
many trophies to care anymore. As a result, they
are more compassionate and disciplined than
most other Predator. Many have learned new
fighting techniques over the ages. For example,
one Ba-kevthei who had hunted in 16th century
Japan learned "Hira Baraki," or two sworded
combat, and continues to use it today, and has
two custom swords. These represent less than
1% of the entire population.

 Space Travel
"Ten years ago one of his kind stalked an eliminated an elite special forces crew in central America.
There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device
that destroyed enough rainforest to cover three hundred city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That's right
lieutenant. Otherworld life-forms."
Humanity has spread like a disease to the
rest of the universe, terraforming, colonizing,
and stripping planets for their own purposes,
only to pull up and move on. Most planets have
been disappointing few are made from human
habitation. Although dangerous life forms have
been encountered, none of them are intelligent
enough to pose a threat that mines and sentry
guns can't handle. So far
How It Works
There are two kinds of drives that power
spacecraft: Displacement Drives and Jump
Drives.
Displacement Drives displace the volume of
space directly in front of a spacecraft and drawn
the ship forward. It is a reactionless process,
capable of generating hundreds of G's of
acceleration. Theoretically, the maximum speed
of such a drive is the speed of light. In reality,
the massive amounts of energy consumed make
such a speed impossible. Most drives equipped
with Displacement Drives move at one-third the
speed of light as a result. As a result, very fast
ships have massive engines and little room for a
crew. The majority of ships have Displacement
Drives only and are restricted to their local
systems.
Jump Drives, on the other hand, build on the
reaction of Displacement Drives. It can be
activated when the spacecraft reaches one-fifth
the speed of light. Instead of distorting space,
the Jump Drive punches through it, allowing the
ship to enter hyperspace and emerge into
normal space several light years away. The
jump takes approximately 24 hours. Upon
arrival, the Jump Drive must recharge for six
days. During the six-day period, both Drives are
utterly inactive and very vulnerable to attack.
Jump Drives require accurate navigation
coordinates. The military had this knowledge
first, but Corporations eventually begged,
borrowed, and stole the information. In addition,
Peter Keyes, Predator 2
automated probes can be sent toward a star. If
it reaches the star's gravity well, the probe has
time to recharge its drives and return, feeding
the coordinates to their owners. This is a very
imprecise and costly process probes that are
off by a few coordinates can be billions of miles
off target.
All Jump Drives have a Jump Value ranging
from 1 to 5. For each Jump Value, the ship can
Jump 5 light years. In the Planet descriptions
below, all distances are given in the number of 5
light year Jumps necessary to cover the
distance. Thus, a ship with a Jump Value of 5
can cover a distance of 50 light years (or a Jump
Value of 10) with two jumps.
Spacecraft undergo considerable strain as a
result of Displacement and Jump travel. They
can only be serviced at bases, and each ship
takes approximately one month to maintain.
Most ships require service after 25 Jumps.
Pushing a ship further requires a Pilot check
(DC = 10 + # of weeks beyond 25).
If the Pilot check fails by 5, it is stranded. The
Drive used at the time (Displacement or Jump)
fails and cannot be repaired.
If the Pilot check fails by 10, it is powerless.
The vessel cannot use Jump or Displacement
Drives and can only support emergency life
support.
If the Pilot check fails by 11 or more, the ship
explodes in 1d20 rounds.
Landing on Planets
Landing on a planet with an aerodynamic
craft requires a piloting check of 20, minus the
size of the planet (the larger the planet is, the
more likely a flat stretch of ground suitable for a
landing field will be discovered), minus the AS.
Unless there are special conditions on the
planet, such as a tumultuous atmosphere or a
storm system that make the landing difficult, the
pilot can take 10 on this check.
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 33
 Sometimes a ship will crash while landing. If
a ship that isnt aerodynamic is forced to land, a
crash landing is the only kind of landing it can
make. When a ship makes a crash landing, it
takes damage based on its size as follows:
Colossal Ships take 16d6 Hull Points,
Gargantuan Ships 12d6, Huge Ships 9d6, Large
6d6, Medium 6d6, Small 5d6, Tiny 4d6, and
Diminutive 3d6. A Ship also suffers 1-6 Critical
Hits, one of which is always a Major Hull critical
from a crash landing. A Piloting check of 25
reduces the damage and number of criticals by
half.
Planets
The Marine Corps has conducted military
operations on more than two-dozen worlds and
deployed to trouble spots on many more.
Regardless of the temperature, climate, or
atmospheric conditions, Marines have to be
ready to fight.
Size: A planet's Size Rating is equal to its
radius in kilometers divided by 1,000. It takes a
ship a number of minutes equal to the planets
size, minus one minute per five points of the
ships Acceleration, to clear the atmosphere of a
planet. An aerodynamic ship, fighting an
opponent whose ship is not aerodynamic, is
unlikely to want to leave the atmosphere of any
planet. The size of a planet also determines its
gravity type.
Heavy gravity causes Balance, Climb,
Jump, Ride, Swim, and Tumble checks incur a
2 circumstance penalty, as do all attack rolls. All
item weights are effectively doubled, which
might affect a characters speed. Weapon
ranges are halved. A characters Strength and
Dexterity scores are not affected. Characters
who fall on a heavy gravity plane take 1d10
points of damage for each 10 feet fallen, to a
maximum of 20d10 points of damage.
Light gravity causes creatures to find that
they can lift more, but their movements tend to
be ungainly. Characters on a planet with the
light gravity trait take a 2 circumstance penalty
on attack rolls and Balance, Ride, Swim, and
Tumble checks. All items weigh half as much.
Weapon ranges double, and characters gain a
+2 circumstance bonus on Climb and Jump
checks.
Strength and Dexterity dont change as a
result of light gravity, but what you can do with
such scores does change. These advantages
apply to travelers from other planes as well as
natives.
34 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
Falling characters on a light gravity plane
take 1d4 points of damage for each 10 feet of
the fall (maximum 20d4).
No gravity causes individuals on a planet
with this trait to merely float in space, unless
other resources are available to provide a
direction for gravitys pull. Characters without the
Zero-G feat move at 1/4 Speed, suffer -6 to
Attack and Skill checks, modified by their Dex
Modifier. Also, if the character is using a weapon
with a Recoil Rating, he must make a Reflex
Save each round he attacks with that weapon
(DC 15, modified by the weapons Recoil), or be
considered prone, floating away in a random
direction each round until he is able to either
grab onto a solid object or make a Balance
check (DC as above +5) to right himself. Also, if
the character is forced to make a Reflex save for
any reason and fails, he suffers the above result.
Atmospheric Standard: The Atmospheric
Standard (AS) is the practical measure the
Marine Corps uses to determine how a Marine
will perform under different planetary conditions.
The Atmospheric Standard for Earth is 1.
An AS of 1 is what all terraformers aspire to.
To that end, cone-shaped atmosphere
processors are placed on inhospitable planets.
Powered by a 1.0 Terawatt fusion reactor, it
draws in the planetary atmospheres through a
series of louvers in the base and sides. This
atmosphere is then drawn up through a series of
hot mass processors, arranged in a ring around
the fusion core. Each processor draws in the
atmosphere through a battery of turbines, which
compress and accelerate the gas. The gas is
passed through a high temperature electrical
arc, which heats the gas and ionizes it.
Magnetic coils then heat the gas to near plasma
temperatures until the molecules are
disassociated into their component atoms. The
harmful byproducts are separated while the
remaining hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
atoms are expelled back into the atmosphere.
It is possible for a planet to have an
Atmospheric Standard without any specific
notation this means the planet may be
uncomfortable for human beings but not harmful.
Use Atmospheric Standards as modifiers
whenever a penalty would be accrued due to the
planet's particular environment.
High-pressure atmospheres inflict pressure
damage of 1d6 points per minute for every AS of
the planet's rating. A successful Fortitude save
(DC 15, +1 for each previous check) means the
Marine takes no damage in that minute.
 Low-pressure atmospheres cause all non-
acclimated creatures to struggle for breath.
Characters must succeed on a Fortitude save
each hour (DC 15, +1 per previous check + AS)
or be fatigued. The fatigue ends when the
character is depressurized.
In extremely low-pressure environments,
creatures are subject to both fatigue (as
described above) and pressure sickness.
Pressure sickness represents long-term oxygen
deprivation, and it affects mental and physical
ability scores. For every hour*AS a character
spends in the environment, he must succeed on
a Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 per previous check,
+ AS) or take 1 point of damage to all ability
scores. Creatures acclimated to the atmosphere
receive a +4 competence bonus on their saving
throws to resist pressure effects and pressure
sickness, but eventually even seasoned Marines
must abandon these dangerous elevations.
A caustic atmosphere is acidic, and
damages any ships or creatures in that
atmosphere. Characters and ships in a caustic
atmosphere suffer the AS in damage each
minute they remain in the planets atmosphere.
Acid damage is resisted by the Physical DR of
ships and spacesuits, however, any hull or suit
not designed for a caustic environment will lose
one DR each round, until the protection is gone.
Breathing a caustic atmosphere causes a
character to immediately begin smothering, and
inflicts 1d6 damage for each point of the planets
caustic modifier each round. Once the Physical
DR of a ship is breached, so is its hull.
Some planets are irradiated. This radiation
can either be from an outside source, or
internally generated. If a planet is irradiated, a
ship or character the AS in radiation damage
each minute they are close to the planet (close
enough to be within the planets atmosphere, if it
had one, is a good way to judge whats close
and what isnt). An unprotected character
exposed to the surface of such a world will take
1d6 + the planets AS rating points of radiation
damage each round.
Climate: Planets with frozen climates inflict
cold damage. An unprotected character in a
cold climate (below 40 F) must make a
Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, + 1 per
previous check + AS) or take the planet's AS
points of non-lethal damage. A character that
has the Survival skill may receive a bonus on
this saving throw and may be able to apply this
bonus to other characters as well (see the skill
Description).
A climate of frigid (below 0 F), causes
characters to make a Fortitude save once every
10 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check +
AS), taking AS points of non-lethal damage on
each failed save. A character that has the
Survival skill may receive a bonus on this saving
throw and may be able to apply this bonus to
other characters as well (see the skill
description). Characters wearing protective
clothing only need check once per hour for cold
and exposure damage.
A character that takes any non-lethal
damage from cold or exposure is beset by
frostbite or hypothermia (treat her as fatigued).
These penalties end when the character
recovers the non-lethal damage she took from
the cold and exposure.
A climate of frozen deals the planet's AS in
lethal damage per minute (no save). In addition,
a character must make a Fortitude save (DC 15,
+1 per previous check + AS) or take AS points
of non-lethal damage.
A character in a hot climate (above 90 F)
must make a Fortitude saving throw each hour
(DC 15, +1 for each previous check + AS) or
take AS points of non-lethal damage. Characters
wearing heavy clothing or armor of any sort take
a 4 penalty on their saves. A character with the
Survival skill may receive a bonus on this saving
throw and may be able to apply this bonus to
other characters as well (see the skill
description). Characters reduced to
unconsciousness begin taking lethal damage
(1d4 points per hour).
In very hot (above 110 F) climates, a
character must make a Fortitude save once
every 10 minutes (DC 15, +1 for each previous
check + AS) or take AS points of non-lethal
damage. Characters wearing heavy clothing or
armor of any sort take a 4 penalty on their
saves. A character with the Survival skill may
receive a bonus on this saving throw and may
be able to apply this bonus to other characters
as well. Characters reduced to unconsciousness
begin taking lethal damage (1d4 points per each
10-minute period).
A character that takes any non-lethal
damage from heat exposure now suffers from
heatstroke and is fatigued. These penalties end
when the character recovers the non-lethal
damage she took from the heat.
Torrid climates (air temperature over 140 F)
deal lethal damage. Breathing air in these
temperatures deals AS points of damage per
minute (no save). In addition, a character must
make a Fortitude save every 5 minutes (DC 15,
Predator: Cazador de Trofeos - 35
+1 per previous check + AS) or take AS points
of non-lethal damage. Those wearing heavy
clothing or any sort of armor take a 4 penalty
on their saves.
Primary Terrain: This is the closest terrain
that describes the majority of environments a
visiting character is likely to encounter. Planets
with "various" as their Primary Terrain have as
many diverse terrains as Earth.
Natural Resources: Natural resources
determine the most common valuable
commodity native to the planet in question.
Craft or Profession checks related to the natural
resource receive a circumstance bonus
depending on the Trade Modifier.
Indigenous Life Forms: The most
commonly encountered creatures on the planet.
Some creatures are known for their life forms
and these creatures have a higher chance of
being encountered. See the Monsters chapter
for more details.
Population: Population determines how
many people live on the planet. The less people
there are, the harder it is to make a Wealth
check on that planet.
Population Population Modifier
None -3
Hundreds -2
Thousands -1
Millions 0 Primary Terrain: Desert
Billions +1
Conversely, the size of a population
dedicated to a particular type of government
(military) or trade (industrial) can work in PCs
favor.
Population Trade Modifier
None -2
Hundreds -1
Thousands 0 Ryushi has dual suns, and has a 19-hour
Millions +1
Billions +2
Starports and Bases: Many planets merely
have frontier installations, which are just
enough resources to service ships in and out.
All ship-related checks to repair of looking for
36 Predator: Cazador de Trofoes
parts suffer a trade modifier as a circumstance
penalty. Other planets are considerably more
advanced with starports. Starports do not
bestow any penalties.
Government: Most governments are either
run by Corporations or by the military. If the PC
is from the appropriate background, he receives
the Population Modifier as circumstance bonus
to all Charisma-based skill checks.
Campaign: What campaign the world is
appropriate for. In some cases, the planets
have not yet been explored and are only
appropriate for USMC.
Trade: All Craft, Profession, and Wealth
checks receive the Trade Modifier as a bonus or
penalty.
Closest Jumps: How many light years it
takes to reach that particular planet. Jump Drive
navigation is a carefully regulated secret; PCs
can't just hop to any planet they please. Finding
a new route to a planet should be an adventure
in itself. The Jump Distance represents how
many light years (multiplied by 5) a ship must
Jump to reach the next planet.

The Unblooded are young Predators who
have yet to go on Hunt. They are forbidden from
attacking Aliens or challenging each other to the
death.
COMBAT
Unblooded Predators are unpredictable
because they have not yet been tested in
combat. While they may possess weapons, it is
unlikely they will be fully versed in their use.
Nevertheless, even an inexperienced Predator is
more than a match for most other species.

Young Bloods have achieved their first
successful Hunt. They are on their way to
becoming Blooded but are usually still reckless
and headstrong.
COMBAT
Young Bloods are much more dangerous
than Unblooded because they are inexperienced
but don't know it. Brash and overconfident,
Young Bloods take unnecessary risks to prove
themselves to their elders and gain reputation.

Blooded are experienced hunters who have
killed multiple opponents.
COMBAT
Blooded Predators are confident,
experienced, and know enough to watch their
opponents for prolonged periods of time. They
will stalk their prey, analyze their movements
and behaviors, and even enjoy taunting them
into making foolish mistakes.

The Honored are the elite of Predator
society. They've hunted more than even the
average Blooded.
COMBAT
A single Honored Predator can take out an
entire squad of fully armed Marines. They are at
the peak of physical performance and hone their
deadly craft on a daily basis. The Honored are
few, but they are the definition of deadly.

Ancients are Predators who have beaten the
odds, surviving long past their prime despite
their repeated Hunts. They have killed
thousands of prey.
COMBAT
Ancient Predators do not normally engage
opponents in one-on-one combat, content to
allow other, younger Predators the opportunity
for glory. Instead, they usually direct the action.
Only in a great war or when pressed will
Ancients join the fray.
