Chapter 1 Character Changes

This chapter covers all of the changes to AvP characters.

Feral World this covers most colony worlds when they are first settled. Once the population becomes large enough,
they are no longer Feral. Some worlds still fit the WH40K definition.
Hive World this covers any heavily populated & industrialized world or station. While the population is not as high as in
WH40K, people live just as densely.
Imperial World this covers any world that has been colonized long enough to tame the environment and have large
urban centers. Most are corporate owned.

Briefing: Yautja encountered away from the home world are all warriors. While they do have a sophisticated culture, the
only ones encountered to date have come from the Warrior Caste. It is assumed that they have other castes, but they are
beyond the remit of this report.
The Yautja are a dangerous species that thrives on conflict, specifically one on one conflict. They engage in hunts for
dangerous species including humans.
There is a standard kill on sight order in regards to this species.

Chapter 2.1 Yautja Equipment

Chapter 2.1.1 Weapons of the Yautja
All Yautja weapons are considered exotic weapons. Yautja treat them as normal weapons. All are resistant to acid
(specifically from Xenomorphs), furthermore Chakram & Combi-Sticks are unaffected by acid. Any melee weapon can be
made of this metal; this removes the primitive quality & makes them acid resistant.

Chakram
This is a throwing device with several retractable blades. They are made of a nearly indestructible material of unknown
origin (possibly adamantium). It is usually thrown, but can be used in melee as well.
Page 7 of 18

3/28/2014

Combi-Stick
These are both melee & thrown weapons. They are made of a nearly indestructible material of unknown origin (possibly
adamantium). They are also extremely light weight. They are normally less than 1 meter in length, but can be extended to
2 meters as needed.
Laserweb
This small device can be attached to any surface. Once activated it forms a web of lasers capable of killing anything that
passes through it. The Laserweb remains active for 1d5 hours.
Net Gun
This is usually a wrist mounted device that fires a net. This is used to trap prey when there are multiple targets or they are
too dangerous to approach. The net is made out of a similar metal to their other equipment. As such, it has an AP of 4 and
10 wounds.
Pinning Fork
This is another wrist mounted device. It fires a u-shaped dart that can either pin a target to a nearby surface or kill them
outright.
Plasma Caster
This is usually mounted on the shoulder where it links to the Yautjas mask. When attached in this manner, it can be fired
repeatedly without needing to recharge or overheating. It can be removed from the shoulder and used as a pistol, but it
can only be fired every other round.
Self-Destruct Mechanism
This is part of the wrist gauntlet and is used if the Yautja determines it needs to remove all traces of the hunt (i.e. overrun
by Xenomorphs). This completely destroys anything in a 250m radius, but be set larger or to implode instead.
Smart Disk
This is another wrist mounted device. It fires a frictionless disk, programmed to seek out a specific magnetic pattern. This
grants a +5 bonus to attacks. It can, however, be disrupted by a large enough magnet (becoming embedded in the
magnet).
Wrist Blades
The last of the wrist mounted weapons, wrist blades are two retractable blades attached to the wrist. They can be
retracted into their housing or extended to twice their normal length.
Chapter 2.1.2 Armor of the Yautja
The armor worn by the Yautja all provides basic protection from environmental factors, such as heat and cold. All suits
worn are custom made for or by the Yautja in question. Additionally, the Yautja tend to customize their armor to celebrate
their various victories.

Ceremonial Armor
This is worn primarily by the most experienced hunters (and even then only rarely). It provides the most protection
available to the Yautja and is as much a status symbol as it is armor. It contains a mesh suit that can be used to attach
various devices and plates to protect important parts of the Yautjas anatomy.
Hunter Armor
This is the default armor worn by Yautja. It contains a mesh suit that can be used to attach various devices and plates to
protect important parts of the Yautjas anatomy.
Hunting Mesh-Suit
This provides no defense against the creatures being hunted, but does provide surprising protection against the elements.
It is designed to attach various devices for easy access.
Page 8 of 18

Mask
Not only does this provide protection from attack, but it also contains a variety of useful items, including a targeting matrix,
the ability to filter harmful chemicals out of the atmosphere, and a variety of vision enhancements. This provides a +20 to
all perception checks.
Chapter 2.1.3 Other Yautja Equipment
Following is a lost of some of the non-standard equipment available to the Yautja.
Bio-Chemical Acid - 0.5 kg
This is used to dissolve flesh and remove traces of a hunt or threat. It comes in a container that holds 10 uses, but it will
regenerate over time (approximately 1 use for every 10 minutes).
Survival Pack 50 kg
This pack comes with everything the Yautja needs for a hunt (aside from weapons). It includes a medical kit and the tools
needed to clean / prepare trophies.
Tracker 0.1 kg
By removing some of the fluid from a creature, the Yautja can bring up any information on the creature and use his mask
to assist in tracking it. This grants a +10 to all tracking attempts.
Wrist Gauntlet 0.1 kg
This contains the computer that controls all of the Yautjas equipment, the auto-destruct device, and data on the current
world the Yautja is on. It also acts as a communicator and GPS.
Cloaking Device
This device provides camouflage for the Yautja. It provides a +10% bonus to concealment tests involving the Yautja when
moving or +20% when standing still. If immersed in water, the device will not work for 5+1d10 minutes.

Lone Wolf
You prefer to hunt alone. Others do not bother you; you just have no need (or desire) to spend time with others. You are
skilled enough to hunt alone, and prefer to do so. Many Lone Wolves also act as the police for the Yautja and put their
talents to tracking down those who break their traditions and codes.

Honored One
Honored Ones are Yautja that have survived hundreds of hunts. Surprisingly, they rarely go on hunts themselves any
more. They are the first layer of their peoples government, acting as advisors to the clan leaders. They are also
responsible for training the young and are the primary police force of their people. Many monitor communications for signs
of trouble (ships crashing, hunting parties overrun, etc)

Ancient
Yautja live for several centuries (exactly how long is unknown as most die on the hunt). Ancients are Yautja that have
lived for several centuries and gone on thousands of hunts. They rarely, if ever, bother to hunt any more acting as the

spiritual leaders for their people. They resolve disputes between clans and are accorded the greatest respect. When one
deigns to hunt (possibly by having his honor impugned or being made angry by his lesser), all Yautja take notice.
Ancients almost always hunt alone, and are among the most dangerous killers in the galaxy.

Chapter 3 Xenomorphs
Alien and deadly, the Xenomorphs are the single most dangerous threat man has encountered thus far. They are capable
of wiping out entire colonies in a matter of days. Worse, the Yautja are frequently not far behind an infestation. The
responses to a reported outbreak are swift and brutal.
Chapter 3.1 Xenomorph Standard Traits
Extra Limb, Tail: They can use this tail to attack anything within 1 meter (front, back & sides). 1d5 + SB damage.
Acid Blood: They use a bioorganic acid for their blood, any hit that does more than 5 points, sprays acid in a 90 degree
arc from the wound. The acid lasts for 1d10 rounds & does full damage each round. Make an agility check to avoid
damage Hand-to-Hand (less than 1 meter) is hard, 1 2 meters is difficult, 3 4 meters is challenging, and over 5
meters is ordinary. The acid does 1d10 damage per round it destroys armor at 1 AP every other round. Note: An attack
that uses fire does not cause the Xenomorph to bleed.
Disturbing & Fearsome: They are very unnatural creatures this gives them a minimum fear rating of 1.
Regeneration: They regenerate & can re-grow lost limbs. They are still capable of scarring and bleeding stops within 1d5
rounds. They do not regain wounds from this. Note: The acid is dangerous for 1d10 rounds. This is counted from the time
the bleeding stops unless the Xenomorph moves every round.
Sustained Life: They are very hardy creatures capable of surviving in a wide variety of environments. They can even
operate with little or no atmosphere (such as space) for a surprising length of time (unless injured). They are capable of
being frozen for an indefinite period of time, able to be revived with electricity or heat.
Hive Mind: It is unknown exactly how they communicate. They may communicate through a form of telepathy, using
pheromones, vibration through the walls of the hive, or some other method. The hissing and other such sounds that they
make are either for emphasis or entirely involuntary. This allows them to act in a surprisingly coordinated fashion and
react to a threat rapidly. Note: Any telepath who spends time around a hive suffers from terrible nightmares.
Dark Vision: It is unknown how they see as the have no eyes. They may use sonar, radar or enhanced hearing. They can
operate in little or no light without penalties.
Stealthy: Xenomorphs gain a +10 to Stealth checks made within a hive as they are designed to blend in. Additionally,
there is a -10 modifier to anyone trying to detect them using infrared as they are room temperature.
Silicon-based Lifeform: Xenomorphs are silicon-based. This renders them immune to most diseases and toxins that
affect humans.

Form: Crawler (it appears as a 6 fingered hand)
Size: Puny
Class: Predatory Silicate Gestalt
Armor: 2 (primitive)
Fear: 1 (3 if the character knows what it can do)
Attacks
Tail: 1d5 + 5 I (it uses this to render its host unconscious)
Talents: Fearless, Resistance to Acid (+10%), Sprint
Skills: Climb +30%, Concealment +30%, Silent Move: +30%, Tracking +10%
Traits
Gestalt: Facehuggers (as they are called) start their existence as an egg. They can remain in this form for literally
centuries (and possibly millennia). When a suitable host comes along, the egg hatches. It also sends out a telepathic or
pheromone signal to keep others from hatching & attaching themselves to their chosen victim.
Implantation: The facehugger exists for only 1 reason, to implant a fetal Xenomorph into a host. The chestburster will exit
the victim 1d10 hours (longer if treated in a medical facility) after implantation.
Leap: Facehuggers have a truly incredible ability to leap and can cover up 10 meters by using their powerful tail as a
spring (hence the fact that they have a BS and no WS). Once they hit, they immediately initiate a grapple.
Toxic: Facehuggers use a powerful nerve gas to render their victims unconscious. This requires the facehugger to have r
successfully grappled their victim. Once grappled, they place their victim in a deep sleep-like state, this cannot be
resisted.
Life Support: Facehuggers acquire the nutrients needed to keep their host alive until the chestburster is capable of
surviving without the host. They can keep a host alive in any environment short of a vacuum.
Grappling: Facehuggers are excellent at grappling and this is their preferred method of attack. They are considered to
have unnatural strength when grappling.
