speak. When he is
gone, the world will

 HALO RPG
Alright Spartan, perk up your ears, cause I’m only going to say this once. You gotta know the
rules of war before you hop in to combat and start throwing stickies at everything that moves. The
following documents will give you the basics, but they’re no substitute for real experience.

Starting Off Hindrances

Things are going to be a tad different here than in Now Spartans won’t be perfect, but there are some

“I Need A Weapon”
Alright Spartan, time to go over the basics of the gear you’ll be using out in the field. I trust you already
know how to fire a rifle, so I’ll spare you the long boring details. Here’s the technical information for all
the equipment and weapons you’ll have access to. Once that’s out of the way, we’ll go over what you’ll be
starting with in the field. All weapons require 2 hands unless noted.

Special Notes
Spartan Laser – Upon firing the Spartan Laser, the
weapon will require a full round to recharge
before it can be fired again.
Needler – Upon a successful hit with the needler
(even if the damage done doesn’t beat the target’s
toughness) a needle sticks in the target. If the
target survives seven needles stuck in him, the
seven needles will explode causing 4d6 damage
ignoring armor.
Plasma Grenade – The plasma grenade will stick
to the wall or target it is thrown at and explode the
next round.
Plasma Pistol/Rifle – You may spend an action to
charge the weapon by making a shooting roll and
hitting the TN. The charge increases the damage
to +2 and the ammo cost from 1 to 10. Charging it
a second time increases the weapon’s AP to 4.
Firebomb – Creates a fire in the area of the
explosion that lasts for 2 rounds.
Spike grenade – There is an additional blast of
shrapnel in a large burst template. The shrapnel
does 2d8 damage. This damage is rolled
separately from the explosion damage. The
shrapnel can be avoided just like the grenade.
 ARMOR

Armor Notes
Battle Suit – Increases Strength by one die type,
adds +2 to pace, allows users to jump 2d6”
horizontally or 1d6” vertically. Has short and long
range communication device. All human weapons
are linked to the internal targeting system, giving
+1 to shooting rolls. Contains a radar unit that scans
in a 30” diameter and reports on live targets and
moving inorganic targets. Does not distinguish
between faction.
Shields – Shields function as a solid object that
block incoming attacks. The shields on armor cover
every part of the body the armor covers. Any type
of damage can damage the shield. Plasma based
weapons have an easier time hurting shields. You
must destroy the shields before you can hit the
target.
Light Shielding – Toughness 10 (6 vs. Plasma)
Medium Shielding – Toughness 12 (8 vs Plasma)
Heavy Shielding – Toughness 14 (10 vs Plasma)
Personal Shield units take five minutes to recharge,
or require a shield re-charger to be dropped.

until the shield is destroyed.
Flare – Creates a bright flash of light in a large
burst template.

gives anything that steps in it a 12” boost in to the
air. Lasts for 5 rounds or until destroyed. Has a
toughness of 12, all weapons damage it.
Power Drain – Disables all shields in a large burst
template and disables all vehicles. Lasts for 1
round.
Radar Jammer – Disables radars in a large burst
template by showing large amounts of random
activity. Lasts for 3 rounds or until destroyed. Has a
toughness of 8, -4 called shot to hit, and any
weapon damages it.
Regenerator – Takes two rounds but regenerates all
armor shield units. Lasts for two rounds or until
destroyed. Has toughness 10, all weapon types hurt
it.
Trip Mine – 4d6 damage, Med Burst Template, AP5,
HW. Lasts until triggered, shot at -4 shooting, or 15
rounds. Shooting triggers the explosion.
