Background:
Land of Origin: North America (Inyo National Forest - Coyote Flat, California)
Character's Family Background: Raised by Parents: Family was hard-working middle class and
dedicated to the ideals of then- country. Character is still attached to the family and tries hard to live up to
their ideals.
Birth Order: First of Twins
Disposition: Eliot Noctis seems to be a laid-back, fun-loving kind of guy; He has Leadership qualities,
and he is Honorable & Powerful, Opportunistic, and he is & is filled with Energy but he is never satisfied.
Eliot Noctis is a self-reliant lone wolf, & is always on the move.
Childhood Environment: Countryside, small town or village. (Inyo National Forest - Coyote Flat,
California)
Social/Economic Background: Laborer/Middle Class
The Cause of the Mutation: Dimensional Energy from the Rifts
When Extraordinary Abilities First Manifested: Early Adulthood
Appearance: The character looks like an average athletic Hispanic/White American human male, that
has done extensive physical conditioning, other than that very unremarkable, his body is a cross between
a Olympic class acrobat/gymnast and a runner, but he moves like a panther on the prowl, he is almost
always is wearing his utility belt and battle harness where ever he goes,
Animals (most, anyway) will not recognize the Character as a human or as a predator. Deer will graze
and birds will continue to chirp in the character's presence.
The Character is completely invisible to all forms of mechanical detection, photographic devices and
sensors including radar, motion detectors, heat sensors and cameras (appears as a bit of data corruption
in digital media). This means he is invisible to robots and all mechanical sensors and optic systems, and
can walk through electrical eyes, light/laser sensors, motion detectors, scanners, and cameras, and not
activate them or be photographed. An alarm will be triggered only if a physical contact is broken. Even
Positronic Robots and bionic sensors & optics are useless, they see only a slight blur that is hard to
follow or target. Likewise, lie detectors, metal detectors, x-ray machines, EKGs, Cat-Scans, retinal
scanners, bionic implants, and any detection or scanning device directed at him/her will not work.
Devices used by The Character work perfectly.
Disadvantages & Limitations:
The power is always on.
Life-saving medical equipment (Nano-tech included) is powerless to help the character, and even
automatic doors and toys with sensor eyes do no respond to the character - of course, machines and
devices that require manual command input still work.
The character can never be photographed
Any person who looks at the character who fails a save of 15, M.E. bonuses applying, will be hard-
pressed to remember anything at all about him even if the character talked with them, saved them from a
dragon, or ate their children. The description will be on the tip of their tongue, but they just won't quite
remember what he looked like or what he did. This power tends to result in descriptions like "average
height, average build, wearing ... something beige. I think." Anyone who uses Total Recall or has a
combined I.Q. and M.E. of 30 or more will be able to remember normal details about the unnoteworthy
character, but not an extraordinary amount of detail.

Agony Strike: A particularly cruel and painful attack that incapacitates its victim with pain. Under the
influence of the attack, the victim has no attacks per melee, cannot move or even speak; only writhe in
agony. Although there is no physical damage (no S.D.C. or hit points are lost), the pain is very real, and it
will take another minute for the victim to regain his full composure. During that minute his number of
attacks per melee are reduced by half, speed is reduced by half, and he suffers a penalty of — 1 to strike,
parry and dodge.
Pain Strike: By manipulating the nerve centers the martial artist can induce terrible pain, shooting
throughout the body. Victims are -6 to strike, parry, and dodge, and take one point of damage off their Hit
Points (not S.D.C.) per each minute affected.
Paralysis Strike: This attack immobilizes the motor part of the brain, causing legs and arms to stop
functioning. Victims are completely incapacitated for the duration. Note: A paralyzed character can still
use psionics but only if he has line of sight on his intended target. Spell casters need to speak, so they
cannot cast spells while paralyzed.
Pins & Needles Strike: Effect: This unique attack causes its victim to experience the stinging "pins and
needles" sensation as if the blood flow in that particular limb of the casters choice has been temporarily
cut off and then restored. If used on a leg the victim will run at 1/2 speed, -4 to dodge, and have a -5%
skill penalty from the distraction. Any skill requiring the use of a leg will be at -25%. If used on an arm,
that particular arm will be -4 to strike and parry, and any skills requiring manual dexterity will be at -25%,
other skills will only have a -5% penalty. If used on the head, the victim's face will become flush and is
very distracting giving them a -1 on initiative, strike, parry, and dodge bonuses as well as a -5% skill
penalty unless trying to speak in which the character has a -40% language penalty! They will also have a
temporary -2 to their M.A. and P.B. as no one can take their appearance and voice seriously. Using this
attack on the torso will give the victim a -2 initiative, -1 strike, parry, and dodge, and a -5% skill penalty.
Also when used upon the torso, sex will be no pleasure less no matter how hard the victim tries, even if
affected by the orgasm spell. On the plus side, however, any limb affected by this spell is impervious to
all other pain, which can be a boon to wounded people with no anesthetics handy.
Release Strike: The attacker manipulates the victim's pressure points in such a way that the victim either
vomits or defecates or urinates. This attack requires a natural Strike roll of 14 or better. The attacker
chooses the effect. If the attack is successful, the victim loses initiative, and 1D6 melee actions.
Stun Strike: This attack disorients and confuses its victims. Victims forfeit one attack per melee, speed is
cut by half, and the character is -4 to strike, parry, dodge, disarm, and all combat moves.
Dragon Power Punch: 3D4+ (27)
Tiger Kick: 2D8+ (27),
Leopard Hand Strike: 2D4+ (27)
Snake Snap Kick: 1D10+ (27)
Crane Elbow Strike: 2D4+ (27)
Dragon claw to the throat: Crush and tear out throat. (1D6+27)*4 to hit points. Additional 4 hit points
lost per minute. Equivalent to double critical damage and shock.
Forearm to the temple: Potentially lethal if the attacker breaks the temporal bone. (1D6+ 27)*2 to head
SDC and another half of that to hit points. Speed, attacks, and skills reduced by 25%. Equivalent to
medium injury and shock.
Tiger palm to the nose: Drive the cartilage into the brain. (1D6+27)*3 to hit points. Additional 2D6 hit
points lost per minute. Equivalent to triple heavy injury and shock.
Snake hand to the eyes (or crane hand or mantis hand etc.): Poke out the eyes. (1D4+27)*2 to hit points.
Additional 2 hit points lost per minute. Blindness with all its penalties! 50% chance of irreparable damage
to the eyes. Equivalent to triple medium injury and shock.
Panther paw to throat: Crush the throat. (1D6+27)*3 to hit points. Double medium injury and shock. [On
the other hand, you can just use the table for normal death blows...]
Dirt in the Eye: This is the typical "pick up a handful of dirt and throw it in his eye" move. Requires a
strike roll of 15 or better. If successful, the opponent is stunned, losing one action, and suffers a -4 to all
combat rolls until he gets his eyes washed.
Hit to the Groin: This can be performed with the hands, knees, feet, clubs, or whatever. Requires a strike
roll of 13. If successful, the victim must roll a saving throw versus pain of 13 or better. If the saving throw
fails, the victim loses initiative and two attacks. Inflicts 1D4 damage.
Eye Gouge: This is an attempt to plunge one of your thumbs into the opponent's eyes. Requires a strike
roll of 14. If successful, the opponent must roll a saving throw versus pain, or be incapacitated for 1D4
melee rounds. He will be blind in that eye for 3D6 hours, and there is a 75% chance of permanent
blindness. Inflicts 1D6 damage.
Nose Bite: This is an attempt to bit the tip of the opponent's nose off. Requires a strike roll of 16. If
successful, the victim will be stunned for 1D4 melee rounds, losing initiative and two attacks, and he will
suffer a -3 penalty to all actions. Inflicts only 1D3 damage, but bleeds at twice the normal rate.
Foot Stomp: This is simply bringing your foot down on the opponent's arch. Requires a strike roll of 14. If
successful, the victim is reduced to 75% normal Spd., loses initiative and one action for 1D4 melee
rounds. There is a 25% chance that the foot will be broken, in which case, the penalties remain until it is
healed. Inflicts 1D6 damage.
Groin Slap: (used against someone who is holding you, this is a "slap" to the groin. Requires a strike roll
of 13 or better, inflicts 1D6 damage, plus the victim must Save vs. Pain, or lose Initiative and 1-2 attacks),
Groin Kick with Hammer Strike: (This requires two strike rolls. The first is for a kick to the groin, which,
if successful, inflicts 1D8+27, and a Save as per the Groin Slap, followed up by a Hammer Fist to the face
or back of the neck for 1D8+27).
The character is a skilled boxer & will Automatically Knockout opponents on a natural twenty for 1D6
melee rounds. Unlike normal Knockout/Stun this does NOT have to be declared before the strike roll.
If the character with this skill declares a simultaneous attack in melee combat, he may negate his
opponent's attack if he successfully strikes. That is, his opponent's attack doesn't count at all! The strike
must be a Punch, Snap Kick or a simple weapon Thrust. Also, there is no time to put any real force behind
the strike, so no P.S. bonus applies to damage. See the rules for simultaneous attacks for details.
No penalties to strike, parry or dodge while up to waist high in water (or similar substance). Only -2 to
strike parry or dodge while up to chest high in water.
Halve the Prowl penalties from armor types.
The character can actually swim while in full armor at only -8%.
This skill is much revered, giving the character the ability to function properly in full clad armor, in
bodies of water. The character trains heavily in combat katas while up to chest deep in lakes and rivers.
The flow, weight and pressure of the water against the bulk and weight of the armor eventually fail to
impede the character. Provides the following bonuses:
No penalties to strike, parry, or dodge while up to waist high in water (or similar substance).
Only -2 to strike, -2 to parry, or -2 to dodge while up to chest high in water.
Halve the Prowl penalties from armor types.
The character can actually swim while in full armor at only -8%.
(1.) Bonuses: The character's combat training and background provides the following bonuses.
+2D6+6 to S.D.C,
+1D4 to M.A. and P.S. attributes,
+1 melee attack/action per round.
+1 on initiative at levels 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15.
+2 to disarm in hand to hand combat or Called Shot.
+2 to pull punch at levels 1, 4, 8 and 12.
+1 to strike on "called" shots at levels 2, 5 and 11.
+2 to save vs. mind control and possession, but remains vulnerable to other types of psionics and magic.
+5% to save vs. Coma & Death.
+2 to save vs. Horror Factor at levels 2, 4, 8, 12 and 15.
(2.) Recognize Weapon Quality: This is the standard Military Skill ability as described under the
Headhunter Techno-Warrior
O.C.C. (includes the +25% bonus).
Recognize Weapons Quality: The ability to determine the level of a weapon’s quality, including
craftsmanship, weight, balance, edge, metal strength and so on. The character can also recognize if the
weapon is crafted by a dwarf, kobold or other master weapon smiths, and if it may have bonuses to strike,
parry or damage, or other special (magic) properties. Although the person may be able to tell that a
weapon is superbly crafted, with bonuses, it is impossible to determine exactly what these bonuses are
until used in combat or intense practice. Reduce the skill ability by ½ if the item is not actually handled
(seen but not touched/examined.)
Base Skill: 25+5% per level of experience. (70%)
(3.) Headhunter's Find Contraband: This is the standard skill enabling the character to track down all
types of contraband with an emphasis on electronics, armor, weapons, and cybernetics/bionics.
Base Skill: 53% +3% per level of experience when hunting down weapons, armor, bionics and
electronics/computers. -5% for finding all other types of contraband. (69%)
(4.) Contacts: The character starts with none, other than a few rumors regarding possible contacts. With
time, the Headhunter is likely to develop a network of "contacts" pertaining to arms dealers, underground
dealers of surveillance equipment and electronics, smugglers, Operators/Mechanics, Cyber-Docs and the
operators of Body-Chop-Shops, and Assassins. If he is a regular client, the particular "dealer" is likely to
offer to sell him additional information and goods. When a strong relationship is established, the contact
is likely to offer the character a 10%-20% discount and first rights of refusal to rare, experimental and
powerful (stolen) items. This may also apply to various other criminal or underground groups, thieves,
safe-houses, and scoundrels (Forger, Safecracker, Assassin, etc.). G.M.s, use your discretion. Role-playing
should be required.

Cloaking:
The character is completely invisible to all forms of mechanical detection, photographic devices and
sensors including radar, motion detectors, heat sensors and cameras (appears as a bit of data corruption in
digital media). This means he/she is invisible to robots and all mechanical sensors and optic systems, and
can walk through electrical eyes, light/laser sensors, motion detectors, scanners, and cameras, and not
activate them or be photographed. An alarm will be triggered only if a physical contact is broken. Even
Positronic Robots and bionic sensors & optics are useless, they see only a slight blur that is hard to follow
or target. Likewise, lie detectors, metal detectors, x-ray machines, EKGs, Cat-Scans, retinal scanners,
bionic implants, and any detection or scanning device directed at him/her will not work. Devices used by
the character work perfectly.
1. Other Abilities & Bonuses:
The character tends not to be noticed even by people.
+10% to prowl, palming, and concealment.
2. Disadvantages & Limitations:
The power is always on.
Life-saving medical equipment (Nano-tech included) is powerless to help this character, and even
automatic doors and toys with sensor eyes do no respond to this character - of course, machines and
devices that require manual command input still work.
The character can never be photographed.
Range Limitations of the Cloaking Power: Self and all possessions on his/her person. At third level the
character can extend this aura of protection to include one additional person or large object (motorcycle,
jet pack, cart, etc.), provided that the individual or item remains within 1m of him/her.
Intangibility:
This power affects the bonding element of molecules, making the person and additional material on their
person (see below) intangible - seen but not touched. While intangible, the character is seen as a
semitransparent, ghost image of themselves. They are perfect spies, being nearly invisible and silent, and
nothing short of energy fields can stop them. Their appearance allows can be a bit harrowing.
1. Abilities:
Limited Invulnerability: Intangibility means that punches, kicks, sticks and stones, bullets, heat lasers (IR
& UV), missiles, explosive force, and most attacks pass right through harmlessly.
The character can walk through almost any substance, stone, steel, earth, machines, force fields, etc.,
without affecting it or themselves. Energy fields however cannot be passed through (the character's
molecular state is repelled by the energy field).
In the character's state they can walk on the dense molecules of smoke or fog (and thus into the air), as
well as walk on water. This requires intense concentration and uses up three actions every round of
combat.
Passing through electrical devices has a 25% +5% per level (55%) chance of short circuiting them,
rendering them useless. Most components must be replaced and 1d6x10+40% of all information is lost on
hard drives. Against energy weapons (and any device that operates on electricity or computer chips),
moving through them has a 70% +3% per level (92%) chance of rendering the device inoperative for at
least 2d6+8 minutes (10-20). After the third level the character can concentrate (-2 on initiative and loses
one action) to negate this effect.
Through partial intangibility, the character can reduce his weight to one- third of the normal value. After
level five, drop this to one- tenth. The weight- shift requires ten seconds to perform (and to un- perform).
Provides a +3 to roll with punch, fall, or impact and falls do less damage according to the weight
reduction (if, for some reason, the character chooses not to become intangible).
Can turn any part of his body intangible (or tangible in an intangible state). The character can perform
skills with intangible limbs (phasing through plates and unphasing the fingers) but suffers a -25% penalty
or more if he cannot see what he is doing with his hands (X-ray vision is a real bonus here). He cannot
use this for combat without practice (see below).
The character can shift from tangible, to partially tangible, or intangible in a matter of seconds (counts as
one action).
At level one, the character can make extra non-living matter intangible. The limit is 50 kilograms plus 10
kilograms per level (70 kg [155lbs.]), with a range of touch. If the character discontinues contact with the
phased matter it instantly reverts to solidity (could be very harmful or even deadly if phased into a person,
-4 strike penalty if used as an attack). Making an object intangible or tangible requires one action. The
range is touch, and extra matter can be made intangible for up to ten minutes per level of experience.
At level three, the character can make living matter intangible. The limit is 50 kilograms plus 10
kilograms per level (70 kg [155 lbs.]), with a range of touch. If the character discontinues contact with the
phased matter it instantly reverts to solidity (and will probably die if inside an object at the time). Making
a person intangible or tangible requires two actions. The range is touch, and extra matter can be made
intangible for up to ten minutes per level of experience.
At level five the player may select one of these two alternatives: either a pretty dangerous ability or a
pretty deadly one! At level nine the other option is gained.
Option One: it is possible to engage in melee combat by turning only fists or legs tangible (tricky indeed!)
The concentration required causes the loss of one melee action and a -2 on initiative. Attempts to hit the
character's limbs must be called strikes with -4 penalties. Successful hits means the character takes full
damage.
Option Two: Though the character can choose to pass though living matter without harming it, he can
partially materialize for an offensive effect. Passing through anything can be deadly for both the character
and the victim if the 'anything' is a living creature! This special ability usually takes places as what is
called a 'phasing' punch or kick.
Both the character and the victim make a saving throw of 15 or higher (add P.E save bonuses, the
character gets an extra +1 to save at levels six and nine). If the victim saves no damage is taken and the
intangible being is 'fought off' or 'rejected.' If the character saves successfully he takes no damage - failure
means 1d6 hit points of damage. If both fail the saving throw the victim and phaser's bodies get mixed up
and die instantly. If both succeed the saving throw then both are rejected with no damage.
The damage of such an attack is 1d6 per full two levels of experience (meaning 2d6 at level five and 3d6
at level six), direct to the victim's hit points. It is not possible to regenerate phased damage - it must be
healed back normally and super ability/ magic/ psionic healing works at half strength. Striking at the
victim's brain or heart is pretty deadly. If the victim fails the above save throw (or the damage is enough
to deplete the victim's hit points) he immediately goes into a coma. Recovery from the coma is made at
+20%, but medical attention is required (could be conventional, holistic, or paranormal, but not
regenerative).
Clearly, option two is more deadly - for both parties involved!
2. Other Abilities & Bonuses:
+1d6 to M.A.
+1d4x10 to S.D.C.
Intangible Auto-Dodge, the character can simply phase through an attack. And then become tangible
again, consuming no actions, and has a +3 to do so (P.P. and combat training bonuses do not apply, but
any bonuses directly relating to Auto-Dodge of course apply).
+20% to Prowl
Horror Factor: 14 when semi-transparent or walking through walls.
3. Vulnerabilities & Limitations:
The character is not completely invulnerable when intangible. Electricity, ion blasts, and particle beams
stimulate and agitate molecules, inflicting half damage. Photon beams severe molecules with impudence,
doing full damage! Intense heat, fire, or plasma does 1/3 its normal damage. Psionics have full effect, as
well as most forms of magic.
Cannot float or glide into the air.
Unnoteworthy:
This is another pseudo-psi power that makes a person inconspicuous. There is no bonus to prowl or hide,
but a person who fails a save of 15, M.E. bonuses applying, will be hard-pressed to remember anything at
all about the character even if the character talked with them, saved them from a dragon, or ate their
children. The description will be on the tip of their tongue, but they just won't quite remember what he
looked like or what he did. This power tends to result in descriptions like "average height, average build,
wearing ... something beige. I think." Anyone who uses Total Recall or has a combined I.Q. and M.E. of
30 or more will be able to remember normal details about the unnoteworthy character, but not an
extraordinary amount of detail.
Stealth Ability:
The character has several small abilities that comprise his unnatural stealth.
(Note: that none of these abilities work in combat to much adrenaline and such).
Gains a bonus of +30% to Prowl skill, or use that as a base if the skill is not possessed. He can even jog
(running at half speed) while prowling and make no more noise than if he were walking.
He can mask his body heat to be equal with those of his surroundings, thus becoming invisible to thermo-
vision and heat sensing devices. Body temperature can be varied (plus or minus) by 3 degrees Celsius at
level one, plus 1 degree per level of experience. This ability requires concentration (-2 on initiative and
loss of one melee action).
His 'natural odor' is almost imperceptible, causing a -30% to attempts to track him, or sense by smell
alone (or require a difficult perception roll).
He can slow down his heart rate, breathe almost noiselessly, and move so silently that attempts to hear
him suffer a -30% penalty (or require a difficult perception roll).
His natural stealth gives him a +4 bonus to perception, +10% to Detect Ambushes, +10% on Tracking,
and +10% to Track Animals.
Animals (most, anyway) will not recognize the character as a human or as a predator. Deer will graze and
birds will continue to chirp in the character's presence.
Adhesion:
Characters with this power are able to attach themselves to any solid surface by their fingers and hands,
toes and feet. This means that the person can walk on walls or ceilings, can climb any surface effortlessly,
and is terrific at catching fly balls.
The only limits to this power are the character's own strength and speed. Attempting to carry a heavy load
greater than his/her P.S.x5 in kilograms (4500 kg; 9921 lbs.) will cause the character to fall off whatever
they are adhering too. Speed climbing and crawling along walls and ceilings is equal to half the running
speed (In the case of Extraordinary or Super Sonic Speed, climbing is 1/4 their maximum speed).
Restrictions: Loose rocks, crumbling plaster, ice, oil or other slippery stuff will prevent adhesion. -15%
when the character is wearing shoes or gloves.
Bonuses:
+10% to Prowl when climbing on the ceiling or wall (Can't move faster than a quarter of climbing speed
and prowl)
+15% to Palming Pick Pockets, and Concealment
+5% to acrobatics and/or gymnastics
+1 to P.P.
Bio-Aura:
The character's aura is able to extend the effect of the character's super abilities to certain objects carried
and clothes worn. His super powers extend through his aura. Thus, a person who can transform into
electricity or water affects their clothes too. A shapeshifter can alter their form while wearing full
environmental armor. A person with growth or shrinking abilities needs not find a set of clothes to suit
them - their clothes and armor are affected just as if they were part of the character's body.
When dealing with armor and super powers, use the higher A.R. of the two. As for the S.D.C. tm, count the
armor's S.D.C.tm as a bonus and subtract damage from that first. Remember, the character's armor takes on
the same traits as the character himself (if the character is impervious to fire and heat, so is the armor).
Electronic and mechanical devices do not change with the character, but they aren't damaged either. This
includes firearms, energy weapons, binoculars, flashlights, and other such objects. Personal items
(watches, glasses, wallets, rings) are affected easily. Assume that the character's aura affects normal
amounts of clothes and personal items, one suit of armor worn, and a couple melee weapons. If an object
is dropped after being affected (whether by Growth or by Alter Physical Structure: Electricity) it retains
the character's properties until the character discontinues use of their super abilities.
If the character possesses the Alternate Form minor ability (described above) or shape-shifting, the Bio-
Aura kicks in when the change begins. The character's clothes and armor are not damaged by the
transformation into another form, but do not exist in the alternate form either. When the character turns
back into the human shape, the clothes and armor are there just as if nothing happened.
With this power, copies of clothing and personal items can be made for clones via the Multiple
Beings/Selves power. Modern weapons and armor (complex structures) are not duplicated.
Bio- Aura has the effect of 'negating' the influence of worn clothing and objects so that they don't count
towards weight or object limitations, leaving more 'space' or weight available for use.

opponent's attack if he successfully strikes. That is, his opponent's attack doesn't count at all! The strike
must be a Punch, Snap Kick or a simple weapon Thrust. Also, there is no time to put any real force behind
the strike, so no P.S. bonus applies to damage. See the rules for simultaneous attacks for details.

Pressure Point Control Tactics.
Bonuses: +2 to Hold/Lock, Pin/Incapacitate, or Entangle (this bonus applies both to the initial
attack/defense and to subsequent attempts to maintain or break the hold). If the character does not possess
one or more of the above attacks, the training includes an Entangle attack.
Knock-Out/Stun on Natural 20 (if the character already has a Knock-Out/ Stun attack, from Hand to Hand
training, Boxing, etc., reduce the target number by one.
Knockdown attack - using basic pressure points, the character numbs the opponent's leg briefly; just long
enough to force them to fall. May be performed with a kick or with a blunt weapon (commonly a
nightstick or similar instrument). Does normal damage for the application method (i.e., normal kick or
weapon damage), and the opponent loses initiative and one attack. Requires a called shot (12 or higher,
bonuses included). Rolls under 12 which hit do normal kick damage only. Successfully rolling with a
knockdown kick means the character does not fall, but suffers normal damage. Maintain Balance rolls are
at -5 vs. a knockdown kick of this type.
Disarm punch/kick - using basic pressure points, the character numbs the opponent's arm briefly; just long
enough to cause them to drop their weapon or other carried object. Does the character's normal punch
damage (1d4 or higher; N&SS/MC characters may use the Fore-Knuckle, Double Knuckle Punch, and
Power Punch, Snap Kick, Wheel Kick, Roundhouse Kick, Axe Kick, Power Kick strikes as well), and acts
as a Disarm attack. The disarm punch takes two attacks. As with the Knockdown attack, a called shot
(12+ with bonuses) is required; lower rolls do normal damage but do not cause the Disarm effect. Rolling
with a Disarm punch means it does normal punch damage, but does not cause a Disarm. At the GM's
option, the Disarm punch may be used to force opponents to break Locks, Holds, and similar attacks, as
well.

Krav means “combat", "fighting", or "battle". Maga translates as "touching" or "in contact", and Krav
Maga is usually translated as "Combat Contact". This is the official fighting style of the Israeli Defense
Forces, and was initially secret. But in 1963-64, the style became open to civilians, and has since spread
to places such as Brazil, the USA, France, Norway, and England. It teaches it's students a philosophy of
independence and self-confidence. It has four main principals: Courage, Emotional Stability, Patience,
and Self-Respect. In combat, the philosophy ranges from "don't get hurt", to" kill the other guy before he
kills you". One of the more unique aspects of Krav Maga is that it adapts to the student, instead of the
student adapting to it. This is part of what makes it popular.
Today, the style is taught to all kinds of people, from children to elderly people. Most of the students
study the self-defense aspects, but never really get into the street fighting techniques. It has become
popular with many law-enforcement officials and military personnel, including the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and
several Brazilian Special Forces units.
Krav Maga first appeared about 40 years ago. It was created by the Israeli Defense Forces to teach self-
defense to many people with varying abilities in a short amount of time. Krav Maga utilizes techniques
from Aikido, Boxing, Judo, Jujitsu, and Karate. The style builds on natural reflexes so the student can
build up a number of simple, effective techniques for different situations, especially grappling. Krav
Maga has no Katas or specific sequences that must be followed. Students use the basic sequence of moves
with dynamic moves to fend off an attack, the idea being to adapt and improvise. Students are also taught
effective striking techniques. Punching is taken from boxing as opposed to the traditional martial art
styles and low kicks to knee and groin are emphasized. Defense against stick, knife, gun, and bayonet
rifle are also taught. As training continues, techniques to deal with multiple armed opponents are
introduced. Situations do not have specific sequences since predicting the actions of people is nearly
impossible, so the student is taught to cope with any situation. In addition, hostage situations, covert
debilitation, and assassination are taught.
Entrance Requirements: No Alignment Restrictions. Minimum Attributes are: I.Q.: 8, P.P.: 10.
Skill Cost: 6 Years (4 Years as a Secondary Martial Art Style).
Costume: Casual sweat pants, tennis shoes, and a white t-shirt; Or a Standard Gi
Stance: Initially none. Students are taught to react from various natural positions, such as sitting, or lying
down. Once combat starts, the student assumes a stance with his feet spread shoulder's-width apart. The
majority of his weight is carried on the front foot. His body is turned slightly (providing a smaller target,
and protecting the groin), and his hands are at shoulder level, in front of his face.

Agony Strike: A particularly cruel and painful attack that incapacitates its victim with pain. Under the
influence of the attack, the victim has no attacks per melee, cannot move or even speak; only writhe in
agony. Although there is no physical damage (no S.D.C. or hit points are lost), the pain is very real, and it
will take another minute for the victim to regain his full composure. During that minute his number of
attacks per melee are reduced by half, speed is reduced by half, and he suffers a penalty of — 1 to strike,
parry and dodge.
Pain Strike: By manipulating the nerve centers the martial artist can induce terrible pain, shooting
throughout the body. Victims are -6 to strike, parry, and dodge, and take one point of damage off their Hit
Points (not S.D.C.) per each minute affected.
Paralysis Strike: This attack immobilizes the motor part of the brain, causing legs and arms to stop
functioning. Victims are completely incapacitated for the duration. Note: A paralyzed character can still
use psionics but only if he has line of sight on his intended target. Spell casters need to speak, so they
cannot cast spells while paralyzed.
Pins & Needles Strike: Effect: This unique attack causes its victim to experience the stinging "pins and
needles" sensation as if the blood flow in that particular limb of the casters choice has been temporarily
cut off and then restored. If used on a leg the victim will run at 1/2 speed, -4 to dodge, and have a -5%
skill penalty from the distraction. Any skill requiring the use of a leg will be at -25%. If used on an arm,
that particular arm will be -4 to strike and parry, and any skills requiring manual dexterity will be at -25%,
other skills will only have a -5% penalty. If used on the head, the victim's face will become flush and is
very distracting giving them a -1 on initiative, strike, parry, and dodge bonuses as well as a -5% skill
penalty unless trying to speak in which the character has a -40% language penalty! They will also have a
temporary -2 to their M.A. and P.B. as no one can take their appearance and voice seriously. Using this
attack on the torso will give the victim a -2 initiative, -1 strike, parry, and dodge, and a -5% skill penalty.
Also when used upon the torso, sex will be no pleasure less no matter how hard the victim tries, even if
affected by the orgasm spell. On the plus side, however, any limb affected by this spell is impervious to
all other pain, which can be a boon to wounded people with no anesthetics handy.
Release Strike: The attacker manipulates the victim's pressure points in such a way that the victim either
vomits or defecates or urinates. This attack requires a natural Strike roll of 14 or better. The attacker
chooses the effect. If the attack is successful, the victim loses initiative, and 1D6 melee actions.
Stun Strike: This attack disorients and confuses its victims. Victims forfeit one attack per melee, speed is
cut by half, and the character is -4 to strike, parry, dodge, disarm, and all combat moves.

Dirt in the Eye: This is the typical "pick up a handful of dirt and throw it in his eye" move. Requires a
strike roll of 15 or better. If successful, the opponent is stunned, losing one action, and suffers a -4 to all
combat rolls until he gets his eyes washed.
Hit to the Groin: This can be performed with the hands, knees, feet, clubs, or whatever. Requires a strike
roll of 13. If successful, the victim must roll a saving throw versus pain of 13 or better. If the saving throw
fails, the victim loses initiative and two attacks. Inflicts 1D4 damage.
Eye Gouge: This is an attempt to plunge one of your thumbs into the opponent's eyes. Requires a strike
roll of 14. If successful, the opponent must roll a saving throw versus pain, or be incapacitated for 1D4

blindness. Inflicts 1D6 damage.
Nose Bite: This is an attempt to bit the tip of the opponent's nose off. Requires a strike roll of 16. If
successful, the victim will be stunned for 1D4 melee rounds, losing initiative and two attacks, and he will
suffer a -3 penalty to all actions. Inflicts only 1D3 damage, but bleeds at twice the normal rate.
Foot Stomp: This is simply bringing your foot down on the opponent's arch. Requires a strike roll of 14. If
successful, the victim is reduced to 75% normal Spd., loses initiative and one action for 1D4 melee
rounds. There is a 25% chance that the foot will be broken, in which case, the penalties remain until it is
healed. Inflicts 1D6 damage.
Groin Slap: (used against someone who is holding you, this is a "slap" to the groin. Requires a strike roll
of 13 or better, inflicts 1D6 damage, plus the victim must Save vs. Pain, or lose Initiative and 1-2 attacks),
Groin Kick with Hammer Strike: (This requires two strike rolls. The first is for a kick to the groin, which,
if successful, inflicts 1D8 damage, and a Save as per the Groin Slap, followed up by a Hammer Fist to the

(2) Hidden [L & R Underside Forearm] Mounted Silver Injecting Dart Gun: This is a specialized non-
lethal small arms used by police and other individuals to incapacitate a person. It fires a dart into the
target, which is connected by a wire to the gun and delivers a small electrical shock. It is able to subdue
and knock out a target, similar in effect to a Neural Mace. This weapon is designed to be used against
opponents that are especially vulnerable to silver weapons. Also it can fire small syringe like darts that is
tipped with a reinforced silver needle. When it hits a target, it injects a fine silver powder suspended in a
gel. This weapon inflicts damage direct to hit points to creatures specifically affected by silver. As well,
the creature’s regeneration of the damage is greatly reduced. If the creature heals damage per melee (15
seconds) the regeneration becomes for every 15 minute period. If the creature heals damage per minute, it
becomes per hour. If the creature heals per hour, it becomes per day. This weapon has no special effect to
creatures that are not vulnerable to silver. The dust is too small for vampires to use turning to mist to lose
the dust. It can also be imbedded into the heart of a vampire like normal silver weapons.
Damage: 6D6 Hit Points or M.D.C. to creatures especially vulnerable to silver (With reduced
regeneration as well) for the darts and is effectively a stun weapon that releases an energy charge that
temporarily short-circuits the nervous system. There is a chance of rendering an unarmored person
unconscious, but even if the individual remains conscious, the charge will impair his movements.
Penalties:
- 8 to strike, parry, and dodge for 2D4 melees. The duration of the impairment is increased 2D4 melees
for every hit by the mace (also roll each time to see if knocked unconscious). Save vs Neural Mace
is the same as saving against non-lethal poison, 16 or higher. The character must save each time he or
she is struck. Note: The mace is ineffective against environmental body and power armor, but is effective
against half suits, or body armor without a helmet (not fully environmental without the helmet attached)

Damage: 4D6+ (25) Bonus. M.DC.: 100]
(1) Backpack [Holds: A hatchet for cutting wood, (1) Tent, (1) Rolled up Bedroll, (1) Gas mask/w (10)
air filters, (1) Tinted high-impact polarized goggles, (1) Tinted high-impact polarized sunglasses, (2)
RMK, (2) IRMSS kits, (2) Canteens (single gallon), Freeze-dried combat rations (1D4+4 week supply),

(1) Knapsack: [Holds: NG-S2 survival pack, (2) Mace: A stinging chemical spray that blinds one's
opponent (much better than hair spray). Victims are -6 to strike, parry and dodge. Effective Range: 4 to 6
feet (7.2 to 1.8 m). Duration: 4D4 melees., with about 20 sprays before empty (20 reloads), (8) Tear Gas:
This extremely potent irritant temporarily impairs vision and respiration, causing eyes to burn and water
profusely, skin to burn (a sensation, not in actuality), and making breathing very difficult. Victims are -6
to strike, parry, dodge, and lose any chance for initiative. Effects are immediate. Saving Throw: None (gas
masks counter the gas effectively). (20 reloads), (8) Knockout Gas: These are tranquilizers; anesthesia-
type mists that will induce drowsiness within 1 D4 melees and sleep within 1 D4 minutes. Saving Throw:
If a character makes a successful saving throw vs toxins, his body has successfully fought off the effects
of the gas and is unimpaired. However. the player must roll once for every minute (four melees) that the
character is exposed to the gas (20 reloads)]
(1) ‘Nox-Comm.’ communications unit: A/V system, designed to operate w/in the effects of ECM-like
effects, such as Nox’s natural ‘stealth/cloak’ – direct, sub-space comm.-link to Takara & ‘Bio-
Tron’(essentially, global range).
w/ Nox, the effect is automatic(for the device, only) – but, also allows the wearer the ability to ‘See
Invisible/Infra-red/Ultra-violet’(Same as the Psionic/Magic Effect).
‘Transception’ in interrupted, when w/in 1 mile of a Ley Line, or w/in 5 miles of a Nexus.
Recharges via sub-space friction
w/ appropriate Communications & Engineering Skill Rolls [77+%] can be adjusted like any other comm.
device [10 mile range]
If internal workings are tampered w/(w/o knowledge of Fraanid Technology), will explode after 1d4 sec.
[1d4 x10 combustion damage – leaves nothing but ashes]
These rifles are assigned to elite sniper units in the military and are also popular among assassins and big
game hunters. The Free World Council has purchased several hundred to deal with kreeghor officers,
especially Royal Kreeghor who are nearly invulnerable to conventional weapons.

Vehicle:
HX-288 Street Tornado Hover-cycle:
The Street Tornado is a fast, sleek hover vehicle that is a cross between a conventional hovercycle and a
military rocket bike. It has one heavy-duty jet thruster in the back, plus four directional thrusters and ten
tiny directional jets (mostly in the undercarriage) for excellent speed and control. Unlike most
commercial hover-cycles which do not exceed 200 mph (320 km) or a height of 20 feet (6.1 m), the HX-
288 can rocket to speeds in excess of 300 mph (480 km) and an altitude of 2000 feet (610 m). This makes
it suitable for high speed chases, street use, and able to reach the roof tops of buildings and skyscrapers.
A special whisper mode quiets the powerful engine to purr softer than a new car, giving the rider some
measure of stealth even on his hovercycle (-30% on the pilot’s Prowl skill when flying along at 40
mph/64 km or slower). Weapon systems include a front laser turret and 4-6 mini-missiles, the latter
mounted on the stubby wings. A very popular vehicle, second to the NEMA motorcycle.
M.D.C. by Location:
Laser Turret (1; front) - 22
Front Windshield (1) - 10
Headlight (1) - 5**
Rocket Jet (1; rear) - 65
Large, Rear Directional Jets (4, two on each side) - 15 each
Tiny Directional Jets (10) - 2 each **
Tail Fin (1) - 25
Wings (2) - 35 each **
Main Body – 118
Every item marked by a single asterisk is small and/or difficult to strike. An attacker must make a “called
shot” to hit and even then he is -4 to strike.
Destroying one of the wings or tail inflicts a piloting skill penalty of -10% and reduces speed by 20%;
accumulative damage and penalties for losing both wings and/or tail.
Destroying one set of the rear directional jets negates the +2 to dodge bonus and reduces speed by 40%
(or -20% per each of the four jets).
Destroying the rocket engine, only, means maximum speed is 250 mph (400 km).
Destroying six or more of the tiny directional jets will eventually make the vehicle wobbly and -10% on
piloting Skill. 1
Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body completely destroys the vehicle.
Speed: Flying: 250 mph (400 km) maximum without the rocket thrusters engaged. 350 mph (560 km)
with the thrusters engaged. Cruising speed, however, ranges between 70 and 150 mph (112 and 240 km).
VTOL capable, can hover stationary, move in a straight line, up and down; retractable landing gear.
Maximum altitude is limited to about 2000 feet (610 m).
Water: The Street Tornado can also skim across the surface of water at a speed of 210 mph (336 km/
178.5 knots) or greater, but is ‘not submersible.
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply provides the vehicle decades of life and it can be flown
continuously for 12 hours without fear of overheating.
Statistical Data:
Height: 6 feet (1.8 m).
Width: 6 feet (1.8 m) from wing tip to wing tip.
Length: 13 feet (3.9 m).
Weight: 1000 pounds (450 kg).
Cargo: Only enough to stow an energy rifle, three E-Clips and a backpack (usually hooked to the outside),
but it can pull up to one ton of cargo (reduce speed by 30% and rocketing is not possible without losing
the cargo).
Power System: Nuclear, average cycle’s energy life is 20 years.
Cost & Availability: Exclusive to NEMA and select Special Forces of regional police. Any found outside
of NEMA were found or stolen and sell for upwards of 900,000 credits or equivalent in trade.
(Rare Note: Commercial hover-cycles usually have gasoline and electric engines or are solar powered,
have a maxi mum speed of 200 mph (320 km), a maximum hover height of 20 feet (6.1 m; typically ride 3-
5 feet/0.9 to 1.5 m above the ground), but could jump 100 feet (30.5 m) across and 40 feet
(12.2 m) high. Main body has the equivalent of 6-12 M.D.C., with all other parts being S.D.C., there is no
laser weapon, nor rocket thruster, and maximum range is 600 miles (960 km) per energy charge or 300
miles (480 km) per tank of gas. Solar engines recharge constantly, provided there is sufficient sunlight,
with batteries topping off after six hours, but cost 20% more.)
1. Sensors/Communications: Long- and short-range radio and short-range radar (can track 48 targets
simultaneously), Heads-Up Display, and video communications.
2. Bonuses: +2 to dodge and +5% to do aerial tricks and maneuvers. Also see Pulse Laser for strike
bonus, combat troops as a means of transportation, observation and troop support. The vehicle is a
slightly oblong, circular, open-air platform that can be covered with a light, semi-transparent bubble top
(15 M.D.C.), but usually goes topless. Since most combat troops wear body armor of some sort, the cover
is usually seen as a nuisance. Special drains and light M.D.C. materials protect the interior from weather
damage. A large, high-powered spotlight is commonly mounted on a turret in the middle of the vehicle,
but a weapon such as the Laser Cannon of the MX-366 Street Bruiser ATV, rail gun (any), mini-missile
launcher or other weapon and smaller spotlight can be substituted. However, the standard four double-
barreled laser turrets provide considerable fire power. Each laser turret is usually manned by an individual
gunner for maximum fire power, but the pilot or co-pilot can fire one turret at a time from a master
control. The center light and/or weapon system is usually operated by the pilot or co-pilot (it has 360
degree rotation and a 90 degree arc of fire). A pair of small lights are located at four locations around the
platform and though recessed, can be pointed in a 30 degree arc in all directions to illuminate multiple
areas at night.
The reliable and quiet platform can hover as close to the ground as two feet (0.6 m) or as high as 500 feet
(152 m), has VTOL capabilities, and retractable landing gear. A trio of large jets are recessed in the
undercarriage to provide lift and speed along with eight concealed maneuvering jets in the lower ring of
the vehicle. The versatile hover vehicle is frequently used to insert and extract reconnaissance squads,
haul cargo, Evac the injured and function as an observation platform as well as being used by special
teams, Intel-Agents and Military Specialists.
Money:
The character starts off with:
2l0, 000 in credits
20, 000 in gems
220, 000 in black market salable items.
Cybernetic Implants:
Silver Retractable Vibro-Blades (large): (modified to work with powers)
Concealed in the forearm until extended for combat, there are a total of three on each hand extending out
of an access portals right on top of the hand. The claws can reach a length of 1 ½ feet and can be drawn
out by the character any length from 1 inch to the full length. The character can draw them out separately
(i.e. just the middle one, the outside two, the first one etc.) As the claws are part of the skeleton of the
character, it does not take an attack to draw them out or retract them. (Characters with this cannot use any
other knuckle weapon).
The blades are used like a short sword, they add +3D6+ (25)M.D.C. damage/blade to hand to hand attacks
Cyber-Armor (modified to work with powers): This is a unique lightweight armor that is grafted right to
the skin. The armor plates are less than an eighth of an inch thick and form fitted around the contours of
the body. Cyber-armor is only grafted to the chest, shoulders, shoulder blades, and thighs for two reasons.
One, the body needs to breathe through skin pores and secondly, additional armor would greatly impair
movement (reduce attacks, bonuses, and speed by half).
The rest of the body is not protected. Consequently, this is one of the few mega-damage armors that has
an armor rating; A.R. 16. A roll above the A.R. 16 means an unprotected portion of the body has been hit
and damaged. Adds 20 pounds (9 kg) to body weight.
Cyber-Armor: (Modified to work with powers)
Chest: 100 M.D.C. A.R. 16.
Shoulders: M.D.C., A.R. 16.
Shoulder blades: 100 M.D.C., A.R. 16.
Thighs: 100 M.D.C. A.R. 16.
XAN-BCE-04 (modified to work with powers): The BCE process is a special chemical augmentation
derived from the Titan Juicer process. Like the Titan Juicer, the characters bone structure is laced with
track metals and chemicals to harden them into superhuman bone structures. However unlike the Titan
Juicer process, the bone lacing is a non-lethal cybernetic enhancement, it has no major penalties: such as a
reduced life spans or any of the other similar problems inherent with Juicer conversions. However, that is
not to say the process is not without its share of risks and penalties.
Weight: N/A part of the character, but add +6d6 pounds to the characters weight.
Mega-Damage: The Process makes the characters skeleton an M.D.C. structure. As a result the character
will never break a bone, chip a tooth, or break a nail. The character can still be killed from S.D.C. attacks
because their organs (unless replaced) are still S.D.C.; however their bones will remain permanently. The
characters skeleton has a M.D.C. value of 15 M.D.
The metal has invaded the characters cells, and allows them to heal much faster than normal. The
character heals one hit point or S.D.C. for every point of P.E. the character has, every hour! For example a
character with a P.E. of 18, could heal 18 points of S.D.C. or hit points per hour! (50)
