YOUR CHARACTER

CHARACTER CREATION STARTING POINTS

In cinematic play characters come pregenerated, but in campaign
play you must create one yourself by following these steps:
1. Choose your career.
2. Distribute starting points on your attributes.
3. Distribute starting points on your skills.
4. Choose a starting talent from your career.
3. Decide your name and appearance.
6. Decide your personal agenda.
7. Choose your buddy and rival.
8. Pick your signature item.
9. Pick your starting gear (2 items from the listed in your career).
10. Roll for starting cash (Relevant dice listed in your your career).
PERSONAL AGENDA & STORY POINTS
Each PC has its own separate agenda. After each act or session,
if you took specific actions to further your personal agenda, you
earn a story point. In cinematic play agendas are secret so this is
decided by the GM alone. In campaign play the GM discusses it
openly with the group. You can have a maximum of 3 story points.
These can be spent to get an automatic [6] after a failed dice roll,
or even after a successful one in order to get an extra [6].
BUDDIES & RIVALS
Your PC can have one buddy and one rival among the other PCs.
These are important for the GM to create interesting situations.
In cinematic play these are already decided for the pregenerated
characters. In campaign play you must pick them yourself, and
after a game session, you are free to change them as you see fit.
When creating your character, distribute a total of 14 points across
your attributes, no less than 2 and no more than 4 to any attribute.
However, you may assign 5 to the key attribute for your career.
You may also distribute a total of 10 points amongst your skills,
you can assign up to 3 points to each of the key skills for your
career and a single point to any other skills you choose.
EXPERIENCE
After each session, answer the following questions. You get one XP
for every "yes" (GM has final say on disagreements):
▪ Did you participate in the game session?
▪ Did you risk or sacrifice something for your personal agenda?
▪ Did you risk your life for your buddy PC?
▪ Did you challenge or stand up to your rival PC?
▪ Did you make a panic roll?
▪ Did you overcome a dangerous event, with or without violence?
▪ Did you make a significant discovery or revelation?
▪ Did you perform an extraordinary action of some kind?
▪ Did you earn any money?
SPENDING XP: Between sessions, you can use your XP to improve
your skills and talents, or to learn new ones:
▪ Increasing a skill by one level costs 5 XP (5 is the maximum level).
▪ Learning a new skill at level 1 costs 5 XP. It requires to either have
used the skill successfully in the last session, or been instructed
by a teacher (with that skill at least at level 1) for one full shift.
▪ Learning a talent costs 5 XP. It also requires a day of practice
and a successful WITS roll (one attempt per day). If instructed by
a teacher who has the talent, your roll succeeds automatically.

YOUR GEAR
SIGNATURE ITEM
Besides your normal gear, you also have a signature item. Which is normally a tiny
useless item that only has sentimental value and identifies your character. Once per
act/session, you can use signature item [SA] in some way to reduce your STRESS.
CONSUMABLES
Lack of air, food, water or electric power can be a problem and even deadly. There is
no need to keep track of them at all times, but when the GM lets you know that they
are scarce, it’s time to start tracking them by making supply rolls. Usually they are
tracked individually, but sometimes the GM may decide to track them for the group
as a whole. When the supply reaches zero you suffer its conditions.
SUPPLY ROLL: To track your supply for any consumable, at the regular intervals
listed in the table below, you must you must roll stress dice equal to the current
supply level, up to a maximum of 6 dice. For each [1], the supply is decreased by 1.
▪ Air: Every turn, and after strenuous activities like combat or MOBILITY rolls.
▪ Water: Once a day, and after strenuous activities like combat or MOBILITY rolls.
▪ Food: Once a day.
▪ Power: Situational, depending on the gear used.
ENCUMBRANCE
You can carry a number of regular items equal to
twice your STRENGTH without problem. Every 4
supplies of food and water count as 1 item each.
HEAVY: Items designated as heavy count as
2 regular items. Some can count as 3 or even 4.
LIGHT: Items designated as light count as
half (½) a regular item, or even as a quarter (¼).
TINY: Some items even smaller than light don't
affect your encumbrance. As a rule of thumb, if
the item can be hidden in a closed fist, it’s tiny.
They still need to be listed in the character sheet.
OVER-ENCUMBERED: You can carry twice your
encumbrance limit temporarily (STRENGTH x4).
If doing this, you must roll MOBILITY to run [FA]
or crawl [SA] during combat. Failure forces you
to either drop what you are carrying, or stay put.

TIME & SPACE

STEALTH
STEALTH MODE
Stealth is used to explore new locations. Is played in turns (individually or in group). You can move 2 zones per turn checking for active
or passive enemies and getting a superficial description. To examine something in detail the GM can ask you to stay 1 turn or more.
ACTIVE ENEMIES: They are actively stalking you and can't be spotted if they stay hidden without attacking, unless detected with a
motion tracker or if the GM deems it obvious that you spot them. They may also try to sneak attack upon you. If so, the GM informs
you and rolls the enemy's MOBILITY vs your OBSERVATION. If you fail, the enemy gets a free attack on you before starting combat.

PASSIVE ENEMIES: They are unaware of your presence and can be ambushed. When in same zone or LOS you ▪ Engaged -2

past them by rolling MOBILITY (lowest if group) vs their OBSERVATION (highest if group). You get a modification ➞ ▪ Long +1
based on how close you move past them (Or a +2 modification if you pass behind an open door/hatch). ▪ Extreme +3
SNEAK ATTACK: Roll your MOBILITY vs the target's OBSERVATION. You get a modification based on how close you want to get. If you fail,
your opponent spots you at your starting distance and combat starts. If you succeed, you get a free slow/fast action before combat. The
target cannot block the sneak attack. Can only be done individually, by one attacker against one target.
AMBUSH: You wait hidden for the enemy. When the enemy comes close you perform a sneak attack, with a +2 modification, since you
are not the one moving. Can be carried out by a group and against a group of targets (lowest MOBILITY vs highest OBSERVATION).
MOTION TRACKERS: Can be used once per turn (must make power supply roll afterwards). It will detect any large "moving" objects
within long range (4 zones) indoors and extreme range outdoors. Detection doesn't mean you spotted it and can engage in combat.
To engage, you must have LOS or be in the same zone. The GM can ask for an OBSERVATION roll to spot small or hidden enemies.
COMBAT
DRAWING INITIATIVE SLOW & FAST ACTIONS
When combat starts, stealth is over so you act in rounds instead When it's your time to act in the round, you can perform one slow
of turns. All PC involved draw an initiative card and the GM draws action [SA] and one fast action [FA], or two fast actions. See the list
one for every NPC. They are numbered 1 to 10 and dictate in which of typical slow and fast actions below. How some of these work is
order you act. Place the cards in front of you for everyone to see. explained in detail in their respective sections.
When all the participants have acted once, a new round begins.

CRITICAL INJURY
When you suffer a critical injury (knocked down to zero HEALTH), roll a D66 on the critical injury tables below (or a D6 for synthetics).

HEALING: You suffer the effects of a critical injury during the healing time indicated. A few effects are instantly gone, others remain
until succeeding at MEDICAL AID roll, and some are (or can become) permanent, but most effects last the amount of days indicated.

SYNTHETICS
ATTRIBUTES: Synthetic characters get a +3 bonus to two attributes after the 14 points (8 is the maximum level for these two attributes).
SKILLS & STRESS: Androids can't push rolls. They don't suffer STRESS, and they never make panic rolls.
REPAIRS: Androids don't heal. Instead, a shift of work and a COMTECH roll is required to repair all lost HEALTH and all critical injuries, as
long as the android hasn't suffered a system shutdown. They can repair themselves.
DEATH: They don't make death rolls and cannot die. After a system shutdown they can be reactivated to communicate with. This requires a
power source, a turn of work, and a COMTECH roll. They can be repaired (above) if “revived” this way but it will suffer a mental trauma.
RESOURCES: Synthetics don't need air, food, water, or sleep. They are immune to vacuum, cold, and disease.

▪ Cannot relieve STRESS.
▪ Must roll STAMINA every day (GM decides when), with a penalty equal to the
days spent without enough sleep. If you fail, you collapse and sleep for a shift.
FREEZING: In an environment without enough clothes or shelter you start freezing:
▪ Stops right after getting warm.
▪ Cannot recover HEALTH or relieve STRESS.
▪ Must roll STAMINA either every day if above freezing, every shift if sub-zero
or every turn if in space. If you fail, take 1 DMG and increase your STRESS.
▪ If broken while freezing, you must make a death roll the next time you would need
to roll for the cold.
CIRCUMSTANCES
DROWNING: To swim counts as crawl [SA], When underwater you start drowning:
▪ Stops when leaving underwater.
▪ Must roll STAMINA every round. If you fail, take 1 DMG. Note that this roll is not an
action and is made during your turn before you perform your actions.
▪ If broken while drowning, you must make a death roll every turn,
until you die or someone saves you with first aid [SA].
SUFFOCATING: If your air supply runs out you start suffocating:
▪ Stops when entering a pressurized area.
▪ Must roll STAMINA every turn or after every strenuous activity (CLOSE COMBAT
or MOBILITY rolls). First roll is unmodified, the second gets a -1 , the third gets -2,
and so on. If you fail, you drop directly to zero HEALTH and must make a death roll
every round until you die or you enter a pressurized area.
BURNING: When exposed to fire you suffer a fire attack, roll base dice equal to the
fire intensity (typically 8). For every [6] rolled, you suffer 1 DMG. Armor can protect
you. If you take damage like this, you start burning:
▪ Suffer another fire attack at the start of each new round. Fire intensity increases
by one each round. As soon as a fire attack fails, the fire goes out by itself.
▪ You, or a friend at engaged range, can try to put out fire [SA] by rolling MOBILITY.
▪ If broken while burning, you must make a death roll every round,
until you die or someone saves you with first aid [SA].
DISEASE
If exposed to a dangerous contagion or infection, you must make a sickness roll,
which is an opposed roll for STAMINA against the disease's virulence (typically 3,
but can be much higher). If you fail the roll, you fall sick, which has several effects:
▪ Stops as soon as you succeed at a sickness roll.
▪ Cannot recover HEALTH.
▪ One shift after infection you suffer one point of damage.
▪ Must make another sickness roll at the start of each shift. Each failed roll means
you suffer another point of damage.
▪ If broken while sick, you must make a sickness roll after every shift, failure means
death.
MEDICAL AID: Someone can cares for you while sick, this person can roll your
sickness rolls instead of you. The healer rolls for MEDICAL AID against the
virulence of the disease.
OTHER DISEASES: The sickness effects described above reflect a common but
deadly disease. But there are many other diseases that can have unique effects
that the GM will explain to you.
PHYSICAL TRAUMAS
FALLING: Falling on a hard surface does damage
equal to the meters of the fall divided by 2 (round
down). In a controlled jump, roll MOBILITY and for
each [6] reduce the damage by one.
Armor can protect you.
EXPLOSIONS: For each person within short range
of a blast, roll base dice equal to blast power, they
suffer 1 DMG for every [6] rolled. Everyone at
engaged range suffer 1 additional DMG.
Powerful charges, with a blast power of 7 or more,
can harm people even at medium range. The blast
power is then reduced by 6. If many people at
medium range, the GM can simplify this by rolling
once and applying the result to everyone.
VACUUM
If your ship suffers explosive decompression, or
if you are thrown into space out of an airlock, or
for any other reason you find yourself without
protection in a vacuum, you start suffocating.
Before failing the death roll, you should try to
put on space suit [SA] if there is one nearby.
Doing this in a hurry requires a MOBILITY roll.
EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION: In a spacecraft,
If you miss a shot in a room adjacent to the outer
bulkhead you inflict the weapon's damage rating
to the bulkhead. When this happens, roll for the
armor rating of the bulkhead (typically 6). If the
roll fails to stop the shot, the air in the room will
vent out into space in a turn, and the intense draft
will require everyone to make a STAMINA roll to
perform any action (the roll itself counts as a fast
action). Most ships will automatically seal off a
breached compartment. Once the air is gone,
anyone still in the vented compartment will
suffer the effects of vacuum.
RADIATION
If exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, you gain
rads that accumulate in your body. the area’s
radiation level determines how often you get rads:
▪ Weak radiation: 1 Rad per shift
▪ Strong radiation: 1 Rad per turn
▪ Extreme radiation: 1 Rad per round
EFFECTS: Every time you gain a rad, you must roll
base dice equal to your accumulated rads. For every
[6] in the roll, you take one point of damage. If you
are broken by radiation damage, you must make a
death roll each time you get another rad, until you
are removed from the radiation hotspot. As long as
you remain inside a hotspot, you cannot recover
HEALTH in any way.
RECOVERY: After you leave the irradiated area, you
heal one rad per shift.
PERMANENT RADIATION: There is a risk that the
radiation will permanently stay in your body. Every
time you are about to heal a rad, roll a stress die. On
[1], the rad is not healed but instead becomes
permanent. Mark this by fully filling in the rad box on
your character sheet. Permanent radiation can
never be healed.
