INTRODUCTION
Nobody takes on Cobra better than Sgt Slaughter.
Whether he’s prowling through remote locales to get his giant hands on Vipers, roaring through
a firefight in his Triple T personal tank or the Warthog A.I.F.V. troop transport, or on high-stakes
and highly classified missions with one of his elite task forces, Sgt Slaughter kicks Cobra butt. But
they’re not the only ones who feel the Sarge’s boots.

NEW PLAYER OPTIONS

Whether you want to play a character inspired by Sgt Slaughter, or you want to build Sgt
Slaughter himself, this chapter introduces new options to put the might of G.I. Joe’s special
drill instructor and task force leader into your hands.
This chapter includes a new Influence, new Origin, alternate Role Perks, three new Role
Focuses, and a new faction, all fully compatible with the G.I. JOE Roleplaying Game.

TABLE 2-1: ONCE A MARAUDER BONDS

D12 BACKGROUND BOND
1 Despite growing up far below the poverty line, I carved out opportunities that usually only money can buy.
2 I learned most of what I know about the military (and life) from the long line of veterans I call a family.
3 When my life felt too easy, I left my hometown to discover myself and see what the world was really like.
4 I have developed niche interests that most others don’t appreciate.
5 My level-headedness keeps me centered in times of chaos and uncertainty.
6 I got tired of depending on people who reliably disappointed me, so I started relying on only myself.
7 After years of being defined by my fears, I developed a reputation for overcoming them.
8 Not only does breaking things channel my frustrations, it also makes me very good at breaking things.
9 I have more in common with animals like guard dogs, aggressive livestock, and wild beasts.
10 Being left to my own devices did wonders for my independence.
11 Others may think me a bit impulsive, but that just means I’m flexible when they’re set in their ways.
12 I can find a way to whip even industrial strength foul-ups into shape.

DEVELOPMENT
The physical and mental training to qualify for the
Marine Corps tests your ability to haul 100 pounds
of gear through water and across land, your survival
skills in foreign and dangerous territory, and your
confidence to accept any mission. Even though
qualifying for the Joes is even more challenging
than qualifying for the Marines, most Marine Joes
still identify more as a member of their branch.
Essence Score Increase: Increase your Strength or
Speed by +1.
Origin Skill: Your Origin trained you in one of the
following skills: Athletics, Brawn, Conditioning, or
Initiative. This skill training must be in the Essence
taken in your Essence Score Increase.
Starting Health: You begin play with 2 Health.
Movement: Your base Ground Movement is 30
feet. You also have an Aquatic Movement of 30 feet.
Languages: You begin play fluent in one language
in addition to any native languages. You gain one
additional language for every 3 points of Smarts
you possess.
ORIGIN BENEFIT: HARD CORPS

In the heat of battle, you shrug off the worst the
enemy throws at you. Once per combat, you can
ignore the effects of one enemy attack until the
end of the scene. For example, if a B.A.T. deals 2
damage to Mainframe with a flamethrower attack,
the G.I. Joe computer specialist (who was top of his
class at Parris Island despite being 10 years older
than the next oldest trainee) can continue to fight
as though the attack didn’t affect him until the end
of combat. If he has less than 2 Health left when
combat ends, he’s immediately Defeated.
NEW ROLE
OPTIONS
Your Role covers how you contribute to a mission.
Your Focus highlights the ways in which you excel.
Any of the following Focus options can be taken by
characters of the associated Role during character
creation just like any other Focus option in the
G.I. JOE Roleplaying Game. Alternate Role Perks
replace one or more of the Role’s default Perks.
You must decide whether you are taking the default
Role Perk or the Alternate Role Perk at the level the
Perk is gained.

NEW OFFICER OPTIONS
This section introduces Alternate Equipment
Training and Qualifications for Officers who fight in
close quarters, and the new Drill Instructor Focus
Option, which Officer characters can choose when
they gain a Focus at 1st level.
ALTERNATE OFFICER EQUIPMENT

TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS
When you create a new Officer character, at 1st
level you can choose to permanently replace
the Role’s default Alternate Equipment Training
and Qualifications with the following Alternate
Equipment Training and Qualifications.
Battledress: You are trained in Light Armor.
Weapons: You are trained in melee weapons
and explosives, and Qualified in a Limited Melee
Weapon of your choice.
NEW OFFICER FOCUS

At 1st level, when an Officer gains their Focus, they
can choose Drill Instructor as an area in which
they excel.
DRILL INSTRUCTOR
Just about every member of G.I. Joe is qualified to
be a drill instructor, so it takes a special brand of
heavy-duty honcho to square them away. Anyone
can raise their voice and sound tough, but you earn
respect by practicing what you preach. You bark
orders at your fellow Joes, and back up your words
when you get your hands on Cobra.

SGT SLAUGHTER’S
MOTOR POOL
Since the first day he drove his Tag Team Terminator into The Pit, Sgt Slaughter’s been as well
known for his custom rides as he is for his aviator sunglasses and campaign hat. Later, when
G.I. Joe engineers built a 200-ton amphibious troop transporter as unforgiving as the Sarge,
they knew exactly who to give the keys to.

TRIPLE T
(TAG TEAM TERMINATOR)
Sgt Slaughter’s specially designed personal tracked tank.
As the name suggests, the Triple T works best when
teaming up with another vehicle to add a strong right
hook to an armor attack. It also serves as a battlefield
partner for the Sarge. Some boots scoff at Sarge getting
to drive while running drills, until they get into the Triple
T’s command seat. It handles like an ornery rhinoceros.
And like a rhinoceros, if you get it to respond to your
commands, you wade into battle with one fierce ride.

SGT SLAUGHTER
Brought onto G.I. Joe to maintain physical
and mental discipline, Sgt Slaughter also
occasionally deploys on missions. Usually,
Sarge’s assignments involve keeping at-risk
soldiers in line, or where his combination of
muscles and volume can do the most good.
However, because Sgt Slaughter usually
leaves weapons other than his trusty swagger
stick behind, he’s developed a unique and
useful infiltration style that goes from stealth
to pandemonium. The successive layers
of confusion allow him to repeatedly take
advantage of disoriented Cobras. Once he
found enough fellow Joes he felt fit his modus
operandi, he formed Slaughter’s Marauders.

ROLE AND FOCUS

Technician (Expert): As a firefighter, Barbecue
helps people. While Officer is the Role built to
assist the other PCs, Technician does so as well.
Almost any Primary Tech option works for a
Barbecue build. Armor can simulate his fire-resistant
uniform; Gear allows him to support allies and fight
fires from anywhere on the battlefield; Weapon grants
a powerful element jet fire hose. Although a Drone
would be an interesting choice for a firefighter build,
Barbecue specifically never used one.
The Expert Focus lets characters use a Culture,
Science, or Technology Specialization in place of
Technology Skill Tests for Technician Perks. Fire
science is a real scientific field, but as it isn’t one
of the suggested Science Specializations in the

ROLE AND FOCUS

Infantry (Artillery): Although Low-Light is easily
the Marauder’s best shot, Footloose is the team’s
run-and-gun fighter. He deploys to the front line,
and uses whatever weapon handles the most
enemy targets. He prefers his M-16, but Footloose

tanks. And when things get personal, he draws

As with most aspects of the Footloose build, his
skills are typical and fairly predictable. Other than
an above average Culture Rank that reflects his
experience traveling and a rank in Science to meet
the requirements to use the artillery lobber, he has
the most expected and utilitarian array of skills.

SPIRIT
Spirit is proud of his Puebloan roots, but he doesn’t
let others define him by them. He grew up in
Arizona in a small Taos town and learned about
the virtue of patience from his elders. But he was
always bit more curious about the human mind.
He attended a prestigious university, and eventually
received a doctorate in psychology. However, his
family didn’t have a lot of money, so to pay off his
student loans, Spirit, like many Native Americans,
enlisted in the United States army. G.I. Joe quickly
recruited him, and he earned a place in Slaughter’s
Maruaders soon after.
Sgt Slaughter appreciates Spirit for his
resourcefulness and for being one of the toughest

Joes he ever served with. Sarge made it clear that if
anything happened to him on a mission, Spirit takes
over. The only Marauder surprised by this was Spirit
himself. After a lifetime of overcoming limitations, one
of the only things Spirit can’t handle is a compliment.

his greatest tools to outwit enemy forces.
Modern interpretations of Spirit focus on his

aren’t unfair, and he can prove it. Slaughter can
challenge enemies within 20 feet to see if they can beat
him in a fist fight. One at a time, each enemy in range
can choose whether or not they accept. Enemies who
accept can move to a space adjacent to Sgt Slaughter.
This movement doesn’t trigger Contingency actions.
Once adjacent to him, Sarge attempts an Athletics
(Wrestling) Skill Test contested by the enemy’s unarmed
combat Attack Skill Test. The loser takes the effect of
the winner’s unarmed combat Attack.
