Dice Rifts - The Thirteenth Mystery - Characters

Epiphany · May 13, 2023

House Rules forthcoming.

Rolling Attributes uses the Sherwood/Psychie Method Roll on the site or ask me to roll for you if you don't trust the die roller. All stats are determined by a 4d6 roll, rerolling 1's, and taking the top 3. If that comes out to a 16-18, you add another d6 to your total. If that one is also a '6', you add another d6, giving you a potential max of 30 on a straight die roll (or more if you're playing an OCC/RCC that 'naturally' rolls more).

Actual levels awarded in game will be done via a milestone system.
You gain a new skill every level, gaining your OCC Related bonus and IQ bonus if applicable, per the Dannigan method.
For every level, your character has a +1 they can award to any trait that isn't attacks per melee round (strike, pull punch, perception, etc.). This represents the fruits of their hard-earned experience. If spent on a skill, it's treated as a +5% increase.
Those with Psionic powers can use Sherwood's List as a source of additional choices.
Anyone who takes an Adventurers and Scholars OCC may do one of the following:
1. Be a minor or major psychic per pg. 289 of the core (your choice).
2. Be a Rifts Superhuman per pg. 43 of the Conversion Book 01 (again, your choice).
3. Pick an RCC that is otherwise exclusively an RCC. In which case you pool your OCC and RCC skills and bonuses (if both have the same skill, take the highest bonus and add another +10% to it).

Playing a character with both an R.C.C. and an O.C.C.

Any 'Race' (i.e. R.C.C. whose writeup lists possible O.C.C.s available) is welcome to take any suggested O.C.C. If you want something outside of what's recommended, that's fine as long as you've got some rationale in your backstory.
If you want to take an R.C.C. that's a full character class itself (like a Dragon Hatchling) and pair it with an O.C.C., I'm open to the possibility but would need to see your proposed combination laid out. Excessively powerful combinations may be denied, particularly if they render other PCs irrelevant in an area that other PC would otherwise shine at.
Typically, R.C.C. and O.C.C. combinations use the R.C.C. attributes, use the O.C.C. skills and pool R.C.C. and O.C.C. 'other abilities' together.
If both R.C.C. and O.C.C. give a level-up bonus to the same trait, typically you can apply the highest bonus although I may approve combining for lower powered combinations.

Full Conversion Cyborg OCC characters use the Robot Strength chart.
Rolling with impact doesn't necessarily require rolling yourself through the air or across the ground.
Backflips gain full dodge bonus; they're basically a variation of the dodge action if your character knows the maneuver.
Body Block/Tackle modifier: Add 5% to the knockdown chance for every 1 point of P.S. or P.P. the attacker has over the defender (and lose 5% for every 1 point under the defender).
Large scale engagements with military units may use the Mass Combat rules found in the Rifter #23 pgs. 77-91.

Atlantean Undead Slayer O.C.C. Abilities:
These are abilities and areas of expertise in addition to those common to all True Atlanteans. See the True Atlantean R.C.C. earlier in this book, page 45.
1. Magic Tattoos Denote Heritage: Staked heart and flaming sword as discussed under the Atlantean R.C.C., both are fully functioning magic tattoos.
2. Increased P.P.E. from Magic Tattoos: Base P.P.E. is 1D4x10+50 for all Undead Slayers. Add 10 P.P.E. points for each additional level of experience and six P.P.E. for each tattoo. Note: The character can also draw energy from ley lines and nexus points, up to 20 P.P.E. per each activation of a tattoo or 15 P.P.E. per melee round to power or use a magic device.
3. Increased P.P.E. Recovery: The Undead Slayer’s P.P.E. replenishes itself at the rate of 20 points for every hour of meditation, rest or sleep; 25 P.P.E. when meditation is performed on a ley line.
4. M.D.C.: Undead Slayers have a base M.D.C. of 2D4xl0 plus 10 P.P.E. per each level of experience (starting at level one), plus each additional tattoo beyond the first six of them, instills the male Undead Slayer with 11 M.D.C. and the females with 13 M.D.C. points. Due to the number of magic tattoos, they are considered to be minor supernatural beings with Supernatural P.S. and P.E., so their physical attacks inflict M.D. and damage the undead, supernatural beings and Mega-Damage creatures.
5. Advanced Knowledge of Atlantean Pyramids: Undead Slayers are seasoned dimensional travelers and have a full understanding of Dimensional Pyramids. Add +10% to their Operate Dimensional Pyramid skill.
6. Vampire Hunting Abilities (special):
Bonuses Applicable Only when Fighting Vampires: +3 on Perception Rolls involving all aspects of the undead, +2 on initiative, +1 to strike, parry, and dodge, +2 to strike when going to impale/stake the heart, +2 to save vs insanity, +3 to save vs the Horror Factor of vampires, their protectors and summoned animals, and +1 to save vs possession (any).
Gut Feelings. Hunches and Realizations Involving Vampires: By third level, the Undead Slayer develops a sort of sixth sense about vampires and the dangers they represent. These “feelings” only apply to vampires and their minions.
• Bad feeling that something is not right. The Undead Slayer gets a bad feeling when he’s walking into a vampire’s trap. It helps to recognize a potential ambush site up ahead, decide to take a different route back to camp, and similar. Success Ratio: 35% +5% per level of experience and +1 to Perception Rolls and +1 to initiative when a hero has a “bad feeling.”
• Feeling that vampires are around or exerting control and influence over a community even though he is told otherwise. “I don’t care what the Sheriff said. There are vampires here. I can feel them.” Success Ratio: 60% +3% per level of experience.
• Finding and recognizing evidence of the undead’s presence or involvement, attacks on people, evidence of the Slow Kill bite, and/or of vampire influence and visitations. Success Ratio: 60% +3% per level of experience.
• Hunch that someone is a vampire servant, henchman or assassin. Success Ratio: 40% +5% per level of experience.
• Recognize a Vampire Mind Slave when he sees one: 60% +3% per level of experience.
• Recognize a Wild Vampire when he sees one: 84% +3% per level of experience.
• Recognize a Secondary Vampire when he sees one: 60% +3% per level of experience.
• Recognize a Master Vampire when he sees one: 50% +3% per level of experience.
• Guess where the vampire’s lair is located based on his knowledge of the undead and reports of the vampire’s activities and other evidence and survey of the area. Success Ratio: 20% +3% per level of experience; +25% to find the lair or coffin, locate a secret panel that leads to it, etc., when he is at the actual suspected location. “Nope, this isn’t it. Wait. What about over there? Yeah, this is more like it.”
Lore: Vampires: This is a comprehensive study of vampires, specifically, and all other types of undead, in general. The focus on vampires includes separating truth from fantasy, their true powers, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, ways to destroy them, proper disposal of vampire bodies, and their use of henchmen and servants. It also includes methods and strategies for fighting and slaying vampires as well as stories about their origins, the Vampire Kingdoms, vampire society, their behavior, hideouts and lairs. Base Skill: 70% +3% per level of experience.
Vampire Combat: Knows all vampire weaknesses and vulnerabilities, common tactics, methods of attack, defenses against such attacks and tactics, training in the types of weapons and materials that can damage and slay vampires, and so on.
Resistance Against Vampire Seduction: +1 to save vs Vampire pheromone-based trance at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 15.
Resistance Against Vampire Mind Control: +1 to save vs Mind Control and +2 to save vs Hypnotic Suggestion.
Sense Vampires: Undead Slayers have a more refined sense for vampires. They can sense the presence of vampires and Vampire Intelligences within a 600 foot radius (183 m), but cannot pinpoint the exact source/person responsible for the sensation.
7. Command Trust and Leadership: Undead Slayers are trained to be team players and work with others, be they fellow warriors, slayers, or civilians. As a result, most Undead Slayers carry themselves with such an air of confidence and certainty that people are quick to trust and follow them. The reputation of Undead Slayers is so powerful that just announcing you are an Atlantean Undead Slayer captures people’s attention. Training and that fabled commanding confidence enables a single Undead Slayer to calm down, quiet and lead, or direct large groups of civilians (50 people per level of experience). He can also settle the nerves of a small squad fighting force (10 +1D6 per level of experience), and keep them, calm, working as a team, and focused on the objective at hand; 55% chance +2% per level of experience they will follow his lead or accept him as their field leader in a crisis situation against vampires. On a successful roll, all non- Undead Slayers receive a morale bonus of +1 to initiative and +1 to save vs Horror Factor, but only when the Undead Slayer is within 250 feet (76.2 m).
8. O.C.C. Bonuses: +1 on all Perception Rolls, +3 on Perception Rolls involving vampires and other undead (this is in addition to the Vampire Perception bonus, above, for a Gut Feeling), +1 one attack per melee round when fighting vampires or any
undead and demons/supernatural evil, +1 to strike and parry, +1 to save vs magic of all kinds (in addition to P.E. bonuses), +4 to save vs Horror Factor, half for other Horror Factor rolls. Attribute bonuses: +2 to M.E., +1D6 to P.S. (Supernatural), +1D6 to P.P., and +2 to P.E. and Spd. Undead Slayers are considered minor supernatural beings and have Supernatural Strength and Endurance. Make sure you include the True Atlantean R.C.C. bonuses too.
9. Advanced Tattoo Training: Undead Slayers rely heavily on their tattoos. In fact, for many, they are the only weapons and means of protection that they employ. This gives them the edge as undisputed masters of Tattoo Magic. At level four, the Undead Slayers are so in tune with their tattoos that they no longer have to touch a tattoo to activate it. With a mere thought (it still counts as one melee action), the warrior can activate any one of his tattoos. Moreover, in the course of a lifetime, Undead Slayers can receive as many as 36 magic tattoos, but no more than two per level of experience. All magic tattoos are available, except Dimension Tattoos. Keep in mind that the Undead Slayer must have the necessary P.P.E. to activate the tattoos in question.
10. Magic Tattoos: The Undead Slayer starts with the following magic tattoos:
The two Marks of Heritage (standard)
One Flaming Weapon (an M.D. weapon that will hurt vampires)
Bow and arrow or crossbow. The four arrows are in flames (M.D.) and have wings (triple range and magically return).
Power: Protection from Vampires (heart impaled by stake).
Power: Turn Dead (the cross).
Power: Invulnerability (heart in chains).
Power: Control the Forces of Air (cloud in chains).
Power: Healing Basic (rose).
Power: Healing Super (Phoenix).
Power: Knowledge & Reading (eye).
And make the following selections:
Two additional Power tattoos of choice.
Two Simple Weapons of choice.
Two Magic Weapons of choice.
Two Animals of choice.
One Monster of choice.
Each new level of experience, the character’s clan elder or a clan Alchemist can add two simple tattoos (animal or simple weapons) or one major tattoo (power, monster, or magic weapons), but are not required to do so, player’s choice. Undead Slayers avoid Dimension Tattoos.
Getting one or two new tattoos may require traveling to a different dimension, so the character may have to disappear for a few days from time to time. It is possible that circumstances will not allow the character to get the tattoos immediately after attaining the next level of experience.
The two Marks of Heritage (standard)
One Flaming Weapon (an M.D. weapon that will hurt vampires)
Bow and arrow or crossbow. The four arrows are in flames (M.D.) and have wings (triple range and magically return).
Two Simple Weapons of choice.
Two Magic Weapons of choice.
Two Animals of choice.

Duration: 30 minutes per each level of the Tattooed Man [4 hours], or until the monster is destroyed by depleting its M.D.C., or until the magic is canceled. When canceled or destroyed, the creature glows, disappears, and reappears on the T-Man’s body as a tattoo.
The monster tattoo is instantly reusable if the magic was canceled or the duration time has expired. However, if the monster was destroyed, meaning all of its M.D.C. was depleted, the T- Man must spend twice the number of P.P.E. points to re-create it or wait eight hours.
R.C.C. Combat: Attacks/Actions Per Melee: Four
MDC Available: 500
MDC Barding: 180
Damage: Head Butt 3d6 M.D., bite 2d4x10 M.D., claw attack with hind leg 1d6x10 M.D., kick 6d6 M.D. slashing tail 1d4X10M.D.
R.C.C. Bonuses: +3 on initiative, +2 to strike, +2 to roll with impact or fall, +5 to save vs disease and poison, and +10 to save vs horror factor. These are all in addition to any possible attribute bonuses.

P.P.E. to Activate: 50
Duration: One minute per level of experience or until canceled.
Power: Influence the elemental force of air.
• See the Invisible, the same as the spell (see Rifts Ultimate Edition, page 199).
• Float in the Air, same as the spell (see Rifts Ultimate Edition, page 202).
• Wind Rush, same as the spell (see Rifts Ultimate Edition, page 214).
• Call Lightning twice per melee round/every 15 seconds; same as the spell (see Rifts Ultimate Edition, page 209).
• Calm Storms, same as the spell (see Rifts Ultimate Edition, page 223).
• See Air Elementals.
• Communicate with Air Elementals.

P.P.E. to Activate: 15
Duration: One minute per level of experience or until canceled. Power: Turn Dead, equal to the invocation of the same name.

P.P.E. to Activate: 40
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience or until the total number of M.D.C. is depleted. The user of the tattoo can cancel the magic at will. The effects of the magic continues even when the user is rendered unconscious or mind controlled.
Power: Limited Invulnerability: A faint but visible, light blue magic aura encircles the character rather like a force field protecting him and everything on his body. Ordinary S.D.C./Hit Point damage does NO damage! The aura also provides 75 M.D.C. per level of the tattoo user. Subtract any M.D. caused by Mega- Damage attacks from the character’s magical M.D.C. aura. This includes damage from falls, collisions, explosions, energy blasts, Supernatural P.S. punches, and even poison, gas, and drugs. When the M.D.C. is used up and gone, the limited invulnerability magic continues to protect against S.D.C. attacks until the duration elapses or the magic is canceled.
Vulnerabilities: It does not protect against magic clouds, psionic attacks or many types of magic, only those that do physical damage. The character is, of course vulnerable to magic that immobilizes, entangles, and influences the mind and senses, like Domination and Blind, for example. Physical attacks created by psionics such as Psi-Sword or spells that do damage like Call Lightning and Fire Ball, do damage to the magic aura until it is whittled down to zero. Likewise, spells such as Light Target, Befuddle and Charm are not stopped by invulnerability since they do not cause direct physical damage.

P.P.E. to Activate: 15
Duration: One hour per level of experience or until canceled. Power: The T-Man gains the following power:
• Immune to the Pheromone Induced Seduction.
• The character is impervious to the slow kill bite, and cannot be turned into a vampire or enslaved.
• Impervious to all the mind control powers of vampires and related species of undead.
• When the magic tattoo is first activated, a wooden stake and a cross appears, one in each hand. Both disappear when the duration ends or the tattoo magic is cancelled.
Note: Though greatly protected by this magic tattoo, the vampire can hurt and even kill a Tattooed O.C.C. like the Undead Slayer by using killing bite attacks, the brute force of punches, claws, etc., and via weapons or magic.

P.P.E. to Activate: 30
Duration: One minute per level of experience or until canceled. As many as three healing touches can be performed every minute. Each healing counts as two of the character’s melee attacks. Range: Touch.
Power: With the touch of his hand the tattoo user is able to heal wounds and injuries; restoring 1D6 Hit Point damage and 3D6
S.D.C. (or 1D6+3 M.D. to Mega-Damage beings) per each touch. Three healings per melee round are possible.

P.P.E. to Activate: 124 and see note.
Duration: Instant, with permanent results.
Range: Touch or within 12 feet (3.7 m).
Power: Super-healing and resurrection of others! Using the power to super-heal will restore up to 50 Hit Points and 50 S.D.C. points, or 100 M.D.C. if the character being healed is a Mega-Damage creature. Furthermore, the super-healing cures all types of common diseases, Magic Minor Disorders, Magic Sickness, Minor Curse, and turns a victim of Petrification back to flesh. Forms of insanity, magic insanity and addiction are not cured via this magic.
Resurrection is possible only if performed within six hours after the moment of death. The magical resurrection costs 124 P.P.E. and brings the dead person up to three Hit Points and restores/regenerates missing limbs and organs and completely heals all wounds without scarring.
Resurrection Costs: 124 P.P.E., plus the cost of performing a resurrection has a lasting effect on the tattoo user. The character permanently loses 1D6 Hit Points or M.D.C., 2D6 P.P.E. points, and one P.E. attribute point of his own each time a resurrection is performed. However, he permanently gains one M.A. point. There are no penalties for performing a super-healing.

P.P.E. to Activate: 15
Duration: 15 minutes per level of experience or until canceled. Power: Understands and speaks all languages equal to a skill of 96%.
Includes Literacy equal to a skill of 82% and can read and understand most written languages, but that does not include magic symbols, runes, wards or circles.

P.P.E. to Activate: 40
Duration: 30 minutes per level of experience.
Power: The tattoo user can hover and fly in space totally protected from the elements and can move as easily as a Cosmo Knight. Flight speed is Mach One (767 mph/1,227 km) per level of experience and the individual has zero-G movement and a protective aura with 20 M.D.C. per level of experience. The T-Man appears to be wearing a blue, glowing force field. The protection from vacuum remains in place even if all the M.D.C. protection is depleted. This tattoo is most common for Atlanteans who travel in the Three Galaxies and engage in space exploration.

P.P.E. to Activate: Five to activate Power Matrix, plus the P.P.E. cost of the magic tattoo the user wants to extend via the Power Matrix. Or 5 P.P.E. to activate and make available the P.P.E. stored in the Power Matrix for casting spells or the activation of other tattoos or magic devices.
Duration: Doubles or continues for another full duration the powers/abilities and duration of another tattoo, or immediately makes available energy stored in the Power Matrix to activate one or more magic tattoos within the usual limitation of no more than six magic tattoos active at any one time.
Power: There are situations where the tattoo user may not want an active magic tattoo’s duration and abilities to end. The P.P.E. stored in the Power Matrix tattoo can be used to extend the duration of that tattoo with but a thought. Applicable to any type of magic tattoo.
It is used only to extend the duration of an active tattoo and as an energy reserve with which to activate other magic tattoos when he has used up his own P.P.E. or extra P.P.E. is required. P.P.E. Reserve: The Power Matrix can hold 10 P.P.E. per level of the tattoo user. It can be recharged with P.P.E. two ways. One, by the T-Man channeling his own P.P.E. into the Matrix via meditation at the rate of 10 P.P.E points an hour, or by channeling the ambient P.P.E. of a ley line or nexus point at a rate of 20 P.P.E. per hour. The energy is available until spent. When used up, the tattoo user must consciously channel new P.P.E. into it or the Power Matrix remains empty or with whatever is left.

P.P.E. to Activate: 30
Duration: Five minutes per level of experience or until canceled. Power: Instills or boosts Supernatural Strength (+6 to P.S. for duration of the magic). Mega-Damage is inflicted from all physical attacks, punches, kicks, head butt, power punch, etc., and lifting and carrying abilities are also boosted. Remember, +6 to P.S. is likely to bump a T-Man’s Supernatural P.S. up to the next level which inflicts greater damage. Note: Damage is S.D.C. against S.D.C. opponents, and M.D. against Mega- Damage opponents. See Supernatural Strength list in the core rule book.

P.P.E. to Activate: 25
Duration: The effect is instant and the victim is blinded for one melee round per level of the T-Man’s experience.
The Tattooed Man possesses the blinding touch for one melee round (15 seconds) per level of his experience.
Power: Blinds an opponent by activating the tattoo and touching the intended victim. Victim needs to save vs magic, 16 or higher. A failed save means blinded (-10 to strike, parry, dodge) for one melee round (15 seconds) per level of the tattoo user.
Each blinding touch counts as one melee attack. It works on beings with natural armor, cyborgs, creatures of magic and supernatural beings, as well as those clad in M.D.C. armor and power armor with less than 350 M.D.C. or less. Power Armor with 350 M.D.C. or more blocks the magic. Cannot be used to blind people inside a vehicle by touching the vehicle or the window.

P.P.E. to Activate: 25
Duration: Victims suffer the effects for one melee round per level of the tattoo user. The T-Man retains the ability for one minute per level of experience.
Range: Touch or 100 feet (30.5 m) plus 10 feet (3 m) per level of experience. The intended target must be visible.
Number of Attacks: Each Mental Blast counts as one of the tattoo user’s melee attacks.
Saving Throw: The intended victim must roll 14 or higher to save. A successful save means no damage, no penalties.
Powers: The T-Man using this magic can cause a victim to be overcome with mind-splitting headache pain with a mere touch. The effects are as per the spell Mental Blast. 5D6 damage plus disorientation: -2 on initiative, -2 to strike, parry, dodge, -20% on all skills. Multiple blasts have cumulative effect. See Rifts© Book of Magic, page 109, for details.

P.P.E. to Activate: 40

Range: Self or a 5 foot (1.5 m) radius per level of experience Number of Attacks: Each use of a Darkness power counts as one of the tattoo user’s melee attacks.

• Nightvision 600 feet (182.9 m), see in magic darkness, and the ability to recognize Shadow Beasts and other creatures from
the Shadow Dimension even when they are melded into the shadows. (Does NOT include Shadow Vision.)
• Shadow Meld; same as the spell.

Number of Attacks: Each fiery blast counts as one melee attack. Damage: 1D4 M.D. per level of experience.
Bonuses: +2 to strike with flame from the eye, but no other bonuses apply to the fire bolt shot from the eye. Each fire blast counts as one melee attack.
Powers: Provides the tattoo user with the ability to see infrared radiation (heat waves) equal to a thermo-imager with a range of 600 feet (183 m), as well as the power to fire an M.D. bolt of fire from his eyes. Range: 60 feet (18.3 m). 1D4 M.D. per level of the T-Man’s experience. Damage is S.D.C. against S.D.C. opponents, and M.D. against Mega-Damage opponents.

P.P.E. to Activate: 40
Duration: One melee round per level of experience.
Power: This temporarily makes the tattoo user impervious to all energy based attacks. Physical attacks such as punches, kicks, arrows, bullets, rail gun rounds, and explosives do full damage.
ZANJI SHINJINKEN-RYU
Entrance Requirements: Limited to those of Honorable Alignments.
Minimum attributes include: I.Q.: 9, P.P.: 10, and Spd.: 8.
Skill Cost: 10 Years (6 Years as a Secondary Martial Art Form)
Zanji Shinjinken-Ryu is an ancient school of Samurai swordsmanship, and one of the early methods of training Bugei or warriors. One important difference between Zanji and other martial arts is that the form is designed to kill. Not wound, not injure, not knockout. A sword is an instrument of death and it is the main tool of the Zanji.
A master of the sword art will carefully evaluate any opponent. Standing motionless, he will wait until the exact moment when, without thought or direction, he can attack instantly. If attacked, the response will be to parry and counterattack instantly.
Acceptance by a teacher of Zanji usually means months of having to go through rejection.

In Japanese, this is often called Tsuki No Kokoro, which means "Mind like the Moon." That's because it is said that the martial artist's mind floats above the body, calmly sensing all activity around it. A threat, no matter how slight, will disturb that calm. As a Zanchinshi might put it, "As someone thinks to attack me, that person's Chi comes toward me. I have only to follow the Chi, and I will know the source of the attack."
This ability is one of readiness and awareness. Training involves being constantly on the alert, even while sleeping or when in the bathroom! The martial artist will instantly sense anybody who enters his Zanshin circle, including animals and even those with
intangibility and/or invisibility (although he can not see the invisible).
Bonuses: +6 on initiative, +2 to parry, +4 to dodge, and can not be surprised from attacks from behind. When fighting an invisible foe (or character with superhuman speed) these Zanshin bonuses do not apply, but his other combat skills remain unimpaired due to his mystic awareness (this character does not suffer the usual penalties from fighting an invisible foe).
Characters with this ability also have a reduced form of Chi Awareness that allows them to evaluate the Chi of anyone they can see who is inside their Zanshin circle. At first level, Zanshin extends for an area of 6ft (1.8m) [24ft] around the character. This is increased by 2ft (0.6m) for every level of advancement.

A combination strength and endurance building exercise. Practitioners repeatedly strike each other with full power strikes and blocks to build strength and resistance. As a result, all damage from punches, kicks, falls, impacts, explosions and even projectiles (arrows, bullets, rail gun rounds, etc.) is reduced by half.
Bonuses: +1 to P.E., +20 to S.D.C. (+10 MDC - Rifts Conversion Book) and +2 to roll with punch/fall/impact (halving damage again).

The ultimate body hardening exercise, the character practices taking damage by sitting under waterfalls, taking punches and kicks from fellow students, and chopping outrageous amounts of wood.
Bonuses: +2 to P.S., +1 to P.E., +4D4x10 S.D.C. (+25 MDC - Rifts Conversion Book) in addition to any O.C.C. and skill bonuses. Furthermore, the character fatigues at half the normal rate (greater endurance), and can lift and carry 50 times the normal weight capacity!

Actually, the "sword-drawing art," but used here for its extreme quickness. The character simply gets a bonus on initiative. At first level it's +1, and an additional +1 is added at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th and 15th levels.
These weapons are usually Claymore swords. It is deadly in battle, inflicting serious damage with every hit. However, its special ability, the Battle Fury, makes it fearsome beyond belief.
Weight: 7 lbs
Mega Damage: 6d6 MD / 1d6x10 with Battle Fury active
MDC: 200, regenerates 20 MDC per day
Powers: By channeling 40 PPE into the weapon, the wielder can invoke the Battle Fury. While this fearsome ability is active, the weapon inflicts a whopping 1d6x10 MD with every hit. In addition, every time the wielder makes an attack with the sword, they get two attacks instead of one; the weapon striking with blistering speed (opponents are -5 to parry the unexpected, super-quick, second attack). Finally, for the duration of the enchantment, they are encased in a suit of magical force with 100 MDC.
The Battle Fury lasts for 12 melee rounds/3 minutes.

These crystals are small, handheld smoky quartz crystals the size of a golf ball but in the shape of a cube. Atlantean symbols are carved into each face of the cube, but the top and bottom have a pyramid etched into them with a tiny crystal in the center. These crystals allow two-way communications like a cell phone, but with a 3D holographic display. Range is limited to 20 miles (32 km). When on a ley line, the range is doubled, triple at a nexus point or stone pyramid. One P.P.E. provides up to 10 minutes of use. The Communication Crystal has 5 M.D.C. (500 S.D.C.) and can be damaged by non-M.D.C. weapons.
Cost: 40,000 credits.

The Healing Wand is made of emerald or other green crystal. The Crystal Healing Wand is seldom longer than six inches to one foot (0.15 to 0.3 m) and can be a life saver. Thus, it is highly sought after, not just by Atlantean healers, but by all healers, Nomads, Tattooed Voyagers, and adventurers. The crystal wand is as thick as the narrow end of a pool stick and is crafted from a single piece of emerald or green crystalline stone. At the one end is a sculpted rose, the symbol for healing among Atlanteans.
15 P.P.E. to heal wounds. When 15 P.P.E. is pumped into the wand and it is waved over a wound it magically closes and heals the wound and restores 5D6 Hit Points (or 3D6 M.D.C. if a Mega-Damage being). This can be repeated a often as needed at the cost of 15 P.P.E. each time, for as long as P.P.E. is available to power the magic. When Hit Points are fully restored (or two-thirds of M.D.C.), the Healing Wand can be used to restore S.D.C./bruising, stiffness and discomfort at a rate of 2D6 S.D.C. (or 1D6 M.D.C.) per every additional 15 P.P.E. spent. The cost is higher even thought the healing is less, because the individual is no longer seriously injured and should be able to heal nicely without magical intervention. That’s how this magic device works.
30 P.P.E. to heal broken bones, burns or other serious internal injury, or to snap an individual out of a coma (90% success), the wand is placed over the injury or the patient’s heart and the injury is repaired at the amount listed above.
10 P.P.E. to Cure Minor Disorders, same as the spell of the same name.
20 P.P.E. to Cure Illness, same as the spell. This includes curing fever, the flu, sore throat, the common cold, rashes, and similar. It cannot cure chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, blood disease, diabetes, mental illness, etc., only illnesses caused by bacteria or viral infection.
20 P.P.E. can also be spent to purify up to 10 gallons (38 liters) of water to make it safe to drink or 50 pounds (22.5 kg) of food, cleansing it of harmful bacteria, disease, poison or toxin by placing the wand in the container with the water or tapping the wand on the food.
Cost: 275,000 credits.
Bonuses for Clan Draco Amicus: Draco Amicus are very comfortable around dragons and know how to deal with them without offending the creatures. Dragons who recognize members of Clan Draco Amicus are inclined to barter and trade with them, share information and possibly assist them in some small way. Many long-lived dragons remember, first hand, how the Draco Amicus helped to preserve some of the dragons’ nesting grounds, a dimension only known to adult and ancient dragons, and these Atlanteans. The fact that the Draco Amicus have NEVER revealed the location of the dragons’ nesting grounds nor betrayed them in any way these past many thousands of years, keeps the clan in their good favor and among the rare friends of dragonkind. Even hatchlings have a genetic memory of the clan’s assistance in the Infernal War.
Characters who are from the Draco Amicus clan gain a +20% bonuses to Lore: Faeries and Creatures of Magic and are +2 to save vs Horror Factor when dealing with dragons. There is a 60% chance any dragon (80% if an ancient dragon) will recognize the clan crest or the family name, and give members of the Draco Amicus more latitude when dealing with them; i.e. not kill them or their associates the first few times the mortals annoy or accidentally insult the dragon, and not cheat them in business dealings.

Freya was born in Terra Orbis to a loving family that taught her from an early age that as an Atlantean, she has a very high burden to bear to do her best to bring peace to the Earth and protect those that lack the power to protect themselves. As such, she went to the clan elders and volunteered to become a Tattooed Undead Slayer, taking a different path than her beloved older sister, Reyna. It took many years to show them that she was a serious candidate for the position, and even longer to endure the grueling process of getting her tattoos of power.

Traveling to Earth, Freya makes her presence known in the vampire-infested community of Mexico, bringing the fight to the hordes of leeches that prey on humanity, all the while she is in constant contact with her sister, admiring her own work to bring justice to the people.

Even in the far away towns of Mexico, Freya hears the relentless drumbeat of the Coalition heading to war, and after getting the latest message from her sister asking for her help, she drops what she was doing and begins to head north to meet up with Reyna to stand shoulder to shoulder with her in the coming war.

Reference on the God Enki (Priya's father) : Enki (Ea) - Sumerian God of Water, Creation and Fertility | Mythology.net

Priya Maheswaran was born to the prominent Doctor and Head of the Tolkeen Hospital, Fatima Maheshawan in 75 PA. Fatima, despite being a skilled Physician and Leader. The true nature of Priya's father was unknown to all until many years later, it was said Fatima had a one night stand with a travelling Ley Line Walker of significant power and Priya was born.

Priya from a young age developed psionics similar to her mother's talents, as well as significant magical powers beyond most ley line walkers. Priya also was supernaturally strong and enduring in body. There was a lot of investigation when Priya was young but no one could truly determine exactly what Priya was. It was surmised at the time, her father was just an unknown powerful supernatural being and Priya inherited many of his traits. Nonetheless, the King and Archmage Robert Creed himself took an interest in Priya's considerable and powerful talent and took her under his own tutelage to teach Priya to learn and control her power. They developed an almost father-daughter relationship in their years together.

Despite the time training her Magic, Priya desperately wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps. Priya wanted to be a Doctor like her mother. So she started very young in applying her impressive intellect to learning both magic and medicine. By her 18th Birthday in 93 PA her mother, after extensive testing, happily bestowed upon her the title of Doctor.

With her connection to the King, Priya moved up to eventually be a Leader and Representative of the Hospital to the Council of 12, and also the Council's Medical Advisor.

Known Timeline Events for Priya after 101 PA:

102 P.A. Ellis Mandel, at the time Priya's best friend and closest confidant, investigates and discovers the identity of Priya's father, and that Priya is a Demi-god, a Daughter of the Sumarian God Enki.

History:

Ellis Mandel was born in the year 73 P.A., growing up in the poorer parts of the burbs, their family living in a poorer and heavily policed area. As they got older, they started to notice things, like how their mother would occasionally slip up and mention a sister, someone who was clearly no longer alive, only to flinch and look around nervously. how wherever they went, it always seemed like there was a cop on their tail. how they also started liking girls and having Gender Problems but that's not as plot relevant. through prying from neighbors and bargaining with "friendlier" and more loose-lipped cops, they got the full story of how their aunt had killed Chairman Prosek I who was murdered roughly 20 years prior.
so, the seventeen-year-old did the logical thing.
try and convince their family to get the hell out.

their father was loyal to the coalition states, a soldier himself, and their mother was afraid. when they escaped the coalition states, making the dangerous trek north towards out, towards Tolkien, it was alone. relying on their wits, lying to guards, falsifying a document or three, and then eventually running into erin tarn escaping from jail, their future mentor, just as they were about to cross the border, the journey was a dangerous one, and they were lucky to have gotten out alive. (this would happen in about the year 91.)

It was during their illegal exodus that they were exposed to the rift energy that gave them the powers that they have. As it turns out, being bulletproof is useful for crossing a border. though the feeling of bullets bouncing off their skin isn't one they'll ever get used to.

They wound up following Erin Tarn around for the next six years, spending some time in Atlantis with Tarn, as well as time in South America. No, they don't have mommy issues, what on earth would give you that impression? (Im a lier) anyway, Ellis learned a lot over their years of study, but they arrived in the city of Tolkien in 97 P.A., falling in love with their new home.

Ellis found work as a writer for a Tolkien newspaper, perhaps getting picked because of their ties with tarn, but earning their place with their own merit. In the years leading up to 101, they paid the bills and honed their skills. On the day, they were there in the crowd, listening intently to and recording that speech, as they were to write an article on it.

and Zen Combat.
Psionic Powers, Inner Strength & Spirit
The Cyber-Knight' s training is such that ALL Knights can call upon their Inner Strength and Spirit (ancient, pre-Rifts Oriental masters
might have called this "chi") to perform superhuman feats as follows.
Inner Strength: P.P.E. : 6D6. The permanent P.P.E. base for the Knights is higher than the typical human or D-Bee and is part of what
gives them their special abilities. (This number is in addition to what a D-Bee might normally get. ) This inner spirit also makes the Cyber Knight O.C.C. one of the few non-magic O.C.C.s which can intuitively understand and use magic items and Techno-Wizard devices. All
Cyber-Knights, even those without natural psionic ability, can perform the following three abilities.

Cyber-Knight Psionics Common to All:
Create Psi-Sword (no I.S.P. cost); 8d6 MD
Create Psi-Shield (15 I.S.P., which is half the normal I.S.P. cost);

Range: Self.
Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 15
A companion power to the Psi-Sword, in which the psionic can create a Mega-Damage shield out of thin air. The shield can be used to
parry all hand to hand combat attacks, including attacks from robots, power armor, and magic. The shield can not be use to parry energy
blasts or projectiles. Shield M.D.C. is 80.

Meditation (to relax, restore I.S.P. and heal more quickly).
Inner Spirit: Somewhere around 70% of all Cyber-Knights possess limited psychic powers. These candidates are selected, in part, for their
innate psychic abilities and (usually) high Mental Endurance (M.E.). The player (or the G.M.) can either decide that his Cyber-Knight character is a natural psychic and make the selections accordingly, or he may roll percentile dice for random determination:
Master Psychic: I.S.P. Base: 6D6+10 + M.E. attribute number +2D4 I.S.P. per level of experience. As a Master Psychic, the Cyber-Knight needs a 10 or higher to save vs psionic attacks. Select a total of 8 additional psychic powers from the categories Healing, Sensitive, and Physical. The Cyber-Knight also gains ONE Super-Psionic power at levels 2, 6 and 1 0, and does an additional +1d6 M.D. with his Psi-Sword at levels 2, 5, 9 and 13. These are in addition to the three psionic powers known to all Cyber-Knights.

Range: Self.
Duration: Two minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 10
When a psychic uses this ability, he greatly enhances his mind-body connection, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time. This power allows the psychic to be more agile and aware of his body. For the duration that this power is in use, the psychic gains the following bonuses: +1 attack per melee, +3 on initiative, +1 to strike, +2 to parry and dodge. +2 to P.P. (adding further bonuses to strike/parry/dodge if boosted to 16 or higher), and +15% to all Physical skills that rely on coordination or balance.

Range: Self.
Duration: Five minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 25
The psychic using this power toughens all tissue in his entire body and generates a minor biofeedback field that absorbs damage. When in effect, the psychic only takes half damage from any fall, impact, punch, bullet, or energy attack, even if the damage is magic or psionic. Even damage that goes directly to Hit Points is halved. Furthermore, the biofeedback field absorbs the first 5 S.D.C. or Hit Points of damage from each attack. This damage resistance does not apply to anything the character is carrying.

Range: 60 feet (18.3 m) and must be visible.
Duration: 2 melees (30 seconds).
I.S.P.: 6
Saving Throw: None, but a Mind Block will hide the presence of psychic abilities, the level of P.P.E., and possession by a supernatural
force.
All things, organic and inorganic, have an aura. The aura has many distinctions and indicates things to the psychic normally invisible to the
ordinary eye.
Seeing an aura will indicate the fol lowing:
• Estimate the general level of experience. Low ( 1 -3), medium (4-7), high (8th and up).
• The presence of magic (no indication of what type or the power level).
• The presence of psychic abilities (again though, not the type or power level).
• High or low base P.P.E.
• The presence of a Possessing Entity.
• The presence of an unusual human aberration and/or indicates a serious illness, insanity, or that the individual is not-human, could be
mutant or supernatural, but does not specify which.
Note: A psychic can not tell one's alignment by using this power.

Range: 120 feet (36.6 m); double on a ley line.
Duration: 1 minute per each level of experience.
I.S.P.: 4
Saving Throw: None.
The character can see entities, beings, forces, objects and creatures which can turn invisible or are naturally invisible. Even if the creature
has no form per se, the psychic will be able to discern the vaporous image or energy sphere which is the being. This includes ghosts, Entities, Elementals and Astral Beings.

Range: Self.
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 4 (per each duration period).
This is the ability to completely close or block oneself from all psychic/mental emanations. When intentionally closed to supernatural or
psychic forces the character can not sense anything, can not use psychic abilities, nor be influenced by others. A Mind Block will prevent penetration of Telepathy, Empathy, Hypnotic Suggestion, Day Dream and Empathic Transmission. It can be an invaluable protective mask when dealing with malevolent psychic forces. Adds a bonus of +1 to save vs all psychic and mental attacks. Note: Mind Block only blocks psionic attacks that affect the psychic's mind or emotional state (Ie. Telepathy, Empathy, Hypnotic Suggestion, etc.). It offers no protection from magic.

Range: Self.
Duration: 3 minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 2
This is the ability to read and comprehend the written word extremely quickly. Speed of reading is 30 pages per minute (4 melee rounds). The psychic will retain the information as he would normally. Highly technical texts will reduce the speed reading by half (15 pages per minute) and may require two readings to remember in detail.

Range: Self.
Duration: Permanent.
I.S.P.: 2
The character remembers every word he reads. Specific blocks of written and visual information can be recalled in perfect detail at will.
Each block of information costs 3 I.S.P. to recall in absolute detail . If all I.S.P. have been expended the memory is a little fuzzy, so that exact quotes and details may be impossible to recall. Roll percentile to see how much is retained:
01%-50%: Remembered in full detail, word for word.
51%-80%: Details are forgotten, but the full essence of the ideas are clear.
81%-100%: Can only recall the most basic concepts; no details nor strong comprehension.
Note: Does apply to the spoken word, although psychics with this ability usually have very good memories.

Range: 90 feet (27.4 m).
Duration: Until the danger passes or happens. Bonuses apply only to the first melee round of the attack from the source of the sensed danger.
I.S.P.: 2
Saving Throw: None.
The Sixth Sense is a power that gives the psychic a precognitive flash of imminent danger to himself or somebody near him (within 90 feet/27.4 m). The character will not know what the danger is or where it will come from, nor who it will be directed at when in a group. All he knows is that something life threatening will happen within the next 60 seconds (4 melees)! The Sixth Sense is triggered automatically, without the consent of the psychic, whenever his life is in great peril or the life of somebody he greatly cares about (friend, partner, loved one, etc.).
The Sixth Sense is only triggered by an unexpected, life threatening event (a trap or ambush is within 90 feetl27.4 m or a flash flood is rushing his way) which is already set into motion and will happen any second. The power can not be called upon at will to sense for traps or ambush. Instead, it works like an automatic reflex. If the character has used all his L S .P. the S ixth Sense is temporarily rendered inoperative.
Bonuses: The sudden flash of insight provides the following bonuses. All bonuses apply only to the first, initial melee (15 seconds) when the attack/danger occurs. Bonuses are lost in subsequent melee rounds after the danger is revealed. +6 on initiative roll, +2 to parry, +3 to dodge and the character can not be surprised by a sneak attack from behind.

Range: 120 feet (36.6 m).
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 22
The Master Psionic can instantly erect a mental barrier or Mind Block to protect himself and those around him, with in a 120 foot (36.6
m) area. The Group Mind Block works just like the individual Mind Block power. It can be a means of protecting those around the psychic
from psionic probes and mind attacks, but it can also be used to prevent outside forces (good or evil) from communicating via Telepathy or Empathy.
Thus, a villainous psychic can use the Group Mind Block for his own evil purposes. Everyone within the 120 foot (36.6 m) area of affect
will be automatically blocked, but the effect is not detectable so they are not likely to know that they are being Mind Blocked (a Detect Psionics will indicate a Group Mind Block)!

Range: 100 feet (30.5 m) per level of experience.
Duration: 2 minutes per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 10 to lift/move/hurl an object that weighs 100 lbs (45 kg), +10 I.S.P. per each additional 100 lbs (45 kg).
Damage: 1d4x10 S.D.C. per 100 lbs (45 kg) of weight. Note: 100 S.D.C. points equals one (1) M.D. point.
The power is basically the same as the ability described in the Physical category of psionic powers, but greatly enhanced. Differences are
increased range, and dramatically increased weight and damage. The character can use Super Telekinesis to manipulate as many as one object per level of his experience, as long as the combined weight does not exceed his total weight capacity.
• +3 to strike with Telekinesis; physical/skill bonuses to strike do not apply when Telekinesis is used.
• +4 to parry with Telekinesis by using a controlled object to parry or sheer telekinetic force to block an attack. Counts as a medium heavy
object; costs 8 I.S.P.
• S.D.C. Damage from Hurled Objects: Very Small : 6 ounces to 1 pound (0.2 to 0.45 kg) : 1d4. Small: 1.5 to 2 lbs (0.6 to 0.9 kg) : 1d6 S.D.C. Medium Small : 2-4 lbs (0.9 to 1.8 kg): 2D4 S.D.C. Medium: 5 to 10 lbs (2.25 to 4.5 kg) : 3D4 S.D.C. Medium Large: 11 to 25 lbs (4.95 to 11.2 kg): 3D6 S.D.C. Large: 26 to 40 lbs (11.7 to 18 kg): 4D6 S.D.C. and add 1d6 damage for each additional 20 lbs (9 kg) up to 200 lbs (90 kg).
• Mega-Damage from Huge Hurled Objects: M.D. is only possible with Super Telekinesis and only when the hurled object is 100 lbs (45 kg) or heavier and is a hard material like wood, stone or metal (not people). Does 1d4 M.D. per 100 pounds (45 kg).

Range: Self or 40 feet (12.2 m) per level of experience within line of vision.
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience.
Saving Throw: Dodge at -6.
I.S.P.: 30
The psychic can instantly erect a force field around himself or others in the blink of an eye. If the creation of the force field is to parry an
attack, the psionic must roll a successful parry to see if he was able to create the field before the attack strikes. A successful parry means the force field beat the attacker's strike and it absorbs the damage. TK Force Fields parry incoming attacks (both energy and projectiles) simply by being created before the attack arrives. Any parries with the Force Field are done with straight rolls (normal parry bonuses do not apply). Once created, they have neither bonuses or penalties, they simply absorb the incoming damage.
The TK Force Field can be made so that it only encircles its creator, or as large an area as a 10 foot (3 m) diameter per level of experience,
and can be created yards/meters away, but always within the line of vision. The smallest force field possible covers about a three foot area
(0.9 m). The field is a Mega-Damage structure with 25 M.D.C. per level of experience.
Once one field is created, the psychic can create as many others as his I.S.P. will allow. All must be in the character's line of vision. The TK Force Field(s) will remain in place until all its M.D.C. is destroyed or its creator dispels it. If the psychic is rendered unconscious or killed, the force fields instantly vanish. However, the psychic can choose to leave the area with his force fields still in place . They will remain until the duration time limit expires. People may be able to move around inside a force field, but the force field itself cannot be moved once it is in
place. The TK Force Field is actually a force bubble and is airtight, with enough air inside for the duration of the field.
If attempting to cast a Force Field around an unwilling target, they would get the chance to dodge out before the force field made it completely around them, but only if they knew in advance that the entrapment attack was coming, and even then they'd be -6 to dodge.
For an attacker to get inside a force field he must destroy all of its M.D.C. and in so doing, destroy the field itself. Any weapon blasts, explosions and magical energy attacks, such as Call Lightning, Fire Ball, etc., will hit the Force Field, they cannot be made to appear inside the field. It will also stop area effect magic. For instance, a Carpet of Adhesion will adhere to the force field instead of the people inside, and a magic cloud may cover the sphere of force but it does not penetrate the protective field. However, Teleportation can be used to pop inside because the mage can see his destination inside. Likewise, intangible spirits and Astral Beings can pass through force fields. Psionic mental attacks, Empathic Transmission and Bio-Manipulation can still be made to affect the minds of those inside the force field, provided the attacker has line of sight. Likewise, any psychic can use his psionic powers on those outside while he is inside the walls of the force field; line of sight.
Characters inside the force field suffer from the same limitations and cannot fire weapons or energy magic from within the force field
without hitting and damaging their protective bubble, and anyone caught inside a force field bubble is trapped inside until they blast their
way out (destroying its M.D.C.) or the duration time elapses.
Note: A TK Force Field can NOT be used to suffocate someone by putting an airtight bubble around their head. Force Field requires some
form of support (even though it is composed o f energy) and must be created on solid ground. Once created, it can NOT be moved. A Dispel Magic Barriers will not affect a psionic force field (it's not magical).
Summon Psi-Sword
A Psi-Sword is a Mega-Damage energy weapon that the CyberKnight can mentally will into existence! Presumably the Knight creates it using both his inner strength and inner spirit (an unusual combination of P.P.E. and I. S.P.). The creation of this weapon becomes so second nature to the Cyber-Knight that it effectively requires the expenditure of no I. S.P. Cyber-Knights insist the energy weapon is a manifestation of the human will and fighting spirit that becomes an extension of its maker. The creation of the Psi-Sword is a very personal thing and requires years of training, study, and conviction.
It is important to note that the Cyber-Knight' s Psi-Sword is quite different from the Mind Melter's Super Psi-Sword. First, the CyberKnight
can create the weapon in an instant; in many respects it is a living part of the hero. Second, there is no expenditure of I.S.P. in the conventional game sense, the Cyber-Knight's will and conviction is the driving power behind the blade. Third, there is no limit as to how long the sword remains in effect nor any limit as to how many times a day the weapon can be created. If there is any downside, it is that the Cyber-Knight's Psi-Sword is not quite as powerful as the Mind Melter's, but it is still a weapon to be feared.
Psi-Sword Mega-Damage: 1d6 M.D. at first level, plus an additional 1d6 M.D. is gained at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15.
As a master psychic, the sword does an additional +1d6 M.D. with his Psi-Sword at levels 2, 5, 9 and 13. [8d6 MD]
Shape: At first level, the sword appears as a shimmering shaft of light and energy that resembles a glowing sword. By second or third level however, the sword's appearance can be shaped by its maker and generally reflects its creator. A Cyber-Knight who is impressed by
strength and power will create a huge claymore or flamberge-Iike weapon. A character who prides himself on speed and agility is likely
to create a rapier or saber type blade, while a hero who enjoys cunning and subterfuge may create a short sword. Each is equally powerful regardless of its form and size. Once a shape has been decided, that is how the sword will usually appear. When a Knight in training can create a Psi-Sword, he or she is ready to become a full Knight-errant.
With experience and age, the Cyber-Knight learns that he can create a Psi-weapon in shapes other than a simple shaft of light. The Cyber Knight can create virtually any single piece Psi-weapon (no projectile weapons or weapons with moving parts, such as ball and chain, bow
and arrow, gun, etc.; and Psi-weapons can not be thrown). Thus, a Psi-weapon may depart from the traditional sword shape to appear in
the form of a large or small axe, tomahawk, knife, pick-axe, hammer, club, pole, mace, morning star, etc., as well as any type of sword imaginable, from rapier to broad sword to scimitar, and so on.
Cyber-Knights tend to favor swords and similar "blade" configurations because they are the most versatile in close combat and are part of
the tradition and image of knights. Fewer than 13% use a Psi-weapon other than some type of sword. (Note: All Psi-weapons are energy
based, summoned and shaped by each particular Cyber-Knight. As energy weapons, even those with a "blunt" weapon shape like maces,
morning stars, clubs and poles inflict the same damage as the traditional Psi-Sword.) Likewise, the Cyber-Knight is so skilled and precise
that he can make the glowing energy weapon look almost as tightly cast and shaped as if he were wielding a real one made of cold steel.
The ability to manipulate the shape of a Psi-Sword/weapon also means the experienced Cyber-Knight can change the appearance, size
and shape of his weapon at will (counts as two melee actions; taking 4-6 seconds to reshape). Thus, the character can tum a Psi-Axe into a
Psi-Short Sword or Long-Sword, or Sickle or other weapon, and back again as he desires or needs. This may be done to frighten inexperienced opponents or to adjust to a combat situation. Since Cyber Knights are firm upholders of fair play, one might, for example, change his big Psi-Axe or large sword into a short sword, dagger or hand axe to more fairly match his opponent. This is especially true when involved in one-on-one duels and contests.
The color of energy used to make the Psi-Sword is typically a light, electric blue or blue-white, similar to the natural color of magic energy.
However, Cyber-Knights can make their Psi-Swords range in color and intensity from shades of blue-white to yellows, oranges, and the more rare and exotic tints of shimmering purple, violet, red, dark blue and green. Metallic colors, black, and earth tones are NOT possible as the weapon is always made of crackling energy and light.
The simpler the shape and more basic the color, the quicker and easier it is to make. A single shaft of blue-white energy, like the traditional
Psi-Sword, can be created in a heartbeat with little or no thought or concentration. Years of training makes it so that its creation doesn't
even count as a melee action! Psi-weapons shaped as something other than a sword (axe, mace, pick, etc.) use up one melee action to create. Adding an unusual color (dark blue, red, violet, green, etc.) uses up another melee action (counts as two melee actions to create a non-sword).
However, this loss of melee actions only counts for the first round in which the weapon is generated. Maintaining its creation into subsequent melee rounds is automatic and effortless for the Cyber-Knight. Unique colors typically reflect the Cyber-Knight's personal tastes, desire to be theatrical or frightening, and sometimes reflect the character's alignment. The intensity of color or brightness of the weapon may vary with the mood of the Knight, reflecting his emotions. A brilliant, pure white Psi-Sword (all colors mashed together) is
super-rare, but possible. It is very difficult to create and uses up a whopping five melee actions, virtually an entire melee round (15 seconds)!
Furthermore, it is the only color that continues to burn up one melee action every round to maintain it and inflicts the additional penalty
of -10% on the performance of all skills while the sword is up. It is not surprising then that few Cyber-Knights opt for a pure white Psi-weapon.
Note: A true Knight will never use a Psi-Sword against a foe who is unarmed or not equipped with an equivalent weapon, or who is not a
supernatural creature or dragon.
Creating Two Psi-Weapons: Only one energy blade can be created until third level, at which point the Cyber-Knight can create a second
Psi-Sword - one for each hand. The second Psi-Sword can be identical to the first, smaller, larger or completely different (axe, sickle, knife,
etc.). Part of the Knight's combat training includes Paired Weapons (gained at level two), so he is immediately adept at using them, or a
Psi-Shield.
Cyber-Armor
Level One: Cyber-Knight Armor. When a Cyber-Knight has completed his years of martial arts training, body hardening exercises, and
spiritual awakening (marked and symbolized by the ability to create a Psi-Sword), he becomes a first level Cyber-Knight. The warrior is also
given special "Cyber-Armor" that is fused to his body.
Armor Rating: 16. Any attacker's roll to strike that falls at 16 or less hits the Cyber-Armor. However, any roll of 17 or higher bypasses the
armor and hits the Knight's body, doing full damage. This is why all Cyber-Knights wear exterior suits of M.D. armor. Cyber-Armor is intended only to provide additional protection and give the Knight an extra edge in combat.

M.D.C. by Location:
Shoulders (2) - 14 each
Back/Shoulder Blades (2) - 21 each
Forearms (2) - 16 each
Thighs/Upper Legs (2) - 21 each
Chest Plate (main body) - 67 M.D.C.

Level Four: Living Armor: Unknown even to most friends and allies of the Knights, at 4th level, the armor becomes a living part of the
Cyber-Knight and can repair itself, regenerating 1d6 M.D.C. per hour until back to full M.D.C. and appearance. Furthermore, starting at
fourth level, the Cyber-Armor grows stronger: +1d6 M.D. to the chest per level of experience starting at level four, and +1 M.D. to all other
areas of Cyber-Armor, per level, starting at level four.
Level Eight: Increase A.R. to 17.
Level Twelve: Increase A.R. to 18.
Note: When the Cyber-Knight dies, the armor quickly degenerates and cannot be reused, not even as scrap metal nor grafted on to anyone
else. Within 1d4 months it turns into rusted, crumbling junk.

Cyber-Knight Zen Combat
Cyber-Knights possess a little known advantage against weapons of technology. An advantage that makes them aware of the weapons being used against them, even if they can't actually see them, and puts them a step or two ahead of their opponents.
Level One: The Basics. All the basics have been learned and the character has all the O.c.c. and skill bonuses afforded by his training.
With time and experience, however, the Cyber-Knight fine tunes his skills and abilities to such a point that he gains additional bonuses and
superhuman awareness as detailed as follows.
Level Two: Paired Weapons: The Cyber-Knight can use a shield in concert with a weapon held in the other hand, or a pair of weapons,
with equal skill. May use a man-made shield or Psi-Shield. Gets the W.P. Shield skill which provides a bonus of +1 to parry at levels 1, 3,
6, 9, 12, and 15. +1 to strike with a shield at level 4, 8, and 12 .
Level Three: Combat Acrobatics : Ability to fight and strike even when moving and off balance. No penalty to strike when moving!
Level Four: Basic Combat Awareness. Initially, the Cyber-Knight can only focus and be aware of one opponent and all the weapons and
weapon systems of that one, primary opponent.
The Knight is aware of and able to react to all mechanical devices and weapons used by that particular opponent, including guns, Vibro Blades, Neural Mace, environmental body armor, power armor, cybernetics/bionic weapons and systems, computers, optic systems, sensors, robots, vehicles and other devices. Basically any machine with moving parts or that uses electricity or has a computer chip (which is virtually all CS and other advanced people's entire armory)! This awareness lets the Cyber-Knight know the very instant a targeting computer or radar locks on, the moment he falls into the crosshairs of a gun, when a trigger is about to be squeezed, when an energy
cell charges to fire, or a cybernetic muscle tenses or a turret begins to turn. More than that though, the Knight can actually feel the weapons and war machines as they come on-line or are drawn to be used against him. It's as if he can see them as clearly as the weapon being pointed in his face.
Bonuses & Abilities Against Weapons and Technology:
• Negates any bonuses provided by the weapon/machine.
• The Cyber-Knight knows what his opponent is doing the same instant his opponent does it, enabling the Knight to react a split second
faster: +3 on initiative against attacks from modern guns and machines (bionics, robots, etc.), and +6 against artificial intelligences and computers like Skelebots and automated defense systems.
Also, the Cyber-Knight is +3 to strike and parry.
• Meanwhile, the Cyber-Knight' s gun-toting or tech-laden opponent is -3 to dodge the Cyber-Knight's attacks and loses 2 melee attacks/actions due to time spent compensating for the Cyber-Knight's amazing agility, combat skills and awareness.
Level Five: +4 to Automatic Dodge against tech. The Cyber-Knight can twist, tum, duck, somersault, and otherwise dodge attacks from "guns" and advanced weapon systems (i.e. mechanical weapons) without using up a melee action (otherwise dodge as normal). The Knight is so fast, mobile and "aware" that he or she can attempt a dodge against most weapon fire. This does not apply to spells or psionics unless they are generated and cast through or with a mechanical device. The automatic dodge applies to all attacks from a single, primary opponent at level five, two at level 9 and three at level 13.
Level Six: Cloud Sensors. The Cyber-Knight can cause sensors and weapon systems to either blink on and off, provide its user with mixed readings or faltering signals, or to not "see" the Knight for a moment. (The Cyber-Knight pops in and out. Now you see him, now you
don't!) This makes the use of sensors unreliable, impossible to pinpoint a Cyber-Knight or to identifY the exact number of Cyber-Knight targets, through artificial means. High-tech soldiers not used to "eyeballing" their opponents are put at a great disadvantage as the penalties and modifier that follow indicate.
Inexperienced sensor operators (1-3rd level) can not read or use the sensors at all and they lose two melee actions every time they try to figure out what they are or aren't seeing. Even experienced operators are uncertain, hesitate and lose one melee action while they try to evaluate and respond to the data with a skill penalty of -40%!
The types of sensors are limited to those used in robots, power armor, vehicles and by or with weapon systems, including radar, sonar,
motion detectors, heat sensors, laser targeting, optical enhancements and so on.
Level Seven: Nothing new.
Level Eight: Advanced Combat Awareness. Combat awareness (all opponents). Basically the same as level four, above, but the Cyber-Knight's awareness extends to all combatants who direct an attack at the Knight. However, because the area of awareness is expanded to include several opponents, the overall bonuses are reduced.
Bonuses & Abilities against Weapons and Technology:
• Negates any bonuses provided by the weapon/machine.
• The Cyber-Knight knows what his opponent is doing the same instant his opponent does it, enabling the Knight to react a split second
faster: +2 on initiative against attacks from modem guns and machines (bionics, robots, etc.) and +4 against artificial intelligences and computers like Skelebots and automated defense systems. Also the Cyber-Knight is +2 to strike and parry, and + 1 to dodge.
• Meanwhile, the Cyber-Knight' s gun-toting or tech-laden opponent is -2 to strike the Knight, -2 to dodge the Cyber-Knight's attacks, and loses 1 melee attack/action due to time spent compensating for the Cyber-Knight' s amazing agility, combat skills and awareness.
Level Nine: Cloud targeting computers and other weapon systems . Makes them off just enough to negate any built-in bonuses and to make the shooter -2 to strike with any modem or advanced weaponry.
Note: Penalties apply to power armor, robots, combat vehicles, cyborg systems, all energy weapons, and any weapon utilizing sensors or optic systems, as well as Techno-Wizard "guns" and other TW machines. The penalty does not apply to hand-held melee weapons such as Vibro-Blades, Neural Mace, and modem bow and arrows, nor Rune Weapons, or other M.D.C. weapons of a similar nature (swords, axes, pole arms, clubs, staves, etc.). Techno-Wizard swords and melee weapons (with possible magic bonuses) also suffer no penalties.
Levels Ten: Improved Auto-Dodge against tech . The Cyber-Knight's auto-dodge increases to +6 against technology, and an amazing +8 against artificial intelligences and computers, like Skelebots and automated defense systems, as well as robot vehicles and power armor.
Hand to Hand : Martial Arts
A form of martial arts that takes and mixes techniques from many different sources.
Note: Martial arts combat training enables the character to use any basic/common attacks, including Punch, Elbow, Kick, Knee, Disarm,
Dodge, Entangle, Body Block/Tackle, Body Flip/Throw, Roll with Impact, Power Punch, Power Kick, and Pull Punch as well as the martial
arts moves noted below.
Level 1: Starts with four attacks/actions per melee; +3 to pull punch and +3 to roll with impact/punch/fall, and body flip/throw; does 1d6 damage, victim loses initiative and one attack.
Level 2: +3 to parry and dodge; +2 to strike, and may perform Karate and any hand strike/punch.
Level 3: +1 on initiative, and may perform a Karate-style kick (does 2d6 damage) and any foot strike except Leap Kick.
Level 4 : +1 additional attack/action per melee round.
Level 5 : Leap Kick (3D8 damage, but counts as two melee attacks), and +2 to entangle.
Level 6 : Critical Strike on an unmodified roll of 18, 19 or 20.
Level 7: W.P. Paired Weapons, can perform Holds and is +2 to disarm.
Level 8: Back flip and back flip escape.
Level 9: +1 additional attack/action per melee round.
Level 10: Back flip attack and +2 to disarm.
Level 11: +4 to damage and + 1 on initiative.
Level 12: +2 to parry and dodge.
Level 13: Knockout/stun on an unmodified roll of 1 8, 19 or 20.
Level 14: + 1 additional attack/action per melee round.
Level 15: Death blow on a roll of a Natural 20.
P.P.E. to Activate: 40
Duration: 10 minutes per level of experience or until the total number of M.D.C. is depleted. The user of the tattoo can cancel the magic at will. The effects of the magic continues even when the user is rendered unconscious or mind controlled.
Power: Limited Invulnerability: A faint but visible, light blue magic aura encircles the character rather like a force field protecting him and everything on his body. Ordinary S.D.C./Hit Point damage does NO damage! The aura also provides 75 M.D.C. per level of the tattoo user. Subtract any M.D. caused by Mega- Damage attacks from the character’s magical M.D.C. aura. This includes damage from falls, collisions, explosions, energy blasts, Supernatural P.S. punches, and even poison, gas, and drugs. When the M.D.C. is used up and gone, the limited invulnerability magic continues to protect against S.D.C. attacks until the duration elapses or the magic is canceled.
Vulnerabilities: It does not protect against magic clouds, psionic attacks or many types of magic, only those that do physical damage. The character is, of course vulnerable to magic that immobilizes, entangles, and influences the mind and senses, like Domination and Blind, for example. Physical attacks created by psionics such as Psi-Sword or spells that do damage like Call Lightning and Fire Ball, do damage to the magic aura until it is whittled down to zero. Likewise, spells such as Light Target, Befuddle and Charm are not stopped by invulnerability since they do not cause direct physical damage.

P.P.E. to Activate: 20
Duration: 30 minutes per level of experience or until canceled by the user of the tattoo.
Power: The tattoo user can fly at a speed of 50 mph (80 km) plus 10 mph (16 km) per level of experience. Maximum height is limited to 4,000 feet (1,219 m) above the ground. The effects of the magic continues even when the user is rendered unconscious or mind controlled, which means he will float 2D6 feet (0.6 to 3.6 m) above the ground and float in the direction of the wind at a rate of about five miles (8 km) an hour.
Bonuses when Flying: +1 to strike and dodge, +1 when the tattoo user reaches levels 4, 8 and 12, and +3 to damage from hand to hand attacks due to height and speed advantage. Note: Damage is S.D.C. against S.D.C. opponents, and M.D. against Mega- Damage opponents.

P.P.E. to Activate: 20
Duration: Five minutes per level of experience.
Range: 100 feet (30.5 m), plus 50 feet (15.2 m) per level of experience for the flame attack.
Number of Attacks: Each fiery blast counts as one melee attack. Damage: 1D4 M.D. per level of experience.
Bonuses: +2 to strike with flame from the eye, but no other bonuses apply to the fire bolt shot from the eye. Each fire blast counts as one melee attack.
Powers: Provides the tattoo user with the ability to see infrared radiation (heat waves) equal to a thermo-imager with a range of 600 feet (183 m), as well as the power to fire an M.D. bolt of fire from his eyes. Range: 60 feet (18.3 m). 1D4 M.D. per level of the T-Man’s experience. Damage is S.D.C. against S.D.C. opponents, and M.D. against Mega-Damage opponents.

P.P.E. to Activate: 15
Duration: One hour per level of experience or until canceled. Power: The T-Man gains the following power:
• Immune to the Pheromone Induced Seduction.
• The character is impervious to the slow kill bite, and cannot be turned into a vampire or enslaved.
• Impervious to all the mind control powers of vampires and related species of undead.
• When the magic tattoo is first activated, a wooden stake and a cross appears, one in each hand. Both disappear when the duration ends or the tattoo magic is cancelled.
Note: Though greatly protected by this magic tattoo, the vampire can hurt and even kill a Tattooed O.C.C. like the Undead Slayer by using killing bite attacks, the brute force of punches, claws, etc., and via weapons or magic.
Crusader - Full Environmental Body Armor
As the name implies, this full suit of body armor resembles the knights of the ancient Crusades, because of the styling of the armor
plates and use of chain mail-like M.D.C. materials and knee length skirt. Recent fashion has provided a traditional knight's surcoat and
even the helmet is often designed to resemble the European knights of old.
M.D.C. by Location : Main body: 95, Helmet: 50, Arms: 30 each, and Legs: 50 each.
Weight : 24 pounds (10.8 kg); fa ir mobility, -15% movement penalty.

This new weapon in Bandito's BigBore shotgun series is popular among bartenders, shopkeepers, the Tundra Rangers, Cyber Knights and lawmen of all types, earning the weapon the nickname of the "Lawman," an odd moniker for a weapon produced by the Black Market, but a fitting one. The Lawman Auto-Shotgun is a sturdy weapon that can be handled by most ordinary people with reasonable effectiveness. The gun uses a pair of alternating side-by-side barrels to maintain a high rate of fire and give it that intimidating double-barrel shotgun look. Its low recoil is achieved with "floating" barrels that partially retract into the gun when fired to absorb some of the impact. Of course the big advantage is a significant payload, making it unnecessary to stop and reload, every one or two blasts.
Note: A normal P.S. of 18 or an Augmented P.S. of 14 (or better) is required to shoot the Lawman Automatic Shotgun. Those with lower P.S. shoot with a -3 penalty to strike, double when shooting wild. An Augmented P.S. of 22 or greater is required to fire it one-handed.
Weight: 12lbs (5.4 kg).
Range: 300 feet (91.5 m).
Mega-Damage: 2D4 M.D. per single shell/bullet, 4D4 per double-barreled blast, plus knockdown effect. If loaded with silver or wooden rounds the Lawman will do double its listed M.D. shotgun damage straight to the Hit Points of vampires and other beings vulnerable to such rounds.
Knockdown Effect (Shotgun): Human and human-sized D-Bees must roll a 20 sided die with a -6 penalty to stay standing. The roll must equal or surpass the attacker's natural roll to strike. A successful save vs knockdown means the character is staggered, feels like he was kicked by a mule and loses the initiative.
A failed roll means the victim is knocked off of his feet and flung 8-10 feet (2.4 to 3m) before hitting the ground! The victim loses initiative, is momentarily dazed (reduce all combat bonuses by half for one melee round per each blast endured), and loses one melee attack/action!
Knockdown Note: Even characters in M.D.C. body armor are knocked down and suffer the penalties above. Those in power armor or who are full conversion cyborgs, man-sized robots (11 feet/3.3 m or smaller), lesser supernatural beings and lesser creatures of magic (including Dragon Hatchlings) are +6 to save vs knockdown. If knocked down they are staggered with each shot and lose initiative. True Giants (20 feet/6.1 m and larger), giant robots (12 feet/3.7 or larger), Demon Lords, deific level supernatural beings and powerful, giant creatures of magic such as adult and ancient dragons and Greater Elementals take damage only. They do not lose initiative, nor do they suffer knockdown or related penalties.
Rate of Fire: Each single shot or double-barreled blast counts as one melee attack.
Payload: 18 round drum magazine. Note: The Lawman can also fire conventional S.D.C. shells and wooden or silver shells designed for fighting vampires, werebeasts, and certain demons, making it a popular weapon among Vampire Hunters and people throughout Mexico and the American Southwest.
Cost: 24,000 credits for the gun, 120 credits per shell or 16,000 credits for a box of 144 shells. An extra empty drum magazine (hold 19 rounds) costs 500 credits each.

The Force Cannon is the largest man-portable weapon Stormspire produces. Pulling the trigger unleashes three force bolts, inflicting serious damage on anything it hits. Characters without a PS of 22 or greater are -2 to strike.
Weight: 42 lbs
Mega Damage: 1d6x10+10 MD per shot
Rate of Fire: Single shots only
Effective Range: 2,000 feet
Payload: 6 shots per PPE Clip
2 extra PPE clips

Native Environment: Free Quebec
Family Origin: Free Quebec
Sentiments Towards the Coalition: This is still Humanity's world, but the Coalition has become an enemy of all people, Humanity included.
Sentiments Towards Non-Humans: They are welcome guests, but some are still dangerous and humans who cannot defend themselves must be defended from them.
Sentiments Towards Tolkeen: It could have been an example of how humans, magic, and D-Bees could live together in harmony, but war has pushed it to be something else.

History:
73 PA: Born in Free Quebec as the child of lower middle class parents
Accessed learning through the (releatively) open libraries and schooling
82 PA: Joins a youth guard movement and for the first time notices that all the leaders tend to be lighter-skinned men despite all the talk of the fellowship of humankind.
84 PA: Manifests psychic powers, but keeps them hidden.
86 PA: Is able to use newly fledged psychic powers to prevent an anti-CS activist from throwing paint at the Empress during a state visit.
Is outed and shipped off the CS.
Family stays behind and there are lingering feelings of home-sickness and local patriotism
87 PA: Joins the Union of All Humans, a society trying to promote the rights of women and minorities within the Coalition States.
89 PA: Joins CS army rather than FQ when she is old enough
90 PA: Excels and is picked for special forces training
91 PA: Tour of duty in the Magic Zone. Confronted with the horror of the Federation of Magic.
92 PA: Tour of duty in Lone Star. Confronted with the Pecos Empire and vampires.
93 PA: Requests and is accepted as bodyguard for the Empress
Is identified as personally loyal to the Coalition and the Imperial Family
98 PA: Undergoes special training to prepare for infiltration of Tolkeen
99 PA: Sent to Tolkeen as a spy. Only reports back when it is very safe.
101 PA: Listens to the Speech
102 PA: Patriotism whipped into a fervor as the Empress is presumed assassinated.
102 PA: Spends a lot of time determining definitively that Tolkeen is not involved except by inaction. Argues that the CS must turn against the Federation and is disappointed when they keep going after Tolkeen.
104 PA: Chalk's Folly causes their faith in CS leadership to deteriorate further
104 PA: Is contacted by Surete du Quebec agents and asked to report to Quebec now.
105 PA: The declaration against Free Quebec puts them in an awkward spot and they stop sending reports.
106 PA: War is declared for real, and their loyalty is still on uncertain grounds.
106 PA: Contact is re-established, but with both CS and FQ handlers.
107 PA: Operation Hardball is a bridge too far and they disavow the Coalition, reporting only to Free Quebec.
108 PA: After having found camaraderie in Tolkeen, the betrayal by FQ troops leads them to go over fully to Tolkeen. They stage their own death to make the FQ not retaliate against their family.

Thoughts prior to 99 PA:
This is *our* world. D-Bees are not welcome here!
Magic is what brought on the apocalypse, those who use it cannot be trusted.
The Lady Prosek is wiser than her husband and would make a better Empress. Still, the Emperor fights for what is right and leads Humanity well. Without the Lady, he would likely lead us astray.
Ranking of human leadership: Lady Prosek > James Lome > The Emperor

Thoughts after living through the Future That Was:
Humans were here first, but many D-Bees are not in a position to go anywhere else and their lives matter too. That said, there are evil species and the world would be better without Xiticix or demons.
Magic is a part of this world now, for better or worse, and it is a powerful force. To ignore it is folly and we need good people to understand it.
Emperor Prosek is an unhinged madman and the sooner he is stopped, the better. Unfortunately, Joseph II is if anything worse, and Free Quebec also cannot be trusted to lead us.
While Tolkeen is fundamentally fighting a defensive war, they are burning bridges and making deals that are not beneficial to their long-term prosperity.

Reputation:
Has been around the Tolkeen mercenary scene for a few years and is known as a competent, no-nonsense person while on the clock who is also happy to burn a goodly portion of the pay on a celebration for another mission survived.

Appearance:
A fairly tall and muscled woman with dark brown skin and a mess of black curls that spill all around her if not tied back. She has large, warm eyes that see more than they should and laughs more than one would expect a spy and black ops soldier to do.

As a registered psychic in the Coalitions States, she has a barcode tattooed on the back of her neck. To keep this covered up, she favors high-necked shirts and wide chokers.
Weapons:
NG-57 Northern Gun Heavy-Duty Ion Blaster (2d4 or 3d6 MD)
NG-E4 Plasma Ejector (6d6 MD)
Matched pair of vibro-sabers (2d4 MD + 1d6 MD from Fencing)

SAMAS Weapons:
SS-09 Dual Plasma & Laser Weapon System (2d6x10 MD plasma or 6d6 MD laser)
Forearm Grenade Launchers (6d6 MD in 12' diameter. Volleys up to 8)
Forearm Vibro-Blades (6d6 MD)
CTT-M20 Missile Rifle (1d4x10 MD Armor-Piercing / 1d6x10 Plasma)

Armor:
NG Armored M.D.C. Long Coat [women's cut, royal blue] (36 MDC)
Crusader Full Environmental Body Armor (95 MDC, -15% on prowl etc.)
PA-09A Super SAMAS Power Armor

Other Equipment:
