Level 2: Boxing
Level 3: Body Building and Weight Lifting
Level 4: Combat Driving
Tae Kwon Do, loosely translated as the "way of hands and feet," is studied in many of the world's military organizations. The idea is to efficiently combine kicks and punches for the best possible attack form. Probably the most kick-oriented of all the martial arts. A master will attack quickly, preferably with some kind of flying jump kick. If the opponent is able to avoid or counter the kicks, then the second approach will be to move in with a volley of punches and short-range kicks.

CVR-3 Body Armor
The CVR-3 is the latest incarnation of the CVR series environmental combat armor. The CVR-3 is fully environmental and consists of lightweight plates of steel and ceramic composite over a ballistic nylon unisuit. The unisuit acts as a pressure suit for atmospheric flight, and when sealed to gloves, boots and helmet, is appropriate for exposure to vacuum as well as radiological, biological and chemical agents. The CVR-3 is the standard issue infantry armor for the UEEF Marines, as well as being issued as a flight suit for aerospace pilots.

Standard CVR-3 Features
1. Computer Controlled Life Support System: A small computer is woven into the unisuit that monitors oxygen supply and consumption, internal and external temperature and environmental integrity. The computer runs on a power cell with a charge good for 48 hours.
2. High Temperature Resistant Shielding: Protects the wearer from heat and flames up to 200 degrees centigrade (360 Fahrenheit). Normal fires deal no damage.
3. Shielding: Resistant to radiological, chemical and biological agents.
4. Internal Oxygen Supply: Good for six hours.
5. Utility Belt and Holster: The standard issue sidearm is the H-90 Gallant.
6. Impact Resistant Helmet With Removable Visor
7. HUD: Polarized visor with Heads-Up Display projector.
8. Radio: Directional, short-range radio with a 10 mile range.

Gallant H-90 Modular Energy Weapon
This weapon is standard issue for pilots, officers, and vehicle crews. It is a 10mm laser weapon that uses an ingenious modular design to fill the role of both sidearm and rifle. As a side arm, the Gallant is a compact, semi-automatic weapon with the ability to deliver both M.D. as well as S.D.C. damage with just the flick of a switch. With the rifle stock attached, the Gallant becomes a long-range, precision laser rifle.
Weight: 2lbs as a pistol; 7lbs as a rifle
Range: Pistol: 800ft Rifle: 1600ft
S.D.C. Damage: 2d6 S.D.C. for a single shot, 5d6 S.D.C. for a three round burst; same for pistol and rifle. Only the range is different.
Mega-Damage: Pistol 1d6 M.D. for a single blast, 3d6 M.D. for a three round burst. Rifle: 2d6 M.D. for a single blast, 6d6 M.D. for a three round burst.
Payload: 2500 S.D.C. blasts, 830 pistol M.D. rounds, 415 rifle M.D. rounds
4 magazines

Armor Piercing Cannon - AKA Mikah
Experimental Protoculture-Powered Rail Gun
This is an experimental light anti-tank weapon (LAW) that utilizes miniaturized magnetic rail gun technology. It is only possible to make the rail gun as small and portable as it is due to the use of Protoculture as an energy source. It does impressive damage,
but the armor piercing tungsten darts it fires are hard to find. However, a competent weapons engineer can manufacture them
if he has a supply of tungsten and other more common metals, as long as they are ferrous (iron), but damage is half for substitute
metal. While this weapon is usually mounted on a vehicle or as part of a fortification, it can be used as a large, hand-held weapon
by Cyclones, ASC power armor and cyborgs. Only humans with a P.S. of 25 or greater can fire the weapon without penalty, but
even they feel the kick. Anyone with a P.S. less than 25 is -4 to strike unless it is braced on a hard surface like a brick wall, or used from a prone position (the weapon comes with a bipod), or mounted to a vehicle or fortified position like a machine-gun.
Primary Purpose: Anti-Armor/Anti-Mecha .
Weight: 25 pounds (11.3 kg).
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219 m) .
Mega-Damage: 1D4x10 M.D. for a single shot, 2D4x10 M.D. for a short, four round burst.
Rate of Fire: Each single shot or burst uses one of the gunner's melee attacks.
Payload: 18 rounds in a side-mounted magazine, or 60-round belt. One Protoculture canister is good for 240 single shots or 60 bursts.
Two 60-round belts

Standard Equipment: Survival knife, 2 flares, 2 smoke grenades, 4 Cobalt grenades, survival kit, a dress uniform, a combat utility uniform, canteen, personal clothing and personal effects.

It is said amongst his kind that the Garudan known to the UEEF as Onni was born at the right time during the Invid Occupation. Onni never seemed to fit amongst his people. He was always curious about things, particularly technology. While his kind appreciated him and helped him in whatever way they could, he never seemed to fit. In a way, Onni is seen as sort of an autistic amongst the Garudan, and a brilliant one at that. He like his parents before him became a part of the resistance on Garuda and he found an appitute with modifying and using the invid technology against them. He had assisted directly with the escape from his homeworld by fixing and piloting the shuttle away. He volunteered when the UEEF offered to take him.

His chipper and seemingly happy attitude gave him the name "Onni" by one of the Finnish members of the UEEF. The UEEF saw his brilliance and capabilities and he was sought after by Dr. Lang himself to join his team, but Onni said that the Hin guided him in a different direction. When he was visiting Dr. Lang, he also had the chance to meet Lin Minmei in the flesh which inspired him greatly. He looked at both her and Dr. Lang in the Hin and saw something extraordinary.

Onni was given several of the newer models of cyclones to modify for his use. Other engineers dubbed his version of the VR-052F "The Kitsune" and his VR-021 space cyclone was dubbed "The Vulpera" . The helmets on both cyclones have fox ear extensions to fit Onni's head, they also sport compartment in the back to fit the Garudan's tail, as well as a breather system that enables the Garudan to breath.
The Hin

The Hin is an altered state of mind that all Garudans can enter by focusing their thoughts and inhaling deeply of the trace gases in their rebreathers. Normally, they breathe a mix of their home world’s air and that of the atmosphere around them. When they fully enter the Hin, they breathe only from the rebreather, meaning their time in the Hin state is limited until they can recharge their breathing apparatus.

Most of the time, Garudans are only partially in the Hin state, and the benefits are reflected in their normal attributes and bonuses. However, when they enter the Hin fully, they seem to lose contact with what we consider the normal, rational world. The very wind talks to them, they get glimpses of the past, present and future, they anticipate their enemies’ attacks, and paths to goals and knowledge not normally attainable become apparent.

It takes a full melee round for a Garudan to submerge into the Hin. When not on their home world and using a rebreather, they can remain in the Hin for 1d4 minutes per level of experience. When fully submerged in the Hin, the Garudans gain the following special abilities and bonuses. These abilities are always “on” as long as the Garudan is fully submerged in the Hin.

See the Path: The Garudan can focus on his or her objective, and the direction they need to go will appear to glow brightly. It takes two melee actions of concentration, and the ability lasts as long as they maintain their concentration. Provides the Garudan with a Land Navigation of 75%

Hin Combat: The Garudan calls on certain heroic ancestors by name, appearing to gain their fighting prowess. The Garudan receives an additional +1 on initiative, +1 to strike, parry and dodge, and the Hand to Hand: Commando skill while in Hin combat.

Ghostwalking: The most powerful ability granted by submersion in the Hin, this ability appears to allow a Garudan to temporarily pass through solid objects. This is not so much an ability to physically walk through a solid object, but more like a miniature space fold, with the Garudan unsure of where he will emerge, which can lead to its own risks.

The Garudan activates this ability by walking up to the structure he wishes to enter and touches it, concentrating for one melee round. The Garudan is disoriented for a moment before appearing inside the structure. There is a 30% +5%per level chance that the Garudan will appear precisely where he wanted to appear inside the structure or on the other side of the wall. A failed roll means that the Garudan was still in the structure, but appeared 1d4x100 feet off target. Regardless of whether the attempt was on target or not, the use of this ability takes the Garudan out of the Hin state and he suffers all of the usual penalties. This can be dangerous if he is attempting to penetrate an enemy stronghold, as he could find himself in the middle of an enemy garrison in a weakened state.

See Aura: While fully in the Hin, the Garudan can see an aura around everything. All things, organic and inorganic, have an aura. The aura has many distinctions and indicates thing to the Garudan normally invisible to the ordinary eye.

Seeing an aura indicates the following:

Estimate the general level of experience. Low (1-3), medium (4-7th), or high (8th and up)

The presence of magic.
The presence of psychic abilities
High or low base of Potential Psychic Energy (PPE)
The presence of an unusual aberration and/or indicates a serious illness, insanity, or that the individual is not what he or she appears to be, could be a mutant or supernatural, but does not specify which.

This ability has a range of 60 feet and the target must be visible.

Hidden Knowledge: While in the Hin state, the Garudan has a number of skills that are not available to them normally. The source of this knowledge is usually attributed to ancestral spirits who have taken a special interest in the Garudan. Each Garudan should choose three skills from the following list. Note: the Garudan has these three skills at 75% whenever he is fully in the Hin state. Out of the Hin, the Garudan does not have access to the knowledge, even if he was just using the skill minutes ago.

Skills:
Cryptography
Holistic Medicine
Lore: Invid

Penalties: When Garudans submerge their psyche into the Hin, they are not fully cognizant of everything that is going on around them in reality. They have very little ability to operate technology beyond handheld weapons. As a result the Garudan cannot access skills from the categories of Electrical, Mechanical, Pilot, or Pilot Related.

Moreover, while in the Hin, the Garudan cannot read, operate computers or other technological devices. This is because they do not see the words from a book, just its aura. They cannot tell small details like a rank pin or watch video from a screen. Also, they cannot see colors and everything is sort of a vague, indistinct grey. They recognize individuals not from their features, but from their auras.

Coming out of the Hin: This leaves the Garudan slightly disoriented for 1d4 minutes. He or she is -2 to Perception Rolls and initiative, -1 attack per melee and -10% on all skills. The Garudan cannot reenter the Hin for at least 24 hours unless they are on their home world, in which they can enter the Hin at will without the penalties of coming out of it.

Twenty-four year old Hospital Corpsman Third Class Keith Sable is not a full-fledged medical doctor, but he knows his way around a wounded soldier well enough to stabilize his patients and keep them alive until they can be medevac'd out of danger. Keith's training has now been expanded to include knowledge on how to treat the newest members of the UEEF; namely the Garudans, Karbarrans and the Paraxians.
Don't let the fact that he's not a Marine let you think he's a pushover. Keith is quite able to hold his own with a Cyclone, with a rifle, or even going hand-to-hand against his opponents.

A small and energetic droid that follows C'osmo about helping him with his everyday work and gives him someone friendly to talk to. While not intelligent in the sense of A.I., Norwood can verbally communicate with but two words - "yes" and "no" (think of Bit from Tron - allegedly the very first CGI character ever made). Norwood is lightly-armed and often watches C'osmo's back when he's working or sleeping. Otherwise, "she" is directly involved in his everyday science-doings and martial arts workouts as she displays the holographic images of great masters and good-hearted personalities of their time.

Norwood is named after Ms. Virginia Norwood who changed history. According to NPR: Norwood is best known for developing the Multispectral Scanner System that flew on the first Landsat satellite, making her the "Mother of Landsat," according to NASA." C'osmo first learned about her during his science-related classes, then a little later during his studies in Optic Systems (which he put towards both his military and his scientific interests like the holograms he uses).

(Image credit: Grigory Lebidko)

Stats per Sherwood:

Norwood's sensors:
1. Infrared and Ultraviolet Optic System: Range: 200ft (90m) maximum.
2. Magnification Lens (to the 400th power): Range: 7ft (2m)
3. Night Sight: Range: 200ft (90m)
4. Dosimeter: Picks up and measures radiation levels. Range: 20ft
5. Motion: Detects movement and pinpoints location. Range: 60ft (27.4m).
6. Mini-Radar: Range: 5 miles (8km).
7. Built in radio with a range of 5 miles.

Norwood also has a small utility arm with fine manipulator fingers capable of microscopic repairs on items it can see with its magnification lens.
Imagine this. A male Karbarran so in love with science that he is considered strange for doing "female" work (the Karbarrans are a traditional society where the women practice the "softer" subjects). Imagine that he keeps a great loyalty to the UEEF from their very first meeting. During the early times of the UEEF's journey to Tyrol, they had discovered him along with a small group of his fellow Karbarrans on a refugee ship fleeing the Invid occupation of Karbarra. Imagine now that this nerd was so fed up with his treatment at home that he wholeheartedly joined the humans to learn their advanced ways - only to discover he was good at science! Good enough to become a scientist if he joined the UEEF as a Marine Technical Officer! What could be better? He made the effort and soon, he found he loved working in the laboratories practicing botany, archaeology, and anthropology.

That is... until the UEEF in his area found themselves with a serious shortage of "combat-proficient science experts." Even the STORM units were lucky to have anyone in their squad who was educated in scientific matters - and the troops were suffering for it. So, the military did what human militaries have done for years - they took what they needed by force. One day, C'osmo was working on making honey (with real Earth bees!) with all of its health benefits available for every UEEF starship when the STORM sergeants came in and literally dragged him off of the project. C'osmo was a Marine Technical Officer but one who had only passed the military requirements to get himself in front of the science the humans studied. He had never even seen live combat.

Not that STORM cared. Their mission was to get the job done. Find scientists who could also soldier. It was tougher than one might think. After C'osmo was grabbed, suddenly there was an influx of scientists on vessels whose work and abilities were "too crucial to the war effort" to go into combat. Great for them, but too late for our bear C'osmo.

So imagine that C'osmo here, being an 8 foot 6 inch-tall Karbarran weighing in at 750 pounds, being thrown to the STORM units. One look at his brainy flabby hide and it was a done deal - they turned him into a Heavy Gunner. A weapon specialist capable of running an armory all by himself. And he did too for a short while until someone noticed he was really out of shape.

Enter Close Quarter Combat Specialist school. Boxing, wrestling, knife-fighting, swords, and more. The fat was replaced by muscle even moreso when C'osmo, on his own, learned of a new martial method beyond what was taught to STORM commandos, something beyond all styles entirely with a philosophy on its own led by a long-dead master like no other. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do - (the Way of the Intercepting Fist since Lee had to name it something). Lee's philosophies and approach to life and living was quite unlike the scientists he knew of old. He fell into Jeet Kune Do quickly and is now honing its basics and building his own spiritual foundation. Science, martial arts, and Marine combat training. What a combination, right?

Except that every Marine squad he was ordered to serve instantly detected his nerdy geeky ways - and in the manner of sharks smelling blood - ostracized him, sometimes cruelly. Squad after squad kicked him out most times for reasons made up and the despite his rank as an officer, no one wanted him. Some squads flat out told him he was too weak-minded, that science was no good, that he'd only get in the way. Whenever his squads deployed, every one of them made certain he stayed back and saw no combat whatsoever. His job was to haul goods, maintain weapons, and answer what few science-related questions came his way - which were never enough.

Never accepted into squads that desired killers, not dorks, C'osmo's spirits fell into a slump. Unable to serve the UEEF in either a laboratory or a front line, some of the squads turned to using him as a pack animal and gopher ("go fer" this and "go fer" that so we don't have to). Always delegated to the menial tasks far below his genius-level I.Q., C'osmo soon retreated into the only place he could go - into himself.

Now pushed off onto the Third Heavy Assault Division ("Dragon Slayers"), C'osmo continues his life alone except for his plants, his computerized company, and his beloved virtually-intelligent robot, Honey. He lives not in officers quarters but instead in a cargo container kept on the cargo bays of whatever ship he is on this month (think P.O.D.S. in Real Life). Every time he gets shoved off to another squad, the hangar crews just pick up his cargo container and ship it off to another equally-lonely hangar bay. This has gone on for a long time.

But inside that cargo container, inside C'osmo's "portable cave" as he sometimes calls it, there are wonders no one but himself cares to know about. He has to be careful closing the doors behind him. Why? Lest he let out the bees that make his honey, of course! Or perhaps see his rows and rows of ultraviolet-light fed plants that have turned the inside of the container into a friendly jungle of sorts.

Intrude too deeply and you may come upon the only "friends" C'osmo gets to talk with - holograms of long-dead scientists and martial artists all powered by an AI-run computer inside Honey that allows these holograms to say only what they have been quoted to say when they were alive and nothing more. Here, C'osmo continues his talks and scientific lessons under the virtual tutelage of Professors Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and Lawrence Krauss, Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Dr. Jane Goodall, engineer Bill Nye "the Science Guy," and more.

Long hours of working out and practicing martial arts are led by none other than a hologram of Bruce Lee himself and sometimes his son, Brandon Lee. Other masters of great wisdom like Master Bong Soo Han of Hapkido and Chuck Norris of Tang So Doo make their appearances alongside martial artists like Cynthia Rothrock, Benny "The Jet" Urqidez, Bas Rutten, and Scott Adkins. Each have their lessons and approaches and C'osmo listens to them all.

Being a true and lifelong nerd some 299 years old, C'osmo does not let his search for peace and understanding stop with the living, but sometimes practices with his favorite cartoon heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello appear alongside Master Splinter, April, and Casey Jones to join him in workouts and philosophy sessions. C'osmo's own call sign, were he allowed it, would be "Galileo" - a realization he came to after another fun-filled evening with his artificial company.

But as always, life outside his personal cave comes knocking. Very soon, he will don his military fatigues again adorned with a few items of ridiculed placed there by his former squads for their amusement along with a letter for his new squad leader. Even with the encouragement of his favorite scientists, martial artists, and comic book heroes, C'osmo is not looking forward to joining yet another squad. "Empty your mind," Bruce Lee tells him in an effort to put away his past misery, but emotion is not a thing easily placed aside and it is with a glum and unhappy heart that C'osmo will answer his orders and join yet another UEEF squad bound for parts unknown.

Silverback damage: -38 M.D. (from Invid Soldier)

Payload on Silverback
Rail gun drum -1 bursts.
Plasma Mini-missiles (48 + 24 + 6) 78/62 remaining.

Personal weapons
Silverback's HRG-70 Railgun bursts 100/100 remaining in drum. 3 10-burst magazines when not on the Silverback (per Sherwood).
H-90 Gallant Multi-weapon. 4 E-clips for pistol, 4 for rifle. 415 rifle M.D. rounds per E-clips. (Effectively unlimited.)
Mk. 25 Automatic 40mm GL w/ HEAP rounds. 106/106 rounds.

F) Optional OSS-88 Scout/Reconnaissance Sensor Suite: This is a powerful sensor suite. It is deployed in scouting/recon and forward observation roles, as well as a C3 (Communications, Command and Control) unit. It has all the standard sensor suite features, as well as an IFF/CC unit.

10x Optical Image Enhancement: The optical enhancement magnifies the pilot’s vision by ten, as well as digitally sharpening and stabilizing the image.
Passive Nightvision: Ambient nightvision uses trace amounts of light to make the pilot see as if it were daytime. Range 1,000 feet.
Thermal Imaging: Thermal imager that uses the heat signatures of people and objects to make a visible image. Allows the pilot to see in total darkness, through walls, inclement weather and smoke. Range 1,000 feet.
Digital Video and Still Recorder: A digital still camera and video recorder. The camera can record 36 hours of video or tens of thousands of images on digital media. These images can be broadcast to others with the ability to receive them, as well as be downloaded from the digital media back at base. 10x optical magnification as well as digital sharpening and stabilization.
External Audio Pickup: This system works both multi-directionally and as a shotgun mic. It can pick up sounds as quiet as a whisper at 500 feet and can sift through ambient sound for specific noises.
Laser Distancer and Range Finder: Can estimate distance, altitude and rate of approach/travel as well as be used to paint a target for airborne and ground based ordnance delivery. Range is two miles.
Encrypted Long-Range Communications Array: A high-powered, long-range and encrypted radio. This system can also scramble enemy communications, and can be focused and used to temporarily overload comm arrays for 1d6 rounds. This gives the Silverback a limited electronic attack capability and requires an Electronic Countermeasures roll. If the character doesn’t have the Electronic Countermeasures skill, Radio: Basic can be used at a -30%.
Enhanced Radar Suite: More robust radar antennas are installed on the Silverback that allow the pilot to identify and track up to 144 different airborne targets to 75 miles and 48 land targets to 25 miles. The data from the radar can be broadcast to other mecha or installations. The radar can also be focused and used to temporarily burnout an enemy’s radar for 1d6 rounds. This gives the Silverback a limited electronic attack capability and requires an Electronic Countermeasures roll. If the character doesn’t have the Electronic Countermeasures skill, Sensory Equipment can be used, but at a -15% penalty.
IFF/CC Computer System: The Silverback also has an integrated Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) system for increased command and control, with a database of up to 300 known enemies of the UEEF. This system can identify a target, assign it priority based on known abilities and threat level, and even anticipate known behaviors and tactics. The onboard computers can then connect to the computers of all other Silverbacks, Cyclones or other mecha in the squad (up to 18), and transmit the data to them. This grants all mecha that are linked the following bonuses: +2 to initiative, +2 strike and +3 to parry/dodge to all mecha. This require a roll on the Sensory Equipment skill at -10% due to the chaos of combat. The IFF system can “learn” new enemies by analyzing data from the targeting and combat computers, as well as gun camera footage.

Weapon upgrades OKed by Sherwood. =)

A. Scope/sight upgrades. +1 to Strike with the addition of a mounted and sighted scope with a few tweaks for better accuracy (Nerd Alert: like auto-lighting red dots that shine just enough light to be seen without having to be adjusted. Wouldn't that be cool?).

B. Fine-tuned triggers. +1 to Strike. (I have yet to meet a firearm enthusiast that didn't love a sweet trigger or hate a bad, mushy trigger.)

C. Quick-draw holsters/properly set two-point slings adding a +1 to Initiative. (These bonuses do not stack. So you can't draw one firearm for a +1 then draw another to stack an additional +1 for the next Round of combat.)

D. Custom grips (+1 or +2 to Saving Throws involving accidentally dropping the weapon especially during combat/being disarmed. Plus, they're really comfortable and fit better in the hand).

E. Beam weapon light alterations. Tweak the color of the lasers to either be a little harder to see or much easier to see (shoot rainbow lasers?). No bonuses, but it might make it harder to be spotted if your weapon is firing dark-grey lasers instead of some brighter color.

F. Ammo upgrade. 5-10% more ammunition per magazine/E-clip. Because having an extra Strike roll is better than having one less. =)

G. I could also get into using non-stock ammunition (hollow points, tracer rounds, Dragon's Breath shotgun rounds, armor piercing, etc.) to add an additional flat 1d6 damage until one ran out and has to resort to stock ammo.

H. (And because, just like cars...) Custom paint job. Laser-etched stickers, phrases, flags, mottos, camouflage, you name it. Make this baby yours while letting everyone know who's got the coolest-looking piece on the battlefield.

I could go farther (quick-swap magazines, suppressors, flash-hiders, lasers that blind instead of damage, etc.) but that's probably enough, right?

Gallant H-90 Modular Energy Pistol
This weapon is standard issue for pilots, officers, and vehicle crews. It is a 10mm laser weapon that uses an ingenious modular design to fill the role of both sidearm and rifle. As a side arm, the Gallant is a compact, semi-automatic weapon with the ability to deliver both M.D. as well as S.D.C. damage with just the flick of a switch. With the rifle stock attached, the Gallant becomes a long-range, precision laser rifle.

- Payload: Energy clip provides 415 single M.D. blasts or 138 bursts

M-55 Wolverine Assault Rifle
The Wolverine is a select fire assault rifle issued as the main infantry weapon to Marine platoons. The weapon fires either 5.56mm caseless ammunition or 5.56mm HEAP rounds. It also has an optional underbarrel 25mm grenade launcher.
- Weight: 10lbs
- Range: Rifle 2,000ft, Grenade Launcher 1,200 feet

- Mega-Damage: 2d4 M.D. for a single HEAP round or 4d4 M.D. for a three round burst of HEAP rounds
- 25mm Grenades do 4d6 M.D. to a 10 foot area
- Payload: 96 round box magazine capable of 32 bursts of S.D.C. or HEAP rounds. The grenade launcher attachment carries 4 grenades. It takes 1 melee round to reload all four grenades.

RL-6 60mm Light Repeating Rocket Cannon
The RL-6 is a light anti-armor weapon that fires 60mm mini-missiles. It is usually issued to the VR-38 Light Cyclone as its primary weapon, but it can be used by standard infantry or as the handheld weapon for any of the Cyclones.
- Weight: The weapon weighs 16 pounds. A fully loaded magazine weighs around 8 pounds.
- Range: One mile
- Mega-Damage: By mini-missile type. Standard load is HEAP rounds which deal 1d4x10 per missile.
- Rate of Fire: One missile per attack
- Payload: Six mini-missiles. Reloading with a pre-loaded magazine takes one melee action
BACKSTORY: Like most of her race, Tasha was trained at a young age in the ways of the warrior. She always felt like somethinmg was missing in her life. It was like she had an unidentifyable and insatiable curiosity.... more to come.
