with the way humanity seems to be at the very start of the war with the coalition, are they preparing for a potential invasion of the solar system? Potential preparations might include: calling the members of the small outposts back to earth, like the ones that can’t defend themselves very long against a squadron (basically trying to get the more venerable humans out of coalition territory so the coalition can’t taunt them with losses), I could also see humanity putting all their shipyards at their max production rate, and potentially setting up a military blockade around the solar system. I know the first one seems a little weird, but they probably thought death kebab would be able to fend for itself, and guess what happened. Having all the engineers, physicists, and scientists back on earth would also be really helpful.

This is a classic situation of - you've thought about this more than I did, so now I am thinking about it some more as well :D

Let's start with the SuperweaponTM. The Coalition had been building their own Battle Moon prior to Humanity reemerging, and Humans one-upped it with Battle Moon x3 Plus Railgun. It's a move that everyone knows you must react to, cuz if you don't, that's still a world ending 600km long cannon. So you either build an even bigger one or destroy your opponent's (of course diplomacy is also an option in a more realistic setting, but eh).

The death of the Death Kebab was one of the expected outcomes, and it would never be a crucial part of any overarching strategy, more of a "It'd be cool to have for this occasion". It happened a bit more suddenly than anticipated, but such is conflict - you never have perfect information on your enemy.

So war it is. With Humanity on one side of the Galaxy and the Coalition somewhere about half-way across on the other. Plus there's the Federation that Humanity is part of (though I think the names are the other way around, but minor detail) so it's closer to a cold war with skirmishes along the border and neutral systems and stealth operations further within enemy territory.

As mentioned in the very first post - Humanity emerges with ships and weapons far superior to anything else in the Galaxy at the time, and in an arms race, where Humanity also competes with itself all the time, the Quality gap will take a very long time to fill. Quantity, however, is what basically everyone else has over Humans, and that's also not something that can change that quickly.

Earth has BS levels of protection with no chance of anyone actually surviving an invasion of the Solar system, and most of the official ventures further out are also kind of: "You're crazy smart people with crazy ideas about dinosaurs and teleportation swords and psionic ants - here's infinite money, go do science or whatever, tell us if you find anything useful, otherwise we don't want to know, but also we won't be surprised if you die due to #humans_are_dumb".

Overall as this is getting long: it's very haphazard and surrounded by layers of Intergalactic powers and politics - Humanity could destroy them if push came to shove (after all, how do you counter someone changing your system's gas giant's orbit to collide with your core industrial planet within a decade?), but do you really want to destabilize a large chunk of the Galaxy just like that with no proper plan for how to deal with the now liberated hundreds of planets and their people? And what do you do with the hostile remnants now scattered around without a central governing force? How do you deal with your fairly small self now becoming the actual practically proven boogeyman of the entire Galaxy?

Sometimes, even in a dumb universe like mine, being sensible at scale feels like the only natural path to take.

[vast-w8steland]

This is going to sound unhinged but I had a kinky thought: Trolls out in space discovering one of Vriska's various fart clouds. They presume it to just be a typical nebula but are mesmerized by its distinctive blueish green glow, upon studying it they learn that breathing in the cosmic substance actually imbues the individual with some degree of psionic power, along with seriously boosting the power of those who already possess psionics (I'm going off how you fart inflated that one girl into being a demigod). Eventually the word gets out and soon cans of concentrated "nebulaic vapor" become the equivalent of a performance enhancing drug across the Alternian empire; from the non powered looking to see what it's like being psychic, to various psionics looking for a boost, and even some in the empire's military using it like a combat stim. I mean sure, it makes you a little bloated, and your breath stinks, along with inducing strange visions of a large derriere clad in some badly stained jeans, but it's worth it for the power you can feel coursing through your system and the sheer *rush* of it all~

"Huh... you know, given Condy's penchant for merchandising and desire for conquest I could see her definitely endorsing something like this for her troops and selling it for a profit to losers across whatever system she happens to 8e flinging trolls into. I mean I feel like it'd taste and smell HORRENDOUS 8ut if they like it than who am I to say no so long as I get my cut."

[[AHHHHH this is so cool anon I'm so glad my stupid fetish blog gave you such cool ideas x3!!!]]

📖 Encounter log, Kharmi or Arcayd, dealers choice x3. @hemo--havoc

==> A Limeblood's Encounter Logs (accepting!)

NAME: Kharmi Merdir

CASTE: Gold

DANGER LEVEL: Moderate. I haven't seen her fight yet, but I've known most psionic users to be at least a Street Buster in terms of destructive potential.

FIRST MEETING: I just. Watched her sicc an ENTIRE SEA OF BEES on some jackass who literally asked for it. She seemed cool, so I reached out.

OVERVIEW: One of the first trolls I actually got acquainted with outside of a few brief rescued trolls and clients for my mechanic work. We seem to share a lot of interests, be it East Alternian Strife animations, playing music, or just generally causing trouble. She's got a lot of responsibilities as a part of her lusus' hive, but she seems to manage okay enough.

She has psionic potential similar to a lot of goldbloods, but she seems to be most experienced using it to enhance her physical prowess, much like myself using my magic.

Kharmi is ultimately a good friend, a fun jam partner, and an awesome troll in general. I trust her with my life. She's probably one of my best pals on this rock.

Maybe I should tell her the tr

She doesn't deserve to have to put up with my

If she gets hurt 'cause of me I

NAME: Arcayd Macyne

CASTE: Gold

DANGER LEVEL: Relatively Docile in my experience, but I suspect probably City Buster potential or worse, if they ever got the itch to hook themselves up to something nasty.

FIRST MEETING: Found him wounded and half-dazed after fucking CRASH LANDING near my hive. I helped patch a few wounds and got them to shelter.

OVERVIEW: Arcayd in my experience... is an earnest and well-meaning troll with a wealth of enhancements, energy and sincerity.

They fell out of the FUCKING sky apparently, having routed the path of a damaged ship to Alternia. He's capable of taking complete control of any machine he's plugged into with his tails; a powerful ability they've always been restricted from using to its full potential.

There's something deeper there though, in the annuls of whatever it is they went through on their ship. He tends to disassociate whenever the topic of the fleet comes up, but I want to get to know him better before trying to scratch the surface of whatever's there. Given my own time plugged into a fleet machine, I know how much that can fuck with you.

They've also got a bad habit of downplaying their own pain, brushing it off with a laugh, and seemed excited at even the prospect of me helping them do shit the fleet kept him from doing, and seemed to be extremely interested in my little machining hobby.

Is it bad that I want to take him under my wing a bit? They clearly have a lot to unpack and unlearn, and I don't want someone dangerous coming along to take advantage of that.

...I should visit them more. I still owe them that monocycle I promised to build them.

Modron, Nonaton

Image © @tredlocity​

[In the original Monster Manual 2, the nonaton is the only modron to have psionic powers. No rationale is given, and there’s only the suggestion of a thematic link; is it because they’re inquisitorial, so reading and manipulating minds would be useful? I guess? I took that off of the nonaton and will be giving some occult abilities to the septon, which is getting slotted into a knowledge based role. The “cluster limbs” ability I gave the nonaton is inspired by this art, which bundles the tentacles into larger, more humanoid limbs in a fun way. I love his little helmet. ]

Modron, Nonaton CR 11 LN Outsider (extraplanar) This construct is cylindrical and half again as tall as a man. It has a single eye and an underslung jaw and the top of its head is shaped in a style reminiscent of a helmet. It has nine cable-like limbs, which slide up and down its body in order to combine into thicker arms.

Nonaton modrons are security chiefs and guard captains among the modrons. They ensure that law and order is maintained in Regulus. Nonatons coordinate and direct the attention of the pentadrones, and are the first responders if any incursions attack modron territory. Mortal visitors to Regulus are typically ordered to check in with a nonaton and provide an account of their business before being allowed to proceed past limited enclaves within the continent-city.

A nonaton modron can fight with all nine of its prehensile limbs at once, striking with them as tentacles. However, they prefer to bundle the limbs into four stronger arms and wield weapons in combat. They use combat maneuvers mixed with their spell-like abilities to hinder and frustrate enemies, as well as making them easier for their pentadrone minions to damage. Nonatons are invested by Primus with a sense of divine fury, granting them a flexible judgment ability like that of mortal inquisitors. Nonatons prefer to mix offensive and defensive judgments (justice and protection is a frequently used combination).

Nonatons are surprisingly good swimmers, and Regulus has a number of water features to both provide potable water for mortal visitors and to provide nonatons with unobtrusive spy outposts. A nonaton is always exactly nine feet tall.

With its limbs bundled, it gains 4 slam attacks and can draw a single small item as a swift action. With its limbs separated, it gains 9 tentacle attacks, gains the undersized weapon SQ, but can draw up to nine small items from its person as a swift action. The statistics above reflect the nonaton with its limbs bundled. Judgment (Su) A nonaton gains the judgment and second judgment abilities of an inquisitor of a level equal to the nonaton’s racial HD. Nonaton HD stack with inquisitor levels for the purpose of the judgment ability.

[homestuckexamination]

To be fair to the Alphas, Jake’s hope bubble was shown fighting Jade’s green sun boost to a stalemate, Dirk has an ability that’s hypothetically an instakill if he gets a free moment, Jane has pretty potent healing, and Roxy can produce items and dodge attacks well (like when she saved Rose from Condy’s psionic blast)

Consider that Jake needed an unwilling buff from an extremely powerful Sylph of Light to unlock his potential early, and seeing his friends in actual mortal danger to awaken his potential against Caliborn- I'm thinking this situation would be a Sparring thing more than a Fight to the Death, so I doubt Jake would be able to 'awaken' anything particularly useful, and similarly I doubt Dirk would try to straight up tear one of his friends' souls during sparring! Then again prior anon did mention about Jade being able to just shrink and Crush the Alphas. X3 So I guess I should have mentioned I'm considering this just Sparring from the beginning.

[callioope]

sooo I’ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning lately, and today I went through the items stacked on my desk shelf... one of which was my old college D&D binder! 

so let me tell you about my favorite character i ever played let me go on and on about my favorite character that i ever played and store it here for my future reminiscence 

now this would have been, like, over 10 years ago. what i remember best is that she was a soulknife, which means that she basically psychically manifests a weapon called a mindblade. As you level up you can have cooler weapons or something. which is like, pretty damn awesome if you ask me. psychic sword? YES PLEASE. okay but this is not even the best part. because she leveled up so that her mindblade? could become a LANCE. and she also somehow obtained a pegasus. YES. how fondly i remember the day she charged from the sky and did over 70 damage. *sigh* my wonderful soulknife. this is so far is just what i remember about her.

but like i said, i just found her character sheet. and my notes from that campaign. and OH BOY.

here are things I did NOT remember about my awesome soulknife (i won’t give all of her stats, just the interesting ones): 

Name: Aurelia and yep that sure as heck came from Love Actually

Alignment: Lawful Good (well, no surprise there I suppose)

on the top of my character sheet it says “TOTAL ATTACK BONUS +17″ can this be real? is this not a mistake? what does this mean and why and how?

STR = 20. Apparently i had a belt that gave me +4. my total strength modifier says 5 but there’s a 7 written outside the box, I think maybe my mindblade got +2 making a total of 7? [for the record her CHA is 8 for a -1 modifier]

WEAPONS: My mindblade could manifest as a longsword (if i’m reading this correctly it crit anywhere from 17-20, damn), a lance (could only crit at 20 but did x3 damage; and i could only use it on a horse of course); a bastard sword (which has barely any notes so i guess i didn’t much care for it) (there’s a note later in the sheet that says the color of my mindblade -- however it manifests -- is gold)

AC: 24... but WAIT... because below the line it says... 29??? 29???? can i be reading this right? and it says “30 against Zahito” w/e that means. who the fuck is zahito, will my notes tell me later? yes

SKILLS: okay so this was not 5e, obviously, being over 10 years ago, so the skills are done completely differently. so what i see here. is that I gave her 6 ranks in CRAFT (BAKING)!!! i had completely forgotten about this. 

POSSESSIONS: 

Cookbook +1 cookie recipe +1 devil cookie recipe

EZ Bake Oven

Belt of Giant Strength ahh that explains that

ANIMAL COMPANION: Pegasus

Name (are you ready for this bc i was not): Agamemnononmemaga (i reaaally like palindromes, guys... and despite being a total tool Agamemnon is just fun to say)

Description:

to summarize, she was basically born into a noble family, was basically a snobby jerk who devoted her life to studying the (mind)blade

so I have notes on how her mindblade could split into two, guys, it looks like she just manifests whatever kind of weapons she wants i miss her can i play her again but it wouldn’t be the same

There is another page that just has “PSIONIC VALKYRIE” written across the top, which sounds freaking awesome. underneath it says “Pegasus + Battle Maiden” 

Class Feature: “Shape mind blade - beer” - all the effects of beer w/o the enjoyment; hangover; must act drunk ... this seems like something my DM must have given me as a joke lol

next page says “Battle Maiden + Kishi Charger ...ish” and then it’s just random notes and numbers

and finally... the adventure log

across the top is written is cursive: “Long Term Goal: breed pegasi”

it looks like we leveled up every week which was fun bc we got to higher levels faster. that was the only campaign i ever played in that did that. mostly we just slough around up to level 3 until the difficulty in organizing multiple people becomes Too Much

here are some random lines:

King Gustav the Attractive’s Strike Force (I think this was... our team name?)

sneaky guy tries to steal scrying thing (the way I wrote that just amused me, Aurelia was apparently not a good note taker... notes for an 11-session campaign are summarized over 1 slice of paper front and back)

sneak into fortress by posing as traveling bakers (this was it!!! i forgot about this!!!! what fun!!! it became our running cover story bc who DOESN’T want to hire traveling bakers?)

85 damage against earth elemental

“run around doing diplomacy stuff” the note taker strikes again

75 damage to main boss dude in place with people who were experimented on (oh, yikes)

Enemies:

Yuanti - Selhara: good, ally, my bffl (is this sarcastic? did i convert her? i have no idea, i can’t remember)

Nareth: Prince of the Thousand Flames Student Council of the Diminishing Ember, annoying arrogant demon fiend (I do vaguely remember this)

The Mask deMask: knows where Arion’s library is, hard to find, sells secrets, arcane magic, show off

Za Hiito (oh, so that’s what that was): likes poison cookies

Paranoia The afflicted character gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against charm effects, but takes a –2 penalty on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive checks. When the afflicted character attempts a Sense Motive check, the GM rolls the check in secret, and failure gives the afflicted character the impression that those whose motives he is trying to sense are plotting against him in some way. Lastly, any time the afflicted character tries to use or gain a benefit from the aid another action, or is the target of a beneficial spell or effect from an ally, he must succeed at a Will saving throw in order to take the aid another action or gain the benefit from the action, spell, or effect. Description A paranoid character is convinced that the world and society are conspiring toward his ruin. Typically those afflicted with paranoia are fidgety, argumentative, sullen, or extremely introverted.

Tell us about the soulknives

Ok so the soulknife is a solid psionic class that gets magic weapons made out of their minds. They’re a pretty fun, tier 3-4 class that is easy to play because you get a free weapon. (Not good because non-PoW martial noises but you can do some fun things.)Soulknives (and the ranged variant, soulbolts) get access to blade skills at level 2. These are basically neat tricks that a soulblade/bolt can do with their magic mind swords, and one of them is a cute little thing called Emulate Melee/Ranged Weapon. See, normally the mindblade takes a standard shape and does standard damage, but at the cost of a blade feat, you can turn it into the shape of any specific weapon you pick, and get that statline. When the Soulknife was written, the only cost-gated weapons were firearms (which are very good, but also forbidden from use with Emulate Ranged Weapon); every other weapon in the game had a base form that was less than 200gp. Emulate Melee/Ranged Weapon was and is clearly intended for people to specialize in a single weapon type and use feats associated with it. 

However, some assholes introduced the setting of Numeria, adding lots of anachronistic tech into the setting. There’s a lot of other bullshit you can do with it, but the important thing about Numerian weapons is that they are price gated.

So, let’s talk about the monowhip. Right away you may notice that this thing costs 70k gold. That’s fine! We don’t care, we’re not paying for it. Moving right along, we get to the basic stats and see 2d6 damage, 18-20 x3 crit. For those of you not familiar with pathfinder weapons, this is insane, especially for a light weapon; it opens up absurd potential for crit builds. But it gets better! Monowhips attack against touch AC (meaning you’ll almost never miss) and have a range of 15 feet. They consume their power quickly, but a soulknife emulating one can just reform the blade, power cell  fully charged. 

Too tame for you? Well, scroll down. See, while a soulknife can emulate monowhips and become a melee terror, the soulbolt can emulate heavy ranged weapons. I made the mistake of mentioning this build once and a few weeks later our DM decided to throw a soulbolt using a rocket launcher at us. (We survived because we’re all minmaxing assholes, but Jesus Christ it did a lot of damage)

A random Encounter for your players

A Short high level encounter based on an old Marvel Comics story  (Tales to Astonish #46 August, 1963)

A typical A-Chiltarian Scouting Party (EL15)

If the A-Chiltarian people become interested in conquering a planet, they will dispatch a Scouting party to observe the planet. A typical scouting party will include 6 Scouts to maintain equipment and do most of the grunt work, 2 Warriors to provide security and do most of the heavy lifting a captain to keep the unit on mission, and a Reaper combat Robot (Futuretech pg90).  For transport the party will have either a Scout class Ultralight (d20 Future pgs 121-122) or 1d4 Courier class Ultralights (d20 Future pgs 119-120), but, these most likely won't be used during the encounter.

A-Chiltarian

Species Traits

Ability Modifiers: +4Str, -2Dex, +2 Con, -2Cha, life on A-Chiltar III has gifted the A-Chiltarians with great physical strength and endurance at the cost of reduced mobility, and many creatures find their bestial appearance off-putting.  

Creature Type: A-Chiltarians are considered Monstrous Humanoids.

Size: Medium,  A-Chiltarians receive no size based bonuses or penalties

Darkvision (Ex): A-Chiltarians have Darkvision out to a range of 60ft

Base Land Speed: 30ft.

Bonus Feats: A-Chiltarians receive Archaic Weapons proficiency as a bonus feat.

Skills: Their compound eyes grant A-Chiltarians a +4Species bonus to spot checks

Extreme Natural Biome (Ex): A-Chiltar III is a harsh world with roughly 1.5x the gravity of earth and a methane heavy atmosphere nearly 3 times as dense as earth's.   A-Chiltarians must normally wear sealed environmental suits when operating on most planets, but, some seem to be able to  adapt themselves to milder conditions

Latent Psychic Potential (Su): While most A-Chiltarians don't properly develop it, all members of the species have a small amount of psionic power, allowing them to operate psy-tech gear and increasing their Power Points per day by 2.

Starting Languages: All  A-Chiltarians begin play with the ability to Read/write and Speak (Chiltarian) at GM's descretion the  A-Chiltarian character's tribe may also have their own languages.

Level Adjustment:.

Base Progress Level: Debatable +1 or -1 compared to base line humans(see note below)

The controversy of A-Chiltarian Technology: A-Chiltarians possess Sub-light spaceships, the ability to build massive remote controlled robots, brainwave based technology that can be used to control said robots or read the minds of other species to obtain useful information, and environmentally sealed combat suits, but, are otherwise claimed to lag behind humans technologically.  On the other hand, between people like Tony Stark or Doctor Doom and nations like Wakanda, it could easily be argued that Marvel Earth would be considered in the early to middle stages of Progress Level 6 by d20 Modern's reckoning.

Shardmind

Plot Seed - One villager, upon being asked about a strange and reclusive petrel who moved in, says that that must be the strange woman who lives south of town

1 - On investigation, the party sees a woman playing with three children outside a large cottage by a well. Her skin is an odd shade of purply red, revealing her as something other than human - A Perception 15 check reveals her to be made of crystal, a fact mostly hidden by her housewife attire

As the party approaches, she freezes, and shoes the children inside. They walk into the cottage, watching through the windows. The woman stands at attention, walks cautiously over to a barrel, and grabs a longspear from a nestle of tools. She looks serious, and ready to fight, and asks the party why they sought her out.

Depending on the party's actions, the two groups may fight. Once she is hit three times, her children come out to shield her at the turn's end.

The woman is named Elinor. She is motherly and patient, but can be fiercely protective.

She is of a planar race, created from the shards of the barrier that protects the world from the far planes. Once, she was a warrior who assisted in hunting others of her kin - In killing each one, she would improve the barrier's power. She has since deserted; In her old age, she has tired of killing for the strength of a barrier that may never recover.

She is protective of her adoptive children, all orphans, and is willing to defend herself to make sure they have a good life as a sort of penance.

2 - The party should be able to speak with her afterwards; her children cooking them a delicious soup from a cauldron (Elinor can not eat.)

This encounter should be an introduction to the cosmic destinies, and the mortal's reactions to them, indicative of the Angelpoint setting. Ideally, it should also earn the party an ally with great knowledge of planar history.

On the scholar: Elinor knows of the scholar the party seeks, saying that he goes by West and he helped her through her thoughts 40 years ago. It was on his advice that she took up this life, though her adoption of the orphans was simply something that happened. As a Storm Petrel, West embraces the need to choose your own destiny - Not abide by the destinies that were chosen for you.

She knows he's still in town, but hasn't seen him in months... She bemoans that he has grown increasingly reclusive and paranoid, as he grows closer to death in a life that rejects the guidance of gods. She does not know his address, as she respected his desire for privacy too much. However, she says that he once mentioned a basement lab on the few occasions he visited; "knowing him, it's probably hidden."

Or high-power psychics/psionics just flying across lands because they don't need planes. Which is also great because highly psychically-attuned grubs are weeded out in Alternia, but now they can just fly on top of a jpeg Statue of Liberty.

Pft X3 I know you mean the grubs are weeded out and the Trolls fly around, but I'm also thinking of just a little grub power-flying around.

[homestuckexamination]

You ever think about what a POS sburb/skrub is from a game design standpoint? No accessibility settings, no customer support, zero fucks given about photosensitive players, the meta is basically hardware based with the most powerful players being psionic/physic/trolls. no replay value, ect. ect. anything to add?

I’d argue that, considering the fact it is 100% fully customizable, and it allows you to Ascend to Godhood, overcoming physical limits such as ‘breathing in Space’ or ‘Flying’, it is actually very accessible. X3

Some X-Com Weapons

Auto-Cannon (UFO)

The auto-cannon combines the versatility and power of a heavy cannon with a faster rate of fire.

Incendiary  Fire   14     16      Targets struck/in are must make a DC 15 Fort save or catch fire

Heavy Cannon (UFO)

The Heavy Cannon is a devastating, but cumbersome, weapon. Its versatility comes from the fact that it can take three types of ammunition - armour piercing, incendiary and high explosive.

Heavy Laser (UFO)

The next step up from the Laser Rifle, the Heavy Laser generally fails to impress due to its weight and lack of an auto-shot feature. The aimed mode is very slow.

Special: The Heavy laser uses a non-removable internal battery, the battery can be recharged from any suitable power source at a rate of one shot per Round.  Requires Exotic Firearms Proficiency (Cannons)

Heavy Plasma (UFO)

The larger cousin of the Plasma Rifle, the Heavy Plasma Gun is a powerful squad support weapon which is nonetheless light enough to be usable by any soldier. It is the most powerful weapon available to X-Com agents short of the Blaster Launcher, plus it has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy.

Heavy Plasma PL 7 Damage: 4d10   Magazine: 35 (Cell) Critical: 20   Size: Large Damage Type: Fire   Weight: 16lb Range Increment: 100ft     Purchase DC: 35 (24 per powercell) Rate of Fire:  S,A       Restriction: Mil+3

Requires Exotic Firearms Proficiency HMGs, 3 Round Burst Setting (-2Attack, +4d10)

Dart Gun (TFTD)

The X-COM dart gun is a small, accurate, high powered unit with a 10* hollow dart ammo clip. The darts are fired by a gas cartridge in the ammo pod.

The Dart Gun is a low powered one-handed personal firearm that stores and fires 12 darts. It will function in any environment.

Dart Gun PL5 Damage: 2d4   Magazine: 12 (box) Critical: 19-20 Size:  Medium Damage Type: Piercing Weight: 4lb Range Increment: 20ft   Purchase DC: 17 (8 per 12 round clip) Rate of Fire:  S     Restriction: Licensed+1

Jet Harpoon (TFTD)

This aqua-rifle is accurate and powerful, firing hollow steel harpoons from sealed packs of 10. Each harpoon has its own gas reservoir.

The Jet Harpoon fires a high pressure jet propelled armour piercing harpoon. Like the harpoons used by divers for hunting dangerous sea creatures, the Jet Harpoon has been adapted as X-COM's initial standard underwater rifle. They can be fired in any environment with no loss in power or accuracy.

Harpoon Jet PL 5 Damage: 2d8            Magazine: 10 (box) Critical: 19-20   Size:  Large Damage Type: Peircing Weight: 12lb Range Increment: 60ft   Purchase DC: 25 (12 per 10 round clip) Rate of Fire: S,A     Restriction: Res+2

Special: 3 Round Burst Setting (-2Atk, +2d8)

Torpedo Launcher (TFTD)

A real heavyweight, this large launcher fires three types of torpedo, each with its own propulsion unit. A devastating weapon, with only manual loading being its drawback. Ammunition types available include large or small high explosive and phosphor tipped torpedoes, all for submerged use only.

The Torpedo Launcher is a man-portable torpedo launcher. It only functions underwater.

Similar to the Gas Cannon, the Torpedo Launcher specializes in arming variable ammunition types. It takes two flavours of high explosive torpedoes: the Small Torpedo and Large Torpedo as well as a special Phosphor Torpedo.

Phosphorous 6d6/Fire 18 10ft (Ref15) 15lb Illuminates a 40ft radius 1d4 rounds

Disruptor Pulse Launcher (TFTD)

The Disruptor Pulse Launcher which can be carried with one hand is perhaps the worst thing since the Blaster Launcher from the First Alien War. Though it depends on whose fingers are on the trigger: human or alien.

In many ways, the under-water restriction is a hidden blessing for X-COM. There is nothing like a nuke for accidentally killing three civilians in order to get rid of one Gillman, and can you even imagine a human Cruise Ship keeping itself afloat should several of those babies go off in the engine room?

Alloy Cannon (EU2012)

The alien alloys have proven to be extremely difficult to forge and manipulate for use in our theoretical designs. Machining the alloy was an arduous process, leaving us with limited options as to what it could be used for. Although we considered the alien alloy's density a benefit, one that made it ideal for use as an advanced form of projectile ammunition, the material proved to be so dense that it ate directly into the weapon's barrel...making it useless after a single firing. After a number of failed attempts, we finally managed to develop a barrel sleeve made from the alloys, which has so far survived several hundred test firings during our experiments. With the "alloy cannon," as we've been calling it, now operational, we've had ample time to study the effects of its design. Although similar to a traditional shotgun configuration, because of its specialized ammunition, the alloy cannon is substantially more powerful, and deadly. Testing on targets made up of a modified ballistic gel proved pointless, as the targets were completely penetrated by the alloy munitions, despite an average thickness of roughly two meters. Needless to say, this weapon will have a similar effect on any hostile targets our troops might encounter.

By developing a firing mechanism capable of projecting machined shards of the alien alloy, we've created an extremely powerful weapon that has a devastating effect on anything caught in range. However, accuracy falls off quickly over greater distances.

The most advanced version of the shotgun that XCOM can engineer.

Like all shotgun variants, has a high base chance to cause critical hits but limited range.

Plasma Lance (XCom2)

The Plasma Lance is a primary weapon in XCOM 2.

The aliens' focused beam technology has obvious applications for improving sniper rifles. The Plasma Lance is an unmatched sniper rifle.

Laser SMG (Bureau)

The Bureau's iteration of the Laser Rifle, most Outsiders will carry this gun, until they become phased out with the Pulse Laser Rifle. It's firing rate is similar to that of the M14, and your commandos can take this weapon.

Laser SMG PL 6 Damage: 2d6   Magazine: 35 (Cell) Critical:  20   Size: Large Damage Type: Fire   Weight: 7lb Range Increment: 70ft   Purchase DC: 24 Rate of Fire: S.A    Restriction: Mil+3

Blaster Launcher (Bureau)

Similar in build to the M79 grenade launcher (think: Terminator 2, the gun Arnold uses to blow open the T-1000 at the end), this rear-loading Plasma artillery weapon launches 3 explosive rounds that follow a wavy path towards their target. It has a very low accuracy, so naturally it is best suited for unaware or large targets. The blaster launcher description says that rockets will auto acquire targets, but in practice you are best off aiming.

Scatter Laser (Bureau)

A laser-variant shotgun, the Scatter Laser will be the first alien weapon you procure, during the mission to rescue Dr Wier from his research laboratory. Carter will radio Director Faulke, pointing it's availability out (when, prior, any and all alien weapons exploded when the user died). Faulke thinks it may be a trap, but you should take it, as you'll be fighting a Sectopod and a Gunship later in this mission. Engineers will be able to equip this weapon, once you get to a resupply station, or back to base.

Proximity Mine Launcher

The Proximity Mine Launcher is a Tactical Subsystem available to MECs in XCOM: Enemy Within.

The MEC launches a mine that is triggered by enemy movement. The mine causes 8 explosive damage and has a relatively wide radius.  The movement of XCOM soldiers will not trigger the mine, but any caught in the explosion will be injured.

The launching radius of the mine is even further than that of the grenade launcher. However, the mine cannot bounce off surfaces, so it is possible for "dead angles" to exist.

Proximity Mine Launcher (PL5)

d20 Rules: All creatures within 10ft of the mecha are healed for 2d6 points of damage,the tank can store 2 charges

Electro Pulse

Electro Pulse is a Tactical Subsystem for MECs in XCOM: Enemy Within.

Electro Pulse is an Area of Effect ability that deals 5 damage to all units (excluding the user) within its radius, with a 2 turn cooldown. Robotic enemies are stunned for one turn in addition to being damaged.

Electro Pulse is recommended for MECs with Kinetic Strike Module (KSM), as the extra movement will allow the MEC to get into position easier. Furthermore, disabled robotic enemies will be an easy target for the KSM.

Electro Pulse has a radius of 4 tiles. It is relatively large and care should be exercised lest your own soldiersbe affected by it.

The shock wave of Electro Pulse goes through any obstacle, including walls. It is therefore possible for a MEC that is outside of a building to Electro Pulse enemies that are inside.

Electro Pulse does not break the effects of a Ghost Grenade, allowing the MEC to easily approach a Sectopod in Overwatch mode.

Electro Pulse ignores the 50% damage reduction normally granted to Sectopods, and Mechtoids under the effect of Mind Merge. With the Sectopod's buff in Enemy Within, this effectively doubles the value of the 5 damage that Electro Pulse deals (which is equivalent to 10 damage from other weapons which would be halved), which is extremely valuable even without taking into account the EMP effect that will stun the Sectopod for a full turn.
