New Skills
Electrical: BattleMech Electronics: First hand knowledge of the electrical systems built into the
BattleMechs. Characters with this skill may be able to work on Coalition, Triax, Northern Gun, and/or CyberWorks
robot vehicles and power armor, but at a -15% penalty, and Robotech Mecha is at a -50% penalty, unless Working on a
LAM Mecha. Base skill: 35% + 5% per level of experience.
Mechanical: BattleMech Mechanics: This skill encompasses a comprehensive knowledge and ability to
repair, build, and modify BattleMechs. Characters with this skill may be able to work on Coalition, Triax, Northern
Gun, and/or CyberWorks robot vehicles and power armor, but at a -15% penalty, and Robotech Mecha is at a -50%
penalty, unless working on a LAM Mecha. Base skill: 35% + 5% per level of experience.
Pilot: BattleMech: Characters with this skill are taught the basics of piloting the giant BattleMechs. As the
controls of each BattleMech are very similar, characters are able to jump from 'Mech to 'Mech with ease. Characters
with this skill can also pilot other styles of Robots, including RDF/REF Destroids and Southern Cross/EBSIS Battloids,
as well as models produced by the Coalition and Triax, but at a -15% penalty. This does not allow the character to use
transformable or transfigurable mecha, such as the Veritechs, unless using a LAM Mecha. Note that this covers just
piloting the Mech. A character still needs the relevant Combat Skills in order to fight. Base Skill: 50% + 5% per level.
Pilot: Mecha Combat: BattleMech, Basic: There is also a stat block for basic BattleMech combat
training. This is the standard substandard training given to all Secondary MechWarriors and most Mercenaries. This
allows the pilot to use the Mech well in combat, but not at peak efficiency.
Pilot: Mecha Combat: BattleMech, Elite: There is also a stat block for elite BattleMech combat
training. This skill allows the pilot to use the BattleMech at peak efficiency in combat. This also allows the character to
use any similar combat vehicle at the BASIC level. This is reserved for Primary MechWarriors, although a handful of
Mercenaries and Secondary Warriors have this skill.
Hand to Hand Bonuses From BASIC BattleMech Combat Training:
Pilot all BattleMechs

One hand to hand attack per melee, plus those of pilot
Body Block/Ram/Tackle -- 1D6 MD plus a 45% chance of knocking opponent down. Counts as TWO

New Occupational Character Classes
Primary Clan MechWarrior OCC

The Primary Clan MechWarrior is the creme de la creme of the Clan. He is blindly loyal to the Clan, and will fight for
the Clan's honor above all else. The heart of the MechWarrior is his BattleMech, a towering MDC monstrosity. A
MechWarrior is trained since birth to pilot one of the 'Mechs, and even a rookie MechWarrior in his first combat is a
deadly combatant.
Attribute Requirements: IQ 10. A high PS, PP, and PE are preferred, but not necessary.
Alignment: Any, although Miscreant and Diabolic are extremely rare.
OCC Skills:
Pilot BattleMechs (+20%)

* Can be changed to Art of The Clans at the cost of one other skill, Martial Arts of choice or Assassin (if
evil alignment) at the cost of two "other" skills.
OCC Related Skills: Pick eight skills, plus one at level three, one at level six, and one at level eleven. All new
skills start at level one proficiency.

extra uniform, flashlight, 12 signal flares, and 6 to 12 mines.
Money: Normally none, as the Clan will provide everything. Should the MechWarrior be assigned to a long-term
recon assignment, he or she will be issued the following: 2000 credits for enlisted men at levels 1 through 5, 28000
credits for 6th level and higher, while high-ranking officers (captains and higher) will be given 34000 to 42000 credits.
Secondary Clan MechWarrior OCC

While the Primary Clan MechWarrior is the creme de la creme of the Clan, the Secondary Clan MechWarriors are not.
These are the backup, rear-line disposable fighters, who are not always loyal to the Clan. These Secondary
MechWarriors are often promoted from another caste, instead of being born in the MechWarrior caste. As such, they are
often given older, less powerful Mechs, substandard training, looked down upon by Primary MechWarriors, and are
generally made to feel like second-class MechWarriors. Despite this, many Secondary MechWarriors are often as good
as, or even better than, many Primary MechWarriors, although this will never be admitted by the Clan.
Attribute Requirements: IQ 10, and a high PS, PP, and PE are highly recommended.
Alignment: Any. OCC Skills:

Mecha Combat: BattleMech, Basic * Can be changed to Elite at the cost of one "other" skill.

recon assignment, he or she will be issued the following: 18000 credits for enlisted men at levels 1 through 5, 20000
credits for 6th level and higher.
MechWarrior Mercenary OCC

Unlike the Clan MechWarrior, the MechWarrior Mercenary is only in the Mech for the money. They will fight under
contract for anyone, even if they've fought against them in the past. Many Mercenaries have been known to "bug out" if
the fighting got too thick, saving their lives and their Mechs rather than suffer a crippling defeat. In fact, there have
been instances of Mercenaries abandoning teammates just to save their own skins. Mercenaries have a reputation for
brutality, although only a select few are truly merciless.
Mercenaries can be former Primary or Secondary Clan MechWarriors who left their Clan, either willingly or by force.
This is an extremely rare situation, however. There is heavy bias from the Clans against Mercenaries, and most would
rather starve than sink to Mercenary status. The Clan MechWarrior who sinks to Mercenary levels maintain their
Experience Points and Level, and maintain their old OCC.
Attribute Requirements: A high PS, PP, and PE are preferred, but not necessary.
Alignment: Primarily Selfish and Evil alignments. No Mercenary is Principled, although there is the rare
Scrupulous Mercenary.

Note: Any Clan MechWarrior that sinks to Mercenary level retains all his skills and skill level. His alignment,
however, cannot be Principled. If Principled, he must choose, or be assigned by the GM, either Scrupulous or Aberrant.
Monthly Wages: 2000 credits for enlisted men at levels 1 through 5, 2800 credits for 6th level and higher, while
Mercenary Unit Commanders (captains and higher) make 3400 to 4200 credits per month.
Personal Savings: 3D6x100 credits

BattleMech Engineer OCC

As good as the MechWarriors are, most of them know nothing about fixing their giant BattleMechs. That's where the
BattleMech Engineer comes into play. These men and women are not combatants, yet even the most arrogant Primary
Clan MechWarrior will admit that the wars would not be won without the BattleMech Engineer.
It is the duty of the BattleMech Engineer to service, repair, modify, and maintain the BattleMechs in perfect working
order. He or she can also recharge energy clips for weapons, repair conventional vehicles, and may have a number of
other electrical and/or mechanical skills.
Although the BattleMech Engineer can repair the BattleMechs with astounding ability, the BME cannot pilot the Mech.
Attribute Requirements: IQ of 12.

Psionics: 25% chance of a BME being a minor psionic, capable of developing only the minor powers available to
the Operator.
Equipment: Portable tool kit, large tool kit, soldering iron, laser torch, roll of duct tape, two rolls of electrical
tape, pen flashlight, large flashlight, a dozen flares, 200 ft of super-lightweight rope, a couple knives, notebook,
portable disk recorder, protective goggles, work gloves, doctor's gloves, other tools of the trade.
More expensive diagnostic equipment, computers, optical enhancements, and sensory equipment may either be owned
by the Clan or Mercenary unit, or purchased later.
Select two energy weapons of choice (gets 2 e-clips for each), and two blunt weapons of choice (hammer, staff, etc).
The character's vehicle will usually be some sort of conventional or hover vehicle, but will never be a robot vehicle.
Cybernetics: None to start, but may be purchased later, and are limited to sensory equipment. Clan BMEs eschew
cybernetics.
Monthly Wages: 25000-30000 credits

Personal Savings: 3D6x1000 credits
Mercenary Units
Derangediers
Led by the notorious mercenary commander, Col. Mack Vandemar, the Derangediers are among the deadliest of
mercenary units. They have adapted easily to Rifts Earth, and their unit now includes several native headhunters,
including a handful of D-Bees. The Derangediers live up to their name, often taking the riskiest and often insane jobs
nobody else will take. They also charge their clients exhorbant prices for these missions, but are worth every penny.
Col. Vandemar was one of three survivors of a jumpship mishap that stranded his old unit in orbit above Rifts Earth,
and at the mercy of the hunter-killer satellites. Thinking quickly, Vandemar ejected his unit's dropship from the
jumpship, and it fell into the Amazon jungle. He, along with the other two survivors, then spent the next few years
working his way northward, following the coastline. Doing this, he managed to avoid the Vampire Kingdoms in
Mexico.
When he reached arrived in Lone Star, he happened across a mercenary unit that used both Clan and Successor State
Mechs in it's operations. following the Mechs to their source, he was surprised to find the Kingdom of Pitt under Clan
Nova Cat rule. Taking advantage of the situation, he purchased a number of Mechs, rebuilding the Derangediers.
Another interesting note about the Derangediers is their use of Triax and Titan combat robots alongside their standard
Mechs. They have yet to obtain a Coalition combat robot, but that is only a matter of time.

The Clans
Clan Ghost Bear
Clan Ghost Bear is, without a doubt, one of the three most powerful Clans in their own time period. Ironically, they are
the weakest of the three Clans on Rifts Earth.
Due to a jump drive misfire, a jump ship carrying a number of Clan MechWarriors and support personnel crash landed
in the Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island. Out of a company of hundreds, only two dozen MechWarriors lived. Only a
handful of the Mechs were salvaged whole from the wreckage; the remaining Mechs had to be sacrificed to keep the
Mechs in use operational.
Since that time, the Clan Ghost Bear survivors have become a band of nomads, searching for any sign of human
civilization. Due to their isolated landing site, they are unaware of exactly where, much less when, they are. They have
yet to attempt to cross the Rocky Mountains.
19
At the present time, the Clan has yet to come across more than the occasional Wilderness Scout and D-Bee settlement.
Clan Nova Cat

Once the weakest of the Clans in their own time period, Clan Nova Cat has proven to be the strongest of the Clans on
Rifts Earth.
For reasons known only to them, a sizable portion of all of Clan Nova Cat's varied castes had been on board one of the
jumpships when it's jumpdrive misfired. The result was that the ship crash-landed in the Ohio River on Rifts Earth in
73 P.A. during one of the nastiest Rifts flare-ups in the Ohio River Valley Magic Zone, not far from the remains of the
pre-Rifts city of Pittsburgh.
Back before the coming of the Age of Rifts, Pittsburgh had been a major industrial center. Because it was so far inland
when the Rifts flared, the city was spared most of the devastation that had struck the coastal cities. Yet, because the city
was near enough to the Ohio Valley Magic Zone, it suffered from constant demon and D-Bee attacks.
When Clan Nova Cat emerged from their jumpship's wreckage, they immediately set about rebuilding and retooling the
factories for their use. The small cluster of MechWarriors on board the jumpship at first spent their time defending the
Clan from the demons that roamed the countryside. Since then, Clan MechWarriors have spent the majority of their
time defending the Clan or scouting out this strange world they've found themselves in.
It was in the year 99 P.A. that the Clan became known to the (then) Coalition State of Free Quebec. At first, the Clan
and Quebec forces distrusted each other, but each soon saw certain advantages to being "unofficial" allies. This has led
to a trade and non-aggression pact between the two. To date, Free Quebec has not revealed the location or even the
existence of Clan Nova Cat to the other Coalition States. It is uncertain whether Clan Nova Cat will get involved in the
war between Free Quebec and the Coalition States, although a large number of the Mechwarriors are pushing for
sending aid.
As a Clan, Clan Nova Cat is one of the more philosophical and, some would say, mystical of the Clans. The leaders of
the Clan are usually older than most Clan leaders. They are also highly skilled "seers", with the majority of them (85%)
possessing the psionic powers of Clairvoyance and Sixth Sense. Many in the Clan have also developed psionic abilities
to one degree or another. Also, there have been instances of people in the Clan becoming mystics. Due to the increasing
number of mystics, especially among the Rifts-earth born Clan members, the Clan saw it necessary to create a separate
caste for them between the merchants and the technicians
One of the mystics has suggested that the reason there are so many mystics among the younger Clan members is due to
the ley line nexus in Pitt. There is a trio of ley lines that follow the Ohio, Allegheny, and Manongahela Rivers. All three
lines come to a point where the rivers join together.
Background
What is BattleTech?
BattleTech is another universe, a universe much better off for mankind than the Rifts universe. It is the 31st century,
and mankind has spread to the stars. 3 centuries of almost continuous warfare have destroyed much of the technology
that was developed, though much of it has been recovered in later years. The main means of warfare still happens on
planets, using 30 meter tall robot vehicles known as BattleMechs, or Mechs. Vaguely humanoid in appearance, they
weigh anywhere from 20 to 100 tons, and are capable of mounting a fearsome array of missiles, autocannons, lasers
and particle cannon.
The period of time immediately following the invention of the jump drive, the only means of traveling between stars in
this other universe, was more peaceful than humanity had known before. The Star League was formed, and was
20
actually quite effective. That all changed in the 28th century, when a usurper to the throne of Star Lord effectively
single-handedly demolished all that the Star League had sought to build. Alexander Kerensky, leader of the Star League
Defense Force, stormed the citadel of the usurper with his forces. He then took most of the SLDF and left the Inner
Sphere, the region of inhabited space. He said he left to prevent the SLDF from being used in the times of chaos that
would follow. Sadly, his prediction was correct, and the Star League was torn asunder by the various Lords. The five
Lords formed five nations; the Draconis Combine, the Federated Suns, the Lyran Commonwealth, the Capellan
Confederation and the Free Worlds League. These Successor States warred among themselves constantly for the next 3
centuries or so, only occasionally pausing.
Many things have happened in the 31st century, and many books have been written about them. The point in history
that this conversion is concerned with is 3058. Kerensky's SLDF returned to the Inner Sphere as the almost alien Clans,
a people who had become almost solely adapted to warfare. They claimed that the Inner Sphere was their legacy, and
that they sought to recreate the Star League. The invasion lasted several years, and was excessively bloody in terms of
life lost. Only by banding together did the Successor States manage to stop the Clan invasion. Unable to continue their
campaign to retake Earth, the Clans turned their focus inward, warring among themselves. With the threat of the Clan
invasion gone, the Inner Sphere has likewise resumed warring among itself.
Because of how jumpships work, some of these 31st century soldiers have turned up on Rifts Earth. Jumpships work by
tearing a hole in the universe and creating an artificial wormhole. The problem is that unless the drives are carefully
charged, misjumps can occur. These ships and their crew are never seen again. This happened to the forces of three of
the Clans, along with several mercenary armies. The jumpships appeared on Earth, coming through various rifts. The
jumpships were without exception destroyed, as they were never made to operate in a gravity field, but the majority of
the MechWarriors and their Mechs survived. Now, they must adapt to this new world.

W.E.M.(Weapon Enhancement Multipak)

The WEM is the lastest development for the VF series star fighters used by the Star League. Improving these fighters
has been a goal since the first designs were aquired from the UN Spacy. The WEM, or Weapon Enhancment Multipak,
carries several weapon systems and enhances the combat performance and survivabiliy of the fighters. It provides more
speed, shield strength and weapons then any other system previously created. The it is called a Multipak because it can
be custom configured to suite the needs of the pilot. In its standard configuration, it carries 8 mini missile launchers, 4
rapid fire micro omega torpedo launchers, 4 linear particle beam cannons, and 8 fusion beam rifles. It also has more
powerful engines. sensors, and lifesupport systems for the VF crew.

Endo Canister
Endo canisters are grenade-sized canisters used to put out fires. They emit foam that suppresses oxygen and
causes an endothermic reaction that lowers the effected area by 100 degrees Celsius.
Model Type: Small Endothermic Canister
Class: Thrown Endothermic Canister
Statistical Data:
Dimensions: the size of grenade; can be loaded into most grenade launchers
Weight: 1lb.
Primary Purpose: Fire Suppression
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Rate of Fire: Standard
Effective Range: Dependent on the range of a grenade launcher or the range of the thrower
Payload: 1
Effect: One burst covers the target or targeted area up to 50 ft in diameter with foam. The large area of coverage gives
the wielder +6 to hit. This foam suppresses oxygen and causes an endothermic reaction that lowers the temperature by
100 degrees Celsius. This effect may freeze any creature without full environmental protection. While the spray
doesnt normally do any direct damage, it will make most armor more brittle than it normally would be. Such that
kinetic, explosive, and concussion weapons do twice as much damage as normal. Because of the massive flux in
extremes, plasma weapons will do triple the normal amount of damage. Laser based weaponry will only do half the
normal amount of damage, because they dont heat the area they strike as much as they would under normal conditions.
This effect lasts for 2D4 minutes.
Black Market Cost: 100 credits
Lock-N-Load Equipment
I'm going to be using several pieces of equipment found in the Lock-N-Load War Manual from the Battlelords RPG in
my Rifts game. In most cases, the equipment can be brought over with no changes. Some can't. The equipment being
listed below is what I will allow in my game, however, almost everything in the sourcebook can be used for Rifts. I
leave that decision to other GMs.
For the purposes of Rifts, while many of these items could be considered as being local to Rifts Earth, like the SDC
Armor, Powder Weapons, Chainguns, and the BBLs, some items would fall outside of ability of local manufacturers to
make, like some of the higher end armors and helmets, carousel guns, and some of the lasers. As such, their sources
should be considered as being extradimensional, much like Naruni Enterprises. Of course with these extradimensional
manufacturers, like Bear Armor Corporation (Mist, Kodiak, Bear, Cub, and Grizzly Armors), Arkatron Industries (All
Carousel Guns), Marrson Optics (Luxxman, Falcon, and Range Hound), Balshrom Science Corporation (Spectrum,
Flashlight, Gamma 4, Lancer, and OC-66), and Able Corporation (Force, OC-1, and Able Ram), their principle interest
is in selling their wares, not in taking over the planet. Considering their source then, most of these items would be
considered as anything from Rare and Very Rare for the higher end weaponry and armor, to just Hard to Find for the
helmets and some of the armors. Many of these items have been specially modified to work under the conditions found
on Rifts Earth, and may not be compatible with other versions that can be found elsewhere in the multiverse.
Armor Systems
Body Armor
While LNL uses a straight hitpoint system, Rifts does not. Certain armors are definitely SDC only, while others can be
construed as MDC armor. I'm going to list them as I see them, others might see it differently. None of the SDC or MDC
body armor found in LNL is full environmental. While some will give you protection from gases and toxins, very rarely
will they give you any type of radiation protection. In almost all cases, none are powered or offer any kind of air
recycling systems.

Notes: These suits are made for city fighting and light SDC combat. As such, they only have a -10% Penalty for
Prowling.
The Street armors are clothing manufactured to be bulletproof. They can be detected with metal detectors or
anyone with any type of armor assessment skill. The Streetwise armor is the best of the Street armors, being
undetectable unless inspected by someone with either the Armorer (-15%) or Find Contraband (-20%) skills.
The Flex Suit is a very flexible suit of armor (no penalties to prowl); however, it takes double damage from
energy attacks.

Notes: These suits are made for heavy fighting, and don't have as much flexibility as lighter weight armors. They have
a -25% penalty to Prowl.
The Reflection Suit is an anti-beam weapon suit. All beam weapons do half damage, with any damage less
than 9 being completely deflected. It cannot be counteracted, however the suit can be easily seen at great
distances with attackers getting a +3 to hit at all ranges.
The Guisarme Suit uses a sophisticated system of hydraulic pumps and servos to propel the suit at speeds
approaching 63mph. However, there is a cumulative +2% for every point of damage that the armor takes that
it will shutdown and leave the wearer stiff as a board.
26
The Infiltrator Suit can change shape and form to appear as any type of armor or loose fitting clothing. It
increases all Disguise and Infiltration checks by 60%; however, inspection by anyone with either Armorer or
Find Contraband will be able to detect any differences between the Infiltrator and what it is imitating (-20%).
Because of its flexibility, the Prowl penalty is only -5%.
The Protecon Suit is immune to corrosive attacks and takes half damage from all kinetic weapons (armor
piercing missiles, railguns, bullets, etc).
The Opticon is a heavier version of the Reflection Suit. The only difference is that any beam weapon damage
less than 8 is deflected.
The Spymaster can change shape and form to appear as any type of armor or loose fitting clothing. It
increases all Disguise and Infiltration checks by 60%; however, inspection by anyone with either Armorer or
Find Contraband will be able to detect any differences between the Infiltrator and what it is imitating (-20%),
& comes with a Chameleon unit (as per spell lv10 at will), sonic dampener (75% can't be heard), tow line,
and scalers (wall-climbing suction cups). Tow line is 70 feet long and can stick into walls (does 3D6 SDC to
flesh). Because of its flexibility, the Prowl penalty is only -5%.

Notes: These are truly heavy suits. They use servos and light power amplification to decrease the weight of the armor
on the wearer, hence the actual weight and the encumbrance weight (the weight they feel). They also take half damage
from lasers and kinetic attacks (Rail Guns, AP Rounds, etc). They have built in batteries which can power the suits for
up to 4 days of active use. They are fully self contained and environmentally sealed.
The CD2 Commando has 2 mini-missiles mounted on each arm, a smoke generator (2 charges), and
mechanized speed like the Guisarme (40 mph). Chance of Failure: 2% cumulative per 4 MD of damage.
The Hansen has a back mounted anti-missile system. When a missile approaches within 300 feet, a minimissile is launched to engage it automatically (no pilot actions used) at +10 to hit. Carries 12 mini-missiles.
They cannot be used for offensive attacks.
Gladiator armor is specially designed for large beings (over 7 feet tall) and can't be used by normal or smaller
sized beings. It also carries 4 mini-missiles on each arm.
The Dragoon mounts the Digiton missile rack on its back. Carries 15 Short-Range missiles. The rack has 45
MDC, and if hit, the exploding missile damage is channeled away from the suit, doing no damage.
The Mist uses a special system of heat sensitive sensors to detect incoming plasma or flame attacks. It then
releases liquid nitrogen-2 in a spray from tiny ports which cover the armor. The mist cools the flame within
micro-seconds of impact. The result: flame and plasma attacks do only 1/4 damage. The suit holds enough
nitrogen for 50 uses.
The CD-7 is a more heavily armored version of the CD2 armor with lighter weight materials.

Notes: MBAs are fully powered battle armor. They have all the features of Power Armor. Speed and Strength is the
pilot's times 2. Except for the MBA, none have built in weapons; however, they can carry or have installed weapon
systems up to the carry weight of the pilot times 2.
The MBA, or Mechanized Battle Armor, can carry either the equivalent weapon systems of the NG-X9
Samson (Super Rail Gun, Rocket Launchers, Vibro Knuckle Blades [3D6 MD]) or up to 100K credits worth
of weapons systems.
The Argus includes the Guisarme's propulsion system, which propels the suit up to 63 mph (chance of failure:
1% cumulative per 10 MD of damage). However, the pilot has the option as to whether or not they want to
use it. If the pilot decides not to use it, then the speed is 4 times the pilot's speed. Effects of failure while
active is that of the Guisarme (total movement lockup); however, if not active when it fails, there is no effect
other than the system refusing to operate.

The Multi-Optics Helmet 3 (MOH 3) and the Cranium Monster provide +4 versus mental attacks, multioptics capability, and +2 to hit.
Weapon Systems
Powder Weapons
While the list in the Rifts book is nice, I also like the list included in this book. If you want the full list, buy the book.
I'm only going to list those weapons I feel would be MD rated or are of special note. Also as an additional note, if the
Rate of Fire (RoF) is listed as more than one, then that is how many rounds are fired at the target per pull of the trigger.
If the Rate of Fire is more than 3, then the shot is considered a burst and the strike is rolled as a burst. If the RoF is 3 or
less, then the strike can be rolled as an aimed shot. Damage listed is for the entire burst.

The Nitro Express is a rifle disguised as a shotgun. You need at least a 20 strength to fire this rifle with no penalties (-5
otherwise). It is not possible to fire this weapon double-barrel. A natural, critical hit of 18 or above can knock down a
man-sized target, even if it is airborne. A successful Dodge or Roll with damage negates this. Effect of knock down,
target loses 1 attack. Ammo costs 200cr for 5 rounds.

The Barrett uses a special version of the .50 caliber ammunition round, with 14 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the
breach. It has no recoil due to its advanced muzzle brake and tripod system, which gives the Barrett an additional +2 to
hit. The Barrett is designed for Aimed shots, however it can be picked up and fired from the hip, as if the user were
firing Wild.
Note: The Barrett uses a longer version of the .50 caliber round, which is not compatible with .50 caliber machineguns.
Attempting to use Barrett ammo in a .50 machinegun will cause the gun to jam each time it is used.

With the exception of the RoadBlocker, all of the shotguns are made from plastics and ceramics. The HS Series D and
the H&K Bulwark only fire in short bursts and follow the standard rules for firing short bursts.
The standard 10g slug rounds do SDC damage, however, they can be traded out for High-Explosive MD rounds. Made
30
out of the same explosive material fusion blocks are made from, these HE MD rounds do 1D4 MD, and cost 2000
credits for a box of 10. The standard 10g rounds cost 200 credits for a box of 10.
Carousel Guns
Imagine a weapon that fires the same rounds as a railgun, does about the same damage, but is the size and weight of an
automatic rifle. If you can, then you have a Carousel Gun. While a railgun uses magnetic acceleration along a long
narrow muzzle to accelerate the slugs, a Carousel Gun accelerates the slugs into a circular orbit around a electromagnetic core. The longer the slug is in the acceleration chamber, the faster it accelerates.
It takes 2 actions to fire a carousel gun. The first activates the weapon and puts the slug into the chamber, the second
actually fires the weapon. A minimum of 6 seconds is needed to accelerate the slug to firing speed (1/2 melee round).
However, the user may decide to leave the slug in for longer than 6 seconds to gain more speed. The max range will
increase by 330 feet for each additional second the slug stays in the chamber, up to 6 seconds for 1970 feet. The
damage also increases for +1 for each additional second, up to 6 seconds.
What this means is that the gun can be activated to fire at the beginning of the attack round, but won't fire until the
middle of the round (6 seconds later). If the person holds the slug in the chamber for 6 seconds to get more range and
damage, then the slug isn't actually fired until the end of the round. If a person holds the slug for less than 6 additional
seconds, then they can use the remainder of the round for some other form of attack. No matter what, a carousel gun
can only be fired twice a round for normal shots, or once a round for extended range and damage shots.
Carousel Guns have one additional penalty. A person firing a carousel gun cannot move while a round is being
accelerated. The only exception to this is if the gun is vehicle or robot mounted, or the individual has a strength greater
than 18. This is due to fact that once the slug starts accelerating, the person is being affected by a limited gravity field
that holds the person in place unless they can overcome the effects of the gravity field. Anybody with less than 18
strength is stuck in place and cannot dodge or roll, or do anything else physical. Also, because the gun can generally
only be fired two-handed, the person can't parry as well. Beings with strengths between 18 and 25 can move, but only
at half speed, with half their normal bonuses to dodge, parry, or roll with damage. Beings with strength 25 and above
can move as normal.
Besides the standard railgun slug, Carousel Guns can use different types of slugs with different effects. Each slug type
comes in a box of 100 rounds.
Standard Round: The standard railgun slug. Cost: 100cr per box.
Silver Rounds: These silver railgun slugs do 2 less damage before the x5 multiplier against normal targets,
but has all the effects of silver weapons on creatures affected by silver. Cost: 500cr per box.
Depleted Uranium Core: This a standard slug shell with a depleted uranium core. Upon impact, the shell
flattens and the core rips through even the heaviest of armors. Damage rolls are increased by +5 before the x5
modifier. It is an armor piercing round. Cost: 1500cr per box.
Incendiary: This is a slug shell filled with white phosphorus. Because it is lighter than a standard round it
does 1 less damage before the x5 multiplier, but it does an additional 1D4 MD damage for 1D4 rounds. It
also ignites combustible materials upon impact. Cost: 700cr per box.
Explosive: This is a slug shell filled with explosives. Because it is lighter than a standard round it does 1 less
damage before the x5 multiplier, but there is an 80% chance the round will explode for an additional 2D6
MD. Cost: 1000cr per box.

Besides the slugs carried in them, Carousel Guns also require power to fire. This power can be provided by a standard
e-clip. A standard e-clip will provide enough power to fire a number of slugs equal to 1/2 the number of slugs a gun can
carry. So while a Crusher can fire 30 times before requiring a new e-clip, a Meteor can only fire 5 times before needing
31
a new clip (15 fires / 3 slugs per fire). Since Carousel Guns store the e-clips in an internal compartment, they cannot
use long e-clips or e-canisters; however, they can be fitted to use the new E-Packs. An E-Pack will provide enough
power to fire a number of slugs equal to 3 times the number of slugs the gun can fire.
