Editing SWADE.SF.Bughunters

Based on the TSR setting Bughunters, these rules are a converion of the favor of that game to the Savage Worlds Adenture Edition (SWADE) with ideas and updates from the Science Fiction Companion (SFC).

==BRIEF HISTORY OF EARTH 2198==

Mankind discoved safe interstellar travel in the late 21st century but finds the average human can't handle the physical stress outside of a stasis chamber. Synthetic humans (synths or synners) are cloned from paid average citizens, enhanced and sent out to protect human interests as they settle the cosmos. Along the way they have encounter hostile aliens.

These synners are "born" with all the memories of their hosts, given enhanced attributes, denser skeletons, plastic reinforced organ protection and preprogrammed skills. Only created to serve the United Terran Reconnaissance and Peacekeeping Force (UTRPF or ''utter-puff'') spawning a human rights movement for them back home on Earth a place they themselves are forbidden from ever setting foot on.  

They are slaves and heroes, envied and looked up, fear, abused and entrusted with the future of the human race. PCs explore new worlds, pacify (ala exterminate all hostile life forms) them for colonization, perform SAR missions and combat hostiles.

Bughunters are understandably fatalistic. They don’t have much to look forward to in life except another dangerous mission to another dangerous rock to tangle with another dangerous alien life form. Their real reward isn’t their paycheck but the gratitude of the colonists whose lives they save.

Savage Worlds Adventure Edition -Setting Rules (pg. -145)

:'''''Gritty Wounds''''': Whenever a Wild Card takes a Wound, roll on the '''''Injury Table''''' and apply the results immediately (but roll only once per incident regardless of how many Wounds are actually caused). A hero who takes two Wounds from an attack, for example, rolls once on the Injury Table.

:'''''Wealth''''': as characters are in the military that provide their basic gear and 'owning' certain items is not allowed the basic Wealth die of a d6 and used for personal items like cloths or maybe a conputure (not weapons). Generally cannot have Proverty or Rich edges in the game but some origins have bonuses.

 

:'''Arcane Background (Psionics)''': There are Psionics in this game along with the Psionic skill but this is very rare still. See notes below if a character wishes to play one.

===Character Creation===

From the introduction to the UTRPF Soldoir's Handbook of common Tasks:</br>

* '''Origin''': Draw a Card from a standard Playing Card Deck. This will get you your basic Donor's origin and determines the basics of what and where your points for things like Attributes, Skills, Edgea and Hindrances can be spent.  

* '''Assign Traits, Edges and Hindrances''': Based on your doner you determine your basic Traits, Skills, Edge(s) and Hindrances. This are limits in many cases to what skills you can take or Edges allowed and even Hindrances allowed. The points you spend on Hindrances are not limited in most cases BUT Edges must be Novice rank and skills that have a Donor Max listed must also be followed. No matter who or what your donor was you cannot have any Attributes bases less then d4 (before the cloning process).  

* '''Apply Cloning Processs Bonuses''': The process to creating super soldiers means that you gain a +1 step to Agility and +2 steps to your Strength and Vigor. Also add +1 to Toughness and Edges Alertness, Brawny and Strong Willed. Then gain a bonus Edge (see list)  

* '''Pick and MOS you Qualify for and Apply Bonuses''': After the clone process is done, newly 'born' synners are assigned a MOS based on their natural talents, skills and background. NOTE that their is one unusual MOS that is fairly uncommon etc. and that is Psionics specialist. This is extremely rare (and only a recent phenomenon discovered with the advent of space travel) so this Background Edge may only be taken by those Donors who have experienced space travel (Colonist or high ranking/rich folk who have been off world; ask your GM) or Clones who have unlocked this ability doing the cloning process. See the Cloning Process and Psionic Specialist under the MOS for more details.   

* '''Finishing Touches''': Name, rank, background story, etc. but also various affects and additonal details that can be added.

In order to qualify for the Cloning Process the Donor must report to a United Terran Donor Board to submit to multiple physical and metal interviews and tests. These review boards are only located on Earth, the Mars colony and the Alpha Centurior colony world of Ace-C-Two. Donors from other colonies or facilities would have had to traveled to one of the planets and stayed there a year to be able to donnate and so would have been restricted to certain backgrounds (those rich enough or access to transportation to do this). Work with the GM to see if its ok. </br>

2 of ♣ - '''Brainscan Failure!!!''': The standard brain scan of a doner's personality and skills somehow failed (probably reulting in the death of the doner themselves!!). The character was force-grow to '18ish' as all other clones are but was 'born' with the memories of a baby! They had to under go 1-2 years of intense and very advanced memory and personality comuter generation implants along with experimental subliminal and auto-muscle stimulance to learn to read and write, walk and talk, basic personality creation and coping skills. If these were successful in creation a basic personality for the clone then They then are submitted to the UTRPF Basic Training course (about a year on average). </br>

9-10 of ♣, ♦, ♥, ♠ - '''Under Employed/Unskilled Worker''': This could be a part-time worker or include such work as a Cashiers, Converient Store Clerks, Cleaning Crew, Waiters, Receptionist, Park Lot Attendents, etc. (still kind of rare as many of these jobs have been replaced by automated), are those few lucky (or unlucky depending) enough to have scored one of the few remaining positions in this field. Their jobs are dull but for some its better then sitting at home and watched VIDCOM all day. They often volunteer for the Donor process must for the same reasons that the unemployed do.</br>

==VEHICLES & STARSHIPS==

I am using the basic vehicle builds and Mods found in my Star Law setting here[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw#SFC_UPDATES] so no need to repeat myself. Vehicles and Starhips are going to be WELL out of the price range of characters and not really easy to transport to different planets so just ignore costs. In this setting also adding '''Statis Field Sleeping Pods''' as a Mod that can be added to both vehicles and starships (and found in a few medical facilities planet side). For 1 Mod and $50K the vessel can hold 8 passengers whom are keep in the statis pod, basically asleep for the whole jounry. They can be added any number of times up to the vessel's open Mod spaces. Each unit of 8 pods uses om Energy of the vessel per week that it is running.  

However one big change is that instead of '''Drill Spike Drive''' I am renaming them '''Isler Shuttlewar Drive'''. These drives work by creates a micro-hyperspace blink warp field that causes a ship to move at faster then light travel, as follows.

The Mod Entry should read as... A standard Shuttlewarp Drive allows a vessel to enter hyperspace and travel at fantastic speeds there. Each drive creates a Drive Speed of 1. In hyperspace a drive uses ¼ its Size (keep factors) x the Drives, in Energy points each day it remains within hyperspace. This includes both the drive and the astrogation system required to use it. Each 'Drive' adds a 1 to the base Drive Speed. See Shuttlewarp Speed for more information. 'Minimum size of a vessel to include a functioning drive is 10 but unmanned probs can go down to 6 in size and stll work. Each drive uses half the vessel's Size in Mods and the total price (if it matters which it does to UT Gov) is $500K x'Drives' x¼ ship's Size

A basic Shuttlewarp Drive has a Speed Rating of 1 per Drive and can travel at 1 lightyear a day Divided by the Ship's Size. So a Warpshuttle Drive 5 install into a Laviathan Starcraft makes around 0.2 light years a day, while the same drives in a Great Starship would make a half a lightyear a day.

Note also there is no stellar build up of pollutants in the Shuttlewarp drives. Ships can spend as long as they want. However they do a hour of cold down in normal space for every day spent in in hyperspace to reused it again.  

There is a complication of course (isn't there always?) and that is that traveling in hyperspace is harrazadous to a personal's physical and mental health.  

To plot a course in Shuttlewarp space requires a ''Science'' skill check with a penalty of -1 per 10 light years to the destination. Plotting a course takes a base one hour. Plotting a course is 20 minutes imposes a -2 penalty. Taking three hours adds +2 to the check. Advanced computers can grant a bonus (up to +2). A ship’s AI can plot or provide a Support roll. Most civilian ships plot a maximum course of 20 light years taking 3 hours to be on the safe side. Failure results in the shuttlewarp not engaging. Critical Failure damages the drive and requires 1d6 days of ''Repair'' and parts.
