| − | + | The Viceroyalty of Benjamelio fits somewhere in the galactic eastern borders of the expanding Third Imperium, on the fringes of Solomani space towards the Hive Federation, among the many client states and pocket empires scattered through the region. Its status as a historical Viceroyalty of the Second Imperium is genuine, but that hardly measures up to its pretensions, which have been magnified in competition with the Priam Protectorate further south. | |
| − | Lamor | + | The so-called Water Wall of the three close water worlds (Leghansky, Lamor and Bevelind) forms a natural strategic barrier dividing the Viceroyalty's core worlds from its frontier. The three water worlds make excellent naval bases and fuel depots, relatively advanced but with small populations to defend. Besides, historically most threats to the Viceroyalty have come from that direction, rather than the core of the old Empire. |

| − | + | fuel costs for jumps is typically 0.1 M / Jn, where M is the tonnage of the chip | |
| − | + | so are 200 ton three Trader will consume 40 resource points for a 2 passing jump. | |
| − | |||
| + | a ship will almost always have fuel capacity for two times it's maximum jump capability. | ||
| + | ships can refuel for free from oceans or gas giants. however this requires a successful pilot roll and engineer role for processing the fuel. inhabited Worlds are unlikely to allow free use of their oceans, accept possibly ocean Worlds. | ||
| − | + | a ship can typically jump safely twice per month. ideally each jump requires a wheat down time and dry dog afterwards. pushing this rate requires a successful engineering role. if the role is failed the ship will start to take damage. | |
| − | + | docking fees for a ship are typically 0.01 M per week in resource points. | |

| + | Polyp Horror | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | STR 100 CON 100 DEX 15 INT 25 POW 30 | ||
| + | |||
| + | HP: 100 WP: 30 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Size Category: Very Large (target size bonus: +20%). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Movement: Polyps Horrors can move 10 meters/yards in a combat round on the ground [Medium speed]; 15 meters/yards while flying [Fast]. When moving across surfaces they leave behind characteristic colossal footprints comprising five circular toe marks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Armor: None (but see UNNNATURAL MATTER, below). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Vs. Lethal Damage: PARTIALLY NON-CORPOREAL — lethal attacks with a Lethality Rating < 15% cannot damage a Polyp at all. Such attacks with a higher rating do not destroy the Polyp but may yield Hit Point damage if they strike at a moment when the Polyp is corporeal. If the die roll made for the Lethal Damage was an odd number, the Polyp was insubstantial at the crucial moment and the attack passes through it; if the die roll was an even number the Polyp suffers Hit Point damage equal to the Lethality Rating. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Attacks | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tentacle Slash 60%, Lethality 50% (and KNOCK DOWN, see below). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Wind Blast 99%, see below. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Skills: Alertness 60%, Athletics 80%, Stealth 60%. | ||
| + | |||
| + | PENETRATING ATTACKS: All attacks made by a Polyp Horror ignore Armor entirely. | ||
| + | |||
| + | INVISIBILITY: Polyp Horrors can become invisible at will, changing from physical beings to vortices of air. While invisible, they are difficult to see and hit in combat, although their invisibility does not protect them from damage. Even while invisible, however, the Polyps continue to emit their characteristic whooshing and whistling noises, particularly while flying. | ||
| + | |||
| + | FLYING ABILITY: Polyp Horrors can move effortlessly through the air. | ||
| + | |||
| + | KNOCK DOWN: A successful physical attack from a Polyp Horror will usually result in the target being thrown to the ground. This can be avoided using a Dodge action. | ||
| + | |||
| + | UNNATURAL MATTER: A Polyp Horror is made of unnatural matter which absorbs most physical attacks without incurring significant damage. Any normal (nonLethal) attack that succeeds will yield a maximum of 1 HP of damage. Lethal attacks are also much less destructive than usual against a Polyp (see above). | ||
| + | |||
| + | WIND BLAST: Polyp Horrors can create a violent directional gust of wind and can use such blasts as combat attacks. Anyone struck by such a gust is likely to be physically dislodged and knocked to the ground. The wind blast from a Polyp doesn’t affect especially massive combatants and objects (those with size category Large or above) or those who have purposefully braced themselves in some way to avoid the gale. Polyps can, for example, use this power to propel smaller vehicles in combat. Anyone attempting to avoid being dislodged by a Polyp’s wind blast will require a successful Athletics test. Placing oneself in a position with significant cover from the wind may, at the GM’s discretion, provide a +20% or +40% bonus to this test. A wind blast attack usually has an Area of Effect of 3 yards/ meters. Because it is supernaturally created, the gust can strike at any distance so long as the Polyp can perceive the target. Damage created by a wind blast attack depends on the environment — if an individual falls from a height, they will suffer normal falling attack; if they are struck by (or into) a hard object they will likely suffer 1D8 or 1D10 damage. The GM should decide damage based on the specific situation. | ||
