House Rules

• Weapon Damage figures in the base book are a bit too high. The following are revised. Weapons are -2 to hit against armor that is 2 or more Tech Levels higher. Weapons ignore armor that is 2 or more Tech Levels lower.
  • Small low-tech weapons such as clubs, daggers, saps, etc. do 1d4.
  • Medium-sized one-handed low-tech weapons like swords or maces do 1d6.
  • Two-handed low-tech weapons such as greatswords do 1d8.
  • Primitive and Advanced bows still do 1d6.
  • Grenades do 2d6.
  • Kinesis Wraps, Stun Batons, and Suit Rippers are unchanged.
  • Dagger-sized monoblades do 1d6+1. Sword-sized monoblades do 1d8+1.
  • Firearms don't differ wildly in damage depending on their tech level. However, they do interact differently with armor and of course low-tech guns can't match a modern weapon's rate of fire, ammunition capacity, or in some cases reliability.
