BOWIE, GLITTERDOG

Bowie's pack had been rescued years before by the Captain. The Captain his Glitter Boy--Mercury--protected the pack, and the pack let Captain know if something was sneaking up on them. Over the years, the pack was lost, with only Bowie remaining. Even the Captain got too old for this. Before he retired, he handed Bowie the keys and told him he was a good boy. Bowie's going to make damn sure the rest of the world knows it too.

Glitter Boy Special Abilities Big and Shiny: Glitter Boys are immediately recognizable and often a priority target for heavy weaponry. They suffer −8 to Stealth rolls due to their glittering armored coating. At 10 feet tall and Size 3, Glitter Boys are big targets and man-sized opponents gain +2 to hit them. Glitter Boy Armor: Size 3, +18 M.D.C. Armor, Pace 10 (Run d10), Swim 6; half damage from lasers, life support (selfcontained breathing; immune to heat, cold, radiation, environmental toxins, and disease), full electronics suite (+2 Notice, night vision and thermal vision).

Digging In: Activating/deactivating the stabilization system is an action. Firing the Boom Gun without these measures knocks the Glitter Boy 2d6" back and prone, leaving the pilot Shaken. Once n, the Glitter Boy cannot move and can only fire to the front and sides (180 degrees). Digging in makes the Glitter Boy an easier target, attackers gain a +2 to attack rolls against the suit while dug in.

Sonic Boom: Anyone within a Large Burst Template who is not in environmentally sealed armor (or having similar protections) must make a Vigor check at −2; failure means they are Shaken, and a modified 1 on the Vigor die means they are stunned. Stunned beings are Incapacitated and must make a Vigor check each round to revive up to Shaken status (with a raise, they aren’t Shaken). Anyone in the area effect without serious ear protection is deaf for 1d6 minutes, suffering −2 to Notice checks.

Stand By to Fire: A Glitter Boy cannot move and fire its Boom Gun on the same round. This is why some carry other firearms as alternatives for when they need to move and shoot. Targeting Computer: The system offsets up to −2 Shooting penalties.

Laser Resistance: Glitter Boys take only half-damage from lasers. Life Support: In addition to selfcontained breathing, the suit makes Noble immune to extreme temperatures, radiation, poisons, and diseases. He is able to survive in the suit continuously for four weeks.

Glitter Boy Strength: When in the suit, Noble has a Strength of d12+4. Hand-to-Hand: The Glitter Boy’s powerful fists and feet do Str+d6, Mega Damage. Hero’s Journey: A number of bonuses, already figured in, come from Noble’s Hero’s Journey rolls. Heroic Legacy: A Glitter Boy pilot gets +2 Charisma. If a Glitter Boy is stolen, word passes quickly and the thief is targeted by Glitter Boy pilots across North America.

Dog Boy Special Abilities Keen Sense of Smell: Dog Boys have a great sense of smell, similar to their canine counterparts. They gain a +2 bonus on all Notice checks where smell could come into play, as well as +2 on all Tracking rolls. Natural Weapons: Dog Boys can bite for Str+d6 damage. Psychic Sense: Dog Boys have the inherent ability to detect arcana, interpreting it as a scent. They use the Notice skill (with their Keen Sense of Smell bonus) to detect the presence and location of any psychic or magic energies, beings, or items. They can also use the Tracking skill (also with the Keen Sense of Smell bonus) to follow a specific magical or psionic entity. This sense works to detect anything psychic, magic, or supernatural, including invisible and astral beings. Psychic Sense doesn’t work inside sealed armor or vehicles. Cybernetic implants also cause problems; every point of Strain imposes a −1 penalty when the Dog Boy uses his Psychic Sense (the CyberPsychic Alignment Edge can negate this penalty).

Weakness (Ley Line Hypersensitivity): Dog Boys lose their Psychic Sense when on or close (within 2" or 4 yards) of a ley line. Ley Line storms cause them a level of Fatigue from severe headaches and distress as if for a psychic (which does not stack if they have the Arcane Background), but their Fatigue requires an hour to recover after the storm ends.
