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.

Notes page for The Cluster Falk


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.

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.

* Laser weapons, while about as damaging as projectile weapons, have far longer range and no recoil. They’re also capable of automatic fire without recoil penalties. Their power pack capacity is roughly equivalent to magazines in a projectile weapon.

** Plasma rifles fire single shots, but their plasma bolts spall on impact, creating a Kill Radius.
