Weapons
Weapons in Future Path are not static like in other Pen & Paper games. There isn't just a list of different weapons that you have to choose from and cannot branch off of. In Future Path you can choose a weapon from a list if you are in a hurry or simply don't feel particularly creative. However if your fav. side arm from real life isn't on the starting list feel free to create your own using the custom weapon rules set. The set is an attempt at being balanced while allowing for a large amount of melee and ranged weapons from both the past, present and future.
Below we will go over what makes up a Future Path Weapon and how to build your own customized weapon. How much damage it can deal. How much it will cost. How difficult it might be to purchase. And all sorts of other characteristics.
Weapon Categories
Weapons have multiple stats that change how effective they are in different engagements.
There are 3 categories of weapons in Future Path:
- Archaic
- Simple
- Exotic
- Archaic: is anything that is so old is it never really used except by people who love to mess with old type of stuff. Take for example the bow/arrow, an old style projectile weapon that appears simple at first glance but is actually difficult to master.
- Arcane weapons require the Arcane Weapon Proficiency Feat or you take a -4 and cannot use Ability/Affinity Die for hit checks. They also have a rare/antique price increase of x2 cost. There Procure Difficulty is increased by 1.
- Simple: weapons are weapons that are common place for your Character. They usually follow a standard design and are intuitive too use. Take for example a pistol or rifle. Both still require time to master but the basic principle of handle/trigger/end with hole point toward bad guy concept is common knowledge.
- Simple weapons require no feat to use without penalty, however you still cannot apply Affinity Die to a weapon you do not have a proficiency with.
- Exotic: are weapons that are notoriously difficult to get use too. They do not necessarily follow the simple model that most weapons follow and/or they have unique properties that make them less intuitive too use. The Flamethrower or Grenade Launcher are examples, and perhaps a Portal Gun as well.
- Exotic weapons like Arcane weapons require the Exotic Weapon Proficiency Feat or you take a disadvantage and cannot use Ability/Affinity Die for hit checks. They also have a price increase of x2 cost to represent their unique properties. There Procure Difficulty is increased by 1.
Future Path Weapon Tech Levels
Future Path is all about a fantasy universe similar to our own except with an alternate history. So of course we are going to have not only weapons from our past but also our present and all sorts of neat advanced weapons of the future. The Tech level system which co-insides with the Civilization Tech Level helps to categorize futuristic weapons. The higher the tech level the more advanced technology and science it took to make the weapon. It also means that it is more difficult and expensive to get your hands on it. It will also acquire a character to have the same tech level or higher to work on it. Upgrade it with newer gadgets and so on.
Weapons have a level limit depending on the tech level as tech levels also come with a price and a procure difficulty.
| Tech Levels | Level Limit/Max Hit Die | Extra Procure Diff |
|---|---|---|
| Tech Level 0 | 4 Levels / 1d10 | +1 |
| Tech Level 1 | 5 Levels / 1d12 | 0 |
| Tech Level 2 | 6 Levels / 2d8 | 0 |
| Tech Level 3 | 7 Levels / 2d10 | 0 |
| Tech Level 4 | 8 Levels / 2d12 | +1 |
Future Path Custom Weapons
Making rules for creating player made weapons has its advantages and disadvantages. The goal is to make as limitless a supply of weapons as the player's imaginations can handle. However this also means adding an extra level of complexity that players may not always appreciate. In order to compensation we have also made a table of weapons for both ranged and melee and low and high tech levels so you do not have to go create your own if you do not want too.
| Level | Hit Die | Avg. $ | Avg. Weight | Feat Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | 1d2 | $55 | 1lb | Simple |
| Level 1 | 1d4 | $220 | 1lb | Simple |
| Level 2 | 1d6 | $800 | 1lb | Simple |
| Level 3 | 1d8 | $1,750 | 10lb | Simple |
| Level 4 | 1d10 | $3,500 | 10lb | Advanced |
| Level 5 | 1d12 | $5,300 | 10lb | Advanced |
| Level 6 | 2d8 | $8,600 | 30lb | Advanced |
| Level 7 | 2d10 | $10,800 | 30lb | Heavy |
| Level 8 | 2d12 | $14,600 | 30lb | Heavy |
Another problem with weapon creation rules is that all weapons are made under equal rules. These means that in some cases a Future Path version of a real world weapon may not exactly represent its physical version. These rules are designed with game balance taking precedent over realism.
Now how do you create your own custom Future Path Weapon!? Here is a summary of steps to help.
- First imagine what type of weapon you actually want. To do that here are a few questions to help you.
- Is the weapon melee or ranged?
- Does the weapon have a real world equivalent?
- Is the weapon archaic in nature? Or perhaps Futuristic? Tech Level?
- Is there anything special about this weapon that makes it stand out among its peers.
- Is there a specific purpose or use for the weapon. IE: Hunting rifle, sniper rifle, urban warfare.
- Now take this weapon idea and try to ask what The power level and speed it has. See below in the Weapon Levels category.
- Now look at the Advance Customizations category to add future customize the weapon. Adjust its range or give it a special feature.
- From here look at options like special amo.
- Lastly there is Gadgets. Technically not part of the weapon itself Gadgets are another level of customization and improvements for any weapon.
Weapon Levels
Weapons have multiple attributes, but perhaps the must significant aspect is its hit die. Weapons have a hit die level as shown below. There are two different characteristics that can give a weapon its total Weapon Die level: its Size and its Speed (see below).

- 4 Power Levels:
- Small - 0 level point
- Medium - 1 level points
- Large - 2 level points
- Gigantic* - 3 level points
The Power level represents the Kinetic/Electric/Thermal/Chemical Energy of the Ammunition. For example, a bullet has Kinetic energy, and the size/speed of the bullet determines its energy. For a more futuristic weapon it could be Electric or Thermal energy instead of just Kinetic, or even a hybrid of different energy types. For an older weapon this would represent the blade size and how easy it is to apply the maximum amount of force. All Gigantic Size weapons are considered Exotic.
- 4 Speeds:
- Single Fire - 0 level points
- Manual - 1 level point
- Semi-Auto - 2 level points
- Fully Automatic - 3 level points
- Super Fast* - 4 level points
This is the speed or rate of fire of which a gun is capable. All Melee is considered Manual, whereas all Archaic ranged weapons are considered Single-Fire. There will be Feats/Talents that may help improve that stat. All Super Fast Speed weapons are considered Exotic.
Weapon Arch-Types
You can pick a style to follow. A shutgun or pistol. A Sniper rifle or DMR. You do not need to pick one of these. They are free attributes that your gun can take on. (You cannot have more then one weapon specialization attribute.) Further customization are shown below in the Advance Customizations section.
| Hunting Rifle: Any weapon declared as a Hunting Rifle can freely choose this Arch-Type. Disadvantages: The range cannot be higher then Large but also automatically gets Large range. The weapon cannot use special ammunition. And cannot customize damage types/bonus/DR. Gains the Two Handed default attribute. Advantages: Extra Use before reloading. Reduced cost -$150 and procure difficulty -1. Extra negative point to spend customizing. |
| Personal Firearm: This is basically a commercially available weapon for civilian self defense or hobbyist. Disadvantages: The range cannot be higher then Small but is also automatically given Small. The weapon cannot use special ammunition. And cannot customize damage bonus or DR. Advantages: Reduced cost -$150 and procure difficulty -1. Extra negative point to spend customizing. Removes the 'Two Handed' Default requirement if it applies. |
| Side Arm: This is a military grade pistol designed as a secondary weapon for troops in combat situations. Disadvantages: The range cannot be higher then Medium but is also automatically given Medium. The cost is increased by $100 and procure difficulty by +1. Advantages: The weapon gets a +1 bonus too accuracy and +1 to Base Damage. |
| Shotgun: Any weapon declared as a shotgun can freely choose this Arch-Type. Disadvantages: Pellet ammo will reduce the range of the weapon to 30ft. 31-60ft takes a double disadvantage to accuracy and looses two hit die level if the weapon still hits a target. The advantages however is that the weapon goes up a hit die level (if the tech level allows it) and a single accuracy roll is used to determine if all targets within the area of a 30ft cone starting at the character. To learn about cone areas in combat go here. For all targets that got hit they receive half damage unless they are hit within 10 feet then they take full damage. The Shotgun can also use slugs. With slug ammo the range increment is 'Small' or 100ft. The damage die is still up a level. The range penalty is also double. |
| Sniper Rifle: Any weapon declared as a sniper Rifle can freely choose this attribute. Disadvantages: The weapon cannot benefit from a speed higher then semi-auto. The weapon's procure difficulty is increased by 1 and its price is doubled. Advantages: The weapon's range is instantly tripled. The accuracy penalty for going over the weapon's range is decreased by half. The Crit Range is now increased by one. |
| Close Quarters Specialized Weapon: Any weapon considered to be designed especially for Urban warfare, especially indoors and close combat situations, can be freely gain this attribute. Disadvantages: The weapons range is reduced to 100ft. Your weapon is more likely to be considered illegal. The price of the weapon is also increased by $1000. Advantages: You gain the 'Fully Unload' ability. The Crit Multiplier is now increased by one. |
| Chemical Thrower(Flame Thrower): Any weapon that sprays weapons grade chemicals burning or otherwise. Disadvantages: The default damage type is Chemical and it can only be changed to Thermal. The range is down to -1 25ft. Max range is 75ft. So if you upgrade range to 'Small' it is 75ft instead of 100ft. Ammunition is halved and by default takes a full round action to reload. The damage die is reduced by one. Advantages: The weapon can be used to target an individual or a 5ft square. If the target is an enemy and they hit the damage is dealt but a 1d3 is also rolled (1d6 halved). This roll determines for how many rounds the damage will continue. This round of damage doesn't count as the first round. If the target is an area then the user doesn't have to roll for accuracy and can choose to keep spraying onto adjacent 5ft squares for each ammunition they have left. Any person that steps into the 5ft square that has been spared for the next 1d3 rounds gets damaged. If a critical is scored then roll 1d3 twice or the multiplier for Critical Damage (x2 thru x4). |
| DMR Specialized Weapon: Any weapon considered to be used for DMR. (Designated Marksmen Rifle). Disadvantages: Weapon cannot gain a 'Enhanced Combat Options' or 'Fully Unload'. Also the weapon is more likely to be considered illegal. The price of the weapon is also increased by $1000. Advantages: The weapon gains the 'Switch Firing Modes' ability. The weapon's ranged accuracy decreases by 1/2 now. |
| Assault Specialized Weapon: Any weapon considered to be designed specifically for general purpose military combat. (it couldn't be easily description as fitting any other specialization and it would have to be currently in use as a standard weapon of a military near the location its being sold(same planet/solar system). Disadvantages: The weapon is more likely to be considered illegal. The price of the weapon is also increased by $250. Advantages: In some places (depending on GM) the weapon due to is mass production may actually be cheaper. The player can choose between 'Enhanced Combat Options' ability or 'Switch Firing Modes'. |
| Light Machine Weapon: Any weapon that is considered to be used as a Support class weapon or light machine gun can freely choose this option. Disadvantage: The weapon is more likely illegal. The price is $1250 more. Amo mags cost twice as much. No 'Burst Fire' ability or 'Enhanced Combat Options' options. Has the 'clunky' attribute. Advantage: Gains the 'Suppressive Fire' ability. Triples the amount of uses each Mag has. Gains the 'Custom Ammunition' ability. |
| Melee Weapon: Any weapon that is expressly used for melee combat. Such as a club or sword can be considered the 'Melee Weapon' Arch Type. Disadvantage: The weapon cannot have a faster speed then manual and cannot take on any special attributes associated with firing a weapon or ranged combat. Advance: Can gain the versatile attribute with only one negative point instead of two. |
| Archaic Ranged Weapons: These are either old style ranged weapons or modern versions of them. Disadvantage: They cannot have a speed faster then 'Single-Fire' and the reload speed can never be increased. Advantage: They get a single customization point however that point cannot be spent on the following: Range/Accuracy Bonus/Bonus Damage/Reload Speed. |
| Specialized Attack Weapon: These are weapons that do no or little damage but there main purpose is to preform some technique on the enemy. The most common are Combat Techniques but Tech 2 and higher weapons can be used to preform techniques listed in the Techniques page. |
Weapon Cost
Each Customization Point spent on an Weapon increases the price of the weapon by 25% of the weapons base price round to the nearest $5. The base price is the price indicated by the Weapon Level + any price increase for Tech Level. This does not include the Procure Difficulty Price increase. This increase is added after all other price modifications are considered.
The table below shows all the base costs for all Weapon Levels for all Tech Levels for both Melee and Ranged. It also includes the customization point cost.

Advance Customization
There are more things that can be done too customize a weapon in Future Path. There are multiple characteristics and they can be effected positively and negatively.
To make changes a Player needs to spend Customizations points. Customization points are gained by Tech Level, Masterworked Level, and by taking negative attributes.
- Tech Level Customization Points: Your Tech Level determines how many customization points to start with. Tech level 0 you get 0 points to spend. Tech level 2 you get 2 points to spend.
- Master worked Customization Points: Each Masterworked level provides an additional point. +1 Masterwork provides 1 customization point. The maximum Masterwork level is 5.
- Earning Points by taking negative attributes: Taking a negative in a certain attribute earns you a Negative point. 2 Negative points can be turned into a Customization point. Some attributes you cannot take negatives in or they take more points to level up or provide more negative points. Each attribute should state any special cases if they apply.
Just like for Character in Future Path here there is a focus on bringing out the strengths and weaknesses of weapons. Weapons can either be plain/simple or be focused for a specific task with clear disadvantages and advantages.
Below all the attributes that can help you customize your weapon there is a list of "Weapon Arch-Types". You can view these options as a sort of template for different styles of weapons. However it is best to review all the options here to understand the arch-types better.
Attributes list (Not all apply to every weapon):
- Critical Range:
| The Crit Range of the Weapon |
|---|
| All weapons start with a default Crit range of just 20. Meaning that the only way to have a critical hit is if a natural Twenty is rolled when doing an accuracy check. The range can be increased. However the limit to how much it can be increased by is based on the weapon speed unless it is a Melee Weapon then the max crit range is 17-20. However for ranged weapons it's based on speed: Single Fire and Manual's Max is the default 20. Semi-Auto is 19-20. Full Auto is 18-20 and Super-Fast is 17-20. However these are the limit that a Crit range can be. Simply what a weapon can be brought to via customizations on the gun itself. Character options/gadgets/amo can adjust this further. This customization costs 1 customization point. The Player cannot take a negative in this Attribute. This instantly increases the cost of the weapon. 19-20 range is an additional $100. 18-20 + $250. 17-20 + $1000 and requires Master-worked status.
Default: The Crit of a ALL weapons is 20. |
- Critical Damage:
| The Crit Damage Multiplier |
|---|
| All weapons start with a default Crit multiplier of X2. However this can be increase to as high as X4. A limit is imposed by what Power Level the weapon is. Small and Medium are the default X2. Large is X3 and Gigantic is X4. 1 customization point is required to upgrade this. The Player cannot take a negative in this Attribute. This instantly increases the cost of the weapon. X3 is + 10%. X4 + 20%.
Default: All weapons have a crit of X2 normally. |
- Weight:
| The Weight and thus clumsiness of the gun. |
|---|
| The average weight of a weapon is determined by its Total Level/Hit Die. Levels 0 - 2/1lb, Levels 3 - 5/10lbs, Levels 6 - 8/30lbs. However if the weapon has taken the Gigantic power level then it automatically is a 30lb weapon and also takes the attribute "clunky" by default. You can choose to increase the weapon weight above 30lbs to an average 60lbs weight for a negative point which also then gives the "clunky" attribute by default. However if you weapon is of a lower weight you cannot increase the weight for a negative point unless you give the weapon the clunky attribute. You can also lower the weapon weight in order to help make easier to carry around. Remember a character can only carry a certain amount of weight around dependent on there STR Ability score.
Default: By default all weapons except for 'Gigantic' weapons weigh 30lbs or less. By default any weapon that ways more then 30lbs or is gigantic also has the 'clunky' attribute. |
- Range:
| The average distance before accuracy becomes a problem: |
|---|
| Distance of a weapon is first determined by the Power level of the weapon. If the range does not actually represent the gun then you can adjust. The table below shows the ranges for each power level. If you spend a point you can increase guns range as if it was the next highest power level. If you want the range higher then 'Gigantic' the rule is simply to times it by 3. You can also subtract the range to gain a point that can be spent else where.
Also any range 20ft or below is no longer considered range combat but a weapon with a 20ft or less reach. It is likely that you will not be able to get the weapon to exactly match its real world range. Possibly not even close. However please keep in mind that this limitation exists for all weapons created within the fictional game. You can also look at Weapon Arch Types to see if one of those fits the role. If the range exceeds your weapons range then you take a disadvantage. If it exceeds it by more then one range increment then you cannot hit the target. Default: The default range of the weapon is noted in the below table. |
| Effective Range as per Power Level: | |
|---|---|
| -1 | 25ft |
| 0 | 50ft |
| Small | 100ft |
| Medium | 300ft |
| Large | 900ft |
| Gigantic | 2700ft |
- Ammunition Amount:
| Number uses for you have to reload a magazine/clip. |
|---|
| This effects how many times a weapon is useable before the Character has to reload, which is usually a move action. This is not how many rounds are actually in a clip. But how many times the gun can be used (how many times a hit check can be rolled before a reload has to happen. This is useless for Single-Fire as it has to be reloaded after every use. You can not use this to increase Single-Fire status of the weapon. For Manual this does actually imply how many rounds are in a clip. The point is to decrease how ofter a release is required because that can cause your character to lose a turn otherwise used to move/shoot/deal damage.
Default: The weapon speed determines this Attribute. Manual/8 uses, Semi-Auto/7 uses, Full-Auto/6 uses, Super-Fast/3 uses. |
- Reload speed:
| A Move action (See Combat for more info). |
|---|
| All weapon reload speeds are the same. It requires a move action to preform. However spending a point in this Attribute will give your gun the 'swift reload' ability. Abilities cannot be used unless you have taken the weapon specialization feat for this weapon. However without the 'swift reload' ability you will have to take both weapon specialization and swift reload feat in order to reload this weapon as a free action. You can also choose to take a point away from this as a negative. This will give the weapon the 'clunky' attribute. This means it takes a full round action to reload the weapon and it will require both weapon specialization feat and swift reload feat just to reload this weapon as a move action and it will never be any faster then that.
Default: Reloading a weapon requires a Move/Standard action to preform. However this is not the only place that can be effected to improve this speed. There are items and/or feats. |
- Damage Type:
| The damage type of the weapon. |
|---|
| All ranged weapons can only change there damage type by changing AMO. If this option is used then the weapon has to be considered Melee. Which means the speed has to be Manual or Single-Fire. The damage type options are: Kinetic, Chemical, Electrical, Thermal. This can be selected more then once but only twice. The weapon becomes a hybrid of the two options. You cannot select this once and declare the item is a Hybrid of Kinetic and the other option. In order to be a hybrid Damage type this option has to be selected twice. 1 point per selection. A certain damage type can be selected twice. When done so The weapon is Thermal-Thermal or Kinetic-Kinetic. It cannot be a hybrid but if the target is weak against that damage type they take triple damage instead of double. Kinetic is both the most common damage type and the least common weakness so it stands that both the default damage type is Kinetic and it only takes 1 customization to make a weapon Kinetic-Kinetic.
Default: All weapons are considered Kinetic unless specified otherwise. |
- DR Damage:
| The weapon can now reduce some of the DR the target may have. |
|---|
| If the weapon has a "DRX" after the damage dice i.e: 1d6/DR2 then that means if the target has DR, it will absorb 2 less points. Normally DR on a Character allows them too absorb points of damage instead of it going toward there hit points. A DR of 2 would normally mean that if the enemy dealt 3 points of damage the Character would only take 1 point. However with DR2 on the weapon that means that it negates 2 of DR meaning that the Character would take the full 3 points of damage to there hit points. For every point spent you get 1 point of DR Damage. You cannot have Negative DR points. Which means you cannot take away from this.
Default: No weapon by default has DR Damage. |
- Hit Die Increase:
| The weapon can use a different level of hit die. |
|---|
| In order to increase the hit die of the weapon you have to spend 2 customization points. Each point worth 2 negative points. The weapon can only increase the hit die to a higher level within the allowed levels for the weapons Tech level. So if the weapon is a Tech 1 you cannot use it to go above 1d12. However you can reduce the weapon hit die and gain 3 negative points instead of 1.
Default: The Weapon simply has the hit die associated with its power level. For more information review the Weapon Level rules. |
- Masterwork Construction:
| Determines how well the weapon is constructed. |
|---|
| This is FREE. This attribute does not require spending a point to get. However Masterwork instantly doubles the price of the product and increases it difficulty to acquire by 2. The advantages to Masterwork construction however is that it unlocks the Accuracy, and Bonus Damage attributes of the weapon. You cannot add points (although you can take away) to Base/Bonus Damage without first declaring the weapon to be Masterwork.
Masterwork implies that the weapon was crafted with expert skill and care using the best possible parts/material even when unnecessary to make a working version. In other words: "Spared not expense". Default: By default no weapon is master worked. |
- Accuracy:
| The likelihood that the weapon will inflict some amount of lethal damage each time is used. |
|---|
| By default a weapon has not bonus to the accuracy check. To clarify you can review the Combat section. Summary: An accuracy check is a d20 + (Mods if applicable) against a targets AC score to see if the character was successful as scoring a damaging hit. For every point spent on Accuracy yields a + 1. There is a maximum of + 5 to accuracy. You cannot remove accuracy to gain negative points.
Default: There are no Accuracy bonuses for weapon. To gain access to this option the weapon must first be Master worked. |
- Bonus Damage:
| A bonus to the total of the Weapon Die roll. |
|---|
| Similar to Base Damage accept the bonus is added to the total of the roll. In order to get a point to spend on Bonus Damage you have to take 3 negative points instead of 2.
Example: 1d6(+1) would mean a range of 2 - 7. A roll of 2 would be 3. However a roll of 6 would be a 7. Default: A weapon has no bonus damage. To gain access to this customization the weapon must first be Master worked. |
- Bonus Ability:
| Gives the weapon an ability or special attribute. |
|---|
| There are two types of Bonus Abilities. First there is a table below that shows a list of extra special abilities that apply. Some abilities you get by default depending on what weapon levels the weapon has. Others you can choose from. The other Bonus Ability is a custom one. (Yes you can customize customizations) You can pick anything listed in this Attribute section and remove/add it by spending a point here. The extra bonus will count as an ability of the weapon. (Remember abilities can only be used, even if passive, if you have taken the weapon specialization feat for the weapon). If you take Base Damage you do not need Masterwork attribute if you do it as a Bonus Ability. If you take Bonus Damage you do not need to spend two points to gain a + 1. Just a single point.
Default: Normally stock weapons have no special abilities. |
| Table: Bonus Abilities. |
|---|
| Burst Fire: Any weapon that has a speed of fully auto can gain the burst fire feature. This gives them a +2 moderate advantage to accuracy on the first Attack. (Ranged only, Archaic weapons do not apply) (Cannot be used for extra attacks). |
| Switch Firing Modes: If the weapon speed is fully auto then this Attribute can be applied. The ability will allow the character to choose between Single-Auto or fully-auto. If single-auto the weapon hit damage goes down a hit die level. However it takes twice as many uses before requiring reloading and extra attacks do not have as much of an accuracy penalty. (Ranged only, Archaic weapons do not apply) |
| Fully Unload: This ability requires the gun have semi-auto or full-auto speeds. The clip must have more then 1/2 of its uses left. This requires a full round action. This also takes a -4 major disadvantage and the range of the weapon is halved. The character has a choice. Focus on a single target for rolling twice the number of hit die. Or selecting the number of targets in front of the character (180degrees of view in the direction the character is facing) that the gun has uses left and roll damage for each target using hit die of a lower level. (Ranged only, Archaic weapons do not apply) |
| Swift Reload: The gun is configured in a way to make it extremely easy to quickly remove and replace an emptied mag. Making the process seam almost completely effortless. This allows the player to reload as a swift action. (Ranged only, only Archaic weapons like crossbows) |
| Special Ammunition: Some guns have to be modified and handled carefully to be able to load any other amo except the one specifically designed for it. However exceptions can be made. This allows the character to be able to apply special amo to the weapon *if* the character has the necessary feat. (Actually not ranged only. Melee weapons can have this application as a representation of exotic materials used make the weapon more deadly. However taking this ability makes any melee weapon exotic) |
| Enhanced Combat Options: This is a vague ability that is used to describe a couple of different types of enhancements. There are a list of combat maneuvers a character can do. To read up on them please review Combat rules. This gives the weapon an ability bonus for these combat maneuvers if the weapon is used to assist in the maneuver. You can acquire this ability multiple times for different maneuvers or the same one. Each one provides a major +4 advantage to a maneuver. However the same rules for advantage stacking apply here. To review read the rules here. Also remember that abilities require the necessary feat for your weapon type to be usable. |
| Suppression Fire: This ability when declared requires a full round action. It takes twice the uses out of the gun. However creates a wall of bullets/lazers or other deadly things that the target will have to subject itself to in order to move. Giving the player an ranged attack of opportunity to *any* target moving through the suppression. The character also gains advantage to accuracy if the attack of opportunity occurs. If the target is in plain site when the Suppressive fire is declared the accuracy check doesn't happen until it is the targets turn. The target would have to teleport out of the line of fire to avoid a Ranged AoO. |
| Versatile: This ability is only for Melee weapons. This allows Medium sized Melee Weapons to be two handed and thus while being held in both hands gain the damage dice as if it was a Large weapon. This also allows Large weapons to be held with just one hand however there damage dice while being used with only one hand is as if they where medium weapons. This also works with Gigantic sized weapons as long as it doesn't have the 'clunky' default attribute. However this doesn't allow small weapons to gain any bonus from being held with two hands. |
| Throw-able Weapon: This attribute is only for melee weapons. This is a weapon that can be thrown. Its Speed must be Single-Fire. However it can also be used as a melee weapon. As a Melee weapon its speed is manual. With this weapon when using it as a Ranged weapon the user can add there Strength Modifier bonus to the attack damage. |
| Knock Out Blow: This bonus ability is for melee weapons only. This adds an effect of possibly knocking the target out if a critical hit is successful. The target must roll for a constitution save of DC14 or be unconscious for 1d4 rounds. |
- Default Attributes:
| Adjust the default attributes a weapon may inherit. |
|---|
| Below is a list of attributes that weapons will inherit under certain circumstances. For example if you pick your weapon to be Super-Fast the weapon instantly becomes exotic. You can remove the attribute that attribute by spending a point. However you cannot spend a point to gain an attribute or apply an attribute that may seam negative to count towards a customization point. You can *ONLY* remove default attributes inherited.
Default: Default Attributes are earned biased on there criteria. Certain attributes or power/speed levels may force a weapon to take on a Default Attribute. |
| Table: List of attributes that may apply to a weapon. |
|---|
| Archaic: This attribute CANNOT BE REVOKED. It is gained if the technology used is considered level 0. These kinda of weapons are only intuitive to people use are interested and practice with them. |
| Exotic: This attribute applies to any weapon that has the 'Super-Fast' Speed or 'Gigantic' Power level. Also if the weapon is deemed in anyway difficult to master or unintuitive to use. |
| Clunky: The weapon is over weight and reload speed is instantly slower. The weapon must also now be used via two handed only. Cannot even be fired without two hands. That doesn't mean you can fire it with one hand just with a penalty but that is *CANNOT* be used without both hands holding it. |
| Two-Handed: A requirement for any weapon Level 3 or higher. If a character attempts to use the weapon with only one hand they take disadvantage to accuracy. This Default Attribute can be removed and certain Arch-Types remove or add them by default such as Personal Firearm which removes it or Hunting Rifle which adds it. |
| Laser Based: This is an attribute much like an Arch-Type however it can be declared of any ranged weapon at construction. If the weapon is laser based it changes a few things. It automatically looses 1 Ammunition Amount. It also by default has Thermal as the Damage Type. |
| Plasma Based: This is an attribute much like an Arch-Type however it can be declared of any weapon at construction. If the weapon uses plasma it changes a few things. Firstly it cannot also be Laser Based. This item automatically looses 1 ammunition amount. The default damage type is also Thermal. If the weapon is ranged the range is reduced by one increment but the damage dice is increased by 1. |
| Gravity Based: If this attribute is taken no other 'Based' attribute can be taken. The weapon instantly becomes 3 times more expensive and has +2 to the procure diff. The weapon also gains an area of effect base attack. The radius is based on the weapon power level: Small 5ft, Medium 10ft, Large 15ft, Gigantic 30ft. The weapon also gets +1 DR and -1 to its ammunition amount. |

Ammunition
Ammunition cost is based on what the Weapon power level is. The price is based on how much it costs on average to buy enough for a full magazine of the weapon.
| Power Level | Avg. $ | Bonus $ for special amo |
|---|---|---|
| Small | $5 | + $10 |
| Medium | $10 | + $20 |
| Large | $15 | + $50 |
| Gigantic | $50 | + $100 |
There are different types of special amo. Not all weapons can use special amo. The use of special amo is a Weapon Ability. Special Amo can do a variety of things. The list below is different Special Amo types are available and there prices. Special Ammunition prices are calculated by adding the Special Amo price increase show in the above 'Ammunition Stats' chart and then adding the custom price associated below if it specifies.
| Damage Type Change: There are 4 damage types Ranged weapons can use. Kinetic/Electric/Thermal(Radiation)/Chemical. The default weapon damage type is Kinetic. |
| Bonus Damage: The amo is in someway changed to provide the most about of possible damage to the target. This can range from +1 point of damage to +5. The price is calculated by: Base Price + Bonus price + $10 * Bonus Damage amount = Cost. |
| Bonus Damage by Type: The amo packs an additional package of either Kinetic/Electric/Thermal(Radiation)/Chemical damage. The damage is determined by a dice roll. The Hit die level starts with 1d4 (Level 1) and goes as high has 1d10 (Level 4). The price is calculated by: Base Price + Bonus price + $20 * Hit Die Level = Cost. |
| Bonus Chance to do Damage: The amo is more likely to hit the target effectively. This requires a minimal of Tech Level 2 in order to craft and the likelihood of this appearing in a society that is Tech 1 or below is low. The bonus is applied to the accuracy check. It can go from +1 to +5. The price is calculated by: Base Price + Bonus price * Accuracy Check Bonus = Cost. |
| DR Bonus: The amo can shred through armor more effectively. Negating DR. The can go from -1 to Armor DR to -10. However anything past -5 requires Tech Level 2 or higher to craft. The price is calculated by: Base Price + (Bonus Price * the DR Bonus) = Cost. |
Explosives
These weapons explode or burst, dealing damage to individuals or objects within an area. The area can be either circular in nature or a cone shape.
Explosives can be thrown or set off in place, depending on the type of explosive device. Dynamite and hand grenades are examples of these weapons.
All explosives must be detonated. Some, such as grenades, include built-in detonators. (Pulling the pin on a grenade is a free action.) Others require timers or other devices to set them off. Detonators are covered in Weapon Accessories.
Explosives require no proficiency to use normally.
Thrown Explosives
Make a ranged attack against a 5ft square area. The accuracy check is against the squares AC. The AC is: 5 + Range Penalties. The Range Penalty is for ever 10ft after the first 10ft add an additional 5 AC. So 1 - 10ft would be +0, 11 - 20ft would be +5 and so on. The Character is able to add there Dex modifier too the ranged attack like normal. And for every 2 points in Str modifier a Character has the Character can extend the starting throwing range by another 10ft. So if a Character with a Str Mod of +2 and a Dex Mod of +2 attempts to through an explosive to a target 40ft away the target AC would be 15 and the Character would get a +2 to the accuracy roll.
When a Character throws the explosive he/she can either miss or hit.
- Hit: Individuals in the target square and all adjacent squares within the damage area are dealt damage.
- Miss:
- First, roll 1d8 to determine the miss direction of the throw. 1 - Falls short (straight line towards the thrower). 2 through 8 - Count around the target individual or grid intersection in a clockwise direction.
- Then, count a number of squares in the indicated direction equal to the number of range increments thrown. The thrown object lands that number of spaces away from the target.
- Finally, the item deals damage to all individuals in the square it lands in and in all adjacent squares.
Planted Explosives
A planted explosive is set in place, with a timer or fuse determining when it goes off. No attack roll is necessary to plant an explosive; the explosive sits where it is placed until it is moved or goes off. This is considered a Trap so rules for making traps apply. More rules on traps in the combat section.
When a planted explosive detonates, it deals its damage to all targets within the damage area of the weapon. The targets may make Reflex saves (DC varies according to the explosive type) for half damage.
For a the full list of Explosives with explanations go here. The type of explosive can be found no longer then the tech level shown in the table below. However a Tech level 1 explosive can also show up in any higher Tech level. If the description doesn't specify otherwise this simply increases the number of d6s use to determine damage by 1. The cost is also increased by %50 the base cost per Tech level.
Table Columns Details
Weapon: This column is the weapon name or basic type.
Damage: The damage dealt by the weapon expressed by Hit Die. Example: 1d6. There is also extra incremental damage that can happen for a certain amount of turns after hit by the weapon. For example extra chemical/thermal damage for 1d4 would be expressed like so: 1d6 +(1d4). Incremental damage is expressed in parentheses.
Damage Type: There are 4 damage types that weapons have. Kinetic/Electric/Thermal(Radiation)/Chemical.
Throw-able: This is either Yes or No. No means that the explosive can only ever be used if planted somewhere first. Yes means that the explosive can be used as a grenade or be customized by a Character with the correct skills as a planted explosive.
Range Increment: This is the range that the explosive has a damaging effect. It is the number of 5ft squares out of the target square that objects may receive damage.
Size: Tiny/Small/Med is the sizes. Anything Large would not be Throw-able. Med takes a -4 to accuracy.
Weight: This column gives the weapon's weight.
Procure Diff: Please review the rules for procure difficulty.
Cost: This is the purchase cost to acquire the weapon. This number reflects the base price and doesn't include any modifier for purchasing the weapon on the black market.
Please note that '?' and/or '-' means that extra rules may apply. The Weapon Column should have links to the weapon descriptions.

Melee/Martial Arts Combat
"I do not need a weapon. I am a weapon!" - Martial Artist... before being shot.
Combat with fists is a little different then traditional Melee weapons. However here are some rules for combat via "fist-a-cuffs". Also known as an unarmed strike.
First to determine the Hit Die we need to determine the Weapon Power and Speed. However with the organic body the faster one is the less likely they are to have body type for massive muscles and vice-a-verses. So the higher you are at one level the higher the limit is for the other level.
Unlike other Melee weapons a characters fists are not always manual. They are ranked based on the Characters Dexterity score.
- 10-13(0-1) : Single-Fire - No Limit
- 14-15(2) : Manual - No Limit
- 16 -17(3) : Semi-Auto - No Limit
- 18-19(4) : Fully-Auto - Large
- 20-21(5) : Super-Fast - Medium
The Power level of a Character's punch is based on the Strength Modifier.
- 10-15(0-2) : Small - No Limit
- 16-17(3) : Medium - Fully-Auto
- 18-19(4) : Large - Semi-Auto
- 20-21(5) : Gigantic - Manual
The Hit Die is the total of the two combined. Also the Character can add his Str Mod just as in any Melee attack. However the damage rolled is considered Non-lethal and still has to go through DR if there is anything. To review Non-lethal please visit the Combat page.
To convert the damage from Non-Lethal to Lethal the Character must wear gloves that can provide damage. Such as metal gloves or Powered Gloves. This will reduce the Hit die of the Character's punch by one level but convert the Damage to Lethal. So if a Character has a Str Mod of +2 and a Dex Mod of +3 His Non-Lethal damage would be 1d8+2. However if he wears metal gloves his Hit Die would be 1d6+2. If the Character's Non-lethal Hit Die Level is already Level 0 (1d2) it simply will not go any lower. So the lethal damage will also be 1d2.
- Exceptions
Alien races may have exceptions too this rule.
