Bay 12 Games Forum

Name - (This is your character's name. Warriors from all corners of the world come in search of the Tower; no name is uncommon.)
Background - (Your character's origin, motivation, and what brings them to the Tower.)
Description - (Your character's appearance, habits, and other defining characteristics.)

Statistics
Skill-at-arms - (Your character's skill with weapons. Piercing, bludgeoning, hacking, and slashing - all of it is done better with a touch of finesse. Aids in attacking and defending, as well as using demanding weapons.
Brawn - (Your character's overall toughness, necessary for taking hits, enduring physical strain, and wearing heavier armor.)
Focus - (Your character's patience and intuition. A focused character will benefit from steadier aim, better time management, superior awareness, and - for those with the talent for it - a stronger connection to the arcane.)
Conviction - (Your character's self-confidence and strength of will. Unwavering conviction will aid in swaying others with words, resisting the encroachment of doubts and fears, inspiring others, and - for the faithful - communing with the divine.)

You have 5 points to distribute among these stats, each point being a +1 to the result of rolls in that stat. You must have at least 1 brawn, and no more than 3 initial points in any one stat.

Wounds - (Value representative of the severity of the injuries your character has sustained, issued in increments of at least 0.25. Your character suffers from -1 to all rolls per 1 Wound, rounded down. If your Wounds value ever exceeds your Brawn, you die. Resting can at most round the Wounds value down to the nearest integer, while medical treatment is necessary for any further reduction. For example, if your character has 2.75 Wounds, resting can reduce this to no less than 2 Wounds.)
Arcana - (Value representative of the spiritual energy expended in the use of magic. If your Arcana value ever exceeds your Focus, your character begins to suffer from -1 to all rolls per 1 Arcana over their Focus. Additionally, critical spellcasting results - be they exceptionally positive or negative - may have unintended and potentially destructive side effects as your character fails to rein in their magic.)

Your Wounds value will always start at 0. Your Arcana value starts at 0 if you are capable of spellcasting, and if not, it is -1.

Inventory and Equipment
(This is where your stuff goes. The primary goal of most tower-delvers is to fill this up with valuables and get out of the Tower alive. Many items can be equipped, for various benefits or utilities. While you may only equip one item to your Right Hand, Left Hand, and Armor slots, you may wear up to 8 trinkets, adding slots as needed. You do not start with any items other than simple clothes - nothing carried into the Tower is kept.)

Right Hand -
Left Hand -
Armor -
Trinket -

(Any items not equipped can still be carried. Slotted items can only be used if equipped, while items that do not belong to a slot can be used at any time, at a limit of one item use per turn if in combat.)

Perks
(This is where your character's various talents, experiences and skills are recorded. The possible starting perks are shown below, along with their point value and required stats. You may select up to 8 points' worth of perks.)

Acrobat (1, requires at least 2 Focus or Skill-at-arms) - You are particularly adept at climbing, jumping, vaulting, and clambering. The first time in a turn a 1 is rolled for any such feat, it is instead rerolled.
Attuned (6, requires at least 2 Focus) - You are aware of the ebb and flow of the world's arcane current, and have the potential to tap into it. You may cast spells.
Caravan Hand (3) - Time spent working for a trade company has taught you a number of valuable lessons. You receive +1 to rolls when price haggling, looting, and foraging.
Devout (5, requires at least 2 Conviction) - With every crushing blow, a whispered prayer. Attacks with any weapon are rolled with Conviction rather than Skill-at-arms.
Dull (2, requires at least 2 Brawn) - Your senses are far from keen. Your increased pain threshold reduces the roll penalty from your Wounds value by 1, but also reduces your Focus by 1.
Hardy (2, requires at least 2 Brawn) - You are particularly resilient. Advantage to rolls against poisons and diseases.
Knight (6, requires at least 2 Skill-at-arms or Brawn) - Whether you are an errant knight or a non-inheriting child of a petty noble, you have received formal schooling in the knightly arts. You are literate, capable of administering medicine, and you may wear heavy armor. Additionally, either your Brawn or your Skill-at-arms is increased by 1.
Layman (4) - You have spent time as a tradesman, practicing your craft to the point of mastery. Pick your trade - it can be anything from carpenter to leather tanner to metalworker - and record it here. You have advantage to rolls while performing the related work. Additionally, your Brawn is increased by 1.
Monk (4, requires at least 2 Conviction) - During your time as a monk or a nun, you received extensive education in both ecclesiastic and lay subjects. You have advantage on Conviction rolls made out of combat. Additionally, you are literate, and may administer medicine.
Prophetic (6) - What the future holds is not entirely unknown to you. Voices, dreams, and symbols reveal glimpses of what is to come, either spontaneously or after purposeful divination.
Quick Hands (1, requires at least 2 Skill-at-arms) - You may switch your equipped Right and Left Hand items, even while in combat.
Scholar (2, requires at least 2 Focus) - You are well-versed in your field of study. Pick your domain of study - it can be anything from history to alchemy to philosophy - and record it here. You have advantage in rolls to recall knowledge of your specified field. Additionally, you are literate.
Silent (3) - The footsteps of a cat and the breathing of a mouse; in all things, you are quiet as a ghost. Enemies will never hear your movement, and have disadvantage on rolls to detect you.
Soldier (4, requires at least 1 Skill-at-arms) - You are endowed with a measure of battlefield experience. Your first roll in each combat is made with advantage if you fight with at least 1 ally in sight. Additionally, you may wear heavy armor.
Stubborn (4, requires at least 2 Brawn) - You just don't know when to quit. You do not immediately die when your Wounds value exceeds your Brawn, but rather have 1 turn during which you may act. Reducing your Wounds value below the death threshold during this turn will stop you from dying.
Surgeon (3) - You never received a formal education, but experience as a battlefield surgeon has taught you much about the human body. You may administer medicine.
Unshakeable (4, requires at least 2 Conviction) - Fear does not easily bloom in your heart. You have advantage when rolling against fear, and your reassuring presence allows allies to use your Conviction rather than their own when rolling against fear.

Spells
(This is where your character’s learned spells are recorded. Spells are like items, in the sense that they cannot be brought in from the outside world. All spells must be learned)

RTD d6 system. Plenty of modifiers, positive and negative, beget additional results from rolls below 1 and above 6.
0 and below - Abject failure. This is as bad as it gets.
1 - Critical failure. Anything that can go wrong, does. The more mundane the activity, the less severe the backfire.
2 - Normal failure. You may not accomplish your goal, but at least nothing goes wrong.
3 - Slight failure. A glancing blow, a second too slow, an inch off the mark - this is the territory of a very near miss.
4 - Partial success. You accomplish your goal, yet there is room for improvement.
5 - Success. Your effort is rewarded with an ideal outcome.
6 - Critical success. All things that could go right, do. Perhaps you are more successful than even you anticipated, bringing an unintended effect to your action.
7 and above - Absolute success. It gets no better than this - yet the potential for unwarranted consequences lurks in even the greatest of triumphs.

Rolling with advantage entails rolling twice and using the higher result, and rolling with disadvantage entails the opposite. If advantage would be granted multiple times, it does not stack - however, disadvantage does, with each additional disadvantage incurring another roll. Advantage and disadvantage cancel each other out.

Some rolls are made against something, rather than for it. For instance, when trying to attack an enemy, you are (usually) rolling your Skill-at-arms against their Armor, meaning that your Skill-at-arms is added to the result of your roll, while their Armor value is subtracted.

Simple actions that can reasonably be succeeded at without fail are not rolled for. Conversely, actions with an abnormally low chance of success and a very high degree of specificity are rolled for with disadvantage.

There are no maps or exact positions, but when in battle or travelling through the tower, everyone must either be in the front or back of their party. The effects are few and relatively straight-forward.

• Making attacks with ranged spells or weapons with the ranged property can be done from either the frontline or the backline, and can target either the enemy frontline or backline.
• Making attacks with standard melee weapons is usually done from the frontline, against the enemy frontline. It can be done from the backline or against the enemy backline, but this normally confers disadvantage.
• Melee fighters can attack the enemy backline without disadvantage if there are more enemies in the backline than the frontline.
• Melee fighters can attack from their own backline without disadvantage when using a weapon with the reach property.
• Anyone can move to either position at any time, even during combat, but be careful! Having more members of your group in the backline than in the frontline will render the backline vulnerable.
• These positions do not correlate to an exact physical space during combat, but a more general line of battle - moving around and interacting with the environment do not necessitate a change in position, but some actions, such as looting a fallen enemy during combat or rushing past a foe, can logically only be done from a frontline position.

The goal of most tower-delvers is to turn a profit. Gather as many of the Tower’s treasures as you can before making your escape or try to unravel its many secrets - the choice is yours.

Generally, a “successful” run constitutes a run in which your character gathers at least 10,000 crowns worth of treasure and escapes the Tower alive. Doing so will confer an additional starting perk point and add any perks your character gained in the Tower to the starting perks for all subsequently created characters, even those of other players.

While it would be ideal to allow everyone to participate at once, I am forced to limit us to having no more than 8 active characters at a time. New characters will enter the tower in groups of at least 2 as space opens up through the death or escape of previous characters. Waitlisting will be an option if necessary, and if I find it possible for myself to manage, I may remove the player cap after I get the hang of things.

The first group of characters will start once we have 4 or more players.

Here's a list of a few features that I hope to implement soon.

Dark spirits, which will join Darkwraiths during a siege and drop otherwise unattainable weapons.
A demon civilization, hailing from the ruins of Izalith and possessing a number of terrifying castes.
Mushroom folk who roam forests in the fashion of those who guarded Darkroot Garden, packing an extremely powerful punch.
Seperate raw files for the content from each game, so that one can only play content from one of the games rather than all of them.
The dark hand, a powerful weapon that also doubles as a shield.

also a better description

Setting - The Realm of Destiny, an accursed land where the insane and the foolhardy make their fortunes. It is the native land of a massive mythical beast that is only rumored to exist. After all, who can see it when it only leaves dead bodies in its wake?

Settings - The number of megabeasts created during world gen will be quadrupled.
Embark points will be increased drastically, but most of these extra points will be spent on jet stone only. Buildings and statues must be constructed out of jet if possible.
Minerals will be common. Night trolls will be extremely common.

Mods

Eldritch Creatures Pre-alpha (by yours truly) - Eldritch wights, tentacled humanoids with a thirst for blood, are a main race. They will be the main inhabitants of Deathtrap. Other eldritch horrors, ranging from arachnid monsters with pincers to winged mammal horrors, also roam the world. The "normal" megabeasts have all been deleted and replaced with one super fun megabeast, which will remain a secret. All of this has been tested extensively in fortress mode, legends mode, and the arena.

Minerals+ Beta (also by Rethi-Eli) - Over 20 new gems, 3 new weapons grade metals, 2 new decorative metals, and 6 stones, one of which is flux, have been added. All of the metals have been tested in the arena, and the other minerals are confirmed to show up in fortress mode.

Weapons+ Pre-alpha (Holy crap also by me) - 4 new weapons with unique properties. 2 swords, 1 spear, 1 crossbow type weapon that fires bolts. All of these have been tested in the arena. Elves will use rapiers, dwarves will use crossbow axes, and humans will use penetrator swords and penetrator spears.

All citizens will have all labors enabled.
All citizens are required to serve in the military.
Artwork not depicting burning, death, conquest, or any other violent imagery will be traded away.
War with elves is not to be avoided.
War with dwarves is not to be avoided.
War with humans is only instigated if necessary.
Artwork depicting the slaughter of elves will be prominently displayed.
Artwork depicting the slaughter of dwarves will be prominently displayed.
Artwork depicting the slaughter of humans will be placed in the rooms of nobles.
A skilled military is a must.
A skilled workforce is a secondary goal.
If metal is running low, war with dwarves will be instigated.
Elven caravans must be murdered ruthlessly if they bear no useful goods.
Caged prisoners will be executed in a mass sacrificial ritual.
Caged animals will be displayed in zoos if they are rare, and sacrificed to the Elder Gods if they are not.
Mandates issued by top-tier nobles cannot be ignored. Said nobles will only be executed if absolutely necessary (if they mandate unicorn bone tables, for example).
At least one above ground building must be built, preferably out of jet, the awesomest normal stone in DF.

No DFHack or Dwarf Therapist will be used. Period.

Create 3 temples devoted to bloodshed, death, disease, and blight.
Murder 3 scary megabeasts.
Survive 3 sieges.
Catch 3 thieves and babysnatchers, let 3 heads roll.
Get at least 3 military wights to talented in 3 combat skills

BREACH ULTRA SUPER FUN HFS-LAND AND SURVIVE WOOOOOOOOO

 
Eldritch wight nobles make excessive demands.
Eldritch wights love art like dwarves do booze.
There will be blood.
The new fun megabeasts are easily capable of taking down a demon or FB.
The crossbow axe is weaker than a normal crossbow in ranged combat but stronger at close range.
Rapiers only deal light damage, but they are incredibly quick. This makes them good parrying weapons.
Penetrator weapons are both slow and large enough that you can’t wield a shield with them, but they make up for this by tearing through armor, skin, muscle, and bone. The sad thing is that humans are the only race that get them.
If Deathtrap falls, it will be reclaimed! The thread shall live on!
I’m open to suggestions. Suggest away.

The rules for joining are simple.

Post on this thread, saying you'd like to join.

Choose an easy to read font color or effect.

If you've been nominated, state that you accept the nomination.

PM me with a description of your game and the mini-challenge you theorize. I'll gladly help if you require assistance. If we make a suitable arrangement, I'll announce that you're hosting and give the reins of destiny to you. That is, if you follow the rules below.

Your challenge must rely on skill, thought, problem-solving, or creativity. No blind luck stuff.

You must make sure to update as frequently as possible for the duration of your hosting.

Your challenge must run a minimum of 5 days and a max of 14. 8 to 12 is a fine number.

You mustn't propose a forum game that hasn't been created, is newly created, or has unclear rules and a chaotic turn system. If you want to host, you better be hosting with a damn good game (anything that isn't terrible)

You kill hostiles and proceed to the next objective. You'll receive objective info from RAPID HQ, which is your command center. This is pretty much your standard RTD, except the system is based on a d100 instead of a d6. You get points for completing objectives and killing certain enemies, and lose points when you die. Points are used to unlock certain weapons and classes. Different weapons are effective against different things, and each class has an ability that distinguishes it from the other classes.

Injuries and Death

You can get injured in a number of ways. Your limbs can be mangled beyond recognition by a stray grenade, your bones shattered by a long fall, your eyes burned to the point of being blind by a gout of flame. Here are the list of potential injuries that can affect you.

Missing/mangled/broken arm - You get a penalty to firing your weapon.

Missing/mangled/broken both arms - You can't fire your weapons, throw grenades, or do pretty much anything.

Bleeding - You're bleeding out.

Severely bleeding - You've been bleeding out for a while, and your wound has gone untreated. You're tired.

Blind - You're blind. You can't see anything.

Deaf - You're deaf.

Missing/mangled/broken leg - Penalty to movement.

Missing/mangled/broken both legs - Huge penalty to movement.

Burned - You've been burned. It hurts.

Severely burned - You've been severely burned. It really hurts.

Missing/mangled/broken fingers - You're missing some of your pointy bits. It's rather annoying.

Dead - You're dead.

Each injury has a penalty, with death obviously being the most severe. Some injuries, such as bleeding and burned, can be treated, while others, such as blindness, can't be. Most injuries lead to death if not treated soon enough. When you die, you lose 500 points, or all of your points if you have less. After the deduction is complete, you can spend any points you have accrued, change your weapons, class, and name, and respawn, rejoining your squad.

Abilities

You may have noticed that each class has an ability. These can be activated alongside standard actions every 10 rounds.

These are the different classes you can be. Classes that are locked must be unlocked with points. All classes start with a gas mask of your choice.

Assault Gunner - Assault Gunners are your standard soldier, armed with a machine gun and wearing light armor. They're balanced, making them a good choice for beginners. They start with your choice of any light machine gun, shotgun, assault rifle, or submachine-gun; light body armor, two incendiary grenades, and a handgun of their choice. Their skill, =Shred=, allows them to fire superheavy flesh-rending rounds from their primary weapon for a single round.

Heavy Gunner - Heavy Gunners are slow, but they tend to have powerful weapons and armor. They're tanks, soaking up damage and providing support for the rest of the squad. Heavy Gunners start with your choice of any machine gun, shotgun, grenade launcher, or heavy rifle; heavy body armor, two incendiary grenades, and a handgun of their choice. Their skill, =Shieldwall=, allows them to sustain a large number of attacks while taking minimal damage for one round of combat.

VIRON - VIRONS are specialized soldiers trained to take on the infected, and equipped in a likewise manner. They aren't particularly powerful against non-infected and armored foes, however, and lack defensive capabilities. They start with your choice of any one VIRON weapon, two V grenades, super light armor, and a handgun of their choice. Their skill, =Neutralize Infection=, allows them to cure themselves or an ally after being infected.

Medic (unlock for 500 points) - Medics are vulnerable to attack, but aid their fellow soldiers in a number of ways. They're lightly armed and have super light body armor, giving them high mobility. Medics start with one handgun of your choice, one medic tool of your choice, super light armor, and two grenades of your choice. Their skill, =Treat Wound=, allows them to remove the bleeding or burned status from one of their comrades, or themselves.

Recon (unlock for 1250 points) - The Recon soldier is trained in stealth, using darkness and silence to conceal themselves from enemies. They wear light armor, but gain bonuses to spot checks. Recon soldiers start with one silenced weapon or handgun of your choice, light armor, one grenade of your choice, and one melee weapon of your choice. Their skill, =Cloak=, allows them to become nigh undetectable for three rounds, allowing them to sneak up on enemies and strike with their melee weapon.

Sniper (unlock for 1250 points) - The sniper specializes in long-distance combat, picking off enemies one by one from behind cover. They only wear super light armor, but their weapons compensate for this by being extremely powerful. Snipers start with one Heavy Rifle or Sniper Rifle of their choice, super light armor, one cryo grenade, one grenade of their choice, and a handgun of their choice. Their skill, =Sharpshooter=, is passive, giving them a higher chance to get head shots and critical hits.

Drone pilot (unlock for 1500 points) - Drone pilots are specialist with unarmed aerial vehicles. They're lightly armed and armored, tending to use their drones for the actual combat. Drone pilots start with two drones of your choice (they cannot be the same kind of drone), super light armor of your choice, and one handgun of your choice. Their skill, =Launch Drone=, allows them to send a drone into flight and control it with a small handheld device. It can be used on their first turn, and has a seven turn cooldown instead of the normal 10.

RAPID Special Operations (unlock for 1500 points) - A specialized unit that provides a hybrid play style, consisting of a cross between the heavy and recon classes. RAPID Spec Ops troops wear heavy armor, carry three grenades of your choice, one Assault Rifle, Light Machne Gun, or Machine Gun of your choice, and one melee weapon of your choice. They have two skills: =CQC Maneuver 1=, in which they take a hostile target and use them as a shield, and =CQC Maneuver 2=, in which they use their melee weapon to instantly down a target, the only exclusion being "bosses".

Demolitionist (unlock for 1500 points) - The demolitionist is good with all things that make a big boom. He can wield any grenade launcher (including the VIRON one!) and carries no sidearm except a big bag o' grenades. The demolitionist starts with one Grenade Launcher of their choice, heavy armor, and eight of each grenade. The demolitionst's skill =Sticky Bomb=, allows them to hurl an adhesive explosive that sticks to its target, blowing up whatever it hits with a negligible chance of failure.

Engineer - Coming soon. Specializes in repair and land based support drones. A drone pilot's best friend.

Elite Assault, Heavy, and VIRON troops - Coming soon. More powerful versions of their initial unit with improved abilities.

Trap Setter - Has access to deadly caltrops, landmines, and can rig a makeshift trap out of nothing but a pointy stick and a tripwire. Not too effective in actual combat, though.

Mech Pilot - Coming soon. The ultimate endgame class, piloting super powerful mechanical shells with heavy weapons. Defenseless without their mechs, though.

Handguns
+Semi-automatic Light Pistol+ - The standard sidearm for RAPID soldiers, this weapon is quick to draw and quicker to fire, although it doesn't do much against anything that isn't soft flesh.

+Silenced Semi-auto Light Pistol+ (unlock for 500 points) - A silenced version of the standard handgun.

+TK-80+ (unlock for 250 points) - This handgun fires conical rounds that perform well against light armor.

+V-72+ (unlock for 500 points) - This VIRON-used handgun fires small darts containing a powerful antibody, making it powerful against the infected but useless against armored targets.

+Burst Pistol+ (unlock for 750 points) - This handgun sprays small bullets with extreme rapidity, at the cost of accuracy.

+Ripper+ (unlock for 1750 points) - A modified Burst Pistol, this handgun has greater accuracy and power than its predecessor.

+Heavy Machine Pistol+ (unlock for 2500 points) - This handgun isn't as powerful against flesh as a burst pistol, but its rounds are capable of tearing through standard body armor.

Shotguns

+Hivetech Shredder+ - This shotgun fires rather slowly and very inaccurately, but at close range, it packs a punch powerful enough to shred through tough armor.

+Tactical CR00+ (unlock for 750 points) - This semi-automatic shotgun has a tight spread and laser sighting, giving it better accuracy than a standard shotgun while still possessing potent armor-piercing capability.

+Scorpion+ (unlock for 1750 points) - This double-barreled monstrosity is as deadly as its namesake, firing bursts of freezing shrapnel at breakneck speed. It's ammunition is submerged in liquid nitrogen, causing wounds from the Scorpion to quickly lower body temperature. It's moderately effective against armor, but unarmored foes are helpless against it.

+Intracon Hephaestus+ (unlock for 3000 points) - This "shotgun" is actually more of a flamethrower, launching a spray of superheated plasticine at anything unfortunate enough to be in front of it. It will melt through non-heat resistant armor, and horribly wound anything that it doesn't kill.

Assault Rifles

+Haraldssen Repeater+ - The Haraldssen Repeater is the standard RAPID assault weapon. It has moderate power, rate of fire, accuracy, recoil, and range, making it an good choice for any situation. It's not very effective against heavy armor, unfortunately.

+Haraldssen Stealth Repeater+ (unlock for 750 points) - This is a silenced version of the Haraldssen Repeater.

+Hivetech Claw+ (unlock for 1000 points) - The Claw is more powerful than the Haraldssen Repeater, being able to pierce heavy armor consistently. It suffers from lowered accuracy, however.

+Apollo+ (unlock for 1750 points) - The Apollo is a powerful burst rifle that tears through the infected easily. It lets out a wide spray of bullets, reducing accuracy in return for increased suppressive power. It fares well against light armor, but has trouble piercing heavy armor.

+Hivetech Myrmidon+ (unlock for 3000 points) - The Hivetech Myrmidon is the latest in assault rifle technology, bringing together extreme accuracy with powerful conical rounds that tear through armor. It has laser sighting and a magnification scope, allowing for sniping. It fires in bursts, mowing down weaker targets and crippling larger ones.

Melee Weapons

+CQC Knife+ - A combat knife good in close quarters, capable of both slashing and stabbing.

+Intracon CQC Springknife+ (unlock for 750 points) - This knife is strapped to one's glove. Upon impact, a spring at the base of the knife uncoils, propelling the knife forward. To put it simply, this knife stabs things you punch.

+Katana+ (unlock for 1500 points) - Not exactly issued by the military, this weapon can be brought along if you feel like being a bit exorbitant. It's useless against heavy armor, but makes quick work of any unarmored foes unfortunate enough to fight you.

+Intracon Tech Hyksos 9+ (unlock for 1500 points) - This state-of-the-art combat knife is hooked, serrated, and made of sharpened graphene, combining toughness with low weight to allow for lightning quick strikes that devastate unarmored targets and have significant effect on armored ones. This weapon also gives a small bonus to rolls for stealth kills.

+Old Glory+ (unlock for 2500 points) - This weapon, named after the dissolved United States (now North American Federation) flag, is a true harbinger of death. A superheated vibrating combat knife that inflicts bleeding on anything unfortunate to be cut with it, Old Glory is capable of taking down almost any foe.

Heavy Rifles

+Hivetech Coalition Force Rifle+ - This rifle is moderately powerful, somewhat accurate, and relatively fast to fire. It has manageable recoil, and is overall a fair weapon at best.

+Intracon Tactical Rifle+ (unlock for 750 points) - This rifle makes up for its slow rate of fire and mediocre range with its powerful rounds and moderately high accuracy. It's heavier than most rifles, slightly impeding the user's mobility.

+Haraldssen Gauss Rifle+ (unlock for 1500 points) - This rifle fires bolts of energy at foes. It isn't particularly effective against the infected, but armored foes beware, as the Gauss Rifle can penetrate armor with ease.

+Hivetech Pulse Rifle+ (unlock for 2250 points) - This massive rifle impedes movement speed, but the bolts of plasma that it fires shred through cover, armor, and flesh. It's unwieldy and slow to fire, but few things can survive its potent blasts.

Sniper Rifles

+TP9+ - This rifle is slow to fire, but it's extremely accurate, allowing for long distance combat.

+Intracon Tactical Reaper+ (unlock for 1750 points) - This sniper rifle fires 10 rounds per minute, and has decent accuracy, stopping power, and range. It's a balanced weapon, perfect for mid-range combat. It's silenced, making no sound when fired, and has a powerful scope.

+Executioner+ (unlock for 3000 points) - This sniper rifle is extremely powerful, bringing down most targets with a single shot. It fires rather slowly, but is extremely accurate, has unmatched range, and punches through all but the toughest of materials. Its scope magnifies distant objects by twentyfold, allowing for precision shots to be made with ease.

Grenades

+Incendiary Grenade+ - This grenade explodes in a burst of fire.

+Cryo Grenade+ - This grenade explodes in a burst of freezing liquid nitrogen.

+V Grenade+ - This grenade explodes in a burst of anti-viral mist, making it potent against the infected.

+Flashbang+ This grenade explodes in a burst of bright light, blinding and stunning foes for a short period of time.

+Smoke Grenade+ - This grenade releases a stream of thick smoke, blinding foes for a long period of time. Watch out, though - the lingering smoke will also blind you.

+Poison Smoke Grenade+ - This grenade explodes is a burst of poisonous gas. While not particularly useful against the infected and enemies with gas masks, enemies wearing standard helmets and bioweapons are vulnerable to the deadly neurotoxin.

+Caltrop Grenade+ - This grenade explodes into sharp shrapnel, showering foes with pointy bits of metal. The sharp pieces of metal also linger around after detonation, impeding the movement of enemies without foot protection.


Light Machine Guns

+M70+ - This LMG fires cylindrical rounds quickly with low accuracy.

+Hivetech T90+ - This LMG fires conical rounds quickly with low accuracy.

+Haraldssen Auto+ (unlock for 750 points) - This LMG has a low rate of fire as far as machine guns go, but it's more powerful and accurate, allowing for precision shots.

+Helios+ (unlock for 2500 points) - This LMG quite literally fires bursts of flame, igniting anything nearby and melting enemies. It has limited range and accuracy, however.

+Hivetech T93+ (unlock for 2500 points) - This improved version of the T90 fires extremely heavy rounds at a fast rate of fire, giving it insanely high stopping power. It has heavy recoil and low accuracy, however.

+Wakizashi+ (unlock for 3500 points) - This LMG fires light rounds extremely quickly with a low accuracy penalty, making it suitable for combat from all distances. It has laser sighting, a suppressor, and a bayonet, making it very versatile.
 
Sub-machine Guns

+Moebel Model+ - This Swiss-engineered SMG fires quickly and accurately, but has little stopping power. It's the standard SMG used by RAPID soldiers.

+KIT Delta+ - This tactical SMG fires much faster than any other SMG, but has low accuracy.

+Hivetech SNAKE-44+ (unlock for 750 points) - This SMG is able to mow down enemies rather quickly, but suffers from having little power against armor.

+Intracon Stealth SMG+ (unlock for 1000 points) - This tactical SMG isn't very powerful, but it's silenced, allowing for the use of stealth.

+G6 Solar+ (unlock for 1750 points) - This solar-powered weapons fires concentrated blasts of energy at enemies, giving it unmatched accuracy when compared with other SMGs. It isn't very powerful, though, and is useless for stealth missions.

+Stalker+ (unlock for 3000 points) - This silenced SMG fires bursts of powerful ammo tailored for tearing through muscle and bone, giving it the stopping power of a shotgun combined with the fire rate of a machine gun.

Machine Guns

+Hivetech D22+ - This heavy machine gun is able to tear through enemies and armor at a close range, but its weight and inaccuracy make it a poor choice for long-distance combat.

+Intracon Anti-armor 44+ - This machine gun fires conical kevlar-piercing rounds, making it especially useful against armored foes. It's rather heavy and inaccurate, though.

+TZLOK+ (unlock for 1000 points) - This machine gun fires star shaped rounds, making it effective against both armor and flesh. It has a chance of inflicting bleeding upon a successful hit, but has very low accuracy.

+TP1.3+ (unlock for 1000 points) - This machine gun is rather portable when compared with other machine guns, and has moderately high accuracy. It's powerful against armored foes, but not as strong against the infected.

+Imp+ (unlock for 1750 points) - The Imp is a modified TP1.3 that shoots superheated rounds, making it much more effective against the infected.

+Chaingun+ (unlock for 3500 points) - To compensate for its extremely low accuracy, the chaingun has an unmatched rate of fire, and its heavy rounds make quick work of both armor and flesh. The logic behind the chaingun for long distance combat is simply that out of the 60 rounds per second fired, at least one might hit its mark. In close range combat, the chaingun is extremely powerful.

Grenade Launchers

+Intracon GLST+ (unlock for 1000 points) - This grenade launcher is inaccurate and extremely slow to fire, but its blasts are powerful against armored enemies and deal extreme damage.

+Intracon GLSN+ (unlock for 1500 points) - This grenade launcher is inaccurate and extremely slow to fire, but its blasts are powerful against armored enemies and deal extreme damage. It also shreds nearby unarmored enemies with a blast of shrapnel.

+Intracon Mephistopheles+ (unlock for 3000 points) - This RPG has napalm projectiles. It's the single most powerful weapon in the game. It has decent accuracy, a wide area of effect, and fires caused by it will burn much hotter than regular flames. It's even heavier than the chaingun, however, and very slow to fire, taking up to a whole round just to reload. If you make your shots count, this weapon can be more powerful than even the strongest of mechs.

VIRON Weapons

+Venus+ - The Venus SMG fires hollow rounds that contain an anti-viral solution inside. Once they hit their mark, they explode, releasing the anti-viral solution into the target's bloodstream.

+Vengeance+ - This is a CQC knife coated in anti-viral substance, making it doubly effective against the infected. It deals lots of damage, and the range isn't a problem, since the infected generally don't use firearms.

+Vindicator+ (unlock for 750 points) - The Vindicator sprays an anti-viral mist at foes, coating them in the substance. It's useless against armored and uninfected foes, but the infected are very susceptible to it.

+Vampire+ (unlock for 750 points) - The Vampire is a long syringe filled with anti-viral solution. Stick it in the infected, inject some solution, and watch them go down.

+Vixen+ (unlock for 1000 points) - This grenade launcher fires shells that explode in anti-viral mist. While slow, it can take down huge hordes of the infected with ease.

+Valkyrie+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This modified Intracon Hephaestus fires shrapnel coated in anti-viral solution, making it extra potent against the infected, although not as powerful against armored and uninfected targets.

+Viking+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This sniper rifle fires rounds filled with extra-potent anti-viral solution. It has a nifty scope and laser sighting. It can drop most zombies in a single shot.

+Victory+ (unlock for 3500 points) - This LMG is exactly the same as the Wakizashi, except it fires rounds filled with anti-viral solution, making it less effective against armor and uninfected targets, but much stringer against the infected.

Medic Tools

+Hypo gun+ - This gun carries a chemical that activates the adrenal glands. When you inject yourself or an ally with it, their senses heighten and their pain tolerance increases, making them better at aiming, running, and sneaking. Can be used 5 times.

+First aid kit+ - Can cure yourself or an ally of bleeding or a burn. Can be used once.

+Mark II Hypo gun+ (unlock for 1000 points) - A hypo gun that can be used twice.

+Enhanced first aid kit+ (unlock for 1000 points) - A first aid kit, but useable twice.

+Prosthesis kit+ (unlock for 2500 points) - Replace a missing limb on yourself or an ally. Can be used once.

Drones

+Intracon Tech LTZ Scout+ - This unarmed drone has a powerful magnifying camera and is outfitted with a single flash grenade, which it can drop easily. Its light weight and small size allows it to access almost any area, making it a great tool for reconnaissance.

+Intracon Tech LTZ Strafer+ - This lightly armed drone is outfitted with a flash grenade and a small turret that fires light rounds, roughly equivalent to those fired by a handgun. It's small and fast, making it a hard target to hit, but lacks the capability to pierce heavy armor with consistency.

+Intracon Tech HTZ Strafer+ (unlock for 750 points) - This version of the Strafer offers greater firepower, firing projectiles with the power of an assault rifle, but is slower, making it an easier target. It also carries a single incendiary grenade, whom can be dropped at any time.

+Intracon Tech R71+ (unlock for 1250 points) - This scouting drone has all of the features of the LTZ Scout, packs a small turret like that on the LTZ Strafer, and carries two cryo grenades. It's small, but a bit on the slow side.

+RAPID Spec Ops D1+ (unlock for 1750 points) - This heavy drone packs a single barrel light machine gun, giving it heavy firepower. It doesn't carry any grenades, and is large but fast.

+Intracon Tech Erebus+ (unlock for 3000 points) - This light drone is the ultimate sheath machine, possessing cloaking technology, a silenced SMG turret, two cryo grenades, and a camera with infrared vision. It's extremely fast and silent.

Helmets
+RAPID Gas Mask+ - A simple gas mask with red tinted eyes. Standard for RAPID soldiers.

+Intracon TRA+ (unlock for 500 points) - The Intracon Tactical Respiration Aid is a heavy gas mask that weighs more than the standard gas mask, but provides more protection.

+Haraldssen Mark II+ (unlock for 750 points) - This gas mask combines a lightweight air purification chamber with solid protection, but is less durable than most other gas masks.

+RAPID Spec Ops Recon Mask+ (unlock for 1500 points) - This mask has high powered vision magnification tech, as well as heat vision, allowing its user to detect enemies from afar. It doesn't offer much in the way of protection, however.

+RAPID Spec Ops Assault Mask+ (unlock for 1500 points) - This gas mask gives more protection than any other gas mask, but weighs quite a bit. It has infrared vision.

Super Light Armor

+SL Kevlar+ - Standard super light body armor for RAPID soldiers.

+Hivetech Lite+ (unlock for 1000 points) - Offers similar protection to SL Kevlar, but allows for increased mobility.

+RAPID Spec Ops Recon Body Armor+ (unlock for 2000 points) - Very light camouflaged armor with padded joints to muffle movement sounds and increase mobility. Offers decent protection from both firearms and the infected. Very good for those looking for stealth.

+Intracon Tech Carbon+ (unlock for 2000 points) - While it doesn't offer as much stealth or mobility as RAPID Spec Ops Recon Body Armor, this body armor compensates with increased protection without weighing much.

Light Armor

+L Kevlar+ - Standard light body armor for RAPID soldiers.

+RAPID Assault Armor+ (unlock for 1000 points) - RAPID Assault Armor is a recently developed body armor that gives more protection than the standard Light Kevlar, but weighs more and reduces mobility slightly.

+RAPID Spec Ops Standard Body Armor+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This "light" armor is actually rather heavy, but provides a lot more defense than most light armor while still weighing less than the standard heavy armor, making it a good choice for those who fight defensively.

+Intracon Tech Tactical Light+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This camouflaged armor gives the best in mobility and stealth, while not being too lax of defense. It's a bit on the heavy side, but still light enough to not heavily impact movement, making it a good choice for offensive maneuvers.

Heavy Armor

+H Kevlar+ - Standard heavy armor for RAPID soldiers.

+SH Kevlar+ (unlock for 1000 points) - Even heavier Kevlar armor, providing nearly unmatched protection. It inhibits mobility quite a bit, but the protection it provides compensates for the loss,

+RAPID Spec Ops Heavy+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This armor provides just as much protection as SH Kevlar while weighing considerably less. It's still quite heavy, but its defense is unmatched. For defensive builds.

+Intracon Tech GHeavy+ (unlock for 2000 points) - This armor, made mostly of extremely tough graphene, is the lightest of the heavy armors. Its relatively low weight allows users to carry extremely heavy weapons with less of a mobility penalty, while still providing tough protection on par with that of H Kevlar. Good for offensive builds.

Handgun Expert (unlock for 750 points) - You can fire your handgun with one hand, allowing for you to use it without penalty when one of your arms is missing/mangled/broken.

Brawler (unlock for 500 points) - Bonus damage in unarmed melee combat.

Endurance I (unlock for 500 points) - Reduces movement penalties incurred by heavy gear.
Endurance II (unlock for 1000 points, prerequisite: Endurance I) - Greatly reduces movement penalties incurred by heavy gear.

Marksman I (unlock for 500 points) - Slightly increases accuracy.
Marksman II (unlock for 1000 points, prerequisite: Marksman I) - Further improves accuracy.
Marksman III (unlock for 1500 points, prerequisite: Marksman II) - Even further improves accuracy.

Eagle Eye I (unlock for 500 points, prerequisite: Marksman I) - Increases critical hit chance.
Eagle Eye II (unlock for 1000 points, prerequisites: Marksman II, Eagle Eye I) - Further increases critical hit chance.

Surveillance (unlock for 1000 points) - Increases chance of spotting enemies, double effectivity if player class is Recon.

Versatility (unlock for 7000 points) - You can use any kind of weapon as any kind of class. Have fun.

Ability Master I (unlock for 750 points) - Your abilities have 9 rounds of cooldown instead of the normal 10.
Ability Master II (unlock for 1250 points, prerequisites: Ability Master I, Endurance I) - Your abilities have 8 rounds of cooldown instead of 9, and are slightly more effective.

β-007 squad

• Kill the survivors!

Basic Zombie - These unintelligent brutes are your classic zombie - slow, but a sonofabitch to take down. They receive a minus 20 penalty to all rolls, and tend to be weak to weapons that are good against unarmored foes.

Hivetech Soldier - These soldiers, grown in biogel rather than actually born, have basic equipment and have little to no training. They lack morale or dedication to their cause, and are likely to flee without a commanding officer. They wear light armor, and wield either Hivetech Shredders or Hivetech D-22s.

Hivetech Captain - These Hivetech Soldiers manage squads of three to six Hivetech Soldiers. They have slightly better training and armor than their subordinates, making them a slight challenge for those who are unprepared.

Hivetech Heavy Soldier - These Hivetech soldiers wear heavy armor and wield heavy rifles, making them marginally more deadly than the standard Hivetech soldier.

RAPID B03 - This bioweapon resembles a cross between a giant snake and a spider, being 4 feet tall and about 7 feet long, and covered in chitin. It's not particularly deadly for a bio weapon, and rather slow, but the same chitinous hide that slows it down also gives it good protection.

RAPID Z09 - This bioweapon is a humanoid covered in scales, towering 14 feet tall. It has huge deadly claws and herculean strength, making it deadly. If you're able to keep your distance from these, however, they pose little threat when fought with precaution.

Heavy Gunners benefit greatly from the Endurance skill, due to the weight of their body armor and weapons.

Medics would do well to stay behind their comrades, due to their lack of armor.

Heavy weapons can be used to bludgeon enemies in melee.

The infected can appear to be dead for a time, but actually be alive. A bullet to the head of what you think is a downed enemy can be beneficial in the long run.

The Assault Gunner's =Shred= skill is particularly useful against unarmored foes.

Bleeding enemies may attract the infected.

If you're infected, any serious injuries you sustain will hasten the infection process.

The ideal squad is composed of three front-line fighters and two support soldiers, but experimentation is encouraged.

Trying out new classes may help in certain scenarios. It might seem like a waste of points, but it can help in many situations.

Most VIRON weapons actually deal a small amount of damage to uninfected foes.

Handguns are more useful than you may think. If you're pinned down, disarmed, or not able to use one arm, they might save your life.

The M-virus causes rapid mutation in its hosts. The longer a zombie has been infected, the more mutations it will have.

A number of bio weapons, powerful organisms genetically engineered for war, were developed on Titan by RAPID scientists. One can only hope that they weren't infected.

A number of private arms contractors, including the arms manufacturing giant Hivetech, have sent soldiers to Titan to seize the sample. You may have to neutralize them.
