Starfinder: A.C.E Powered Armor
Converted from the venerable Terminator 2029 computer game, the ACE power armor, ready to integrate into your Starfinder game!
Skirmisher Publishing’s team members are moving toward completion of the Platinum Edition of City Builder: A Guide to Designing Communities and are excited to tell you about the major milestone we just achieved for it!
* We are currently finishing the last two custom images that will appear in the complete, 85-place version of City Builder and doing a final proof of it, which means we should be able to provide the PDF edition of it to backers within the next two weeks! After that we will submit the book to DriveThruRPG and go through its print approval process, which usually takes one to two weeks, and when that is completed we will immediately make the print edition of the book available to backers who will be receiving it as a reward.
* We have just incorporated into City Builder the last of the 15 new places we unlocked as Stretch Goals during the Kickstarter campaign for this project and released at DriveThruRPG the final incremental volume, "Shrines, Temples, Cemeteries & Other Religious Places (City Builder Volume 9)," corresponding to a chapter in it.
++ "Shrines, Temples, Cemeteries & Other Religious Places (City Builder Volume 9)" now includes new entries on Hermitages and Pilgrimage Trails, in addition to the existing and now-revised entries on Cemeteries/Graveyards, Monasteries/Convents, Shrines, and Temples. It also includes all new illustrations, including a cover image by fantasy artist Amanda Kahl; at least two adventure hooks for each sort of place; and three sidebars that can be used to help customize religious places like temples.
* Please be sure to let us know if you catch any typos or other minor errors in any of the individual volumes or the interim version of the consolidated book! We are in the process of giving all the text a thorough review but there are now more than 120,000 words associated with this publication and we don’t want anything to slip through into the print edition. If you catch anything and email it to us at CityBuilder@skirmisher.com we will gladly thank you by sending you copies of some of our other publications as a sign of appreciation.
That’s it for now! We sincerely hope you are excited as we are that we have moved this project to the point it is at and with the efforts we have made to steadily move rewards into the hands of its backers.

Note that if a target’s ranks in a skill reach zero, they cannot use that skill until either the creature is killed, or 48 hours has past.

Krogan
Racial Traits
Ability Adjustments: +4 str, -2 dex, +2 con, -2 wis
Hit Points: 6
Size and Type: Medium humanoid with the Krogan subtype
Acute vision: Due to the set of their eyes, and having evolved on a planet which has an overabundance of deadly predators, Krogan gain a +2 racial bonus to perception (vision).
Blood Rage: The Krogan can cause a chemical trigger in their brains, causing them to go into a berserker rage. This requires 1 resolve point, and can then the Krogan must rest to regain stamina before using this again. While in this state, they suffer a -4 to both EAC and KAC and are completely immune to any type of effect, such as sleep, paralysis, fatigue, and so forth. They also gain a bonus to hit equal to 1+1 per five levels (so +1 at level 1-4, then +2 at 5, +3 at 10, and +4 at 15 and finally +5 at 20). Furthermore, if they are using any type of melee weapon, they gain an additional bonus to damage equal to half their level (which stacks with class bonuses). This Blood rage will last for a number of rounds equal to the Krogan’s level, and one it ends, then any effects that they gained during the rage will come into effect. Even if no effects were gained, the Krogan is considered to be fatigued until they rest and regain stamina.
Built-in food and water reservoirs: Due to the hump, Krogans can go without water for 3 days plus a number of hours equal to twice his Constitution score, before possibly taking damage. Likewise a Krogan can go 9 days without food before possibly taking damage. See the core book for further details.
Heavy Scales: Thanks to the thickness of their scales and flesh, the Krogan gain a racial bonus of +2 to KAC, which stacks with most types of armor.
Natural Weaponry: Krogans have claws on their hands and feet that can be used in combat. The claws do 1d3+Str damage. The natural weapons cannot be sundered or disarmed.
Resilient: Unlike many other species, Krogan tend to have multiple organs. As such when they are hit by the ‘wound’ critical effect, ignore the vital organ critical, and they gain a +2 racial saving throw to any effect or spell-like ability or spell that would affect organs.
Toxin Resistance: Having spent many generations living on an irradiated planet, hostile environments and toxins used by many of the predators on the home world, the Krogan have built up a natural resistance. They gain a +4 racial bonus to saving throws involving poisons, radiation, and other similar toxins.
Geth
Racial Traits
Ability Adjustments: +2 str, +2 dex, -2 wis.
Hit Points: 6
Size and Type: Medium construct with the Geth and technological subtype
Constructed: Geth gain darkvision 60 ft. and low-light vision, and gain a +2 racial bonus to saving throws against disease, mind-affecting effects, and poison. They are immune to sleep. Like Androids, they do not breathe or suffer the effects of hard vacuum.
Cybernetic compatibility: Typically only one cybernetic or biotech enhancement can be added to a specific location, but thanks to their artificial nature, Geth can choose an additional location (skin, arms, spine, etc.) and have two augmentations instead of the usual one in that location.
Electrical Vulnerability: Geth, being constructs, are more vulnerable to electrical-based attacks. As such they suffer a -2 penalty to any saving throw involving electrical-based attacks, and +1 per dice damage inflicted.
Emotionally Stunted: Geth still have difficulty understanding basic emotions, and as such they suffer a -2 to sense motive and bluff checks. On the other hand, they gain a +2 racial bonus when attempting to intimidate.
Natural Engineers: Considering the Geth are artificial life-forms, they automatically gain a +2 racial bonus to both engineering and computers.
Networked Intelligence: This ability acts like the Telepathy spell, but can only work on other Geth. The range is increased to 1 mile. There is no limit to the number of Geth than can be linked into this, as long as each Geth spends 1 resolve point to use join. The duration is limited to 24 hours, at which time the Geth involved will need to spend a resolve to remain in the Network.
Resistant: Thanks to their outer shell, Geth gain a natural DR of 5 against piercing and slashing attacks.
Shared Skills: As long as the Geth are connected via networked intelligence, they can ‘lend’ a skill to another Geth. This is a full round action, and they can transfer a number of skill ranks up to the receivers maximum level. For example, a Geth with medicine could transfer this skill to another Geth without it. The receiver is level 7, while the sender is level 12, and has 12 ranks. The sender can transfer a maximum of 7 ranks to the receiver. This transfer will remain in effect for a maximum of 1 hour, and the two Geth do not have to be near one another.

Solider Fighting Style: Ranger
The Ranger is split into two categories, each having their own strengths. Both are fully capable of moving stealthily allowing them while engaging enemies at close range. One specializes in small arms, the other in melee weapons. As stated there are two versions to choose from – the scout, or close quarters assault.
Scout
The scout operates very much like an operative, relying heavily on stealth to get up close and personal, or for, as the name suggests, scouting. As such, they gain Stealth as a class skill (while giving up intimidate).
1st Level ability
Phantom (Ex)
Whenever the ranger fails a stealth roll, by spending a resolve point, they are able to re-roll their stealth check. This can only be done once, and then the scout must rest for 10 minutes to regain stamina before using it again.
5th level ability
Shadowstrike (Ex)
As a full round action, and by spending a resolve point, the scout gains a +2 circumstance bonus to hit and can critically strike a foe on a 19-20. Furthermore, the scout only suffers a -10 penalty when attacking from hiding.
9th level ability
Conceal (Ex)
Using a standard action, the scout is able to ‘disappear’, as long as the light is dim or worse. The scout must make a successful stealth roll, and if it succeeds, then the scout is invisible (as per spell) for a number of rounds equal to 10 plus half the scouts level.
13th level ability (choose one of the two following)
Implacable (Ex)
If the scout successfully kills a target, then they are allowed to take an immediate move action.
Hunker Down (Ex)
If the scout did not attack this round, they are allowed to make a stealth roll. If it succeeds, they are considered to be concealed until they move or are somehow revealed. By spending a resolve point, the scout can forego making a stealth roll.
17th level ability
Rapid Fire (Ex)
The scout is able to fire multiple times per round, with only half the normal penalty (this stacks with various feats). Note pistols with the Unwieldy special cannot be used with this ability.
Assault
1st Level ability
Blademaster (Ex)
As long as the Ranger is using a blade, they gain circumstance bonus damage with the weapon in question equal to half the rangers level.
5th level ability
Shadowstep (Ex)
After making a successful melee attack, the ranger can spend a resolve point in order to attempt to make a stealth check (as long as the light is dim or worse), and gains a free movement action.
9th level ability
Run and gun (Ex)
The ranger gains the feat shot on the run. If the ranger already possesses this feat, then the ranger can choose a new combat feat in its stead.
13th level ability (choose one of the two following)
Bladestorm (Ex)
As long as the Ranger is using a bladed weapon, this ability acts as the cleave feat. Any target moving through the Rangers reach or threatened squares (or using any ability or action, which provokes an attack of opportunity) are subject to an attack of opportunity (even if they have an ability that would otherwise make them immune). Both of these gain a circumstance bonus of +2 plus +1 per 5 rangers levels (so at 13 the ranger will gain a bonus to hit of +4, then +5 at 15 and finally +6 at 20).
Untouchable (Ex)
If the ranger made a kill during its action, the next successful attack against the ranger automatically misses. This can be used only once, then the ranger must rest for 10 minutes to regain stamina also to regain the use of this ability.
17th level ability
Reaper (Ex)
When using a bladed weapon and spending a resolve, the first attack made by the ranger is an automatic hit. The ranger must then rest for 10 minutes to regain the use of this ability, unless the ranger kills the target. If that is the case, the ranger can continue to attack, gaining a circumstance bonus of +2 plus +1 per 5 rangers levels (so at 13 the ranger will gain a bonus to hit of +4, then +5 at 15 and finally +6 at 20) to strike any target within range. This can continue as long as the ranger makes kills. Once the ranger fails to make a kill, then the ability ends.
Racial Traits
Ability Adjustments: -2 str, +4 int, -2 wis.
Hit Points: 2
Size and Type: Medium humanoid with the Sophon subtype
Scientific prodigy: Sophon’s gain a +2 racial bonus to three of the five following skills: computers, engineering, life science, medicine and physical science.
Natural Tinkerer: No machine or program is perfect, and as such, the Sophon are always looking at ways to improve the item or program in question. As such, they are allowed to make an Engineering or other appropriate check (DC = 10 + item level x 1.5). If the check succeeds, then the item will permanently gain ONE of the following modifications: +2 to saving throws, hardness = to level +2, hit points (weapons) = 15 + 5 x its level for weapons, armor or sturdy items, or 10 + item level for other items. This also requires a cost equal to 25% of the items original cost. However, if the roll fails, then the item in question gains the broken condition. If a natural 1 is rolled, then the item is destroyed!
Improve that toy!: As is the case with Natural Tinkerer, the Sophon can improve a weapon or piece of armor they are using. They can only improve a single item once, and by doing so they need to make an engineering check check (DC = 10 + item level x 1.5), and pay 50% of the items original cost. If the roll succeeds, any ranged weapon they modify will gain a +1 to hit, while any melee weapon will gain a damage bonus equal to 25% round down, (minimum bonus of +1) of the items level in bonus damage. Any armor will gain a +1 to either EAC or KAC.
Resistant: Due to the nature of their home-world, Sophon’s gain a Resistance 5 against cold-based attacks or damage.
Radiation Resistance: Thanks to their home-world, Sophons gain a +2 bonus to saves vs. radiation.
Low-light vision: Sophons can see in dim light as if it was normal light. For more information see page 264 of the core book.
Space-Born fighters: Thanks to their superior Intelligence and hard-won experience from battling other races while exploring the universe, a Sophon gains +2 circumstance bonus to any DC check while in starship combat.

Special Abilities
Acid blood (Ex): The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 3d4+3 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.
Acid Splash (Ex): Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to affect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 12) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 3d4+3 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.
Carrier (Ex): As the name suggests, this Xenomorph is capable of carrying 2d4 Facehuggers into combat. The Facehuggers cling to the back of the Xenomorph, and as a standard action, the Xenomorph can grab one of the Facehuggers and throw it with great accuracy at a target, up to 50 ft. away. This is a ranged attack, and if it succeeds, the Facehuggers is able to instantly attempt to meld to the targets face. See the Facehuggers for more information.
Cling (Ex): The Xenomorph is able to move its full speed along any surface.
Grab (Ex): When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a successful grapple attack (surpass the targets KAC +9). If it succeeds, the creature will then drag the victim back to the hive to be used as a host. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.
Inner Jaw (Ex): Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (1d6+8 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +14 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +17.
Stalker (Ex): The Xenomorph is a near-perfect predator. As such it gains a +5 racial bonus to stealth rolls, and whenever the creature is in a hive, this bonus increases to +10
Vulnerability to fire (Ex): The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.
Dragon Gland, modified
In many ways this particular piece of biotech is overpowered, as my group and I found out, since three of the PC’s purchased it. All it requires is for the character to expend a single resolve point and they are able to use it round after round until they run out of resolve. Many players would argue that this is not all that bad…. Until the GM uses it against the players.
Our solution to this problem was to force the user to rest for ten minutes and use a single resolve point, just as if they were attempting to regain stamina. If the PC needed to regain stamina as well, they would have to spend two stamina points.
In addition to acid, cold, electricity and fire, allow the PC’s to take arachnid, disruption, laser, plasma and sonic. As with the other types of glands, the damage would be 3d6, 9d6 and 18d6 depending on the type of gland, but the damage type can vary.
Note that the Arachnid gland is based on my conversions from Starship Troopers, which is a fire-based acid, which burns and melts anything it touches.
Lastly, in the case where the save is a natural 1, allow critical effects to take place, with the effects based upon the level of the gland in question. For critical effects such as blind, deafened, staggered, stun, the duration is as follows – Wyrmling 1 round, standard 1d3 rounds, Wyrm 1d6 rounds.

Special Abilities
Acid Vulnerability (Ex): If the REV 9 is hit by an acid-based attack, it does not gain its DR nor does it gain any regeneration.
Cold Vulnerability (Ex): Due to the Nanite swarm the Terminator is constructed of, the memetic poly-alloy portion of the REV 9 is vulnerable to cold. It suffers a -2 to any save against cold-based attacks, and for every 10 points of cold damage the memetic poly-alloy portion sustains; it suffers a -10 ft. to its land speed. Once the memetic poly-alloy portion has received a cumulative 50 points or more damage, it is considered to be staggered. If it takes more than 50 points of damage from a single attack, the memetic poly-alloy portion is temporarily frozen (no save) and cannot move for 2d6 rounds. As the memetic poly-alloy portion regenerates, the penalties incurred from cold damage will disappear.
Detailed anatomy files (Ex): The REV 9 has detailed files of humanoid anatomy. As a result, it automatically gains a damage bonus equal to half the Terminators CR rating (rounded down). Also anytime the REV 9 gains a critical hit, any DC save increases by +2.
Fluid Form (Ex): The REV 9 is composed of a swarm of Nanites. As a result the REV 9 is able to completely conceal itself in any type of environment, gaining a +20 to stealth. Furthermore, the REV 9 can morph its body to take on the appearance of any being it has had physical contact with, becoming a perfect replica of that individual, gaining a +20 to disguise checks. Changing shape or hiding is a standard action. Finally it is impossible for the REV 9 to be grappled, and it can move through even the smallest opening, as long as it is no smaller than a quarter inch.
Hyper-Alloy combat chassis, advanced (Ex): The skeletal structure of the REV 9 is constructed of a special alloy, making it very strong and resistant to damage. As a result, the REV 9 gains a DR 20 / against all physical attacks. Furthermore, the terminator gains a +2 to all Fort saves.
Morphic Weaponry (Ex): As a standard action, the REV 9 can morph one or both arms into any type of bludgeoning, piercing or slashing weapon. It takes a standard action for the REV 9 to reform a regular limb, or create a different type of weapon. When using this ability, the REV 9 has a reach of 15 feet. Finally, it can create four tentacle-like appendages, which it can use to attack targets all around it at once, but at a -4 to hit. It can use this as the fully integrated REV 9 or its memetic poly-carbon form.
Regeneration (Ex): The REV 9 is fully capable of regenerating damage it sustains, even from energy attacks, at the rate of 10 per round. This cannot be done indefinitely though, as it can only regenerate a maximum of 250 points of damage before it needs to replenish the nanites that make up its body.
Split (Ex): The REV 9 is able to separate into two individual units, one the endoskeleton, and the other the memetic poly-carbon portion, which has all the aspects of a T-1000 terminator. This is a standard action for the unit to split, and it is a swift action for both portions to re-integrate into a single unit. When it is split like this, it is not quite as powerful, but the advantages of having multiple bodies typically makes up for any degradation in its combative effectiveness. When it uses this ability, the hit-points are divided equally between the memetic portion and the endoskeleton. The memetic portion retains the ability to regenerate damage, whereas the endoskeleton no longer has this ability (until they have re-integrated). All attacks and saves are reduced by -2, but the movement speed and DR remain untouched. If the endoskeleton is destroyed, the memetic portion can still integrate, although it will require a lot of time to use its regenerative ability to repair the damage the endoskeleton received. If the memetic portion is destroyed, the endoskeleton loses all of the abilities it provided, and it must return to a Legion facility to regain the memetic portion. It is far more vulnerable at this point as well, and is easier to destroy.

Acid blood (Ex): The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 20d4+20 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks.
Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike, the blood will have a chance to effect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 25) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 20d4+20 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.
Ferocity (Ex) When the empress is brought to 0 hit points, it can fight for one more round. It can act normally until the end of its next turn; if it has 0 HP at that point, it dies. If it would lose further HP before this, it ceases to be able to act and dies.
Grab (Ex) When the Xenomorph happens to be within range of a hive, it will often attempt to grab and drag a victim back to the hive to be cocooned and impregnated. The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +9, it instead pins the target). If it succeeds, the creature will then drag the victim back to the hive to be used as a host. The victim can attempt to break free while grappled, requiring a successful escape (using the acrobatics skill). If the victim turns out to be ‘troublesome’ the creature can opt to bite in order to make the target more ‘compliant’.
Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (8d6+20 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +34 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +36.
Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.
Pheromone Frenzy (Ex) By releasing a powerful pheromone into the air, the Empress is able to increase the combative capability of any Xenomorphs within 1000 feet. All Xenomorphs gain a +4 to hit, and damage is increased by +1 per dice. Furthermore, all Xenomorphs gain the Ferocity special ability. This can be used once every 24 hours, and lasts for 2d6+4 rounds.
Rend (Ex) The strength of the empress is so powerful that if it manages to latch onto a target with both main claws (through the grab ability), the target must immediately make a Fort Save (DC 25) or be ripped in two, killing it instantly. Even if the saving throw succeeds, the target still suffers 20d6+34 damage from the attack.
Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.
