Starfinder: Classic Cylon Raider

cylon-raider.jpg

My take on the classic Cylon Raider. Yes, it slightly breaks the rules when it comes to constructing ships in Starfinder, but I have attempted to keep it as close as possible to the original concept.

A more advanced and powerful version of the standard Sectoid clone, the commander is more durable and able to withstand the punishment often meted out during combat.

Physically they are almost identical to the regular Sectoids, although their craniums are somewhat larget, and their eyes glow a hellish red.

The Commanders are exactly as they sound – commanders. They are always found with the regular Sectoids (1d4 per Commander), and tend to lead from the rear, directing their charges. They also possess a powerful set of psionic abilities to use against enemy targets, giving them a distinctive edge in combat.

If that was not bad enough, they are also able to temporarily take control of the enemy combatant’s minds, turning the fighters on their own, forcing them to attack their friends and comrades.

Like regular Sectoids, the Commanders are fully capable of using armor and other light weapons, but typically do not bother.

These Commanders are more cowardly, and always take advantage of cover, making sure that they send in the light infantry first, or make sure more advanced and powerful units ‘soften’ up the enemy forces before advancing.

Special Abilities

Greater Mind Link (Su): As a standard action, a Sectoid Commander can link its mind to any other Sectoid within 100 ft. The difference is they can link up to 3 Sectoids, as long as they are within 20 feet of one another. As a result, the linked Sectoid gains +2 to hit, 6 additional hit points, and acts as if is under the haste spell. This lasts for 1 minute or until the original linker is killed. Unlike regular Mind Link, if the target is killed, the Sectoid Commander does not suffer any backlash, other than is shaken for a single round. It can use this ability twice per day.

Induce Panic (Su): The Sectoid Commander is fully capable of inducing panic in any target it has line of sight on. As a standard action, the Sectoid commander forces feelings of panic and dread on the target. A will save (DC 15) will negate the effects. The target is allowed a saving throw every round afterwards to negate the effects. While panicked, the target must roll on the following table to see what it will do. The Sectoid Commander can use this once per day.

 

Induce Panic Table

Roll

Action

Effect

1

Run away

The victim drops whatever they are holding and runs away from the Commander at their best maximum movement rate.

2

Cower

The target kneels on the ground, cowering in fear, incapable of doing anything else.

3

Fire on nearest target

In a panicked state, the target fires on the closest target (friend or foe), but suffers a -2 to hit.

4

Fire on nearest foe

In a panicked state, the target fires on the closest enemy combatant, but suffers a -2 to hit.

5

Staggered

Still somewhat under control, the target is staggered for this round.

6

Paralyzed

The target freezes in place, incapable of taking any action at all.

 

Mind Control (Su): By making a full round action, the Sectoid Commander forces a single enemy combatant to make a Will Save (DC 15). If it fails, the target is fully controlled by the Sectoid Commander. The target is then forced to perform any action the Sectoid Commander deems fit – including using special abilities against the targets team-mates. This lasts for 1d4+2 rounds, and only ends if the Sectoid Commander wills it, or is killed. It can be used only once per day.

Mind Fray (Su): As a standard action, the Sectoid commander can target a single enemy combatant. The target is allowed a Will save (DC 15). If the save fails, the target suffers 2d4+3 points of electrical damage and furthermore shaken for 1d4 rounds. The Sectoid commander can use this ability every 3rd round.

Suppression (Ex): As a full round action, the creature can designate a single target. It can fire at the target, which is required to make a Will save (DC 12) or become shaken for a single round. The save is only required if the target is hit by the shot. The creature can use this ability every round.

Telepathy (Su): All members of the Sectoid clone race are capable of telepathy. They can use this with one another, and it can link up to 6 Sectoids at a time, and the range is line of sight.

Special Abilities

Hyper-Alloy combat chassis (Ex): The skeletal structure of the HK Javelin is constructed of a special alloy, making it very strong and resistant to damage. As a result, the unit gains a DR equal to its CR against all physical attacks. Furthermore, the unit gains a +2 to all Fort saves.

Missile launch (Ex): As a standard action, the Javelin can launch a high-explosive missile. This has a range of 1500 feet within line of sight, and no to-hit roll is required. It will detonate on the chosen location, exploding in a 30 ft. radius, causing 9d8 damage plasma damage. A Reflex save DC 19 indicates half damage. The Javelin can carry 8 of these missiles.

Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, the unit can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The HK Javelin merely has to move over the opponents in its path. The creature does not need to make an attack roll; each creature whose space it moves through takes damage. A target of a trample can make a REF save (DC 19) for half damage. If it attempts the save, it can’t make an attack of opportunity against the trampling HK Javelin due to the creature’s movement. The HK Javelin can deal trample damage to a given target only once per round.

Explosive (Ex): The T-S is programmed to explode if it comes into contact with more than 3 resistance fighters. It will attempt to ‘sneak’ up unseen, and once it is in the area of effect, it will detonate. The T-S seeker has an explosive radius of 20 ft., and inflicts 2d6+4 Plasma damage. The unit is destroyed in the process.

Special Abilities

Bestow Curse (Su): As a full round action, the Piru can bestow a curse upon a single target. It can also do this upon its death, automatically targeting whoever killed it. The victim is allowed a Will save (DC 20). If the save succeeds, then nothing untoward happens. If it fails, the GM will secretly roll on the following charts to see when the curse occurs, and what are the actual effects of the curse.  The Piru can also use this upon anyone who it deems has insulted it or refused to give a suitable ‘offering’. The creature can use this ability three times per day.

Something has really aggravated the Piru, and the retaliation is a lot worse.

The Piru wants the target dead.

Death, or destruction of item or property. Item is allowed a saving throw with a -4 to the roll or is destroyed. Even if the save succeeds, the item is still damaged.

When it comes down to it, the GM should use their imagination when it comes to determining what actually happens. When it comes to taking actual damage the GM should turn it into a story. For example, character is just walking along and ends up getting hit from falling debris near a construction site, or is in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets hit by stray rounds from a gunfight, or gets hit by a run-away vehicle. Think Final Destination. When it comes to disease or poison, maybe the character was unwittingly exposed to something. Again it is up to the GM to use their imagination!

Organization: Solitary

 

Special Abilities

Fire Wielder (Su): Once per round as a standard action (unless otherwise noted), the creature can use one of several types of fire-based attacks. It can choose to shoot a series of small, independently targeting balls of flame. They act like magic missiles and have a maximum range of 50 ft. The creature fires off 1d6 balls (randomly rolled each time), and they will automatically hit, inflicting 1d4 points of fire damage. Once every 4 rounds the creature can also use a single fireball. This is a full round action and it has a burst radius of 20 feet. The maximum range is 50 feet from the creature and it inflicts 4d6+5 points of damage. A reflex save (DC 15) halves the damage. Another attack he creature possesses is that it can also create a cone of fire once every two rounds. This has a 10 foot width, and a range of 30 feet. The damage inflicted is 2d6+5 and anything caught in the radius is allowed a reflex save (DC 15) for half damage. Finally it can choose to use the attacks against weapons or armor, or even attempt to start objects or locations on fire. If it is an item, the item is allowed a saving throw, and if it fails, the item takes 2d6+5 damage and is now burning, and will take the same damage every round. Each round it is allowed another save, and if it succeeds, then the fire is snuffed out. Locations with flammable material are automatically burning, and will continue to burn, spreading by 5 feet per round in a random direction.

Heat Aura (Su): There is an aura of intense head surrounding these creatures. Anything coming within 5 feet will automatically suffer 1d6 points of flame damage per round.

Vulnerable to cold (Ex): The creature takes double damage from all cold-based attacks, and also suffers a -4 to any saving throw involving cold-based saving throws.

 

SPONTANEOUS HUMANOID COMBUSTION

Type disease; Save Fort DC 12

Track Physical; Frequency 1/day

Effect When the victim is infected, nothing seems amiss. The disease will progress as normally through all the tracks, but the victim will not feel the actual effects of each stage of the disease. Once the track hits dead, the victim will feel warm for about 30 seconds, and then the heat will become excruciating. Flames will appear on the exterior of the victim, and in moments any clothing and other items will be burned to ash. For 1d4 rounds the victim will burn, screaming in unholy agony, until the disease has finished converting. It then becomes a S.H.C victim, which has only one purpose – to spread the flames. Only humanoids can contract this disease, and no one has been able to figure out the actual vector, although there are those who are certain it is actually a magical curse.

Cure 2 consecutive saves.

It can move through any type of material, even metal, although it cannot use this ability to pass through energy fields. It is fully able to move while hidden, and cannot be detected (except through vibration sense, or life-sense). The creature will eventually breach the surface, and typically in the same square as an enemy. The enemy is allowed a perception check vs. the creature’s stealth.

Special Abilities

Glow (Ex): Because of the radiation emanating from the creature. This produces dim illumination for up to 30 feet around the creature. It also causes the creature to suffer a -4 to its stealth roll, although this does not matter when the creature is moving through solid matter.

Phase (Su): As a standard action, the Phase rat is able to become insubstantial and it can move into the surrounding terrain. It can move through any type of material, even metal, although it cannot use this ability to pass through energy fields. It is fully able to move while hidden, and cannot be detected (except through vibration sense, or life-sense). The creature will eventually breach the surface, and typically in the same square as an enemy. The enemy is allowed a perception check vs. the creature’s stealth. If it fails, the target is considered to be flat-footed.

Radiation Field (Ex): The Glowing Phase Rat generates a field of low radiation. This covers only the square it is in, but anyone physically attacking the creature must make a fort save (DC 13), or contract radiation sickness.

Special Abilities

Defensive Phase (Su): The creature can choose, as a standard action, to become insubstantial. While it is in this state, it becomes immune to all physical attacks, although it still suffers regular damage from energy weapons. While in this state, the creature cannot use its natural attacks, and often uses this ability as a purely defensive measure. It is a swift action to turn off this ability.

Diseased (Ex): Whenever they bite a target, there is a flat 20% chance the target will become infected by Bubonic plague. This will become 100% if the creature succeeds with a critical hit with the bite or claw.

Phase (Su): As a standard action, the Phase rat is able to become insubstantial and it can move into the surrounding terrain. It can move through any type of material, even metal, although it cannot use this ability to pass through energy fields. It is fully able to move while hidden, and cannot be detected (except through vibration sense, or life-sense).

Feats: Fast talk, iron will, skill focus (bluff)

Other Abilities: Gentle feeding, reproduction

Languages: Common

 

Ecology

Environment: Any urban, or any transport

Organization: Solitary

 

Special Abilities

Alcohol Vulnerability (Ex): Alcohol of any type is toxic to the Transit Hunter. The very smell of it repulses them, and they will leave anyone who has imbued in the drink alone. If they actually ingest it, or the blood of someone who has been drinking, they will die. If ingested directly, it is an instantaneous death, if they drink the blood of someone who has been drinking; they must make a Fort save (DC 20) or die instantly. Even if they succeed in the save, they are considered staggered and will lose 2d6 hit points per round for 3d4 rounds, which could still kill them outright. Finally if alcohol touches their flesh, they must make a fort save (DC 20), or become paralyzed for 1d6 rounds.

Gentle Feeding (Su): Using their tentacles, the transit hunters are able to feed off their sleeping victims without causing them harm. The same toxin that puts the victim to sleep acts as an anesthetic, and will dull the pain the attack inflicts. Each minute the creature remains in physical contact with their target, they suck the blood from the body through the tentacle. This causes 1d6 points of Constitution damage, and once the victim reaches zero constitution, they die from blood loss. If the feeding is interrupted, the lost Constitution will return at the regular daily rate.

Local Appearance (Su): All transit hunters possess the ability to look exactly like the most common type of creature to use such conveyances. They are able to take this form and can remain in such a state until they feed or need to reproduce. When in this form, they are virtually indistinguishable from other creatures or humanoids, and as such they gain a +20 to their disguise checks.

Reproduction (Ex): The creature can choose to implant a host with an egg. The victim is allowed a fort save (DC 15). If it succeeds, the egg is killed by the host’s natural immune system. Otherwise it will quickly grow into a larva, which takes 4d6 hours. Once it hatches, the larva will then begin to feed. As it feeds, the larva exudes the same anesthetic, which shuts down the pain receptors. Each hour the victim will lose 1d6 points of Constitution. Once the victim reaches zero, it dies and the larva takes over the body. Over 3d10 days, the body will gradually transform until it has the exact appearance of the transit hunter species.

Sleep Toxin (Su): The tentacles of the transit hunters are coated with a special toxin. Just touching someone with the tentacle will cause the victim to make a fort save (DC 15) or fall into a deep slumber. This will last for 2d4 hours, and the victim can be awakened through pain, such as taking damage, but otherwise they will stay asleep.

Special Abilities

Any Weapon (Ex): The CHAS is fully capable of handling any type of weapon it encounters, including enemy weapons that are not often seen. As a result, the CHAS unit does not require the proficiency to use the weapon. This covers the entire range from swords, bows and other archaic weaponry, up to modern weapons, and even the various weapons on ships and other vehicles.

Jump Jets (Ex): The CHAS comes equipped with Jump Jets, which allow it limited flight capabilities. It can fire while using these jets, but suffers a -4 to all attack rolls. The unit can move up to 80 feet per round, and it has enough fuel to last for a maximum of 2 minutes. After the fuel has been depleted, it needs to be replaced before the unit can use this ability once again.

Xeno-metamorphosis DNA Infection

Type: disease (physical contact) Save: Fortitude DC 17

Track: Physical Frequency: 1/hour

Effect: Any creature coming into contact with the contaminant must make an immediate save. If it fails, the creature is infected. The track progresses until it hits bedridden, at which point the DNA metamorphosis is complete and the infected creature changes into a fully developed Xenomorph Drone.

Cure: 3 consecutive saves

Cylon, human AKA ‘Skinjobs’ or ‘The 12’

Racial Traits

Created to be almost indistinguishable from regular humans, the Cylon humanoids take the physical appearance and mannerisms of their hated for.  They are so similar to regular humans, only a detailed scan on a biological level will be able to detect the slight chemical differences, which are a trademark of their synthetic creation.

Ability Adjustments: +2 to Str and Con, -2 to any attribute

Hit Points: 4

Size and Type: Cylon humanoids are medium size with the human subtype.

Computer Symbiosis: The way the Cylon human’s brains are constructed, they can physically ‘jack’ into computer systems, using the palms of their hands. This gives the Cylon humans a +4 to any computer checks they are attempting, as long as they are able to physically touch a computer with their bare hands. Even gloves will prevent this from occurring.

Predestined Profession: Having been created to infiltrate human society, each Cylon humanoid has been given a profession. This is chosen at creation and the Cylon automatically gains 1 rank in it every level without having to pay for it.

Resistant: Cylon’s are slightly more resistant to the effects of poisons, disease, gaining a +2 saving through when exposed to such hazards.

Resurrection: Whenever a Cylon humanoid is killed, a new body is resurrected at the nearest Cylon base-ship or colony. Depending on the distance between the place of death and the nearest body, the newly resurrected Cylon humanoid may lose hours, weeks or even longer of their memory. This can translate into lost experience and even levels and abilities, depending on how long it has been since the last memory upload.

Self-controlled Hallucinations: Due to the nature of their programming, Cylon Humans are fully capable of creating their own controlled hallucinations. As such, when they know something is about to occur, they are able to modify what they ‘see’ in order to either offset the effects, or enhance them to be more to their liking. As such, if given time and foreknowledge of what is about to take place, they will gain a +2 against all mind-affecting effects. This does require a standard action, however.

Skill Focus: Every Cylon humanoid specializes in a specific skill, and automatically gains this feat at first level. The skill must be chosen at that time.
