The ultimate ruler of the Arachnid empire!

Introduced nearly at the same time as the new T-800 Infiltrator Terminators, the M-27 became the standard weapon used by Skynet’s forces on the battlefield.

Based on theoretical designs that were discovered by the AI known as Skynet, the Westinghouse M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle went through a large number of changes and modifications before at long last the final model was put into production.  It is a plasma-based weapon, which can burn through most types of armor. The bullpup configuration allows for a larger magazine capacity (taking two 80 charge power cells at a time), and the weapon is quite heavy and difficult for most human’s to wield, although this is not an issue for the Skynet forces.

The weapon was designed to send heavy firepower downrange, and each pull of the trigger would send a burst of intense purple, which could blow a human-body apart. Few could survive the wounds inflicted by these weapons. Often the weapon would cause combustible materials to burst into flame, which could spell the doom of the hapless soul who happened to be struck by a glancing blow.

Burst Fire

This is an optional rule which allows the shooter to fire a single ‘burst’ of rounds. The average burst is usually 3 rounds or charges (depending on the usage of the weapon in question) per pull of the trigger. Firing a burst incurs a penalty of -2 to hit, but the damage of the attack is increased by 25% (round down). This consumes the equivalent of 3 full shots (rounds or charges, so that if the weapon would use 4 rounds or charges for a single shot, using it on burst fire will now consume 12 charges). The burst will affect only a single target.

Organization: Solitary, small hunting packs (1d3+1), medium packs (2d4+3), large hunting packs (3d6+10)

Special Abilities

Detailed anatomy files (Ex): The Terminator 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 Terminator gains a critical hit, any DC save increases by +2.

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

Infiltrator (Ex): The exterior of the T-800 is living tissue. It can be healed using medicine, and appears completely human. As a result, the Terminator gains a +10 to disguise checks when attempting to infiltrate. As the Terminator takes damage, the flesh will suffer. Once the terminator has taken 50 points of damage, the flesh has been utterly eliminated. As long as at least one hit point of flesh remains, it can heal naturally through medicine or 5 points per 24 hour period; otherwise it can be regrown at a Skynet facility. Obviously if the flesh is destroyed or heavily damaged, the true nature of the Terminator is quite obvious.  For every 10 points of ‘flesh’ damage the terminator has suffered, it gains a -2 to the disguise check to pass as human.

Will not stop (Ex): When the terminator reaches zero hit points, it automatically ‘heals’ 20 points of damage on its next turn. This allows the terminator to continue to fight, although this can only be used once. After the additional hit points have been lost, the Terminator is destroyed.

Environment: Any tropical forest or jungle.

Organization: Solitary or medium groups (3d4)

Special Abilities

Attraction scent (Ex): The fungus then waves lazily in the air, producing pheromones that smell like cooked meat or decaying flesh in order to attract prey. This has a radius of five hundred feet and will affect any creature with a sense of smell, and always smelling like its favorite meat, be it cooked or decayed. A will (DC 12) is required to ignore the scent and not travel towards it. If the save succeeds, the target is immune to the scent for 24 hours.

Digestive Enzymes (Ex): Once a target is within 10 feet, it will lash out slash with the tentacle-like fingers. The ‘hand’ if it successfully strikes, releases a powerful digestive enzyme. A Ref save (DC 12) is required to avoid this coming into contact with the Enzyme. If the save fails, the target will, on the next round, begin to suffer 1d4+3 points of acid damage. This will continue to burn the target until it is washed away (any liquid will do, including water).

Other Abilities: Disease carrier, host link

Languages: Telepathic communication

Ecology

Environment: Any sewer or area that is contaminated with filth.

Organization: Solitary, small groups (1d4+1)

Special Abilities

Disease carrier (Ex): From living in the filth of the sewers and other such locations, anyone that suffers a bite or claw from one of these carriers needs to make a Fort save (DC 16) or come down with the Filth fever disease (page 418 core rule book). A new save is required every time this creature successfully strikes in combat.

Host Link (Su): An unintentional side effect of the creature’s horrible birth is they develop a telepathic bond with their host parent. This has a range of up to 5 miles, and although the host cannot sense the spawn, the spawn knows instantly where the host is located. This is always active, and if the spawn so desires, it can communicate telepathically with the host. Also, the spawn typically gains a few skill ranks in a random skill, which could include a profession. This must coincide with the host, and they gain 1d4+1 ranks in that skill, although it can never exceed the hosts original skill rank level.

Larval Infestation (Ex): In combat, the creature will typically attempt to bite a target in order to spread the creature’s offspring. If it does so, the target must make a Fort save (DC 16) or become infested with 1d6 of the creature’s larvae.  Those that fail find that they have a terrible taste in their mouths, as well as a sore throat and have difficulty swallowing. This will last for 1d4 days. When the final day arrives, the larvae will then eject itself from the host’s mouth, tearing its way up through the throat, causing 6d6 damage. This is direct hit point damage and will not affect the victim’s stamina! If the host survives they heal normally, but more often than not the host is killed as the larvae expels itself from their body. The immature larvae have only 6 hit points and a AC of 7, but move at astonishing speeds (double the regular movement rates) and will head to any cover they can find, doing their best to escape. They have only 48 hours to find water (the filthier, the better). If they are incapable of finding water, they shrivel up and die.

Regeneration (Ex): The creature is able to regenerate from any damage it sustains, except for acid or fire. It automatically regenerates 1 hit point per round, and can regenerate from death as a result. The only way to kill it permanently is to burn the remains with acid or fire.

Telepathic Communication (Ex): This monstrous humanoid is able to telepathically speak with any creature within its line of sight. This bypasses the need to be able to speak or understand any language. This can be used at will.

Vulnerability (Ex): The creatures suffer an additional +2 to any DC involving acid or fire, and cannot regenerate this type of damage. It has to heal naturally, typically over a period of days.

Special Abilities

Destroy substance (Ex): Depending on the species, the evolved rust monster can affect different types of compounds. Nearly all armor, weapons and equipment often employ varying compounds, such as plastics, polymers, metals, ceramics and the like. As such, when the creature attacks, it will attempt to touch an item. If the attack roll succeeds, the tentacle will cause the item to corrode and often fall apart. The item is allowed a Ref save (using the wielder’s save) against DC 17. If it fails, the item is destroyed. If the technological item in question has many different components and different substances, if the save fails, use the following chart to see what happens. Note the damage effects are cumulative, so it would not take long to destroy an item.

Destroy Substance Table

Free Traveller (Ex): All members of this species possess the ability to cling to any surface, giving them normal movement rate, and are able to use tiny puffs of internal gases to move freely in space. This allows them normal movement while in vacuum.

Hibernation (Ex): The creatures can enter a state of hibernation, which is very useful when they are in the depths of space. They can remain this way indefinitely, which can theoretically allow them to travel interstellar space, but it would take millennium to travel even to the nearest star system. This is very useful for the creatures as they travel from asteroid belt to asteroid belt or wait (after being seeded) for a hapless ship to ‘bump’ into.

Sense Substance (Ex): The creature is able to sense the substance it uses as food up to 500 feet from its location.

Specialized Resistance (Ex): Thanks to the specific type of material the creature can destroy and incorporate into its body, the various sub-species have additional resistances. See the sub-species chart for the type of resistances it possesses.

Special Abilities

Clinging (Ex): The creature is able to move along any surface thanks to tiny tendrils covering its body. The creature gains a +10 to all climbing checks, and can move its full movement rate while climbing.

Tailored Toxin (Ex): After biting a target, as a full round action the plant is able to produce a tailored toxin specifically for that creature, which it can use on its next turn. This bypasses any natural immunities to poison the creature might otherwise enjoy! The bite is a Constitution based, and requires 2 successful saves to defeat! The DC for this tailored toxin is 16. Note that this toxin only works on one specific creature. If the plant bites another creature, it will not affect that target, although it can always take a full round and generate a new toxin to be used on the next creature.

Toxic Spit (Ex): After the plant has tasted the blood of another creature and generated the toxin, it can then use it as a ranged attack. The creature can then, as a full round action, spit a glob of this toxin at its intended target. If the attack hits, the glob does not inflict damage, but the target must immediately make a Fort save (DC 16) or suffer the effects of the tailored toxin. This spit has an effective range of 75 feet.

Vulnerabilities (Ex): The creature is susceptible to acid and cold-based attacks. As a result, any saves suffer a -2, and the creature takes an additional 50% damage from these types of attacks.

Other Abilities: Infestation

Languages: None

Ecology

Environment: Any

Organization: Solitary

Special Abilities

Infestation (Ex): The parasite is ingested through food or water. As soon as he victim is exposed to the parasite, it is allowed Fort saving throw (DC 13). If it succeeds, the victim’s natural immune system destroys it. Any creature with immunity to disease is automatically immune to the parasite. If it fails however, the creature will burrow through the body, coming out at a random location and begin to convert the victim’s own flesh into a new nest. This will take 1d6 days, and during this period, the victim will not know anything is amiss, except that their natural healing rate will be halved (rounded down, so that it is possible the victim will not heal anything at all).

At the end of this period, the victim will notice a angry red lump somewhere on its body. The victim is then allowed a Will saving throw (DC 13). If it succeeds, the victim can cut out the lump or find a way to remove it. This will inflict 1d6 points of damage to the victim, but it will remove the parasite. Modern medical drugs (except those for killing disease or parasites) will have no effect on the parasite! Even drugs used to heal the victim will not help, as the parasite will simply flush it out of the body. If the saving throw fails, the victim will not do anything about the lump, and it will be very careful to keep it hidden from view. Over the next 1d6 days the lump will grow until it is the size of a grapefruit and at this time a series of holes will appear on the lump, spaced evenly around it. During this period, the parasite will have laid eggs in the lump and they will hatch, producing the parasitic worm. The lump will contain a minimum of 10 plus 4d4 holes. Each will contain a worm. The parasite will then force the victim to expose food, water-sources and even other creatures to the lump. This will always be done in secret to prevent the parasite from being discovered. Anyone exposed to the parasite will have to make a saving throw (see above). For each day the victim is controlled by the parasite, it will convert the victim’s own body into more worms. It can replenish its entire reserve of worms in one night by converting 1d4 points of Constitution. This will soon kill the victim (once their Constitution score drops to 0, they die), but will give the worm plenty of opportunity to spread itself throughout a community.

Numbing bite (Ex): The creature can use stealth to sneak up on a target and bite. The victim is allowed a Fort save (DC 13). If the save is successful, it feels the bite and can initiate combat. If it does not feel the bite, then the victim suffers an automatic infestation (see above).

Organization: Solitary, pairs, small groups (1d6+2), medium groups (4d6+4), or hives (10d100+50)

Special Abilities

Knowledge Consumption (Su): After the creature has killed an intelligent being, it can choose to consume the victim’s brain. Doing so will allow the creature to gain a new skill possessed by the victim, such as piloting, computers, engineering or the like. The creature will gain half the ranks possessed by the victim (up to a maximum of +5).  It can do this only once, and can gain only a single skill from the consumption. Once it has gained the new skill, it is often sequestered away in the hive until its newly discovered skill is required.

Metamorphic (Su): The creature is able to perfectly mimic the physical appearance of any humanoid it has seen. The only drawback is that it has to be a humanoid, such as a human or elf. It cannot mimic the appearance of the shorter races, such as Ysoki, halflings or gnomes, or non-human races such as androids, Shirren or Vesk. This is a full round action for the creature to take the shape and appearance (including clothing) of another species. It will retain this shape indefinitely, although if it suffers hit point damage, it will automatically revert to its natural appearance. While using this ability, the creature gains a +15 circumstance bonus to disguise checks.

Special Abilities

Attraction Pheromones (Ex): The fungus produces pheromones that smell like cooked food, or decaying flesh in order to attract prey. This has a radius of five hundred feet and will affect any creature with a sense of smell, and always smelling like its favorite food. Anyone smelling this must make a Will save (DC 14) or move towards the scent at their fastest movement speed. If they succeed, they are not compelled to do so, and once they succeed, they are immune to the effects of this ability for 24 hours.

Enzyme Stream (Ex): If getting slapped by the creature was not bad enough, once every three rounds, it can use a single tentacle to shoot a stream of acidic enzymes. This is a cone attack, 5 feet wide and stretches 15 feet. Anything in the cone must make a Ref save (DC 14) or be hit with the acid. This will inflict 1d8+2 acid damage attack. A successful save means no damage.

This is an optional rule which allows the shooter to fire a single ‘burst’ of rounds.

Special Abilities

Spore infection (Ex): Whenever the screaming fungus makes a critical hit with the tendrils, it will inject the victim with its spores. The victim is allowed a Fort save (DC 11). If it fails, nothing will happen for the first 48 hours, and then the victim will begin to sicken. Each day afterwards the victim will suffer 1d3 points of Constitution damage and this will continue for exactly five days. If the Victim’s Constitution ever drops below zero, they will die instantly, otherwise each day that passes, the fungus converts the victim’s body into spoors, which appear on the body as blue pimple-like protrusions. These will take 1d6 hours to ‘ripen’ at which time they will pop, filling a 10 foot area with spoors. They will only take root in dead plant matter, such as what can be found in tropical locations or forests. The victim can be cured by a cure disease spell or technology which destroys disease.

Stunning Scream (Su): Whenever something disturbs the ground within 30 feet of the fungus, bulbous form will suddenly open wide, looking for all intent to be a human mouth. As a standard action, It will then shriek, and anyone caught in the thirty-foot area of effect must Will save (DC 11) or become stunned. The creature can use this at will.

Special Abilities

Electrical Sense (Ex): The creatures are automatically attracted to any power source within 500 feet of their location and will home in on such sources.

EMP Burst (Ex): As a standard action, these creatures can detonate once they are in range of any power source. The resulting explosion deals electrical damage out to a 20 ft. radius. A Ref save (DC 10) will avoid any damage. If the target has the evade feat or class feature, then they can also avoid taking any power loss. Any power-sources in this radius will automatically be drained, rendering it useless. This includes stored batteries and other such devices. Unlike true EMP bursts, this does not harm the electronics, just drains the electrical charges. The creature is killed in the process.

Hardened Survivor (Ex): The EMP arachnid is completely immune to poisons and radiation, and it is able to withstand extreme conditions, even utter vacuum. Whenever the beast must make a saving Fortitude saving throw when dealing with environmental conditions, it gains a +10.

Remington Bolas Game Hunter Rifle (Long arm)

Burst Fire

This is an optional rule which allows the shooter to fire a single ‘burst’ of rounds. The average burst is usually 3 rounds or charges (depending on the usage of the weapon in question) per pull of the trigger. Firing a burst incurs a penalty of -2 to hit, but the damage of the attack is increased by 25% (round down). This consumes the equivalent of 3 full shots (rounds or charges, so that if the weapon would use 4 rounds or charges for a single shot, using it on burst fire will now consume 12 charges). The burst will affect only a single target.

Alternate types of Ammunition

Note that the above only pertains to weapons that use cartridges or bullets. The various types of ammunition are not limited to only the pulse rifle - these different types of ammunition can be used in small arms, long arms, sniper rifles and heavy weapons .

Blood Frenzy (Ex): Like many marine predators, the scent of blood in the water will cause the Swimmer to go into frenzy. This requires the creature to inflict actual hit-point damage on the target, and they must be within 20 feet of the bleeding target. The creature will gain a +2 to hit and +3 to damage, and will prefer to use the bite attack over all others. While it is in frenzy, it will suffer a -2 to both EAC and KAC. They will even attack one another if no enemy targets are available. This lasts for 2d4 rounds.

Waterborne (Ex): The creature is fully capable of using a charge attack underwater and the creature likewise gains a +10 to Athletics (Swim) checks, and its EAC and KAC are increased by 3 as well.

Hardened Survivor (Ex): The Webber arachnid is completely immune to poisons and radiation, and it is able to withstand extreme conditions, even utter vacuum. Whenever the beast must make a saving Fortitude saving throw when dealing with environmental conditions, it gains a +10.

Poison (Ex): When the Webber bites, it can choose to inject two types of poison. First is a paralytic poison which uses the dexterity poison track (Core book, Pg. 415) Two Fort saves (DC 14) are required, and the victim can only be immobilized, they can’t die. The other is a purely destructive poison which attacks the Constitution score, as with the dexterity, Two Fort saves (DC 14) are required, to cure, but unlike the dexterity track, this can kill. The creature can use this with each successful bite.

Web (Ex): As a full round, the Webber can choose to shoot strong webbing at its target. It would prefer to do this when the victim is immobilized by the poison, but it will use this attack if the opportunity presents itself. It is a ranged attack (maximum of 15 feet) and the target is allowed a Ref save (DC 14) to avoid the attack. If the reflex save fails, the victim is instantly entwined in the webbing, immobilizing the. It is a STR check (DC 17) to break free, or if the victim was holding a bladed or edged weapon at the time, the victim can cut free, but this requires a full round action.

Special Abilities

Arachnid Leader (Su): As long as the monarch is within 1 mile of any arachnid, it fights even harder. All arachnids in the area of effect gain a +1 to hit, and +1 to both their EAC and KAC. If the monarch is killed, the bonuses are lost, and all arachnids are stunned, incapable of action for 2d4 rounds. After this comes to the end, they act as if they are confused for an additional 4d6 minutes, and have to roll each minute to see what they will do. If the result is hurting themselves, or attacking one another, then that is exactly what they will do.

Roll on the following chart to see how the Arachnids end up acting if the Monarch has been killed.

Monarch Death Behavior chart

Bolster the Swarm (Su): This psychic ability allows the Monarch to improve the will saves of all the Arachnids within a 500 foot range of the creature by +6, and it also removes any mental conditions such as stunned, shaken, and so on. This is a full round action and the creature must concentrate each round to maintain it. If the concentration fails, the Arachnids in the area of effect will revert to their usual Will save. The Monarch can maintain this indefinitely, as long as it can concentrate, but it can only be used once per day once it has dropped the bolster effect.

Fear Aura (Su): The Monarch generates an aura of absolute terror. This is an area effect aura, and covers a range out to 200 feet of the Monarch. Other Arachnids are immune to the effect, but non-arachnids must make a Will save (DC 27) or become shaken for 1d6 rounds. This is a constant ability and can be supressed by the Monarch if it so desires.

Hardened Survivor (Ex): The Monarch arachnid is completely immune to poisons and radiation, and it is able to withstand extreme conditions, even utter vacuum. Whenever the beast must make a saving Fortitude saving throw when dealing with environmental conditions, it gains a +10.

Mental Blast (Su): When the Monarch is in danger; it can release a powerful psychic blast. This will affect any non-Arachnid within 75 feet. Those who are in this area are allowed a Will save (DC 27) or be hit by the blast. They suffer 8d6+20 points of damage and are staggered. A successful save negates the effects. This is a standard action and the creature can use this once every three rounds.

Psionic Spike (Su): As a standard action, the creature is able to directly attack a single target with a powerful jolt of psionic energy which bypasses any type of damage reduction. The victim is allowed a Will save (DC 27) or they will suffer 8d10+20 points of damage, and suffer 2d4 points of temporary wisdom damage. A successful save halves the damage and no will is lost. This is a standard action and the creature can use this once every second round.

Telepathic Communication (Ex): The Monarch is able to telepathically speak with any creature within its line of sight. This bypasses the need to be able to speak or understand any language. This can be used at will.

Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, the creature can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The Monarch 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 27) for half damage. If it attempts the save, it can’t make an attack of opportunity against the trampling Monarch due to the creature’s movement. The Monarch can deal trample damage to a given target only once per round.

Swallow whole (Ex): The creature is able to potentially swallow whole any creature it bites which is at least one category size smaller. See page 156-157 of the Alien Archive for more information.
