X-Com Index
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 |

|
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.
