IntroductionAnima: Beyond Science is a fan-madesupplement to the popular Anima:Beyond Fantasy role-playing game,attempting to combine the feel andatmosphere of the best science fictionwith the versatile rule mechanics ofthe Anima game.

Whether cinematic Space Opera,gritty cyberpunk or star-faringwestern in space, Beyond Sciencesobjective is to give you the tools torun that game using Anima rules.

Anima: Beyond Science requires theAnima RPG rulebook to play.

The basic Anima rules have beenlargely left intact to ensure that yourexperience moving from one toanother is quick and easy, and toenable you to add components of oneto the other, such as Psionics orMagic.

Beyond Science is an ongoing project,and continues to be updated withnew material and revisions areslowly made to rules.

Because of this, suggestions andcomments on the project areparticularly welcome.

CharacterCreationPlayers generate their rolls

using the normal methods.Appearance and wealth arerolled at the same time,players may choose whichto allocate.

Bonuses to primaryattributes that are not racialin nature are halved if they

would bring the total toabove 10. Odd bonuses arerounded down, and only theexcess above the maximumare affected in this way.

Concepts such as Inhumanor Zen no longer exist, youcan gain the full benefit

from your attributeregardless of how high itmight be.

Characteristics

There are eight primaryattributes, as in BeyondFantasy. The effect that theyhave on a character differslightly however, as shown:

Agility (AGI)Defence, Movement, Actions

Constitution (CON)Life Points, Physical Resistance,

Intelligence (INT)Secondary Skills and Technology

Power (POW)Heritage, Style, Leadership

Willpower (WP)Mental Resistance

Perception (PER)Sensory Increment

Strength (STR)Melee damage, Wear Armour

Dexterity (DEX)Attack, Actions


6/122

Resistances

There is no such thing as Presence inBeyond Science, and there are only twotypes of resistance- physical and mental.Each resistance begins at 20 plus either

your constitution modifier (physical) oryour willpower modifier (mental), andincreases according to your class.

Combat Abilities

Attack depends on Dexterity

There is no block or dodge ability inBeyond Science, replaced by a single

Defence ability, which depends onAgility.

Wear Armour depends on Strength.

Training Modules are no longer simplyfor combat, and subsume martial arts.

Technological Abilities

Genetic Potential is the cost for

purchasing gene points, which you canspend on enhancements or splicing.

Genetic Adaptation is themaximum level of geneticmodification you can undergo.Your adaptation is added toyour constitution score for this

purpose.Cybernetic Potential is the costfor purchasing cyber points,which you can spend onenhancements.

Integrity is the maximum levelof cybernetic modification youcan undergo. Your integrity is

added to your constitutionscore for this purpose.

Prototype Development isyour ability to invent newforms of technology anddepends on intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is yourability to program computer

code and depends onintelligence.


7/122

New Character Creation Rules

Natural Bonus

Characters no longer receive a naturalbonus, instead they gain a bonus to twosecondary skills of their choice each levelequal to their intelligence modifier. If thecharacter has a negative intelligencemodifier they do not gain this bonus.

Human characters also receive a +10innate bonus to five secondary skills of

their choice at each level, called a RacialBonus.

Fumbles and OpensFumbles occur on a roll of 01-05and incur a d100 penalty to theaction. Opens occur on a roll of 96-100 and apply a d100 bonus to the

action. You cannot receive morethan one open per check.

MasteryEvery 100 points of final ability isknown as a mastery level. Eachmastery level a character achievesalters the roll required to incur afumble or an open by one point in

your favour.For example, 01-05 becomes 01-04,and 96-00 becomes 95-00.Remember, however, that a 01 isalways a fumble.

Creation Notes

The maximum number of points

you can spend on any primary orsecondary skill is one quarter yourmaximum.

For example, a level one charactercannot spend more than 150 DP ona single skill.

This rule supersedes all previouslimits on purchasing skills.

Characters may spend any amountof their points on combat ortechnological skills, but mustspend at least one quarter of theirdevelopment points on secondaryskills.

There is no longer amaximum cap on innate or

class bonuses.

Mechanical Engineering is your ability toconstruct robotic chassis and heavy duty

equipment and depends on intelligence.

Other AbilitiesHeritage is an affinity to your ancestors,and a source of unexpected ability duringtimes of difficulty. It depends on power.All characters receive one heritage pointper level, including the first.

Sensory range is your effective range withskills and attacks and depends onperception.

humans receive. Second, aliens cannot choose their Racial Skill Bonuses theywish to receive a +10 per level innate bonus from, instead they are assignedthem.

It is important to note that racial bonuses to attributes are an exception to therule halving attribute bonuses above 10.

creature touched has the penalty ofany emotional or pain effectcurrently active on him halved. ThePraav takes no penalty in return,but the use of this ability can beextremely uncomfortable for him,

Ancestral Spirit

Caidos naturally feel the imprint of

history everywhere they go. It isnot an exact science, but Caidosoften get glimpses of importantevents that have occurred nearby.The DM may roll a d100 for theCaidos in an area where animportant event took place. On anOpen Result (using the CaidosHistory), they get a glimpse of the

event occurring, as if using the Seein History Sentience Power at ZenLevel.

Deific Grandeur

Millennia of godhood has left thePurnata confident of their personaland collective destiny. Purnata addan attribute bonus of their choice to

all social rolls and to all coercionbonuses or penalties they inflict.

Profiteering

Yedig know opportunity when itpresents itself, and rarely let it passthem by. They add theirintelligence and their powermodifier to critical results they

inflict, and to all secondary skillrolls that the DM believes to be tosatisfying a base interest.

Protect the Weak

Tuerii suffer no penalty to defendanother, and may do so more thanonce a round. When fighting todirectly defend another weaker thanthemselves, they may add theirwillpower as an all-action bonus.

Hear the Machine

Forlorn

Anlayis dont understand people,

and suffer twice their intelligencebonus to all social interactions, notincluding resisting coercion.

Redundant Systems

Karrans are notorious for their loveof a semi-legal drug known asCardium. Karrans that takeCardium receive twice the normal

benefits and side-effects.Voice of the Master

Lide have extremely complex vocalchords, capable of mimicking justabout any sound. In addition, thecomplexity of intonation availableimproves the Lides socialsecondary skills by their

intelligence modifier.

Light Sensitivity

Lide come from a shadowy worldwhere all light is simply reflectedfrom other planets. As a result, theysuffer a -10 all action penalty inbright light (such as daylight).Darkened lenses will not reduce the

penalty, as the darkening of visionwill have the same effect, though itmay be more comfortable for theLide.

The Grand Hunt

Caius are patient hunters, and famousfor always getting the prey eventually.A Caius receives a cumulative +5 allaction bonus (to a maximum of +50)

against a particular enemy every timethey face them, after the first. Thisbonus also applies to all rolls to track orfind them.

penalty disappears at a rate of 5 perday without firsthand witnessingviolence.


18/122

Sensory IncrementA weapons range is no longer limitedonly by the weapon in Beyond Science.In an age when most weapons can hit

the horizon, a weapons maximumrange is less important. What mattersmore is the spatial awareness, hand-eye-coordination and all round skill ofthe user, which is where sensoryincrements come in.

Weapons come in four range varieties:Short, Medium, Long and Extreme.You multiply the distance modifier ofyour weapon by your perception to getyour weapon increment, beyond whichyou begin to suffer a penalty to yourattack. You suffer a -50 penalty forattacking beyond your increment, plusanother -50 per increment beyond, to amaximum of -200.

Notice and Search checks are also

affected by your sensory increment.

20mExtreme Range

10mLong Range

5mMedium Range

2mShort Range

Sight and Sound are consideredto be extreme in range. A Humansense of smell is considered to beshort range. Touch and taste arenot affected by sensoryincrement.

Different species may havedifferent sensory increments.

Perception attributes above 10have additional bonuses, asdetailed in Dominus Exxet.

Optional Rule: Snipers Eye

You may substitute yourperception bonus for an aimingbonus if it would be higher.


19/122

Combat

Each round, before initiative isrolled, players must declare howmany actions they intend to take.

Drawing a heavy or rifle sizedweapon is considered an activeaction.

Cover

Your cover bonus is taken froman enemies ranged attack whenyou are benefiting from it,

1/2 cover -40

3/4 cover -60

9/10 cover -100

Visibility

Visibility modifiers are now thesame as they are in melee combat.

Changing TargetEach time you change targetduring a turn you take acumulative -25 penalty to attack.

DefencesFailing a defence does notprevent you from taking active

actions next turn. Each defence youmake inflicts a -10 penalty to your nextattack, whether melee or ranged.Counterattacks are unaffected by thisrule. You may not suffer more than a -100 penalty from this rule.

This penalty is called Taking Fire.


20/122

Elite Trooper

The best of the best, elitetroopers are taken from the top

of their classes in eachacademy throughout the

galaxy and trained exclusivelyin the art of war.

Heroes each, their only failingis that in a universe full of

freaks, they are only human.Elite troopers have the best

armour and weapons trainingin the game, but lack special

abilities.

player looking for a morecomplex role-playing challenge.

Androids cannot be hacked, nor can they buy frame components.They can, however, purchase AI packages and are always

considered to possess a CPU of the same Intelligence they are.

Hacking

Computers are an everyday part of life inBeyond Science, and most characters willhave had considerable experience dealingwith them. Simple things such asbrowsing HoloNet, or checking youremail can be done without a check. Moreadvanced uses of a computer, such asprogramming or hacking are more in-depth and may require a Computers

check.

Hacking requires a computer, and aconnection to the target intelligence,either by a cable, a wireless connection, orby connection to a proxy with its ownconnection to the target.

Once a connection has been made, youmay make one attempt per round to take

control of a particular function, or to gainadministrative access.

Every Artificial Intelligence andprotected computer has afirewall skill, which is comparedagainst your Computers checkevery time you make a hackingattempt.

Unprotected computers require aroutine Computers check tohack.

Artificial Intelligences roll a d100on top of their skill, whileprotected computers have onlytheir set skill.

If the computer is actively beingused by another operator, whohas administrative control, theymay make a computers checkthemselves if you beat thefirewall. If they beat your result,your attempt is nullified, andthey maintain control. If youbeat their result, you gain control

as normal.

Trying to access a single functionrequires you get a result 40points below the target. Havingaccess to a single function (aweapon, a limb, a process)allows you to use that functiononly. Self-destructive procedures

are never considered to be asingle function.

Administrative access requiresbeating the firewall skill withyour Computers check, butallows you total access to thecomputer.


34/122

Making a command when youhave access to a combat-readycomputer (CRC) is a passiveaction. Otherwise, it is an activeaction.

A CRC requires a HUD (see thetechnology chapter), and costsTechnology Points.

The complexity of thecommands you can make of acomputer depend on itsintelligence. You cannotcommand a computer to do

something beyond itscapability (such as explodingwithout a self-destruct, ormoving without parts).

You can also command acomputer to Lockout, whichwill cause it to ignore all furthercommands, whether given byyou or not. This lockout can bepermanent or last for a givenamount of time. The only wayto end a lockout is to physicallyget inside the computer andmanually turn it off.

Until told otherwise, even if acomputer is taken control of byanother, it will continue

performing tasks given to itpreviously. A computer canperform millions of low-leveltasks simultaneously, so itpossible that the new user maynot notice that the computer isdoing it. Noticing this mayrequire a Computers orAnalysis check.

It should be noted that in the BeyondScience universe security concerns

about rogue hackers taking overmultiple systems have led virtually allSystem companies to separate computernetworks, and to severely restrict theuse of wireless connections.

Generally speaking, you should only beable to access a computer in the room itis in, and then that computer will not be

linked to any others unless absolutelynecessary for its function.

Similarly, it is not possible to exert anycontrol over any computer over theHoloNet, and downloads and otherindirect attempts can no longer effectcore functions. Only a direct Computerscheck will suffice.


35/122

Repairs

It will likely become necessary to repairequipment over time, as it takesdamage, or is subject to extreme forces.Repairs are the only way to restore lifepoints to starships or robots, treated asif a Medicine check, with additional

components with a CR cost equal to thenumber of life points restored squared.

Otherwise, repairs to equipment willcost anywhere from 1/100th to 1/2 theoriginal price of the equipment,depending on the severity of thedamage and the availability ofcomponents. The repair check will be 40

points lower than the check required tocraft the item originally.

The repair skill can also be used tosalvage components frommechanical or electronic devices.

Salvaging an intact piece is usuallyless cost effective than selling it asis, but in some cases, such as if youlack the space to transport the

whole piece, or if the object isbroken, it can be a worthwhileventure regardless.

Salvage recovers useablecomponents worth the normalvalue of the object if it were intact.

Severe damage may reduce thisamount considerably, though a

high repair check may mitigatethe damage for this purpose.


36/122

Piloting

Piloting Techniques:

Evasive Maneuvres

For one round, the defence of thepiloted craft is replaced by a pilotingcheck, modified by the size of ship.The pilot may not make attacks withthe weapon systems while takingevasive manoeuvres.

Ramming Speed

Make a piloting check rather than an

attack to ram into another ship. Youdeal base damage equal to your sizemodifier multiplied by themovement value you attain whileramming, to both yourself and theenemy ship.

Vectored Thrust

An unexpected, jerky movement,allowing the pilot to make achange of any direction whilemoving.

Requires a Piloting Check of:

Vector Thrust movement during aturn can surprise an opponent ifin a dogfight, or leave themselvesvulnerable. In a dogfight theenemy must make a pilotingcheck opposed by the players.The loser is considered surprisedagainst that opponent if he failedby 40 or more.

Only light cruisers and smallercan make a vectored thrustmanoeuvre.

Broadside

You may take a -30 penalty toyour defence to grant a +10 bonusto your attack. You may do thisup to three times to gain acumulative effect.

Flying Cautious

Alternatively, you may take a -30penalty to your attack to grant a+10 bonus to your defence. Youmay do this up to three times togain a cumulative effect.

ExamplesSize

To accelerate past thespeed of light, and explorebeyond their own systemsthe races of Beyond Sciencedeveloped a technologyenabling a ship to foldspace, dramaticallyreducing the amount oftime spent in transit.

Speed

A ships sub-light speed isworked out by subtractingits size from the enginepower as a fraction of thespeed of light.

Those ships capable of itmay also fold space by theamount given, which is

multiplied with the sub-light speed to give theships Fold Speed.

Gravity Wells

Any object with a mass of a small moon orgreater is considered to have a gravity well.

Gravity wells cannot be folded through- yourtrip will end when you enter a gravity well. Youmay also not fold inside a gravity well, youmust leave it first.

It is quite typical for a fold route to take a shipthrough many gravity wells, which is where themajority of space combat will take place.

If a sub-light engines speed would reduced toless than 0,1 of the speed of light, they areinstead reduced to 0.05 instead. If the samewould increase an engines speed above 1.0, theDM may decide if he wants the law of LorentzInvariance to be absolute in his game- or not.

Working out your exact speed is not necessary,as all distances will be measured as if moving atthe speed of light- i.e. Light years- so you justneed to divide the time given by your sub-lightspeed.

Your fold speed multiplies this speed by thenumber given when folding through open space.

Every starship starts off as a frame, which by itself does nothing but takepunishment and hold modules. The larger the frame, the more modules it can

carry inside of it, and the more modules it has, the more it can do. Rememberthat you must pay for both the frame and modules for a ship to work.

Starship RulesIn most respects, a starship istreated as being a creaturedirectly controlled by the pilot.

For example, a starship rollsdefence using the pilots basedefence primary ability,modified by its agility(manoeuvre) instead of thepilots own.

Initiative is calculated as if thepilot were using the ship as a

weapon, with the base initiativebeing its speed.

Ships gain life points as if theywere level 0 damage resistancecharacters with a constitutionequal to its mass attribute.

Ships have physical resistanceequal to 25 plus their

constitution modifier (assumingthe ships mass attribute isconsidered to be itsconstitution), Ships have nomental resistance.

The Importance of Piloting

A starships maximum defence and initiative bonus is limited to thefinal skill bonus of the pilots Pilot secondary skill.

Quality increases both manoeuvre andmass attributes by 1 point, and increasesavailable module slots by 50%.

Double the ships manoeuvre to find itsFlight Value when in atmosphere.

The ships Lift Value is equal to its mass,and it can carry as much cargo as a humanof that strength could have as itsmaximum load. Battleships can carry 1mtons, not an infinite amount!

You may reduce the ships Lift Value for

the purposes of cargo by any amount togain the same amount of module space, toa minimum Lift Value of 10.


42/122

PowerStarship Reactors generate Power everyround, which can be used to power aships sub-light speed, shields, weaponsystems, and a number of functions.

Power can be rerouted with an easycomputers or repair check (dependingon whether the character is using acomputer or manually reroutingpower), drawing most of the power

from one module and putting intoanother.

Each unit of power rerouted in a roundincreases the check difficulty by twogrades. In a combat situation, thischeck may be subject to the relevantpenalties.

These effects are temporary, but once

rerouted, the bonus and penaltyremains in place until rerouted again.

TOFROM

The above table lists the effect ofrerouting power away and towardsa module. You cant overcharge amodule with extra units of power,it must be rerouted.

Rerouting for a long period of time

can be dangerous. Modules thathave been rerouted power TO themcan suffer the effects of a long-termbuild up of power.

For each minute of time that passeswhile rerouting power TO amodule, roll a d100. On a roll of a01-05, the module short-circuits and

becomes damaged. Each minutethat passes the roll becomes 5points more difficult- 01-05becomes 01-10.

Quality modules are not damaged,but temporarily lose a grade ofquality instead. This does not effectthe number of modules they takeup.

NotableManufactories

DynaTech

A Human/Anlayis companybased on Veraya, DynaTechspecializes in designing state-of-the-art computerised weaponsystems as well as a wellestablished reputation forpushing the acceptable limits ofVI technology.

DynaTech equipment have afumble and open range twopoints higher than normal (01-05becomes 01-07 and 96-00becomes 94-00).

Additionally, you can ignore halfthe penalty to a skill or attackfrom a single source with acomputers check with adifficulty equal to the opponentsdefence or the normal difficultyof the check. This featurerequires a HUD to activate incombat.

Cost: 2x normal cost

Reaving

More religious than corporate,this Caius-owned manufactorytakes quality very seriously,putting out weapons on a case-by-case basis, and threatens itsemployees with corporalpunishment for poor work. Thisunusual setup appears to work,

for it produces reliable weaponsof the very highest quality everytime.

Reaving weapons have a fumble onepoint lower than normal.

Additionally, Reaving weapons reloadone action faster than normal (becomingpassive if already one action), and neversuffer a Break or Explodes result on afumble. Replace such a result with Jam.

All this reliability comes at a cost,however, as the heavy components slowthe wielder somewhat, applying a -5penalty to speed.

Cost: 2x normal cost

Nightborn IndustriesA Yed-ig consortium of considerableinfluence, Nightborn specialize in covertoperations, and their equipmentdemonstrate their mastery of subterfuge.


55/122

Nightborn weapons have very littlemuzzle flash or weapon trail.Attempts to detect their presencehave their difficulty increased bytwo steps.

Additionally, the final damage ofthe weapon is increased by 50%against an opponent who does notknow where the wielder is.

Nightborn armour improves StealthFields, increasing the difficulty tospot them by one grade, andattempts to use the Hide or Stealthskills normally receive a +20 bonusper grade of quality.

Cost: 4x

SynTale Masters GuildInnovation and perfection is themantra of SynTale, a Glaadesociety dedicated to designing theperfect weapon. They do not

take just any commission, and theirpride in their work evinces itself inevery piece they produce.

SynTale weapons always possessthe Precise quality, and increase theopen range of any

weapon by 1 per grade of mastery thewielder possesses in that weapongroup.

Cost: 6x

VanquisherWhen the excrement hits the engineexhaust, youll wish you had aVanquisher.

Made notorious by a popular action-vid featuring a hard-bitten Karrandetective sharing his culture withother aliens, Vanquisher weaponsmake up for what they lack insubtlety in sheer firepower.

Vanquisher firearms apply a 1m blastradius to their ammunition. If theweapon already has a blast radius, itincreases by 50%.

Vanquisher weapons apply a +5bonus to base damage per grade ofquality.

All that firepower makes Vanquisherweapons unwieldy however, andthey suffer a +1 penalty to theirRequired Strength.

Purchasing ManufactoryEquipment

Difficult to come by, Manufactoryequipment often fetches a high price onworlds far from their place of origin.

On the planet of origin, a Manufactoryobject costs the same for purposes ofavailability.

In the system of origin, a Manufactoryobject costs double for the purposes of

availability and the cost multiplier isincreased by 1.

In the sector of origin, a Manufactoryobject costs quadruple for the purposesof availability, and the cost multiplieris increased by 2.

Otherwise, a Manufactory object coststen times its usual amount for the

purposes of availability, and the costmultiplier is increased by 4.

It is common for manufactoryequipment to be of an exceedingly highquality. You do not multiply themanufactory cost increase by qualitymultipliers, you simply add themultipliers arithmetically. For example,

a +5 quality DynaTech weapon wouldcost 22x the weapons normal price.

It is not possible to stackManufactory modifiers together ona single item, though you may useseparate equipment from differentmanufactories together.

Fumbles

When making a fumble with an attackroll while using a firearm, there is thechance that the weapon can jam,break, or even worse- explode. Whenfumbling with a firearm, consult thefollowing table.

Jam41-60

As Normal01-40

Break61-80

Explode81-00

EffectFumble Result

Jam

A Jammed weapon cannot fire until it

is fixed. You must make a repair checkof moderate difficulty to unjam it.Remember that Combat modifiers tothis check may apply in challengingcircumstances. Unjamming a weapontakes an action per attempt.

Break

A crucial component in the weapon

overheats and breaks, leaving theweapon useless.

Fixing a break requires componentsworth 1/10th the cost of the weapon(taking into account any qualitymultipliers) and a difficult repaircheck, increasing in difficulty onegrade per grade of quality.

A weapon can be repaired withlower quality components, butfunctions at the lower quality untilproper replacements are found.

Explode

An explosive component overheatsand explodes, showering the wielderwith heated shrapnel.

The weapon explodes as if it were an

overloaded power source in thewielders hands. Its attack isconsidered to be Absurd (180).

As you might expect, the weapon isruined after an explode result.

A weapon may be rigged to jam,break or explode the first time it isused with a moderate repair

check, increasing in difficulty onegrade per grade of quality.

Additional WeaponsRules

The physical AT of allarchaic armour (pre-

modern) is halved againstattacks made by firearms.

Fully Automatic weaponscan attack a number ofmetres up to 1/3 theirmaximum clip size in a lineas a Full Automatic attack,attacking everything withinthat arc. The attack is madeat a -40 penalty and costshalf the maximum clip sizein ammunition. Everythingstepping into that arcduring that turn is alsoattacked at the samepenalty.

Weapons whose Strength is

higher than the strength ofthe enemy hit may knocktheir target over. In such acase, both weapon andenemy must make anopposed strength test.

If the weapon beats thetarget by 3 or more, the

opponent is knockedprone.

If the weapon beats thetarget by 6 or more, theopponent is knocked flyingback a number of metresequal to the amount theyfailed by, then falls prone.

The weapon must have hit and causeddamage, and suffers a -3 to this test if it didless than 100% damage.

Knockback weapons always incur this test,regardless of strength, and grant a +2 bonusto the weapons result.

Reloading

Every projectile-based weapon has a set clipsize, after which the character must reload.Reloading time depends on the range of theweapon:

Short 1 Active Actions

Modifying Armour

In addition to enhancing armour withtechnology points, you may alsoimprove a single AT of your choicefor each 10 points of additionalrequirement. This increases the cost

of the armour as normal. If thisenhancement occurs after the armourhas already been paid for, you mustpay the difference between thecurrent and improved armour.

Damage Barrier

Your damage barrier in armour isyour modified AT x10 against theweapon used, rather than a setnumber.

Costs

Generally speaking, armour costs therequirement to wear it squared incredits, though circumstances mayalter the price.

Additional Rules

If your wear armour skill is lowerthan the requirements of the armour,you take the difference as a penalty toall physical actions, includinginitiative.

You may no longer stack armour,

unless you naturally possess it, inwhich case the lower AT ishalved and added to the total.


66/122

Vehicles

For non-space faring adventures,characters may need to travel byland, air or sea. Fortunately, vehiclesare here to get them where theywant to go.

Vehicles are treated as beingstarships for the purposes of life-points and AT, although theminimum size of a vehicle is muchlower, allowing for evenMediumsize vehicles such as bicycles.

Factors such as air-resistance, gripand poor manoeuvrability canhamper a drivers ability to avoidattacks, however, causing them to bemore vulnerable in combat thanstarships.

The pilot/driver therefore, takes thefollowing penalty depending on themedium travelled.

Super-Heavy Armour

Lying somewhere between heavyarmour and Mecha class, super-heavy armour or Tactical

Battlesuits enable the mostexperienced and well-off soldiersthe same kind of protection asbeing behind six feet of steel.Many sport exotic abilities anddefences, such as protective force-fields, radar and power-assistance, but their prohibitivecost in both training to use and

expensive components leavethem out of the reach of theordinary soldier.

Any armour with a Wear Armourrequirement of more than 200,unmodified by training modulesis classified as Super-HeavyArmour.

Being Super-Heavy has a numberof benefits and restrictions.

Penalties:

The character using Super-HeavyArmour suffers a -40 penalty toinitiative and any secondary skillthat would be affected by Natural

Penalty in the Core Rulebook.Similarly, the character suffers a -2 penalty to movement speed.

Neither penalty can be reducedby virtue of the characters WearArmour.

Benefits:

Characters wearing super-heavy armourare more difficult to knock over or trip.They receive half their impact AT as abonus against such tests.

Characters wearing super-heavy armourno longer have a vulnerable point.Attacks against the head or heart aretreated as if they were normal attacks.

Additionally, half of the Damage Barrierthey receive against conventional attacksnow applies against attacks that ignore it(such as energy weapons or ATreduction weapons).
