So 20 is YOUR max, huh? Not mine!
Exceptional Training
You’re honed your body or your mind to beyond the peak of mortal perfection. Gain the following benefits:
Thoughts?
If you can stand tall, you can also fall quick.
Weak in the Knees
Bonus: 3 karma
When you take a hit, you don’t get to choose to take a dive-you just do it automatically. You’re a lightweight when it comes to taking a hit, falling more times than Glass Jaw Joe. When determining if you are knocked down from a strike, divide your physical limit by 2 (rounding down, minimum 1). You automatically are knocked down if you take five damage.

Digging deep into the SR rules lately. Here’s one to keep that troll up longer when he takes a missile to the chest.
Stand Tall
Cost: 3 karma
You take a licking and keep on ticking! When you take damage, you are not knocked down until you take double your physical limit in damage. You are also not automatically knocked down if you take 10 damage.
Thoughts?
I see a lot of builds out there for two weapon fighters. Let’s build on that.
Escalating Assault
You are a master of multiple strikes making each more painful than the last. Each time you attack with a melee weapon, do damage, and are able to add your strength modifier to the damage, increase the damage by the number of times your successfully damaged the target. As an example, your second attack would do double damage, your third would do triple, and so on.
Thoughts?
You can’t heal stun from a Medkit. Some people would like too. Let’s work on that.
Medic Magic
Cost: 7 karma
You were the kind of kid who always had to get a band-aid when you scuffed your knee. Now as an adult, it hasn’t really gotten better. When you use a medkit to heal damage, you can choose to heal physical or stun damage. If you choose stun, you heal half as many boxes of damage as the kit is not designed to heal that kind of damage. The normal amount of medkit reagents are used when you heal however.
Thoughts?
Let’s keep building of the small unit tactics idea. What if you could double up on the abilities?
Dual Training
Cost: 5 karma
You don’t do anything by halves. You don’t work small scale. You like your cake, and you want to eat it too. When you do a small unit tactics test, you can, in the same free action, name two different abilities. You can make your small unit tactics test as normal, but the needed successes is the sum of both selected abilities. Only other characters with this same quality can assist with your small unit tactics test, but characters without this quality can benefit from its result. If you don’t get the needed successes of both abilities, neither triggers.
Thoughts?
Been reading Run and Gun for a few missions. I think small unit tactics don’t get enough love. Let’s add some bonuses to that.
Tactics Training
Cost: 10 Karma
You drill, then you drill, and then….you drill some more! After 10,000 thousand times doing the same thing again, you MIGHT just not screw it up! When you are effected by a bonus from a small unit tactics ability, increase the bonus by 1, or increase any penalties the enemy is affected by by 1.
Thoughts?
You know why haflings are horrible thieves? 10 foot poll is three size categories larger than them! How they going to get this anywhere? Let’s fix that.
Collapsible Poll
Cost: 20 gp
A 10 lb iron poll. that collapses into a one foot dowel. It takes an action to extend the poll. It ways enough when swung at a foot pad to set it off with the weight of an average medium creature.
Thoughts?
I love me some Control Thoughts/ Mob Mind spells, but sometimes you have to be a bit more subtle. Let’s work on that.
Post Hypnotic Suggestion
(Mental)_______________
Type: M Range:1 meter
Duration: S Drain: F+2
Soap Box
(Mental)_________________
Type: M Range:20 Meters centered around you
Duration: S Drain: F+4
As you cast the spell you subtlety suggest one action for your target(s) to take, but they believe the idea is completely their own. This spell is especially taxing, but is unnoticeable by anyone who is not watching astraly as those creatures will notice the spell being cast.
Post Hypnotic Suggestion affects a single target while Soap Box affects a group of targets. The target(s) will perform the action, will not remember the action, but will not suspect the action is out of character if you sustained the spell until the action is over. After the action is completed, you can stop sustaining the spell and the target(s) will still not remember the action or think it out of character is brought to the target(s) attention. If you stop sustaining the spell, and the action is not completed, the target will stop the action and return to normal activity.
I remember the olden days when DC’s were based on 10 instead of eight… let’s fix that!
Magic Mastery
You are a master magician. The DC for all your spell’s is now 10+ proficiency + your spell casting ability modifier.
