9MM M92F BERETTA.
The standard sidearm of the S.T.A.R.S., the M92F is a reliable piece of kit, though really
is no match for any of the more powerful creations of Umbrella. Firing 9mm rounds,
this weapon can use a variety of bullet types, from standard and armour piercing to
hollow points and enhanced rounds, and can hold up to fifteen rounds in a clip.
Available on the streets for an extremely low price, the renegade S.T.A.R.S. team is still
able to acquire numerous pieces from less legal sources.

SAMURAI EDGE CUSTOM M92F BERETTA.

An enhancement on the standard design of the M92F, the Samurai Edge was the
brainchild of Barry Burton, and he had a few models made by Kendo Gunsmiths before
the whole Raccoon incident. The front of the barrel has been extended slightly,
increasing stability and enabling the gun to be fired in rapid succession. This allows
three shots to be fired without any penalty being incurred. Because the design for this
was lost in the destruction of Raccoon, the weapon is hard to come by, and Barry may
be the only one who actually has one.

INGRAM M-10 (HEAVY SILENCER AND LARGE CAPACITY DRUM MAGAZINE)
Also known as the MAC-10, this weapon was first introduced in the 1970s, and is
known for its durability. The major drawback with this particular weapon is the lack of
control when firing in bursts, as the trigger allows only full-automatic firing. Practice
is required to do a three-shot burst, and single shots are hard for all but the most
skilled shooter. Their muzzles are threaded to take suppressors, though these are
extremely hard to obtain legally.

H&K MP5 (+1 TARGETING IF FORE GRIP ATTACHED, +2 TARGETING IF SCOPE ATTACHED)
The MP5 is one of the most well known submachine guns, and comes in a seemingly
infinite incarnations and configurations, with a massive catalogue of additions and
attachments to add on. These are used by most western military special operation
units, and the UBCS are no different, using this weapon as a light assault/ support
weapon. The STARSMOD H&K MP5 is a STARS modification of this classic and reliable
police weapon. STARS has taken the venerable MP5 9mm submachine gun and have
heavily tinkered with the weapon, beyond even what most SWAT teams have been able
to do. Every STARS MP5 is the common fixed stock version of the weapon, but has been
modified with a flashlight front grip, custom rubberised pistol grip, black matte nonreflective finish, and universal accessory rail that can mount anything from laser
illuminators to night vision sights to red dot reflex sights. Most weapons are
customised further by individual STARS units (by armorers like Barry Burton) and
much like the STARSMOD M-16 (see below) there is no "typical" STARSMOD MP5.

STARSMOD SF-16/SF-16S RIFLE

The STARS modified version of the M-16 rifle meant to be a compromise between an
assault weapon and a tactical marksman weapon and usually issued to both types of
operatives. The weapon was designed from the normal M-16 and included a shortened
hand guard and barrel for better manoeuvrability, then a vertical front grip, was
attached to aid controllability, and a 3x optical scope is attached to the grooved
universal sight rail replacing the normal M-16 hand guard. Combined with single shot
and full automatic fire capabilities and after market plastic and polymer parts this
weapon is light, deadly and popular with STARS field operatives. The SF-16S is an
upgraded snipers version that includes a universal bipod mount and slide-on/fold-down
bipod attached to the barrel. Its worth pointing out that no two of these weapons is
the same; each is tailored for its individual user. A "typical" STARS SF-16 however
includes a double set of magazines (for easy reloading), sling, upgraded or custom grip,
mounted hand grip flashlight for entry operatives, and for snipers usually an upgraded

XM-214 UBCS-MOD MICROGUN GATLING GUN
!
The XM-214 Microgun is a rapid-firing heavy machine gun that uses 5.56 ammunition
and can go through 10,000 rounds in less than 2 minutes at full firing capability.
Despite the images in movies, the Microgun, its power source and ammo is far too
heavy to be carried by one man, and much too strong to be fired as such. This problem
has been looked into by Umbrellas Tech-boys, and the UBCS-MOD was invented.
Requiring two men to use it, one to carry the gun itself and another to carry the ammo
and battery packs, the rate of fire has been decreased to a humble 3000 rounds per
minute, and the heavy recoil countered by a large sticker on the gun itself, warning to
brace against a solid wall before opening fire. This weapon can only be fired in
Suppressive and Rock N Roll firing modes.

PARTICLE BEAM RIFLE

Designed with the TG Virus in mind, the Particle Beam Rifle fires a cluster of three
shots for each depression of the firing button: These bolts then attack the virus of their
target at a molecular level, weakening and eventually killing off the virus and its
carrier. Though this weapon has passed its testing stage, it is still expensive to
produce, hard to come by, and only affects creatures with the TG Virus in their blood.

SPECIAL AMMO TYPES:

The fight against Umbrella inc. will need the use of various different
type of Ammunition, many of which are unique and can be found only on
Umbrella premisses. Others can be made by people with enough know-how to
modify and customise ammunition. The following list is by no means
definitive.
GRENADES:
40 mm Grenades are the staple of the Umbrella armoury, and are readily available
within most Umbrella institutions. Used for both offensive and defensive work, they
also come in a smaller, 20 mm version (halve all area of effect figures and multipliers to
nearest whole figure, rounded up).
40mm grenades can be used in the MM1-Grenade Launcher, HK-P Grenade Launcher,
and most under slung grenade launchers on assault rifles. The 20mm grenades can be
used in most 20mm cannons, Umbrellas Ainsley-mod grenade launcher.

green cloud from a cracked shell spreads out for 20 yards in
all directions, and any creature caught in the cloud must
make a difficult constitution roll for every turn in the gas. A
failure will result in the loss of 12 DPs. Once only a quarter
or less of the creature's original body points are remaining,
the creature will drop to the floor in a coma-like state. In this
state, the creature will lose 12 points automatically, without
making a role, until the gas either clears, or the carrier dies.
The gas lasts for D8 turns.

A type of 40 mm grenade round filled with liquid nitrogen,

the Ice Grenade is a deadly weapon. Upon contact with it's
target, it breaks open with a small explosive charge. This
isn't what does the damage, however. The liquid nitrogen
then covers everything in ground zero with the chemical,
which automatically freezes them for D10 (5) turns. 2
successful hits of 20 or more on the afflicted creature(s)
shatters them. Frozen creatures have a temporary armour
value of D6 +2(5), and all strength attributes such as Genetic
Manmade Strength and Damage Resistance still take effect,
but all levels of Flame Resistance are ignored, and fire
damage is doubled.

Filled with Umbrellas DNA-Splicing acid, these were

developed purely for carrier-control. When the target is hit,
they receive D8 x 2 (8) blunt damage as the shell impacts on
them. It has no splash damage, no blast radius, all it does is
break open and give anything within the blast radius a
liberal dousing of the acid. This inflicts D12 x 3 (18) points
of CHEMICAL damage per turn, and lasts for D4+1 (3) turns.
This affects ANY organic target.
MISSILES & ROCKETS:
Most of Umbrellas more powerful creatures can take a massive amount of damage, and
are practically impossible to put down with standard weapons. For this reason, many
of Umbrellas facilities and armed forces have a cache of heavy ordinance for a spillage
or containment breeches. There are different types of rockets, the three main types of
which are listed here, though they are by no means the only ones available = different
situations call for different warheads.
Because of their size and shape, each missile has its own encumbrance value, and are
incredibly hard to find, unless you know where to look for one. The missiles can be used
with and and all rocket or missile launchers.

ENHANCED 9MM ROUNDS.
Created and designed by master weapons expert Barry Burton, the Enhanced 9mm
Rounds have characteristics of both armour piercing and hollow point rounds. Made
from specialist materials, the round penetrates armour, then fragments after
penetration, maximising internal damage.
Maintaining the same damage as a standard 9mm round, this round halves all armour
values, then trebles the internal damage. Only skilled craftsmen with any Gun skill at
level 4 or above, or the Gunsmith craft of level 3 or above can create these rounds with
the help of Barry Burton, or with a copy of his journal which details the process.

ENHANCED 5.56MM/ 7.62mm ROUNDS.
The third and final brainchild of Burton, the enhanced 5.56mm an 7.62mm round
requires greater smithing skills (Gunsmith +4), and entails adding a small amount of
phosphor to the tip of the bullet. Although this creates a tracer-effect amongst the
bullets, it also inflicts extra fire damage after armour penetration, making is possible to
deliver small amounts of fire-damage over a distance greater than the range of a
normal flame-thrower.

Miscellaneous.
MEDICAL BACKPACK
Carried as standard by all S.T.A.R.S. medics, the medical backpack is a hard case worn
on the back, supported by two straps of webbing. Armoured and packaged in such a way
that it protects its contents from sharp bumps and knocks, it holds: 2 splints, a 12
ounce tank of oxygen and breathing mask, a penlight, 2 pairs of medical scissors, 4
clamps, 2 scalpels, 6 large bandages, 8 medium bandages and 20 small. The pack in
total weighs about 15 pounds.
Research submitted by Evin.
MEDICAL SIDE PACK
Also carried as standard by medics, the medical side pack is a canvas bag that hangs
from the hip of the medic, and doesnt protect the contents much from bumps and
knocks, though they themselves are protected by anti-shock casing. It contains: 20
syringes, 2 ampoules of morphine, 3 ampoules of anti-venom, 8 ampoules of light pain
killers, 2 ampoules of tranquillisers, five packets of aspirin (2 per pack) and 4 ampoules
of hospital-strength antihistamine. It weights about five pounds.
Research submitted by Evin.
FIRST AID SPRAY
One of the more useful products of Umbrella Inc., this wonder spray offers a +4 medical
bonus if used by someone with skills in First Aid, or +2 if used by someone without. It
offers four health points per success level.
As it is also an aerosol, this can also be used as an improvised weapon if used in
conjunction with a lighter. Using the Guns (Flame thrower) skill, or the closest skill to
that with the appropriate improvised weaponry modifier, it can inflict D8 fire damage
with a maximum range of 2 feet. It holds enough chemicals for either one medical use,
or thirty seconds worth of flame thrower usage. If used as a weapon, it must be used in
bursts, otherwise the can may explode and cause damage as following.
GROUND ZERO:
1 YARD = D8X4
GENERAL AREA: 2 YARDS = D8 X 2
MAXIMUM RANGE: 3 YARDS = D8
GREEN HERB
This herb, originally native to the Raccoon area, has been used and researched by
Umbrella for quite some time. Intrigued by the herbs ability to help the healing process,
the extract of this has been detrimental in many of the less illegal projects, and as such
became the base ingredient for the first aid spray.
This herb adds a +1 to all medical tasks, and +3 if used by someone with skills in
Alternative Medicines. For each success level gained during use, it heals 2 life points. It
can be used with other herb types to produce different effects.
RED HERB
This herb on its own is nothing remarkable and merely leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
BEN BLACK

PAGE 176

Mixing it with other herbs, however, increases their potency. By mixing it with a green
herb (using a hard Intelligence roll or an Intelligence and Alternative Medicine roll) it
can add +4 to healing tasks, and increases life points by 5 points per success level.
BLUE HERB
This herb offers no healing powers on its own, though when ingested it does reduce the
effects of poison by one level per success level. It can be mixed with either a green herb,
or a premixed red and green herb. The same mixing rules as above must be used.
e.g.. Rebecca finds Chris after an encounter with a Sweeper. He suffered a flesh
wound of 10 life points, and was unlucky enough to be infected with it's poison.
Rebecca has a green and blue herb, which she has previously mixed together, and
tries to heal him with it. She makes a roll, and with all relevant modifications she
receives a score of 12, which is the equivalent of 2 success levels.
She applies the balm, heals four life points, and reduces the poison level from 3 to
1.
KEYCARDS
Umbrella Inc. is divided into many different sections and departments, and each area
needs its own relevant keycard. These are entrusted to various different members of the
Umbrella hierarchy, who then distribute and assess security clearance within their
own supervisory field. Electronic card locks can be bypassed, though doing so incurs a
9 modifier due to the high security, and must be attempted with the correct tools. A
failure will result in a breach of security, alerting security forces to the location of the
group. This will also lock down all electronic locks on that floor, and an alternative
method needs to be found around the door.
Terminals can only be accessed with cards, too, although these also need passwords,
user names and log-in details. It is highly unlikely that keycards will be turned over
willingly, and the same goes for passwords. Umbrella Inc. employees know that if they
are seen to be handing over such sensitive material then their fate will be worse than
death, and so threats of violence rarely come up with the goods.
Keycards normally need to be obtained by theft, killing, plucking them from a mutant
creatures meal, or a mutant itself, while passwords often need to be decoded.
FLASH NAPALM GRENADES
The Flash Napalm Grenade is a small and complex device, designed solely to maximise
damage at ground zero, and minimise any splash damage. Once primed, the timer on
the grenade lasts five seconds, though detonation can be instigated with a single
gunshot (-4 to target). This makes the Flash Grenade ideal for cramming into rock
fissures to open small caves, or pushing into the mouth or other orifice of an attacking
creature.
Doing this requires a simple resisted strength task, and a clear path to a suitable
orifice. Upon succession, the grenade can be set and placed in the opening, giving the
character five seconds to back away out the blast zone. A failed attempt results in the
creature winning the grapple, and seizing the player, forcing him to drop the grenade.
It then tumbles to the ground, where it can cause massive trauma to the lower
extremities.
GROUND ZERO:
0.5 FEET = D10 X 5 + 10 (35)
GENERAL AREA: 3 FEET = D8 X 3
MAXIMUM RANGE: 5 FEET = D4
BEN BLACK

STUN GUNS
When engaged in a grapple with an enemy, the player can conduct a hard dexterity test.
If won, and if in possession of an active Stun Gun, the player will be able to draw it and
press the contacts to the head of the assailant. This causes D10 + 5 damage, and
instantly scrambles any brain functions, dropping the attacker for D4(2) turns. This
takes small battery packs, and each pack holds enough charge for 3 uses.
SELF DEFENCE DAGGERS
Normally found in packs of three, Self Defence Daggers are similar in many ways to an
ice pick: long, with a rounded handle and a sharp point instead of a blade. This point
enables the weapon to be sunk into the flesh of an adversary with relative ease.
To use one of these weapons, the character and his victim must go to engage in a
grapple (resisted strength task). Instead of the character using strength, he will
actually use dexterity and brawling this enables the player to draw one of the daggers
and sink it into the skull of the attacker, inflicting D6 X STRENGTH to the head
particularly handy for a zombie attack.

modification and ammunition, this book also contains all the files and information that

BEN BLACK

PAGE 178

CREATURE ATTRIBUTES:
STRENGTHS:
GENETIC MANMADE STRENGTH +12
This STRENGTH aspect increases a zombie's strength, as well as making their body
harder to destroy. Giving the creature a strength of 10 (ten), it also gives the creature a
natural armour, effectively halves the value of all physical damage dealt to the creature.
When used in conjunction with the DAMAGE RESISTANCE aspect, this effectively
quarters the damage that is dealt to the creature.
e.g. Barry Burton fires his .357 at the Neo-Tyrant. He scores a hit of 40 to it's left arm,
but because of it's Manmade Genetic Strength, and it's Damage Resistance aspects, it
only takes 10 dead points of damage. Not enough to sever the limb.
SPREADING THE LOVE:
PIERCING TENDRIL 0
A unique method of spreading infection employed only by the Nemesis, this is a flesh
appendage that snaps out from it's wrist and attacks with a purple tendril. This must be
attempted to dodge with a hard dexterity task, or a hard dexterity with any dodge/
martial arts technique. If the victim fails in this, then the Zombie Master must roll a
D12 to see how much damage is inflicted in this piercing attack - take any armour into
consideration with this attack, and if any damage is inflected, then the victim must
take a constitution test every three hours to see whether he or she sinks closer to
becoming one of the undead (constitution is hard, but will take into consideration the
resistance: disease aspect). With each failure to roll, 10 life points are lost and the
players maximum endurance is divided by three. After a third constitution test failure,
the player sits down and rests, and all systems shut down while this happen, turning
the victim into a zombie. This expends 20 essence points.
BABYSITTER: POW +3
Another example of Spreading The Love, the Babysitter aspect is given to a creature
that, although can not directly infect others itself, can create spawn at the cost of 3
essence points each that can spread the infection themselves.
THIS IS MY BODY -2
This example of SPREADING THE LOVE needs the carrier to force a piece of it's flesh
into the body of the intended host: This is normally achieved by entrance through the
mouth, though keep in mind the body has more than one orifice (!). Once inside, the
flesh releases the virus it's infected with, which slowly begins to infect the host in one
of two ways:
1: If the host is of the same DNA line as the carrier (e.g. parent, sibling, child, etc), then
she begins to undergo transformation to the first stage of the G-Virus carriers.
2: The body expels the virulent piece of transmutated meat, normally through a bloody
and traumatic procedure. This expelled piece of meat then goes on to evolve into the GImago creature
BEN BLACK

PAGE 179

INTELLIGENCE:
HIVEMIND +20
A hivemind culture holds together the forces of the T-Virus leeches, allowing them to
work completely in synchronisation with one another. What one Leech can see or hear,
each and every other Leech sees or hears. Because of this unspoken communication, the
Leeches can perfectly form towering structures such as the Leech Zombies, or even the
Leach Queen. This gives both Leeches and creatures alike an Intelligence of 4, and
includes tool use and language, as well as problem solving. This all comes from the
original source of the Leeches, Doctor Marcus.
WEAKNESS:
ELECTRICITY +3
When hindered with this weak spot, electrical attacks are the only sure-fire way of
inflicting damage on the creature in question, whether from heavy-duty weapons like
the Sparkshot or Particle Beam Cannon, to exposed loose wires or overloading
generators. Damage taken from electrical sources are doubled, and damage taken over
20 in a single blow then they are stunned for D4(2) turns.
SUNLIGHT 0
This weak spot causes the body of the creature to bust into flames when exposed to
natural sunlight. This causes D10(5) damage per turn exposed to sunlight, regardless
of any armoured hide or other special strengths the creature may posses. When in this
vulnerable state, all attacks to the creature do double damage.
SPECIAL:
POISON SPRAY: POW +1 PER LEVEL
This enables the creature in question to spray a mild poison (level 1) over a distance of
Constitution x Power Level yards/ meters.
POISON DUST: POW +2 PER LEVEL
This aspect is similar to Poison Touch, though instead of having to come into contact
with the intended target, they merely need to pass within 1 meter/yard, coating the
target with a fine spray of toxin that is quickly absorbed through the pores in the skin.
This type of poison is reduced by one level for every (D10-CONSTITUTION) turn(s)
until it has been flushed from the system.
POISON TOUCH +2 PER POISON LEVEL
This particular special ability lends a diseased touch to the creature, enabling it to
infect its target with a special corrosive poison. If more than 20 points of damage are
incurred in a single blow, then the injured character is infected with corrosive poison
relevant to the level of the power. This damages the player twice every half hour for a
day, or medical aid is sought.
Regardless of the level this power is bought at, upon infection it also inflicts a mild Flulike bacterium into the system. Also lasting for a day, this reduces Endurance by one
third and imposes -1 to all Tasks during that 24 hour period. Unlike the poison, this
can not be cured, and it must be burned off naturally.
eg. The Sweeper has Poison Touch (power +6 - Poison Level 3), and inflicts 25
points of damage to Chris. For every half hour he is infected, he looses D6(3) life
points, unless someone in his team can administer an anti venom or something
BEN BLACK

PAGE 180

that can reduce the effect of the poison. He breaks out in a sweat, and his
performance is hindered by the side effects of the poison respectively.
ARMOURED CARAPACE: POW +10
Much like an upgrade to the Armoured Hide aspect. Because of the construction of this
armour, it is normally employed on powerful insectile species that are well protected,
and also very flexible. This adds an armour bonus D8 +10 (14), and again, doesnt
hinder the creatures movement.
ARMOURED HIDE +6
Nature has blessed this creature with a toughened hide, forming a natural armoured
shell which protects it from harm. Armoured Hide adds an armour bonus of D6+5(8) to
each defensive roll, because it is natural and part of the evolutionary scale, it doesnt
incur any encumbrance penalties.
CHOMP +3
Possessed by creatures with a massive mouth, this special power allows the creature to
dislocate its own jaw and envelop its target prey with its salivating maw.
By expending 12 essence points, then rolling a difficult dexterity test, a successful role
allows the creature to open wide and cause D12xSTR damage. Even if the role is failed,
the essence points are still used up, and there must be a gap of at least two turns while
this creature unhinges its jaw. It is particularly vulnerable at that point.
CHAMELEON +6
This aspect is added to the creature at an early infancy stage by introducing chameleon
cells mutated by the T-Virus into the gene pool. Requiring a simple willpower test, the
creature can turn invisible at will, and move around unnoticed. This skill grants the
creature the Stealth skill at +4, which aids the creature in avoiding detection.
This can be detected by a resisted Perception task, taking all relative modifiers into
account. The main drawback of this power is, when in use, any sudden lighting changes
distract the creature, such as explosions or flickering lights. Should they wander into
this kind of situation, a difficult willpower test must be made to stay blended in. A
failure results in the creature stunned for D4 turns as it tries to cope with the changes.
During this time, it is visible to the naked eye.
Chameleon does not protect the creature from infrared vision or motion-sensitive
devices.
SUBSTANCE +8
By tapping into the latent psychic abilities that the T-Veronica virus has awakened,
Alexia is able to communicate with the environment around her, moulding and bending
it to do her willing, bringing forth a long tendril of inert material into existence to do
her bidding. Because of the power it takes to do this, only two can be summoned at once.
Each tendril can absorb 30 points of damage (normal piercing/ bullet damage rules
apply), before ceasing to exist, and can attack for D4 x 5. Employing this aspect costs
20 essence points, but the tentacles will last indefinitely, either until they are
destroyed, or until Alexia decides they have served their purpose.
Using the Substance skill, Alexia can also break down her own cells and merge with
one of her created tentacles, enabling her to cover great distances in a short period of
time. Doing this costs 50 essence points, and has a range limit of two miles.

ELECTROMAGNETISM (MENTALIST POWER)

The powers of the combined T/G virus bestows the ability to manipulate or control
electrical energy, and in many cases create electrical energy from nothing.
In a similar vein to the Pyrokinesis power, Electromagnetism can create the effects
detailed in the below table. A higher level Strength can be used to create lower level
effect if desired. All abilities require Willpower and Electromagnetism Art tasks. Unlike
Pyrokinesis, all electricity must be spawned at the users location, not in the line of
sight.
1

Creates a spark of electricity which can be hurled up to three yards away.

This can ignite highly flammable material, and causes D4-1 (1) damage to
unprotected skin.

Creates a small Plasma Ball which can be hurled five yards away, and inflicts
D4(2) x (Electromagnetism Strength/2). Damage is Electrical (see below).

Creates a large Plasma Bolt, which can be hurled seven yards and deals D6(3)
x Electromagnetism Strength Damage is Electrical (see below).

Creates a net of lightning over Willpower x 2 yards radius from user,

inflicting D8(4) x (Electromagnetism Strength/2). Damage is Electrical (see
below) and stuns those affected for D4 turns.

An Electromagnetic Pulse is generated by the user, which disables all electric

devices within the area for D12(6) + 3 turns. The range of this attack is
Electromagnetism Strength x 2, and anyone caught in it must attempt an
easy dexterity roll to stay on their feet.

This creates a Electrical Blast, which can be hurled 15 yards away, and
inflicts D10(5) x (Electromagnetism Strength/2). Damage is Electrical (see
below).

7+

At this level, a Necrotic Bolt can be created and hurled 20 yards. As this is a
heavy and draining task, 30 essence points must be used in order to cast this.
It attacks the target for D12(6) Electrical damage. After being hit, the target
must roll a difficult Constitution task every hour, and if this is failed then
D12(6) damage is subtracted again, simulating Necrosis of the flesh. This
continues to happen until appropriate treatment is received. For every 20
damage received, a level of the Attractiveness Attribute is lost.

Electrical damage is treated as normal damage, but if over 20 damage is inflicted at one
time, that person is stunned for D4 (2) turns. Electricity created using this power will
behave like normal electricity once it leaves the hands of the user, heading straight for
a metal object to earth itself. In order to aim this correctly, a simple Willpower roll
must be taken to keep it on track. If this roll is failed, then the electrical discharge hits
the closest metal object and dies.
RESISTING ELECTROMAGNETISM: Characters attacked with Electromagnetic powers can
not resist them, though they can attempt to avoid them using the relative Agility rolls.
ELECTROMAGNETISM DEFENCES: Someone with this power can surround themselves
with an electromagnetic shield. This deflects all melee attacks, as well as any projectile
weaponry such as bullets or arrows. Because of the nature of the shield, it also renders
guided missiles useless against them, and nullifies flame-based attacks. The only way to
BEN BLACK

penetrate the shield is with an electrical-based weapon, such as a sparkshot or the

Particle Beam Rifle. Anyone coming into contact with the shield suffers D4(2) damage,
and is stunned for D4-1(1) turns. This shield is up all the time, and other
Electromagnetic powers can still be used at the same time.
TORSO SKEWER +6
To lash out at a target with its prehensile tongue, the Licker must spend a number of
essence points in order to gather its strength. Doing so requires a roll of a D10 - this
decides how many essence points are used. The result of this roll is then multiplied by
the result of a D6, and then added to ten, giving the damage inflicted in the role.
Damage received in this form is treated as Armour Piercing/ Slashing-Piercing damage.
e.g. Licker rolls a D10, and gets a 5. Five points are deducted from its essence
pool, and then a D6 is rolled, giving a result of 3: Damage inflicted by the Torso Skewer
is 25 (5 x 3 + 10), and five essence points are lost.
Should an essence roll be carried out, and the licker doesnt have enough essence
points to pay for it (A 10 is rolled, but it only has 5 essence points), the Licker loses all
its essence points, fails to make the attack, and loses the shortfall in essence points
from its deadpoints (In this case, it would lose five deadpoints.
CHOMP +3
Possessed by creatures with a massive mouth, this special power allows the creature to
dislocate its own jaw and envelop its target prey with its salivating maw.
By expending 12 essence points, then rolling a difficult dexterity test, a successful role
allows the creature to open wide and cause D12xSTR damage. Even if the role is failed,
the essence points are still used up, and there must be a gap of at least two turns while
this creature unhinges its jaw. It is particularly vulnerable at that point.
QUAKE +8
This ability is a must for any massive subterranean creature. As it burrows, its massive
and powerful muscles disrupt the very ground above it, and if enough creatures are
present then they can create massive structural damage(ZMs discretion).
This ability is automatically employed once for every three turns of movement, and it
calls for a simple DEXTERITY test - a failure in this causes the victims directly about
the creature to fall and lose D4 endurance points. Their loss is also equal to the number
of turns they are stunned for as they try to regain their composure and balance.
A NIGHTMARE TO KILL +20
This is a special power that only manifests itself in a massively powerful and creature,
a bastardisation of various different aspects of different viral strains. This ability adds
an extra one hundred dead points onto the total deadpoints of the creature, making it a
formidable foe to contend with and a must for use of a special Umbrella experimental
weapon.

Qualities, Skills and Drawbacks.

STARS Training Qualities(3 Points):
The STARS are not meant to be regular police officers by any stretch of the word.
Although their exact purpose differs by branch most are designed to be a cross between
detectives, a crime scene investigation unit, and a SWAT or threat response team. As a
result of this highly diverse and specialised job, STARS members are virtually trained
from scratch when they are recruited. Most recruits are told to forget most of their
former police or military training with the exception of some of the more basic thing
they have learned, like firearms handling, and investigative proceedings, and are then
taught according to STARS specifications.
This quality is meant to display the irregular and specialised training that STARS
receive as a recruit. All STARS members must take this quality unless there is a good
and justifiable reason for them not to. This quality when taken confers the following
skills in addition to the ones the Cast Member picks as part of the normal skill buying
process:
Brawling: 1
Gun (SMG): 1
Humanities (Law): 2
Research/Investigation: 1
Science (Forensics): 1
Stealth: 1
Area Knowledge (1 point/ level) (type):
Specific knowledge of a certain area of city, region or other geographically specific area.
This skill includes knowledge of where certain facilities or stores area, where certain
people or groups are likely to be found, and a general history of the area. Easy Int+Area
Knowledge to recall where a major landmarks are, Very Difficult PER+Area Knowledge
to know where to find a little known person in the area.
Espionage/Paramilitary (type):
A catchall skill for training in and knowledge of various espionage, paramilitary, and
intelligence gathering techniques and fields. The Espionage skill can cover everything
from Body guarding/Security to Intelligence Data Analysis. Each field must be taken
separately and there are various specialities within those categories. Note this does not
cover the various physically oriented and related skills inherent within these fields,
merely the training and knowledge of how these skills are used.
This means that someone well versed in body guarding does not automatically have
any skill in firearms, driving (although they will have techniques on driving under
pressure) or any of the commonly related skills, merely the knowledge of how best to
use them in a body guarding situation.
UMBRELLA BIOHAZARD COUNTERMEASURE TRAINING (4 Points) QUALITY:
S.T.A.R.S. arent the only special operation team to receive special training. While
S.T.A.R.S. training concentrates on upholding the law, solving crimes, procedures of
investigation and such, Umbrella concentrates on developing their troops into highly
effective killing machines. This involves advanced firearms training, additional
training in the use of demolition material, hand-to-hand techniques, and tracking their
BEN BLACK

prey. This training is only given to the most advanced of Spill Control officers, where
those ranking Corporal or above are given the opportunity to train.
When this quality is taken, in addition to any skills already taken, the character
automatically gains:
Brawling +1
Demolition +2
Gun (Pistol) +1
Tracking +2
