 INTRODUCTION
This supplement employs the concept of tags to roll randomly for the generation of
alien life forms. Seven categories of tags have been created to accomplish this task:
Base Physiology, Offense, Defense, Senses, Traits, Metabolism, Move.
Each category contains a list of tags that, when combined, will generate an alien creature.

GENERATE AN ALIEN
To generate an alien you must follow these simple steps:

STEP 1
Determine or roll the Group the alien belongs to - Carbon Base type I, Carbon Based
type II, Phosphorus Based, Silicon-Based type I, Silicon-Based type II, Sulfur
Based.
The group provides specific resistances and weaknesses, and suggests the affinity to
specific atmospheres, liquids, and temperatures.

STEP 2
Determine or roll the Base Physiology the alien possesses. The base physiologies are the
following: Arthropoid, Cephalopoid, Fungilike, Humanoid, Insectoid, Plantlike,
Reptiloid, and Xenomorph.
The base physiology determines the base Hit Dice, AC (armor class), Saves, and Size.
In addition, the base physiology suggests how many tags the alien possesses in each
of the six categories: Offense tags (Step 3); Defense tags (Step 4); Sense tags (Step 5);
General tags (Step 6); Metabolism tags (Step 7); Move tags (Step 8).

STEP 3
Determine or roll the Offense tags according to the base physiology. This version of the
alien generator covers 20 offense tags.

STEP 4
Determine or roll the Defense tags according to the base physiology. This version of the
guide covers 17 defense tags.

STEP 5
Determine or roll the Sense tags according to the base physiology. This version of the
guide covers 17 sense tags.

 STEP 6
Determine or roll the General tags according to the base physiology. This version of the
guide covers 29 general tags.

STEP 7
Determine or roll the Metabolism tags according to the base physiology. This version of
the guide covers 23 sense tags.

STEP 8
Determine or roll the Move tags according to the base physiology. This version of the
guide covers 17 move tags.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Once you have determined or rolled group, base physiology, offense, defense, sense,
general, metabolism, and move tags, you can properly define what the alien is and what
the alien can do. Making connections between all the tags is the creative part that leads
to creating a unique alien.

UNINTELLIGENT ALIENS
Unintelligent aliens represent the majority of life forms across the universe. Only under
specific circumstances, an alien life develops a form of intelligence that allows it to
develop technological advancements.
By default, the alien generated will not be intelligent to the point of being able to develop
technology, complex forms of communication, or organize into a true civilization unless
stated otherwise.

INTELLIGENT ALIENS
Sometimes evolution, mutations, and natural selection produces a different being that
is capable of developing a sort of self-awareness that qualifies it as something more than
an ordinary alien life form. At that very moment, the alien becomes an intelligent alien.
Intelligence implies the ability to develop and master technologies.
When rolling to generate an alien life form, some combination of tags will allow an
intelligent alien to be generated. If such an event occurs, the entry of the tag will specify it.

SKILLS
Unintelligent aliens usually employ skills like Exert, Notice, Sneak, Stab or Survive.

 Some tags provide special enhancement to one or more of the skills mentioned above.
On the other side, intelligent aliens can employ all the skills listed in the core rulebook,
that list should include your own homebrew skills.

GROUP
Xenobiologists have encountered many life forms, and they have organized them into
groups to identify them. Four main groups exist to the present day, with each group
representing the main elements that constitute the bricks of that specific life form.
The six main groups are Carbon Based type I, Carbon Based type II, Phosphorus
Based, Silicon-Based type I, Silicon-Based type II, and Sulfur Based.
Each group has specific resistances and weaknesses to certain types of harmful effects or
extreme circumstances due to the nature of their chemistry.

Resistance
An alien with resistance against a particular element or source of damage takes half or
minimum damage from that source.

Weakness
An alien with weakness against a particular element or source of damage takes double
or maximum damage from that source.

Other Special Abilities & Hindrances

An alien may possess other special abilities or hindrances for belonging to a specific life-
form group. Each group entry describes in detail what special ability or hindrance the
alien possesses.

CARBON-BASED type I
Carbon-based type I life forms are the most versatile of all. They are capable of living in a
wide range of environments and can evolve on planets with a wide range of temperature
and atmospheric compositions. However, they require water to evolve and thrive.
Atmosphere: oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Liquid: water.
Temperature: cold, warm, hot.
Resistance: n/a
Weakness: n/a

Carbon-based type II life forms are still more versatile compared to most other groups,
but not as much as carbon-based type I. They are capable of living in a good range
of environments and can evolve on planets with a good range of temperature and
atmospheric compositions. However, they require water to evolve and thrive.
Atmosphere: oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Liquid: water.
Temperature: cold, warm, hot.
Resistance: Cold

PHOSPHORUS BASED
Phosphorus-based life forms evolve in very strict environmental conditions and are the
less widespread life form. The common trait of all these life forms is a high resistance

 to acidic substances and the capacity of breathing atmosphere with a broad spectrum of
nitrogen concentration.
Atmosphere: nitrogen, oxygen.
Liquid: chlorine
Temperature: cold
Resistance: Acid
Weakness: Fire, Light

SILICON BASED type I

Silicon-based type I life forms are usually very ancient life forms, because their main
brick – silicon – requires time to evolve and adapt, at least compared to carbon. These
groups of life forms are usually very resistant to hostile environments. Silicon-based
life forms evolve in a high-pressure environment, especially when the home planet is
warm.
Atmosphere: ammonia, hydrocarbons.
Liquid: ammonia, hydrocarbons.
Temperature: cold, warm.
Resistance: Cold, Electricity
Weakness: n/a
Slow Metabolism: - 2 to armor class.
Sturdy Constitution: + 1 hit points per hit die.

SILICON BASED type II

Silicon-based type II life forms are akin to type I but they tend to evolve at more extreme
conditions than type I. Silicon-based life forms evolve in high-pressure and/or high-
temperature environments.
Atmosphere: ammonia, hydrocarbons, acidic gases.
Liquid: ammonia, hydrocarbons.
Temperature: hot, warm.
Resistance: Heat, Electricity
Weakness: n/a
Slow Metabolism: - 3 to armor class.
Sturdy Constitution: + 2 hit points per hit die.

SULFUR BASED
Sulfur-based life forms have an accelerated chemistry and require a lot of energy to
maintain their metabolism.

 Atmosphere: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Liquid: hydrocarbons.
Temperature: very cold, cold.
Resistance: Cold, Poison
Weakness: Fire, Electricity
Aggressive Life Form: + 2 to hit rolls.
Quick metabolism: + 2 to armor class.

BASE PHYSIOLOGY
Base physiology represents the basic structure that shapes the alien life form. This
supplement arbitrarily considers the existence of eight archetypes of aliens, assuming
that what happened on earth may, in some way, occur on the thousands of exoplanets
existing out there.
The eight base physiology are the followings: Arthropoid, Cephalopoid, Fungilike,
Humanoid, Insectoid, Plantlike, Reptiloid, Xenomorph.
Each base physiology grants basic values to the following statistics: Hit Dice, AC (armor
class), Saves, and Size.
Each base physiology also grants a specific amount of slots in the Offense, Defense,
Sense, General, Metabolism and Move tags.

SIZE, HIT POINTS, AND DAMAGE

Size modifies the number of Hit Points and Damage the alien inflicts by increasing or
reducing the value as follows:
Tiny. Divide by four Hit Points and Damage.
Small. Divide by two Hit Points and Damage.
Medium. Standard.
Large. Multiply by two Hit Points and Damage.
Huge. Multiply by four Hit Points and Damage.

SLOT
In this section, you find how many tags of Offense, Defense, Sense, General, Metabolism
and Move you have to roll to generate an alien. Each tag modifies the base statistics of
the alien and may provide special abilities.

 ARTHROPOID
Arthropoids are characterized by an exoskeleton and multiple pairs of limbs and
appendages. The exoskeleton is usually composed of compounds with chemistry
compatible with the planetary biosphere. Xenobiologists classify this kind of life form
as ancient, but at the same time versatile, with a high mutation rate and adaptability.
The arthropoids prefer to scatter their organs in separated portions of their structure,
instead of centralizing them in a single point.

Base Saves: 15+
Size: 1-3) Tiny; 4-5) Small; 6) Medium
Slots: Offense 1; Defense 2; Sense 1; General 1; Metabolism 2; Move 1

CEPHALOPOID
Cephalopoids are characterized by long limbs and appendages. The main body, in
comparison with the appendages, is smaller. The second trait is a decentralized nervous
system that provides a high degree of control over the appendages. Cephalopoids do not
develop any sort of skeleton, but cases exist where some had to due to natural selection
pressure.
Base Hit Dice: 1 HD
Base AC: 10
Base Saves: 16+
Size: 1) Small; 2) Medium; 3) Large; 4) Huge
Slots: Offense 1; Defense 1; Sense 1; General 1; Metabolism 2; Move 1

FUNGILIKE
Fungilikes are possibly the second step of the evolution of microbial life, and yet they
may attain a sophisticated form of interaction to the point of forming complex life forms.
They usually organize in colonies of microfungi, and their versatility allows them to
adapt to the harshest environmental conditions. They do not form a central nervous
system, but they rather become one as a whole.

11
 HUMANOID
Humanoids are characterized by a main body that usually contains the main metabolic
functions, multiple limbs specialized each with a specialized function and a head that
contains the central nervous system, most of the time the brain. In addition, they develop
an endoskeleton to provide solidity to their physical structure.
Base Hit Dice: 1 HD
Base AC: 10
Base Saves: 15+
Size: 1-2) Small; 3-4) Medium; 5-6) Large
Slots: Offense 1; Defense 1; Sense 1; General 1; Metabolism 1; Move: 1

INSECTOID
Insectoids are characterized by an exoskeleton, symmetric and paired limbs or
appendages, and advanced metabolic functions. They are closely related to arthropoids,
yet the differences are still present. They prefer to centralize their main organs, deputed
to their metabolic functions, in a single section of their body.
Base Hit Dice: 2 HD
Base AC: 12
Base Saves: 15+
Size: 1-4) Tiny; 5-7) Small; 8-9) Medium; 10) Large
Slots: Offense 1; Defense 2; Sense 1; General 1; Metabolism 1; Move: 2

PLANTLIKE
Plantlikes are characterized by their method to produce energy, that is by absorbing
radiations coming from light and transforming them into raw energy to power their
metabolism. Together with the fungilikes, they are the most ancient life form that can
evolve on a planet. They usually rely on fibrous compounds to provide structure and
solidity to their body.

Martyna Biała (Order #38406993)

12
 REPTILOID
Reptiloids are complex life forms and they characterized by symmetric limbs, a central
nervous system localized inside a head, and an exoskeleton. They have a strong muscular
system and a high level of aggressiveness. They may also take the form of a humanoid,
lifting doubts in the xenobiologists community if considering them humanoids or
something else.
Base Hit Dice: 3HD
Base AC: 12
Base Saves: 14+
Size: 1-2) Small; 3-6) Medium
Slots: Offense 2; Defense 1; Sense 1; General 1; Metabolism 2; Move: 1

XENOMORPH
Xenomorph is considered the default category for all those life forms that are hard to
classify into any of the already existing base physiologies. The xenomorphs categorized
so far all share the common trait of being aggressive, dangerous, and with highly
sophisticated metabolic processes. They also possess a high degree of adaptability in the
most hostile environment.

Fungilike. Add the Spores defense slot.
Phosphorus Based. The burst blinds the targets also.
Sulfur Based. The burst deals 2d4 fire damage per hit die instead.

EGG INJECTION
The alien reproduces by injecting eggs into a living host. The eggs grow and hatch, then
the larvae consume the host from the inside. The larvae reduce the constitution score
by 1d3 points every day. When constitution reaches zero, the host dies and 2d10 larvae
sprout from the corpse.
Insectoid. The host loses 1 point of constitution every hour and when the host dies a
swarm of 2d20 larvae sprouts from its body.
Xenomorph. The host loses 1d4 points of constitution every hour; when the host dies
an alien whelp sprouts from its body.

the alien touches a technological device that relies on electricity, the device ceases to
function.
Carbon-Based. Add the Electrocytes offense slot.
Silicon-Based. Add the Photovoltaic offense slot.

FOUL ODOR
The alien produces a nauseating secretion that causes all those within a range of 20
meters to be incapacitated. The victims cannot move, and suffers a -4 penalty to all hit
rolls and skill checks. The nausea lasts for 2d4 rounds; a Physical/Constitution saving
throw negates the effect.
Fungilike. Add the Spores defense slot. Nausea lasts for 2d4 hours.
Plantlike. The nausea lasts for 3d6 hours.

MAGNETIC FIELD
The alien can create a strong magnetic field around its body that extends to a distance
of 20 meters. Ferrous metals are attracted toward the alien, unless the wielder makes

PHEROMONE SECRETION
The alien produces a strong pheromone that can stun anyone who inhales the substance.
The victim must roll a Charisma/Mental saving throw or remain motionless for 1d4
rounds.
Fungilike. The victim falls unconscious for 1d4 hours.

SCALES
A thick layer of scales protects the alien body, granting a +2 bonus to armor class.
Reptiloid. The alien gets a +3 bonus to armor class and +2 hit points per hit die.
