Hello Colony Alpha! We’ve been working hard on some new mechanics and updates to some of our rules the last few months. We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback and we certainly appreciate it, so keep it coming!

New Stuff!

The Electrokinetic path has been released! See the Knowledges, Skills, and Weapons Lists page for more information.

Game Mechanics Updates

  • Thieving Rules have been added. Please visit the Thieving section for more details.
  • Medkits require injury tokens. Rules have been updated to reflect this requirement. See the Life, Injury, & Death section for more details.
  • Ammo Cards are now provided to track ammo. Please see Firearms of the Future.
  • Generic hacking commands have been added to the Hacking page.
  • Death count healing skills now no longer cost FOC or PRE to use. See specific skills for additional information.
  • Salvage has been renamed to Scavenge for clarification purposes. Mechanics have not been affected.

Skill Updates

  • Aim (1, 2, 3, and 4)
    • Description updated to clarify the amount of damage being dealt. Aim inflicts 3 body damage, not +3 body damage.
    • Prerequisites have been added for clarification.
  • Pain Stun (Biokinesis)
    • Renamed to Pain Touch so it is not confused with the Stun mechanic.
  • Critical Strike 3 and 5
    • Descriptions updated to clarify the amount of damage being dealt. Both now do either 3 or 5 damage, not +3 or +5 damage.
  • Rapid Strike
    • Description updated to clarify the amount of damage dealt. Rapid strike causes 3 damage or 3 body based on the source of the attack.
  • Strength Rush
    • Added 2 minute time limit.
  • Stun (keyword)
    • Updated Stun definition. Dispatch will not work on Stunned characters.
  • Stun Touch (Biokinesis)
    • Amended description with skill fluff. See skill descriptions for more info.
  • Sucker Punch
    • Sucker Punch has been renamed to Cheap Shot. Mechanics have not changed.
  • Tracking Evasion
    • Tracking Evasion has been renamed to Conceal Tracks and has been made continuous.
    • New Description: The character knows how to avoid making tracks in the wilderness. When using this skill he/she cannot be followed using the skill Tracking. This does not stop the character from being spotted visually.
