CHAPTER 1: GENOTYPES, CRYPTIC ALLIANCES &DERIVED ATTRIBUTES

SECTION 1: PSYKERS AND THE PSYKER FRIENDS NETWORK

As if there weren’t enough diversity builtinto the Gamma W orld

®Character

Generation System , at one tim e or another an idea struck me that there shou ld be thoseHumans who look nearly identical to thePure Strain variety, but have Mental Powersthat aren’t necessarily Mutatio ns. The

original inspiration can be found in the Mutazoids 2e Rule Book. In this volum e,these mentally mutated Humans are knownas Supers o r Super-Hu mans. This specificterm was dropped in Mutazoids3e PG&HB,

and the rules for that edition of Mutazoids™more closely follow the rules outlined inthese pages. Supers are called “Ps ykazoidHumans”.

The descriptions and statistics be low have

been heav ily m odified for use in a 4 th

edition Gamma World cam paign. The

concept is sound for other editions of Gamma World with proper modifications.

The inspiration for the name of their CrypticAlliance, Psyker Friends Network, should beobvious to all those over the age of 30 or so, but here’s a clue- I was watching a late night

infomercial with the Psychic Lady Cleo. Therest of the Cryptic Alliance is m ore like agiant Menta l E-m ail sy stem. This CrypticAlliance for GW4e, was not converted into aSphere of Influence for Mutazoids3e.

Lastly, I included a couple of rare MedicalItems only of use to Psykers, one thatEnhances Psyke Power Points and one thatRecovers Psyke Power Points. These can beused to spawn ideas for other Psyke Meds or

Devices.

An excerpt from the Appendix to the "Historics of Gamma Terra" writtenby Szuth-Loh, Apprentice to Szah-Lah, Sleeth historian:

"Recently, a new development has occurred within the genetic structure of some

of true man's offspring. Experts disagree about the root causes behind this change,

but none can dispute the existence of True Men who have been born with mental

abilities that approximate, and in some cases, surpass the mutations of the Altered

Ones and New Animals. Some scholars contend that True Man's hardier bodies

and emphasis on intelligence is behind this occurrence, while others believe that

the increased pressures to survive the hostile world of Gamma Terra inevitably

brought about a natural evolutionary response.

"In either case, they have named themselves the Evolved and consider themselves

a race apart (Homo Sapiens Mentalis). Most other species still consider them to

be a subrace of True Men and refer to them as Psykers.

"They retain True Man's resistance to disease, poison, and other ills. They

likewise cannot be mutated by radiation. They seem to have lost some of the

fascination with Technology that permeates ordinary True Man society and in

general, are not as adept at discovering the use of these items as their

predecessors. Their minds are more sensitive to mental activity, due to their new

powers, and they seem to suffer more from mental attacks than other races. Many,

however, have become Espers and through practice improve their mental

defenses.

"Their mental powers are called Psykes and are divided into 5 categories:

Telepathic, Clairvoyant, Telekinetic, Teleportation, and Physical Control. All

known Psykers are Telepathic.

"Some within this new race see themselves as go-betweens for the True Men,

Altered Ones and Other Sentient species (Sleeths in particular), while others see

themselves as the new supreme race, destined to inherit Gamma Terra from all

other races, including True Men and their cousins, the Altered Ones.

"Currently, Psykers comprise about 10-15% of all Pure Strain births, however,

this number appears to be growing."

Psykes (Psychic Powers)

Psykes are Mental Abilities activated by Concentration. There are no Automatic or Permanent Psykes. Determine Psyke Power Points by rolling 3d6 and adding IN Modifier.

Psykes expend Psyke Power Points (See below for point usage). Psyke Power Points are regained at a rate of one per hour regardless of activity. Each Psyke Power Point score is treated as if it were the Mutation Power score for

purposes of range, duration, attacks, raising levels, etc. When used to determine scores inthis manner, the total score is used, not the current strength.

There are 5 Categories of Psyke Powers: Telepathic, Clairvoyant, Telekinetic,Teleportation, and Physical Control Powers.

Each Psyker starts the game witho Mastery of one Psyke Category. Mastery of a Psyke Category allows the Psyker

to use all the Abilities in that Category, provided they have sufficient PsykePower Points remaining),

o Minor Ability in one Psyke Category. Minor Ability only allows the Psyker toexpend a maximum of 3 Psyke Power Points when using Abilities in thatCategory. If the Ability requires more than 3 Psyke Power Points, it cannot beused.

o One of the Starting Psyke Categories must be Telepathy. Most become Master Telepaths (see Starting Category Table below).

Psykers gain Minor Abilities and an additional Mastery as they gain levels, until finallyall Categories becom e known. At 5 th Level, they gain a se cond Minor Ability (choseneither by the Player or the GM). At 10th Level, their first Minor Ability becomes their 2nd Mastery, and they gain another “random” Minor Ability. At 15

thLevel, they gain Minor

Ability in the remaining Psyke Category.

The Psyker Friends Network (The Net)

This Cryptic Alliance is comprised almost entirely of Psykers. They further the goals of Psykers by attem pting to e liminate f ear and prejudice, thereby closing the gap between Pure StrainHumans, Altered Humans, and themselves. They do this by providing a High-Speed Telepathic

Communication Network to those allies will ing to pay. Generally on good term s with theBrotherhood of Thought , Healers, and Tradition al Radioactivists, they will sometimes work for Restorationists and less Radical Groups of the Order of t he Mind. They actively oppose theKnights of Genetic Purity, Iron Society, Ranks of the Fit, Z oopremisists, and Seekers. TheSeekers consider Psykers to be an abomination at best.

Symbol: An im age de picting an Evolutionary Char t, with Psykers branching from the Pure

Strain line, parallel to the Mu tant Human line, then all th ree blending into one again. In public,many wear ancient, blue and white telephone logos on their sleeve or brea st pocket, unless thePolitical climate is unfriendly. W ealthier m embers wear silver “s lave tiaras”, with blue topazsettings attaching to the ear, to their secret meetings. Those less fortunate must settle for cheaper imitations.

Benefits: Mem bers are able to keep in contact with one another over long distances viaTelepathy, sending thoughts from one m ember to another over “The Net". Members are notaware of the contents of messages being passed through their m inds when they are part of The Net, unless they are the final recipients. W ith practice, m ost m essages can be ignoredcompletely. In exchange for participating in The Net, members have access to rare Psyke Booster

and Psyke Accellera meds (see Section 5 below).

Restrictions: Members must agree to join The Net and pass along m essage packets. Som e of these messages can be large and dis tracting, causing the character to be unable to react for theduration of the m essage. The GM rolls a 5% chance per d ay that a la rge m essage will passthrough that day. The message wi ll be 1d6 minutes longs. The GM must randomly decide whenthis message will s tart. If this occu rs during combat, the c haracter may attempt to "reject" themessage. Treat a m essage as an I14 Mental Att ack. Only 1 attem pt to reje ct is allowed pe r message, and if successful, the message will return in 2d10 minutes.

XP Bonus: 50xp per lev el bonus, if a m ember is successfully able to sto p bloodshed between aPure Strain Hum an and an Alte red Human. Double this amount, if members of the Knights of

Genetic Purity and/or Iron Society are involved.

Traditional: Members of the Traditional Net (Trad-Net) do not see th emselves as superior totheir genetically d eprived brethren, the Pure St rain and Altered Hum ans. The three races b lendharmoniously to m ake the final line extending from the evolutionary tree. They genuinely wishto work with other Cryptic Alliances and races such as Orlen, Sleeth, Wardents, and Hissers. Afew Altered Hum ans and ot her races, those with strong Telepathic skill, have been allowed to join The Traditional Net.



11

Radical: Members of the Radical Net (Rad-Net) believe Psykers are a geneti cally superior race,destined to rule a ll others. Theirs is the f inal branch extending from the evolutionary tree. Tothem, all other races are sim ply not as "evo lved", and therefore not as developed mentally or physically as them selves. Mem bers m ay outwar dly foster cooperati on in order to gain"unsuspecting allies" among the "l esser" races to further their own goals of controlling Gamm a

Terra. Rad-Net m embers record im portant messages being passed through, which may be usedfor espionage, extortion or other nefarious purpos es. They m ay also t ry to listen to m essagestraveling along the Trad-Net.

Notes: Members of The Net have no qualm s about kill ing or using their m ental powers againstanyone in self-defense, even if the opponent is another P syker. Player Characters should bemembers of the Traditional Net, unless the GM allows otherwise. A High Speed Long DistanceMessaging System can be m uch more valuable th an on e m ay realize in a Pos t Apocalyp ticWorld. Be sure that on ly the wealthiest Cryptic Alliance s have access to it. Playe r Characte r members of The Net should not be allowed to abus e their privileges. If the Characters start toabuse the system by sending and receiving many long messages, be sure to radically increase the

daily chances and/or frequency per day of a long m essage passing through and interfering withtheir activities.

Psyke Meds

Psyke Booster: This Med only affects Psyke rs. Developed in the sam e era as Genetic Booster and Mind Booster Me ds, this dan gerous subs tance giv es the user 3 addition al Psyke Power Points for 2 hours. The user must then rest for 4 hours or permanently lose 3 points of IN, 1 pointof CN, and 2 pointts of CH. This loss of ability points can adve rsely affect Psyke P ower Point

scores. In addition, if one Attributescore falls below m inimum

requirements for a Psyker Character, all Psyke Categories arereduced to Minor Abilities. If 2 or more scores drop below theminimum required, then all Psykesare lost, until enough points are permanently regained. LostAttribute Points can be permanently regained by leveladvancement and whatever o ther methods the GM will allow. Psyke

Booster is a Tech VI/10 Med. Itweighs .1g, and has Duration of 2hours. It is not sold.

Psyke Accelera: This Med only af fects Psykers. The user regains Psyke Power Points a t a rateof 2 per hour for 3 hours. If the Med is taken more than twice in the sam e 24 hour period, allPsykes are lost for 1d6 days. Psyk e Accelera is a Tech VI/10 Med. It weighs . 1g, and hasDuration of 3 hours. It is not sold.

SECTION 2: GROWTH CYCLES FOR GREEN FOLK This document was designed in response to th e odd way Mutant Plants, aka Green Folk, areallowed to rapid ly grow unchecked and unbounded. It so on becam e apparen t that the Playe r Characters would outgrow their usefulness rather quickly, if the guidelines in the book werefollowed. This docum ent attempts to re ctify the problem while s till maintaining the sp irit a nd

likely, the intention of th e rules as they were written. Th e Green Folk still grow rather rapidly, but their growth is actually based on gam e tim e and not the arbitrary gaining of a level.Depending upon the Character’s particular Plant Sp ecies, there are lim its in place. The onlyexception is the vine. As noted, it is a special case and its size cannot be reigned in so easily.Perhaps one day, a method will come to me that I can add to this document.

This document is to be integ rated directly into the 4th edition Gamma World Rulebook. Therules for Sentient Plants are found on pages 14-15. The GM should have a copy of his rulebook handy to know where to substitute the appropriate information.

The system presented here could be m odified slightly for play under the 3rd edition rules (the

only other earlier edition of th e gam e to allo w m utant plants as Pla yer Charac ter Races ).However, it requires the players choose a general class of plan t (as is done in 4

thedition) rather

than a specific spec ies (as is done in 3 rd edition). It is more likely that the 3 rd edition rules mayneed to be modified to handle this system rather than the other way around. Either way, thisdocument was written to br ing a dditional p layability an d "a s emblance of re alism" to th echaracter race known as the Green Folk.

As I worked on Mutazoids3e, it became clear that I needed to add Mutant Plants (and a handfulof other m utant types) as Play er C haracters. T herefore, a sim ilar system can be found, in amodified form , within the Mutazoids3e Player’s Supplemental Guide, where Mu tant Plantswere added as a PC option to that game.

Green Folk Growth Cycles

To use these Guidelines, first delete the following section of your 4th

edition Gamma World Rulebook: Page 15, Paragraph 2, starting with"The Constitution of a plant deci des its size." and ending with "…the plant actually grows larger as it gains levels."

Then replace it with the following text and table: “The starting size,ending size, and rate of growth for a m utated plant ch aracter aredetermined by its type. It is a ssumed that the plant is young andsmall when it sta rts adventuring and grows a little each m onth for a

period of time, then stops or slows to an immeasurable rate.

Growth Cycle Table

Plant Type Base Starting and Ending Heights Growth Cycle

Brush: Start= 1m End= 2m 60 months + 4d12 months

Flower: Start= 0.5m End= 1.5m 24 months + 2d12 monthsFungi: Start= 0.5m End= 1.5m 10 months + 1d4 monthsSucculent: Start= 0.5m End= 1.5m 96 months + 4d12 monthsTree: Start= 1m End= 3m 180 months + 10d12 monthsVine: ------------------------Special--------------------------------

“In most cases, Ending Height re lates directly to Star ting Height, so to calcu late them both roll1d6-1. Add the result of the d6-1 to the S tarting Height, and us e the d10 for a second decim al place (which would indicate centimeters ). Add thos e same die rolls to the Base Ending Height.The exception to this m ethod is the tree, where it is desirable to ro ll 1d6 and 1d10 for both

Starting and Ending Heights.

“Now that the Player Character’s Starting a nd Ending Heights are know n, calculate the Plant’sGrowth Cycle in months by using the appropriate dice. Subtract the Starting Height from EndingHeight. This will always be 1m, except in the case of Trees, where it is more variable but around2m.

“Divide this number by the number of months to determine Rate of Growth per month, usually infractions of a meter.”

Due to the nearly am orphous nature of the vine character, it is a special case and is not covered

in these guidelines. Follow the normal guidelines given for Vine Characters in the Rulebook.

Example:

The Player chooses a Flower Character. He ro lls 1d6 and 1d10 to determine Starting and EndingHeights. Let’s assume he rolls a 3 on the d6 and an 8 on the d10 or 0.38m. The Starting Height of this Flower Character is 0.38m + 0.5m or 0.88m . This also i ndicates that the Flower willeventually stand 1.88m, when its growth cycle has ended.

The Player then rolls 2d12 to determine the Growth Cycle. Again assume that he rolls a 1 and a 9on the 2d12, or 10 months. Added to 24 months indicates the Flower’s Growth Cycle will last for 34 months, or 2yrs and 10 m onths. This does not m ean that the Flower di es in that am ount of time, it just stops noticeably growing.

Finally, the Player takes 1m (the difference between Start and End Heights), and divides it by 34months. The Flower P C will grow 0.029m (3cm) per month, or 0.36 m per year. Most Mu tantPlant Characters, other than Fungi, will grow even slower.



14

SECTION 3: FUNGUS BASED CHARACTERS

Derek Holland and I got acquainted on theold Gamma World email list. This is the

first of m any of his wo rks to be featured inmy CyberDen. I consider Derek to be a realcreative genius; a m aster of the odd andwonderful that m ost people either wouldn’tnotice or not care about.

He always allowed m e to pos t h is ideas inmy CyberDen, and much of it, including thisdocument, was eventually in corporated in to Mutazoids3e. This particular docum ent wasmodified and converted for use in

Mutazoids3e Player’s Supplemental, as partof the section on Sentient Plants.

The following paragraph is Derek’s originalnotes regarding this Genotype:

“The main problem with fungi characters isthat they are bas ed on th e flashyreproductive structures. The core body of fungi (called m ycelium) is the thread-likesubstance found in the plant/dead w ood/soil.

The GM must m ake a call on how he willwork around this problem . He can restrict

the life span of all fungi, except conks, to 3-6 months (conks would live 2-10 years). Hecan let characters over winter as mycelium(i.e. no play through th e winter). Or he canignore all of this (most likely) and treat themlike intelligent plants. “

As I said, he’s a real genius when it com esto this sort of stuff.

Also acco rding to the orig inal d ocument,

Derek was also working on a list of “FungalMutations”. Either these were not completed,or I never received a copy.

The only other thing I can think of toimprove this document would be an excerptfrom t he “ Historics of Gamma Terra”.

Unfortunately, a copy of that invaluabletome on the Races and Histories of Gamm aTerra was not available in tim e for publication.

Base stock list

Mushroom

The best known of all types of fungi, they requ ire 3x the standard am ount of water. There is a65% chance that the character is poisonous (a toadstool).

Bolete

This fungus looks like a m ushroom with pores in place of gills. They tend to be woodier (AC base 12) and need only 2x the standard amount of water.

Conk

This type of fungi is evolved from woody bracket fungi. They are quite woody – base AC 14 andneed only the standard amount of water.

Coral

This fungus is made up of ornate branching. They digest wood more quickly (“Produce Enzyme”as the Mutation), than other fungi.

Jelly

These fungi are soft an d m alleable. They look like blob s of single or m ultiple colors. Th eyrequire 3x the standard amount of water and grow at twice the normal rate of fungi.

Puffballs

These fungi look like an oval ball, either whit e or brown/tan. The skin can be m any textures.They have the “Spore” Mutation.

SECTION 4: CAN YOU HEAR THAT?MAKING SENSE OF THE SENSES

Many tim es while play ing the 4 th

edition

Gamma World gam e, it becam e necessary

to know whether or not a character was ableto identify a known object from a distanceusing sight, hearing or sense of sm ell. MostRobots and som e Computers have Sensor Array H (N ormal Human Range), but justwhat are the Ranges for a Normal Human?

This short document will ef fectively answer this burning question. The Mutations,

“Heightened Senses”, and the Defect,“Diminished Senses”, gave m e an idea of how to determ ine this, but Norm al Rangeswere still rather vague. The system presented here is the result of reverseengineering the Heightened Senses Mutation,taking into account the specific lim itationsof the Diminished Senses Defect. Therefore,



16

it rem ains com pletely com patible with therest of the rules system.

Range Modifiers given in Section 1 shouldremain constant, however, the situational

modifiers for each sen se are m eant to beguidelines and can be adjusted as the GMsees fit in a given situation. Situational

Modifiers can also be applied whenMutations and Defects are in effect.

For completeness sake, I’m including below,the spec ific gam e eff ects of the Mutation

and the Defect.

Mutation:

Heightened Sight or Hearing doubles the appropriate ranges.Heightened Smell multiplies the ranges for Smell by 10.

Defect:

Diminished Sight / Hearing limits effective Range Categoriesto the following distances.

Point Blank- 3m / 0.5 m Short- 5m / 1m Medium- 10m / 3m Long- 30m / 5m Extreme- 60m / 10m

Range Modifiers to the Senses Check

When a Senses Check is m ade, it is m odified accord ing to its Range Category . The actualdistance for each Rang e Category varies depending on th e Senses Ch eck being m ade. This isfurther described in Sections 2 through 4 be low. Range Categories and their correspondingRange Modifiers should not be adjusted when Normal Human Senses are being used.

Range Categories:

Point Blank- Automatically Identify. Short- Easy (-0) to Identify. Medium- Challenging (-5) to Identify. Long- Tough (-10) to Identify. Extreme- Nearly Impossible (-15) to Identify.





18

Smell

Range Categories for Normal Human Smell

Point Blank- ¼ x SN score in meters.

Short- ½ x SN score in meters. Medium- 1 x SN score in meters. Long- 2½ x SN score in meters. Extreme- 5 x SN score in meters.

Situational Modifiers for Identification based on Smell

Picking out 1 scent from among many = -2

Breeze or Thin Curtain = -4

Wind or Mist = -6 Rain = -8

Solid Barrier or Gale = -10

Storm = -12

An NPC without an Adventuring Class has anumber of Skill Slots based on IN just like aPC, and learns General Skills for thestandard number of Sk ill Slots. T hey canlearn Skills f rom any single Cla ss Skill Se t

(GM choice) for one extra Skill Slot each,and Skills from other Class Skill Sets for 2xthe num ber of Skill Slots. However, if th eGM determines there is a racial tendency for a NPC Rac e toward a certain Class, theymay be treated as that Class ins tead, i.e.Wardent = Exam iner, Sleeth = Es per, etc.,except tha t the NPC must pay 1 point eachfor the Automatic Class Skills that are freelygiven to a sim ilar PC. For example, aWardent Examiner must use h is first 3 Skill

Slots to lea rn Jury -Rig, Read Sch ematicsand Repair Artifact. Th e Wardent may thenuse his re maining Skill Slo ts to learnGeneral and Examiner Skills at their normalcost, or to learn Enforcer, Esper, and ScoutSkills at double their normal cost.

The Skill Score

On the table s below, so me Skills h ave beenmarked with an asterisk. These are

considered to be “difficult” Skills. They startwith a Skill Score equa l to the Skill' s PrimeAttribute divided by 5, rounded up. Thisgenerates a star ting Skill Score b etween 1and 4 (possibly 5), and is in line with theSkill Scores used f or the Autom atic Cla ssSkills in 4th edition Gamma World . Skillsnot so m arked are considered "ea sy" Skillsand start with a Skill Score of 1d10 + 10.These include Skills rolled by randomchance, like swimming.

As a Character advances in Level, 1 point isadded to each Skill Score. Opti onally, acharacter may try to forget a skill. If a skillis not used at all, over the course of gaininga Level, 1 point can be deducted from the

Skill Score, rather th an added. W hen theSkill Score reaches 0, it is f orgotten andremoved from the Character’s Record Sheet.The Skill Slots no longer used by theforgotten S kill are ad ded back into the

remaining total and are available to learn adifferent Skill or Skills. Note tha tPrerequisites needed for using Skills cannot be forgotten this way, unless those Skills areforgotten first.

Learning New Skills

To learn a new skill, the character m ustusually find a suitable teacher. Typically, thecost to hire a Traine r is 100 dom ars x (Base

Cost + the Skill Sco re of the Train er). Thenormal Time to lea rn a new Skill is 5 +(Skill S lots - IN Mod) weeks. The Studentmust then roll an IN Check to pass th ecourse. If the skill is outside their Class SkillSet, the check is at a Challenging Difficulty.If the Check is f ailed, they must pay the f eeagain and retake the c ourse. Certain skillsoriginate from societies that h ave TechLevels higher than the typical starting TechLevel of the Characters. It may be extremely

The system, as presented here, worked well in my 4 th

edition Gamma World game, lasting about5 years, and was later re-adapted into a critical hit matrix for use in the Mutazoids3e GM Guide.Currently, I use another modified form for critical hits, in my Tuesday night AD&D sessions. Ithas been h eavily play tested, but the GM will s till have to a djudicate the results, depending onsuch factors as the types of weapons used by both victim and attacker, hit location, type of armor

worn, force fields, etc. Modified versions of these tables may be useful in other game systems.

Step1: How to Attack

Roll to hit and da mage normally. The damage amount, including bonuses, will be needed belowin Step 3. Repeat this process for each m issile o r m elee attack separately. Do not com binedamage from multiple attacks. Doing so will cause an overabundance of serious wound effects tooccur.

Step 2: Hit LocationRoll 1d10 for Hit Location and refer to the

table below.

1d10 Location

1 Head or Face*

2-3 Preferred arm

4 Al ternate arm

5-7 Torso

8-9 Leg (8 = right /9= left)

10Roll Again & Add 1 to Damage Stageon the Combat Wound Effect Matrix(Ignore this result hereafter)

*If the roll indicates a Head or Face Hit, roll1d6 and consult the following sub-table.

1d6 Location

1 Top of Head or Forehead area

2 Ear (1-3 right / 4-6 left)

3 Eye (1-3 right / 4-6 left)4 Nose

5 Jaw or Cheek (1-3 right / 4-6 left)

6 Voice box or Equivalent



33

These Hit Location Tables are des igned to wo rk best for characters that are m ost sim ilar toHumans, but in Gamma World, this is of ten not the case, so the GM m ay need to adjust themslightly for non-standard humanoids or non-humanoid creatures.

Step 3: Combat Wound Effects Matrix

Roll 1d20 and apply the following formula to determine the Wound Score

(1d20 + Damage) - (Victim’s Health + Victim’s DEX mod.) = Wound Score

Using the Wound Score, consult the Com bat W ound Effe cts Matrix below to determ ine theDamage Stage. If a Hit Location 10 was rolled in Section 2 above, add 1 to the Dam age Stage,and determine the additional effect, if any. Disint egration attacks are handled a little differentlyas shown below. Da mage Stages include all prio r Damage Stages, so th at someone in a com a(Damage Stage 8), a lso has bru ises, is stun ned, will c arry a perm anent scar, h as a projec tileimbedded in a vital organ, is in a lot of pain (or would be if they weren’t in a com a), etc… The

GM should use his best judgment based on Hit Location and the type of Weapon used against theVictim.

GW Vehicle Combat

The Driver or Pilot rolls initia tive for their vehicle, including any bonuses they would norm allyhave. The winner is the Attacker a nd the lose r becomes the Def ender, f or the duration of thecombat. Rolling initiative for each round is not encouraged, because it m akes keeping track of

incoming Missile W eapons m uch more difficult. Rounds are then divided into an Attacker’sTurn and a Defender’s Turn. Segments A-F of each Turn happen nearly sim ultaneously, withinthe same 30second time frame. So, like standard melee combat, a round lasts one minute.

The Attacker’s Turn:

Segment A) Attacke r’s Movem ent Segm ent: The driver m akes his skill ch eck during thissegment, applying any skill bonuses and/or pe nalties (such as due to attem pting a trickymaneuver). If failed, this could result in negating the rest of the Attacker’s Turn. The GM m ustadjudicate failed Drive Check results. If successful, the vehicle can move half normal speed, and play continues to Segm ent B. Full movem ent rate is also possible, but pl ay then skips Segment

B. Full m ovement rate m ay allow the vehic le to escape battle or to m aneuver into a be tter position to attack on their next turn.

Segment B) Attacker’s Firing Seg ment: During this seg ment, the v ehicle m ay fire Be amWeapons (Lasers, Blasters) and/ or Projectile Weapons (Slug Throwers, Tech IV Guns). Duringthis segment, these weapons may set any target within range, except incoming Missile Weapons.

Segment C) Defender's Return Fire Segm ent: During this segment, the Defender’s vehicle canfire Beam or Projectile Weapons. The Return Fire Segment is allowed in all cases, even when theDefender fails a Drive check or the Attacker m oves a full movem ent rate. Return F ire can only be used to attempt to hit the Attacker or to stop incoming Missile Weapons.

Segment D) Attacker's Launch Segment: During this segm ent, the Atta cker’s vehicle is able tolaunch Missile Weapons (Rockets, Missiles, or Grenades), at any target in range.

Segment E) Attacker's Mutations & Computer Segment: The use of onboard computers, sensors,communications equ ipment, electronic countermeasures, etc. occurs during this seg ment. Alsoduring this segm ent, charac ters on the Attack er’s veh icle that still h ave action s rem ainingavailable to them for this round m ay use m utations or perform any other action allowed on thespecific vehicle.

Segment F) End of Attacker’s Turn: Defender’s Mi ssile W eapons, which have not been

destroyed during either the Att acker’s Return F ire or Mutations & Computer Segm ents, reachtheir target(s).



39

The Defender's Turn:

Segment A) Defender’s Movem ent Segm ent: The driv er m akes his skill check during thissegment, applying any skill bonuses and/or pe nalties (such as due to attem pting a trickymaneuver). If failed, this could re sult in negating the rest of the Defender’s Turn. The GM must

adjudicate failed Drive Check results. If successful, the vehicle can move half normal speed, and play continues to Segm ent B. Full movem ent rate is also possible, but pl ay then skips SegmentB. Full m ovement rate m ay allow the vehic le to escape battle or to m aneuver into a be tter position to attack on their next turn.

Segment B) Defender’s Firing Segm ent: During this segm ent, the vehicle m ay fire BeamWeapons (Lasers, Blasters) and/ or Projectile Weapons (Slug Throwers, Tech IV Guns). Duringthis segment, these weapons may set any target within range, except incoming Missile Weapons.

Segment C) Attacke r’s Return Fire Segment: During th is segment, the Attacker’s vehicle canfire Beam or Projectile Weapons. The Return Fire Segment is allowed in all cases, even when the

Attacker fails a Driv e check or the Defender move s a full move ment rate. Return Fire can only be used to attempt to hit the Defender or to stop incoming Missile Weapons.

Segment D) Defender's Launch Segment: During this segment, the Defender’s vehicle is able tolaunch Missile Weapons (Rockets, Missiles, or Grenades), at any target in range.

Segment E) Defender's Mutations & Com puter Segm ent: The use of onboard com puters,sensors, communications equipm ent, electronic counterm easures, etc. occurs during thissegment. Also during th is segment, characters on the Defender’s vehicle that still have actionsremaining available to them for this round may use m utations or pe rform any other actionallowed on the specific vehicle.

Segment F) End of Defender’s Turn: Attacker’s Missile W eapons, which have not beendestroyed during either the Defe nder’s Return Fire or Mutations & Computer Segm ents, reachtheir target(s).

This slow Disease is a fungus that only attacks Plants. It covers the pl ant, turning it brown, andfeeds on the sap, increasing the Plants need for nu trients from sun and soil. Fungicide is the onlycure.

High Winds- In deserts, this causes sand storms. In rough or ruins, it causes gravel storm s. Inforests, there is a 5% per hour to drop lim bs; 5d6 Damage minimum (more for large branches).On water, it makes the waves choppy. Boats will be swamped in 30 minutes or less (depends onsize of the boat). Duration is 1d4+2 hours.

Sand Storm- These can drop down anywhere, and are visible as a brown cloud. Visibility is cutto a few meters, m ovement to 1/6 norm al. Char acters relying on sight, radar, or sona r are penalized 6 on all actions. Char acters in open areas m ay suffocate in an hour, unless they findshelter or gas masks, etc. It lasts 1d100+2 minutes.

Fog (Medium Density)- Visibility = ¼. Sound travels 10% farther.

Dense Fog- Visibility = a few meters. Sound travels 25% farther. -1 THAC melee & -10 THACrange unless using radar, sonar or infrared. Movement reduced to 2.

Gravel Storm- They are preceded by a howling sound. Visibility, combat and movement are the

same as if in Dense Fog (above). Characters in ru ins or rough areas take 1 point of dam age per 5rounds, unless AC of 15 or better excluding DX. It lasts 1d20+20 rounds.

CHAPTER 3: EQUIPMENT, ARMOR, WEAPONS &COMPUTERS

SECTION 1: THE HEALER’S BAG, HERBAL REMEDIES

& MIRACLE CURES

I had actually stopped playing AD&D for the m ost part, when I first saw the 2

nd

edition Arms & Equipment Guide, but the“Healer’s Bag” struck m e as a very usefulitem f or my 4

thedition Gamma World

game. So I converted it. As you m ightsuspect, there was nothing much toconverting the kits itself. The medicinalcontents were a different m atter, but I had

just the things to fill them up.

For a while, I had been noticing th at almostevery published adventure for Ga mmaWorld seem ed to contain som e SecretHerbal Recipe, or Ancient Miracle Cures,not just you r standard Accelera Doses, butthings like Aspirin and Rubbing Alcohol. SoI collected all of these references that I couldfind and also converted them to 4

thedition

rules.

The blending of the m edieval, the modern,and the m utated is one of the hallm arks of the Gamma World game and this docum entis no exception. Remem ber that MiracleCures have a percent chance to fail, or worse, unless the user is a PSH; MostCharacters can use Herbal Remedies withouta failure ch ance (except where noted). Thiscan m ake Herbal Rem edies even m orehighly sought after than Miracle Cures.

This docu ment was origin ally s lated toappear in Kerry Jordan’s Secrets of the

Ancients Net Book, but the or iginal sourcematerial for each Miracle Cure and HerbalRemedy wa s not fully docum ented, so theeditor scr apped it. It w as la ter inc luded inScot Hoover’s Survivors’ Field Guide Net

Book, along with my idea for a fully stockedTech IV First Aid Kit. Sorry Kerry, but Istill haven’t gone back and tracked downexactly which adven ture each of the Curesand Rem edies cam e fr om. Suffice to say,they are in there, somewhere. In order to usethis docum ent with C hapter 2, Section 2 -Combat Wound Effects, I added som edetails (Antibiotic, Antiseptic, Pain Reducer,etc) to a few of the original descriptions.

A heavily modified version of the Healer’s

Bag appears in th e Mutazoids3e PG&HB ,

where it is called a Medico Bag . Sim ilar types of Herbal Rem edies are found in the Mutazoids3e Player’s Supplemental.

Miscellaneous and Rarely Seen Herbs

Death Moss Fruit- Doubles all senses for 1 hour, then decreases them by 50% for 1 hour

Gr'I'xon Spice- Very expensive and Addictive Food Spice, made from the remains of 5 Gr'I'xon boiled down and combined with butter

Ash'I'xon (Fresh)- If eaten within 1 day of killing, m ake a Difficult save versus vomiting. Thissave should be based on CN a nd IN scores, as the appearan ce, taste and sm ell are quitenauseating. If successful, the character gains a permanent bonus of +4 to Health vs. Radiation

Wed'I'xon (Smoked)- Dry W ed'I'xon 2 days in the sun, and sm oke it m ixed with a littletobacco, as desired. Gives Resistance to I 9 or less Gas or Spore attacks for 24 hours

Cyn'I'xon Tea- Dry Cyn'I'xon 2 days in the sun, mix with tea and drink. Gives Resistance to I 9or less Poison for 48 hours

Nog'I'xon Oil- Keep a dead Nog'I'xon in an airtight container for one month and it will turn into1 liter of slippery oil that will cover 10 sq. meters of floor.

Fhot'I'xon Acid- Keep a dead Fhot'I'xon sealed for 2 months and it will turn into one liter of I 9Corrosive Acid.

SECTION 2: EXOTEX ARMOR

Years ago, the online community of gamers who enjoyed role-playing in the Post Apocalyptic,Science Fantasy Genre of Gamma World was much m ore energetic an d active, and there weremany websites across the internet. Those who only had a page or two of m aterial, or had not the

time or inclination to put up their own proper sites, would ask others to post for them. So it wasin this too short-lived Golden Era of Post Apocalyptic Gaming, that Sammy Spade allowed me tocapture, edit and post one of the email messages he sent to the Gamma World Yahoo Group.

It contained the idea and some stats for ExoTex Armor.

I never officially added ExoTex Arm or to Chapter 2, Section 3 - Weapon Types, Weapon

Proficiencies, & Improved Armor Tables , but in the Arm or’s Descrip tion, I includ e th einformation necessary to allow it to be added to the Tech VI Armor Table in that document.

ExoTex Armor

Description: ExoTex Ar mor is m ade from a lightwei ght spandex type of material that is"resistant to high velocity defo rmations". This m eans that nor mally it is non-bulky and doesn' timpede movement. However, if something rapidly tries to change its shape, like a melee weaponor projectile, an expanding area of the m aterial becomes as rigid as a p late of steel. The force of the impact is spread over a larger area, and the weapon or projectile is likely to glance off. Thesuit then instantly reverts to its original non-bulky state.

Additionally, its stretchy fibers are infused with Duralloy, which reflects energy attacks, and thefibers are dyed in a substance that becomes more reflective as the intensity of light increases. Inthe dark, the m aterial is black. Under normal sunlight, it is light grey. Under the intensity of alaser, it becomes a mirror surface.

Full Suit: ExoTex is a Tech VI Armor, providing only a +2 bonus to a Character’s Armor Class(versus W eapons of Any Tech Level), however, all Damage from VL Lasers is negated an dDamage from any other Weapon is reduced to only ¼. The cost for a full suit is 4000 domars.

Vest: ExoTex Armor can also be worn as a Vest (also Tech VI), p roviding +1 Arm or Class bonus (versus W eapons of Any Tec h Level), nega ting VL Laser hits to the Torso and reducingall other Damage to ½. The cost for a Vest is 2500 domars.

Game Effects: This armor has som e very unique propert ies and ga me eff ects to take in toconsideration before allowing its use in a cam paign. ExoTex is the perfect arm or for those wholike to sn eak quietly in dark places. Non-bulky and All Black in the dark, ExoTex Arm or i s

likely to provide hefty bonuses to these activities. It is also perfect for wearing while performingacrobatics, tumbling or other dexterous maneuvers.

While providing very lim ited AC bonuses, the Da mage Reduction more than makes up for this.In m ost combat situations, the wearer of this armor will be hit, of ten and r epeatedly, but th edamage will be reduced so that the wearer can usually continue to fight or escape.

SECTION 3: WEAPONS, WEAPON PROFICIENCIES

& IMPROVED ARMOR TABLES

Part 1 provides com prehensive listings of weapons for the 4 th edition of the Gamma World

game. They have been o rganized into Weapon Types. This was necessary to in troduce a simpleWeapon Proficiency system into 4

thedition Gamma World . This is a system of my own design,

which in some ways mirrors the d20 system devised a few years la ter. Proficiency in a W eaponType allows the character to use any weapon on that list without penalty. The GM may adjust thelistings as they see fit. I chose to group weapons not only according to similar characteristics, butalso by amount of dam age potential and other fact ors. In this chapter, I also introduce theconcept of Prerequisites for gaining Proficiencies.

In Part 2, Weapon Types are now used to provi de the basis for a W eapon Proficiency system .Chapter 1 specified the num ber of Prerequisites and specific W eapon Type required in order togain proficiency with certain m ore advance d, but sim ilar Weapon Type s. This chapter now

provides the characters with a number of starting W eapon Proficiencies to further refine the 4 th edition classes, rules for gaining m ore Weapon Proficiencies, Penalties for being non-proficient,and examples of how the system works.

Part 3 contains Arm or Charts of my own devi sing. They provide a way to adjust A rmor Class bonuses based on the T ech Level of the W eapon being defended against. This provides a m ore

realistic f eeling to thegame, as it greatly increasesthe danger of encounteringsomeone using advancedweaponry while wearing

common, low Tech armors.Tech V and VI W eapons became awe-inspirin gartifacts of great power.

The entire system as a whole has b een play tested in 4 th

edition Gamma World , and though the players groaned about the “excessive proficiency penalties” at first, they eventually found it veryflexible and easier than it appea rs to gain proficiencies and mitigate the penalties. Eventually,they discovered that th e proficiency penalties worked very well in conjunction w ith the Arm or vs. Tech system, applying bonuses and penalties in various combinations to even things out.

One thing I do not m ention specifically elsewhere, but should be noted he re: rules presented inthis document apply to all characters, whether player or non-player, as well as all creatures usingweapons and armor. The GM is called upon to pr ovide Weapon Proficiencies for all Non-Player Characters and Creatu res, and to apply Non-Proficiency penalties, us ing the Play er Character references in Part 2 as a guide.

The following tables detail the number of Ar mor Class bonuses granted to a character wearing aspecific type of Arm or, according to the Tech Level of th e Weapon being defend ed against.Generally speaking, but not always, Armor will be m ost effective against Weapons of equal or lower Tech Level, and less effective versus W eapons of a higher tech level, with Low Tech

Armor often providing little to no protection against High Tech Weapons.

When the tables say (no DX), this indicates that the character’s dexterity bonus to Ar mor Classcannot be used when wearing this arm or. (& Helm ) indicates that the bonuses are appliedassuming the Armor includes a Helm. If a Helm is not worn, subtract the appropriate bonuses.

SECTION 4: A MORE COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF TECH IVWEAPONS

This document contains a table illustrating a m ore complete breakdown of the various Tech IVWeapons. Revolvers, Se mi-Automatic Pistols, Ri fles, Shotguns and other types of Tech IV

Weapons are listed in the Equipm ent Section of the gam e’s Rule Book. The rules f or using theoriginal weapons from the book have been repeated here for com pleteness and com parison purposes.

The original weapons, Revolvers, Sem i-Automatic Pistols, Rifles and Sh otguns, have been usedto create categories which are then subdivided into larger or sm aller varieties and according totheir type of firing m echanism. This was done solely with the 4 th edition of Gamma World inmind, and the rules will need m odification in order to be used in other editions of th e game. Therules presented here are solely g ame mechanics and not, in any way, an ad aptation of real worldfirearms to the game.

The GM wi ll find the infor mation contained in these tables m ost useful when equipping thePlayer Character’s adv ersaries, Town Guards an d Militia, as well as f or stocking the shelves a tthe local town’s gun shop.

Chapter 4: Adventures & Encounters

SECTION 1: RANDOM TREASURE TABLES

The following tables list the frequency of variou s Armor, Weapons, and Equipm ent of all TechLevels commonly found in use by sentient beings in Gamma World . They combine items frommany sources including pre-4th edition m odules, Dragon Magazine, and Treasures of the

Ancients, combined with standard items from the 4th edition Gamma World rulebook and a fewof my own creation.

The tables are organ ized into the f amiliar four Frequency Categor ies: Common, Uncommon,Rare, and Very Rare. When an item /weapon of a certain tech level is ca lled for, roll percentiledice. In most cases, 01-65 is "Common", 66-85 is "Uncommon", 86-96 is " Rare", and 97-00 is"Very Rare". Some Tech I - III ta bles have n o Very Rare category (treat Rare as 86-00), andsome Tech V - VI table s have an additional Extremely Rare category (treat “V. Rare” as 97-99,and “X. Rare” as 00). The GM then chooses a random item or selects an item from that columnof the table.
