PERKS

Augment Power: Once per turn, Ratchet gives an ally ↑1 on a Skill Test as a Free Action. Once per combat, Ratchet can give an ally ↑2 on a Skill Test as a Free Action.

Broad Understanding: Outside of combat, as long as Ratchet has at least one Science Specialization, Ratchet rolls all Science Skill Tests as though he was Specialized, although Skill Tests outside his Specialization suffer ↓2.

Circuit Breaker: Ratchet can use the Technology Skill for attacks with Electric Weapons.

Energon Battery. Ratchet stores a number of Energon Points equal to his highest Essence Score.

For The Allspark: Ratchet gains the following benefits:

  • ↑1 to Infiltration Skill Tests when in Alt Mode, or ↑2 if Alt Mode is appropriate to the environment.

  • Immunity to carbon-based diseases, but affected by electromagnetic damage and viruses that affect machines.

  • Roll Out! When Ratchet rolls for initiative, if not surprised, he can choose to convert to his Alt Mode before combat begins without needing to spend an action.

General Perk: Remove and Rebuild

Intrafilum: As a Free Action, when treating an adjacent Cybertronian, Ratchet can spend an Energon Point to restore 1 Health.

Machinist: When using a Skill Test for any kind of repair or upgrade to a Cybertronian or Cybertronian technology, ratchet gains an Edge.

Patch Up: Once per trun, Ratchet can spend an Energon Point to make a Skill Test to Repair a Cybertronian or vehicle, or Heal an organic life form as a Free Action. Ratchet always counts as having a Standard Medicine Kit and a Standard Repair Kit.

Preventative Measures: Ratchet can treat a healthy ally. As long as the target doesn't have any Damage or Temporary Health, and Ratchet hasn't used Preventative Measures on them yet today, Ratchet can make a Science or technology Test as though he was healing or Repairing them. They gain the amount of Temporary Health equal to the amount Ratchet would have healed or repaired.

Siren's Blaring: When Resetting Your Initiative, Ratchet gains an Edge and ↑1 to his Initiative Skill Test.

Thesis: Once per scene, outside of combat, Ratchet can use Science in place of another Smarts-based Skill for a Skill Test, but the Skill Test takes longer. If the Skill Tests takes less than a full turn, it takes your full turn. Otherwise, it takes twice as loong as stated.

Walk Them Through It: Allies without ranks in Technology or Science can Lend Assistance to Ratchet on Technology and Science Skill Tests.

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
