Aberrant: Exile (Team Tactics)

Overview

This is where we write down the ideas we have for how the team should work together in case of a fight. The idea is not to create a step by step tactical manual, but rather to have some idea of how the team should work together as a team, rather than everyone fighting as individuals. E.g. who acts as each others wingmen, who is responsible for what, do we take prisoners, when do we retreat, and how do we preserve each others covert identities.

Mega-Intelligence ●● (Engineering Prodigy; Analyze Weakness)

Analyze Weakness: Roll intelligence then again a number of dice equal to your successes to strengthen or weaken a system.

Engineering Prodigy: Add an amount of dice equivalent to Mega-Intelligence to any engineering roll.

Second Skin: Soak +4B +4L

Forcefield ●

Adds 9 temporary health levels that generate at 1 level for each turn.

Tactics

Overall the Minime is envisioned as an expendable distraction, something that will hopefully gain the team a few more valuable minutes. It has a general toolbox of tactics and the intelligence to put them together in interesting ways to fit the situation at hand.

Its bag of tricks includes, but is not limited to:

• Creating a larger robot body that it can ride inside of and if need be slough off during an emergency.
• Burrow through walls, either directly by making holes and passageways, or, if the walls are hardened, by creating explosive charges or plasma torch robots that cut through them.
• Burrowing into a hardened shell and extending tentacle like cables all over the place to take over nearby computers and electronics.
• Creating smaller robots to act as distractions while it carries out its task.
• Analysing enemy movements and acting to cause maximum disruption and distraction to them.
