Class Features

  • Method of War: Sure Footed
    If you move more than 1 square or are moved more than 1 square, you suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls with heavy weapons until the beginning of your turn (meaning you must shoot first and then move to avoid the penalty). This rule is identical to normal rules with two-handed small arms but a heavy weapon doesn’t count as a two-handed small arm. This replaces the current penalty for moving and firing with heavy weapons.
  • Recoil Absorption
    Though ranged fire normally utilizes Dexterity for attack and damage, when wielding two-handed small arms or heavy weapons, you can use Strength for all attack and damage rolls instead.
  • Meat Shield
    If an enemy equal in size to you is killed and you are in an adjacent square to it by the end of your turn, it provides cover. Only you can gain the effects of the shield. The meat shield cannot move but you can move around it. You can use a one-handed small arm while holding onto the shield without pen- alty (as you are holding up the body). If using a two-handed small-arm, you suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls while holding the shield. If you let go, the meat shield drops and cannot be re-used. You cannot use a heavy weapon with a meat shield.
  • Brotherhood
    If an ally in an adjacent square is hit by an attack, you gain a +1 power bonus to attack the enemy that initiated that at- tack until the end of your next turn.
  • Trained as Reflex
    Your rapid fire and potential push powers are considered ranged basic attacks.




















Equipment

Twin Perdition Flamethrowers

Plasma flamethrowers mounted in each gauntlet of the 660 armor. As a versatile weapon, the flamethrowers work best when both gauntlets are brought to bear simultaneously.
Versatile heavy weapon (+0/+1 proficiency bonus)
1d6 damage (+2d6 critical)
+2 enhancement bonus
Range 3/6
Cell: M
Clip: 100
Properties

  • Versatile: If you use this weapon two-handed, you deal an extra 1 point of damage when you roll damage for the weapon.
  • This weapon has two proficiency bonuses. You only receive the full proficiency bonus if you use a move action to “root yourself”. The full proficiency bonus ends if you move or are moved. The effect doesn’t expire otherwise (so you don’t have to use a move action on every turn if you don’t move or are moved).
  • All damage dealt by this weapon is fire damage, and attacks made with it gain the fire keyword.
  • Power (encounter): Free action. Targets one creature you hit with an attack with this weapon. The target takes ongoing 4 fire damage (save ends).
  • On any attack that targets AC, you target Reflex instead when using this weapon.
