Muv Luv Alternative: Desparation

D
DamascusActual

Immerse yourself in mankind's struggle against the BETA, piloting large mechs to even the odds.


Author's Note: This is meant to be (hopefully) an entry point to the Muv Luv franchise. Experience an alternate timeline of Earth, where the Cold War never ended and an overwhelming extraterrestrial threat has Humanity on it's back foot. Less than 3 billion souls remain to hold the desparate resistance. Can you make a difference? There is a template character for you to build your own, for the sake of story and consistency, you must assign a start location for this template to any starting "Base". Update: - Factions and assignments to related areas and POIs NEEDS: - Faction assignment for character roster - Additional factions - Timeline and plot lore (pending F&F lore tool update) *CONFIRMED COMING SOON

Description

The Soldier Class is the smallest strain of known BETA that sits at just over 2 meters tall. Possessing a partial human genome, it exhibits startlingly human features. Despite its fragile frame, this creature possesses an incredible grip strength with its long arms and can bite through super carbon using its formidable hinged jaw. It has the highest detection capabilities of all the BETA, furthering its role as an anti-infantry unit. The Soldier-Class BETA moves with a near-silent grace that makes it a deadly predator, rare being detected unless approaching from the front. - Silent Approach: The Soldier Class can move stealthily, gaining advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and allowing it to surprise its foes. - Fragile: The Soldier Class BETA has disadvantage on saving throws against spells and effects that deal fire, piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning damage. - Skull Crushing Bite: The Soldier Class BETA’s bite attack deals an additional 2d6 damage to creatures with a head.

Actions

Grapple and Devour

This is a two-turn ability that involves grappling and then delivering a devastating bite. Turn 1: Grapple Grapple: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target of equal or smaller size. Hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the Soldier Class BETA cannot use its arm attacks on another target. Turn 2: Devour Devour: The Soldier Class BETA uses its powerful bite to attempt a coup de grâce on the grappled target. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 4d8 + 4 piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is decapitated.

Summon Reinforcements (Recharge 6)

The Soldier Class draws in more BETA after detecting targets, summoning 1d4 additional Soldier Class to its location. The summoned BETA appear within 30 feet of the original and act on their own initiative count. They disappear after 1 hour or when reduced to 0 hit points.
