[252] SECTION 4 // Compendium // Mech Catalogue LICENSE I: ANNIHILATOR, EXTERNAL BATTERIES LICENSE II: TOKUGAWA FRAME, DEEP WELL HEAT SINK, TORCH Deep Well Heat Sink 4 SP, Unique When you start your turn in the DANGER ZONE, you gain RESISTANCE to� for the rest of the turn. This effect persists even if you leave the DANGER ZONE during your turn. The Deep Well experimental heat-sink system is a part of the Armory’s VANGUARD line of equipment, available to licensed beta testers. Through a complex, delicate weave of heat exchangers, Deep Well recycles the heat generated by a mech into usable energy. The system works well, but the delicate nature of the exchange renders it highly volatile. The Torch is a potent weapon: a heavy crescent-bladed plasma cutter, powered straight from a chassis’ reactor. Torches generally project as axes, though their blades can be changed to a range of other shapes. A common weapon in CQB theaters, the torch has lately become a status symbol among officers, carried by many alongside a smaller auxiliary weapon. Torch Main Melee, Overkill, 2�(Self) [�1][1d6�+ 3�] On Hit: Make a secondary attack against all characters within �1 of the target. These attacks can’t deal bonus damage, and don’t trigger the Annihilator’s � cost or secondary attacks. Harrison Armory is known to employ somewhat unconventional development methods: tactical solutions are theorized and designed in the field as often as they are in the lab, with the former often outperforming the latter. The Annihilator’s name comes from pilots’ slang for a jury-rigged weapon first improvised in the Bradbury Rebellion, when desperate resistance pilots found a way to shunt the incredible waste heat from their reactors into a directed blast. Annihilator Main CQB, AP, 2�(Self) [�5][�3][1d3+2�] External Batteries 2 SP, Unique Weapons that deal any � gain +5� if they are ranged or +1� if they are melee. When you take any structure damage, this system is destroyed and you take 1d6�AP damage from the explosion. This damage can’t be prevented or reduced in any way. External batteries are by no means unique; however, according to Harrison Armory marketing, POWERALL cells are the longest-lasting, fastest cycling, and highest capacity solid-state cells available. A side-effect of their high capacity is a proportionate increase in volatility, but pilots must agree to absolve Harrison Armory of any liability prior to receiving print authorization.
[253] SECTION 4 // Compendium // Mech Catalogue LICENSE III: LUCIFER-CLASS NHP, PLASMA GAUNTLET Plasma Gauntlet 2 SP, Danger Zone, Limited 1, Quick Action, Unique This system can only be used in the Danger Zone. Expend a charge and choose a character adjacent to you: they must succeed on an AGILITY save or take 4d6�AP damage and be knocked PRONE. On a success, they take half damage and aren’t knocked PRONE. You take half of the damage inflicted – before reduction – as � and become STUNNED until the start of your next turn. This studded gauntlet draws on a core reactor pulse to momentarily superheat the air around a mech’s manipulator, creating a plasma field momentarily hotter than the surface of the sun. Thrust into an opponent’s chassis, plasma gauntlets give mechs the power to warp armor, vaporize shielding, and rip apart internal systems with their bare hands – if they don’t collapse in on themselves first. LUCIFER Protocol Limited 2, 1d3+3�(Self), Protocol Expend a charge to give your next ranged or melee attack this turn bonus damage on hit equal to your current � after activating this protocol, as long as the weapon deals any �. LUCIFER-Class NHP 3 SP, AI, Unique Your mech gains the AI tag and the LUCIFER Protocol. LUCIFER came to the Think Tank’s attention after their repeated victories in thought-war games. LUCIFER clones are characterized by their brash, enthusiastic personality, often expressing frustration with timid pilots. This bombastic personality hides a calculating, brilliant tactical mind that feeds constant information to pilots – often faster than they can process it. LUCIFER’s combat doctrine demands action, appearing to less daring pilots as a chaotic blend of reckless maneuvering and aggressive offense that keeps defenders beleaguered and unable to respond. Pilots looking to partner with LUCIFER clones should be aware that this attack style is likely to leave them vulnerable to counterattack, and also that these NHPs enjoy what they call “good-natured ribbing”.
