SCORPION COMBAT ARMOR

SFX: Armored Predator. Spend a d6 from the doom pool to ignore physical stress or trauma unless it was caused by an attack specifically targeting the armor’s exposed components.

SFX: Hydraulic Assault. Step up or double Enhanced Strength for one action. If the action fails, shut down Enhanced Strength and add a d6 to the doom pool. Recover the power by spending a d6 from the doom pool.

SFX: Pounce. When Scorpion attacks from above, across an obstacle, or after rapidly closing the distance, add a d6 and step up the effect die.

SFX: Wall-Crawling Hunter. When using Wall-Crawling to create an advantage through positioning, stealth, or attacking from an unexpected angle, add a d6 and step up the effect die.

Limit: Experimental Armor. When Scorpion takes physical stress from an electrical, magnetic, or technological attack, step up that stress to add a d6 to the doom pool.

SFX: Constricting Coil. When creating a complication such as Crushed, Pinned, or Unable to Breathe with Prehensile Tail, add a d6 and step up the effect die.

SFX: Sweeping Tail. Against multiple nearby targets, add a d6 and keep an additional effect die for each additional target. Add a d6 to the doom pool for each additional effect die kept.

SFX: Concussive Pulse. When using Subsonic Vibration Blast to attack everyone within a confined area, add a d6 and keep an additional effect die for each affected target. Add a d6 to the doom pool for each additional effect die kept.
