Encounters:
1: A group of 1d10 deserters extorting a caravan for supplies.
2: 10 legionnaires or 5 ghosts hunting an NPC, they will signal peace and approach to ask for the whereabouts of the target, roll a d3 for target. 1-An NPC or monster in the party is opposed to. 2-A friendly or neutral NPC, 3-An important figure the party has yet to meet.

6: A regular customs check for the party, composed of 10 legionnaires. Usually happens at sea or in the air. They will be visible from far away, and send the proper signals. If chatted up, they will give away any rumours or bullets you would wish in exchange for sugar, tobacco or alcohol.

-Your unarmoured defense becomes as plate, and your fingers become as bodkins. In addition, the first time you die in a month, return to life with full hp and deal 3d6 radiant damage in a 9m radius after one round. Until you leave combat, you have an additional action and movement action.
-Technique: Red right hand (2ap): Make a single attack with a hit roll of 1d20 (or 2d20, if you already were rolling 1d20, this is not advantage you can roll a 40), dealing 4d6 damage on a hit.
Δ Shorn: Doubles every single number that would be beneficial to double. Always has Gorefiend, and are usually also ghosts with bio armour. Has a large collection of divine implant equivalents that can be used by warlocks of Yad Eshel and other second legion members, but nobody else.
Shorn almost *never* travel alone, usually being in groups of 5, acting as the right hand of the war mage leading the formation. The exception is with groups of broken, who will have single ones who managed to complete the ritual themselves.
Unparalleled: Automatically crits on all actions taken against npcs, In addition it takes an additional number [player number]/2 times a round outside its turn. Only one creature with this keyword can act this way, conservation of ninjutsu style.

2-Bone ripper: 1 target, 1d12 damage and save vs limb explosion (1d4 to select).
3-Weeper: Removes sense of smell for a week, causes partial blindness (can't see more than 3m/10ft away) and complete deafness for an hour. Extremely painful.
4-Foam: Dehydrate air in 30m radius, creates 3x3x3m cube of foam as hard as hemp at the end of the next round. Forms a 9x9x9m cube and forms instantly if submerged or partially submerged in water instead.

Rust rifle fuel effects:
1- Gasoline: +300m/1000ft range.
2- Whale oil: Can fire 3 shots before needing to be refueled (so only 1 action to reload). +2 acc and deals +1d12 damage.
3- Beast blood mixed with tallow: Gains +[monster HD] damage, depending on strength of beast.
4- Demon blood: Automatically hits and seeks around corners, rust grows and spreads to other items it makes contact with. Deals 1d20 damage, each dose of demon blood stays in the gun forever and refuels automatically 1/battle (this does not stop you from loading in other fuel).
Note: Only silver can make demons bleed.
Ψ Broken: Style of the second legion.
Stance: Cycle: Remove the need to breathe.
Technique: Lupa: Make a movement action.
If anyone uses this technique, everyone else in this combat that has this technique, has it forcibly activated.
Technique: Strike: Release(1ap): Shatter a rusted sword to double damage and convert it to slash/force/poison damage.
Technique: Kin: Rub iron dust into an open wound to heal necrotic damage, stop all bleeding, and restore 1 exhaustion.
Lesson: You may pull a corroded blade or bolt from a pile of blood soaked rust.
Note: Strikes are techniques that are activated on hit. Ap is = to attacks forgoed.
Note: Multiattack just means you can attack multiple times if you have the actions. Also, regarding the shorn, the system this was made for has a max value for ac so I recommend not letting it go above your equivalent of plate+1.
Note: Acc is short for accuracy, so to-hit.
Note: You can replace blacksteel munition plate with adamantine, or your local superstrong material.
