Bestial human geckos are active predators, and despite their relatively small size, instinctively frighten bug-men, especially humanoid spiders and scorpions. They have effective bites (SV +7/ DMG 1d10), but most impressively can cling to any surface. They can climb up, or down, or along, anything, even glass, at their normal movement rate. Additionally, they can hang on a ceiling of rough material for one round per current point of strength. The gecko-man can also make a type A, agility based hazard check once for every 5 meters dropped to catch the side of a building or pit or other wall after falling into a pit or jumping off a structure. A GM may allow the use of this ability when a geckoid leaps onto the back of a huge beast or passing vehicle, making an agility based hazard check in accordance with the difficulty of the task. Humanoid geckos may only use this ability if they keep their hands and feet bare. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0994923791 or https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm gecko, beast, bestial, manimal, lizardman, color change, RPG, ttrpg, bestial human, characters, noaiart, william mcausland, wasteland, mutant epoch, apocalyptic, expansion rules, post-apocalyptic, the mutant epoch, outland system, outland arts, mutants, mutant, epoch, ink artist, Kamloops artist, apocalyptic, fallout, like, gamma world, humanoid animal, roleplaying game,

[40% Chance actually a bestial human sheep.]
 Despite being herbivorous, bestial human goats and sheep will attempt to eat nearly anything once, and can derive sustenance from nearly any non-toxic plant-derived substance including cardboard. Humanoid sheep have returned to their wild roots physically, and both sheep-men and goat-men are surprisingly agile and sure-footed.
 Thanks to their thick hair or fleece, they can withstand cold conditions twice as well as a human, even without winter clothing. The males of both species of humanoids also sport horns capable of delivering a bone-crunching head butt (SV +10/ DMG 1d12, double damage if allowed to charge from 6m or more). Nannies and ewes only possess horns 50% of the time, unless the GM specifies that both genders exhibit horns equally. Their wariness and keen senses provide them with a +1 initiative bonus.

Android Original Purpose Descriptions and Details Art from page 31 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules book Civilian androids were mass produced and easily the most commonly found models that dig teams unearth. These humanoid robots usually had plastic bones — although many featured fully biodegradable sheathing, bones and parts which have long since decayed into dust. This unique android, however, is built different from other models. It is either a customized variant, from a limited edition, or a prototype of some rare, purpose-built and perhaps one of a kind design. Roll on the following table to determine what its original intended job was, with each model gaining trait bonuses or penalties. See the description text to follow for each unit’s intended, pre-play ‘job’ for potential starting skills and other features.

This character served aboard an airship and took on the caste title of aeronaut. So too, he or she gained considerable knowledge of their own region, having visited most barter towns, digger forts, trade outposts, farming villages and any sprawling slum cities which might exist in the area. Likewise, this balloonist has memorized the details of the terrain below their vessel, including the rivers, old war zones, ruin sites, swamps, impassable mutant forests, and treacherous mountains and badlands. https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm

Teacher: This character taught youngsters in the basics of math, reading, writing and scientific principles. If it was permissible in his or her community, the instruction of ancient history up until the cataclysm would also have been taught — although what this teacher knows to be true might differ greatly from what really happened. The instructor might also share what he or she knows about ancient animals, religions, geography and literature. From the Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules Book section on pre-game castes, page 18.

These folks are also referred to as herdsmen, shepherds, cowboys, and goat-herders, and refers to individuals who live a semi-nomadic lifestyle in a tribal or clan-based community. They guide their herds from pasture to pasture, often over great distances and move with the seasons, always in search of fresh grazing land, water and seclusion. It is a hard life, full of perils, privation, exposure to extreme weather, and unending labor. A herder must fend off all manner of predator and raider, as well as contend with the hostility of settled farmers. https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm

Repairer: A valued member of any tribe or village, this repairman or repair-woman can fix most commonly used tools, but often has the junk crafting skill and a fairly good chance of knowing one or more areas as a technician.

 Among the most widespread bird-men around, bestial human chickens owe their survival and success to their huge numbers before the apocalypse, their social nature, a truly varied diet, stubbornness, and the aggression of the roosters.
 Seeds, rodents, bugs, lizards, they will literally try their hand at eating anything remotely edible, and are equipped with sharp beaks (SV +7/ DMG 1d10). Roosters have sharp claws and spurs and use them in a leaping flurry of kicks (SV +15/ DMG 1d20) which they can do every third round. No small number have become gladiators, lending a whole new spin to the old sport of cockfighting. 1 in 6 NPC bestial human chickens are roosters, although as player characters, the player decides their sex.

These well built, advanced androids were used as security and boarding troops during operations aboard space stations and vessels, as well as deposited on the ground on moons, asteroid mines, and other planets such as Mars. Besides fierce combat in zero gravity or the harshest of environments, they can handle the vacuum of space, resist radiation, extreme cold or extreme heat, and cope with long periods of dormancy. These units can go dormant on minimal powers for 25 years, but if activated by a ship’s main computer, a digital being, or physical contact, they will power up and become fully operational in 3d6 minutes.

Art from page 22 of the TME Expansion Rules We’ve included the same rank advancement matrix as shown on page 34 of the TME Hub Rules for ease of access, although the subsequent rank gain bonus matrix has been expanded to include all the new character types, as well. If you’re new to The Mutant Epoch and want an explanation of experience factors and rank advancement, we encourage you to read the brief write up on page TME-34, however a word on Experience factors is in order. Some say that it is too easy to go up in rank, or level up, in The Mutant Epoch and Outland System, especially compared to other popular role-playing games. Indeed, going from first rank to second rank can be rather swift. The reasoning behind this is that to gain the 60 experience factors needed do so means a newbie post-apocalyptic character must survive several brutal, potentially deadly fights. For example, imagine surviving a hand to hand battle with a black bear, EFs (Experience Factors) 50, or fending off several ferocious mutant dogs (EFs 18 each) or a whole 1st rank party enduring the onslaught of a mutant giant known as a garnock (pg TME-156 with 125 Efs). https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm #rank #rankadvancement #level #levelup #experiencefactors #experiencepoints #rpg #ttrpg #mutantepoch #tme #expansionrules #rpgbook #postapocalyptic #indierpg #outlandarts #outlandsystem #inkart #gameart #advancement #characterart
