It is a 6 wheeled vehicle, with a quad 20mm cannon in a turret that is capable of targeting both ground and air targets. It loses the amphibious capabilities, but has upgraded armour, which is also slightly more slanted than the previous Amphibious APC to greatly improve its survivability. It also mounts a mine layer that deploys EMP landmines. It can still carry 12 soldiers, although a little more cramped than the Amphibious APC, but three on each side can use their rifles through firing ports. The Goliath APC is three squares wide and four squares long, providing full cover to its occupants, a single top hatch over the driver, plus a large rear door, a crew of two members, driver/commander and gunner. Crew: 2Passengers: 12Cargo: 350 lbsInit: -2Maneuver: -1Top Speed: 80 (8) (350 miles / tank)Defense: 9Hardness: 14Hit Points: 55Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 39Restriction: Mil (+3)Accessories: 2 4-barrel smoke grenade launchers, thermal/nightvision for driver and commander, GPS, military radio, headlights, half penalties for rough terrain, quad 20mm cannon turret, Mine layer, firing ports Weapons<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td> Name</td><td> Damage</td><td> Critical</td><td> Dam Type</td><td> Range Incr</td><td> Rate of Fire</td><td> Magazine</td><td> Controller</td></tr><tr><td> 20mm Cannon (4 fire-linked) </td><td> 8d10</td><td> 20</td><td> Ball</td><td> 150 ft</td><td> S, A</td><td> 150 rds ea</td><td> Gunner</td></tr><tr><td> Mine Layer</td><td> varies</td><td> 20</td><td> varies</td><td> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> </li> </ul></li> </ul> </td><td>Single</td><td> 5 uses</td><td> Gunner or Commander</td></tr><tr><td> Smoke Grenade Launcher (2)</td><td> none</td><td> -</td><td> None</td><td> 50 ft</td><td> Semi</td><td> 12 grenades</td><td> Driver or Commander</td></tr></table> Firing PortsThere are six sealable ports, three each side, that infantry inside can fire up to a large sized rifle through, however suffers -2 to attack rollsMine LayerThe Goliath can deploy a minefield of EMP mines, requiring a Knowledge (tactics) DC 15 and 1d4+1 minutes work to deploy its mines to cover a 20 foot by 20 foot area for small mines, or 30 ft by 30 ft area for larger mines. Properly set, Spot/Search check DC 15 +1 / 5 points the commander beat the Knowledge (tactics) check, with a Reflex 15 +1 / 5 points the commander beat the knowledge (tactics) check to avoid trigger the mines. See d20 Modern/Future for EMP rules. Upgraded Goliath APCAn upgraded version is available for elite units who've successfully completed at least 20 missions and have at least 5 confirmed kills. The Goliath is fitted with slightly thicker armour, an upgraded engine, ammunition magazines are increased, half the smoke launchers are replaced with ALA launchers, and the standard ammunition is replaced with sub-calibre rounds, although can make use of normal ammunition.Make the following changes to the Goliath APC to make Upgraded Goliath APC:Increase hit points by +5;Increase Defense by +1;Increase Hardness to 15;Increase speed to 90 (9);Replace 2 smoke grenade launcher with 2 ALA launcherCan be loaded with Sub-Calibre Rounds for the 20mm Cannons;Increase Quad 20mm Cannon magazine to 175 rounds each;PDC +1. ALA - Anti-Laser Aerosol launchers release a cloud covering a 30 foot radius around the vehicle, reducing damage from laser based attacks by 50%. This cloud also grants some concealment of 10% miss chance. The cloud persists for 2d4 rounds, however strong winds of over 30 mph will dissipate the cloud in 2 rounds. The Laumer Abrams can use its heavy laser cannon while the cloud is active, but it only deals half damage as the cloud reduces its effectiveness. Sub-Calibre RoundsThese rounds are an upgrade for elite units. Granting +1 per die of damage, and increase range increment by 50 ft, and ignore 4 points of hardness.PDC +3</blockquote>
