Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 9481312" data-attributes="member: 6668634">Essence WolverineThe Essence Wolverine is an upgrade of the original Wolverine, with a less boxy design, with more curves and a little more humanoid looking than a box with legs and two chain guns on the sides. This design change gives it slightly better armour deflection capabilities, but gives it better climbing abilities than both the original and Mk2 Wolverines. It's slightly faster than the Mk2, but has lighter armour than the Mk2. The arms that mount the chainguns have a sliding armour covering that slides out along the bottom and sides of the barrels with rudimentary graspers that allows the pilot to pick up items and allow the Essence Wolverine to climb over obstacles the original and Mk2 couldn't. Essence WolverineSize: Large (-1)Bonus Hit Points: 50Superstructure: DuralloyHardness: 17Armour: AlumisteelBonus to Defense: +4 (-1 size)Armour Penalty: -4Reach: 10 ftStrength Bonus: +6Dexterity Penalty: Speed: 65 ftPurchase DC: 40SlotsHelmet: Class II Sensory SystemBack:  Ammo BinTorso: CockpitLeft Arm: Chaingun (1000 rds)Right Arm: Chaingun (1000 rds)Left Leg: Speed BoosterRight Leg: Speed BoosterComm SystemStandard Package Features: Bonuses: +2 Navigate, +2 Spot, NBC (+4 Fort Saves) sealed, +2 Climb.Weapons: 2 chainguns 4d10, 20, 150 ft, aSlam 1d8 bludgeoning, melee, reach 10 ft ChaingunThe chaingun is based on the minigun used by the US military, only with some upgrades, such as caseless ammunition, improved barrel materials to keep the rotating barrels cooler. Fires in autofire only, target a 20-foot-by-20-foot area instead of normal 10-foot-by-10-foot area, targets in area must make a Reflex save (DC 20) for half damage. Firing the chaingun uses 50 rounds, or 25 rounds with the Burst Fire feat. If both chainguns are used to target the same target area, increase damage to 6d10 and Reflex save DC 22 for half damage.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td> Weapon</td><td> Damage</td><td> Type</td><td> Crit</td><td> Range</td><td> Rate</td><td> Magazine</td></tr><tr><td> Chaingun (2)</td><td> 4d10</td><td> Ball</td><td> 20 x2</td><td> 150 ft</td><td> A</td><td> Linked</td></tr></table> Ammo BinThe back of the Wolverine mounts a large heavily armoured ammunition bin for the two arm mounted chainguns, divided in two, holding 5000 rounds for each weapon (10,000 total). In the event one weapon is disabled, both parts can feed a single weapon. Upgraded Essence WolverineAfter things settled down a bit after the 23 Hours and GDI sold off many of these Wolverines to the US military and other allied groups, a few upgrades were made to the mech.Make the following changes to Essence Wolverine make an Upgraded version:Add 10 hit points;Add 1 3-shot smoke grenade launchers;Add ALA system;Add Sub-Calibre Rounds;Add Reactive ArmourPDC: +1 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 Reactive ArmourThis is reactive armour added to the vehicle, which cancels half the hardness/DR ignoring effects of HEAT and similar missiles, rockets and projectile ammunition. 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. </blockquote>
