I was thinking of haveing them take two rounds once attached before they take control. That way there is time to get them off, but if you don't act quickly then they can be a risk. Especialy if you split up. Although that doesn't allow for any type of save so I might change it.Int damage could work, but would probably need more than d3 other wise they'd never be a real threat. So...How about, evey turn they start attached (like a stirge) the victim must make a will save DC6 +6 for every previous turn attached or lose their mind to the alien. A sucessful save means the alien must still be removed, but it has not taken control (perhaps it dies on a natural 20). This way all nearby agents always have at least one chance to help get it off before the save must be taken, and possibly more, but at the expense of takeing their focus off the rest of the battle.Theres always a danger of a sudden loss (except for those with good saves) but overall they will have time to get it off most times.Thats good, I'll use that.Im adding some misc stuff too. An X-Com Tactical Rifle, a Megapol riot shield, a wounding needle gun for the aliens, and an awesome remote suport tank (as seen in UFO defence).I'll hopefuly be starting it soon.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thanks again people.Regarding the actual game.I imagine the autocannon saw less use in turn based since it would use use more TUs right? Which seems such a shame. For real time it was one of the best in the game, I used it right to the end, way after all other human weapons were being used as paperweights. Really its just because of the incendinary rounds, which stoped the aliens fighting properly as well as acting as a perfect screen against hyper worms and those damn suicidal explosive things.</blockquote>
