Melee Weapons

Monomolecular Sword Strength+d8+2 AP 4 +1 Parry
Damage against Synthetic targets is increased by 1d6. Organic targets must make a Vigor
Electrified Baton Strength+d6 -
check at 2 or become Shaken.

Biotic Explosion
Place a Small Burst Template over the character that was hit by the attack. All characters other than the target and the attacker that are under the tem-
plate may attempt to Dive for Cover with an additional -2 penalty for each raise on the attack roll. Any character that failed their Dive for Cover roll suffers
2d6 damage, gets Knocked Back d3" directly away from the center of the burst (roll once for all targets), and becomes Prone. Raises on the triggering
attack roll increase the Knocked Back distance as normal. If a character contacts an obstruction while being Knocked Back, they suffer an additional 1d6
Kinetic damage. Once the Biotic Explosion is resolved, the triggering attack resolves with an additional 1d6 damage against the character that was directly
hit by the triggering attack.

Shields
If the damage equals or exceeds the characters Toughness, it loses one Shield layer, plus an additional layer of shielding for each raise on the damage
roll. If the amount of wounds taken exceeds the targets remaining layer of shields, apply a Shaken result and then wounds as normal for each additional
raise. Shields are not affected by Soak rolls. At the beginning of a characters initiative count, the character regains one layer of Shield. Characters with
active Shield layers are immune to effects that would cause them to be Knocked Back, Pulled, or to become Prone. Shields do not protect characters from
melee attacks.
