Grenades

A grenade is any hand, claw, or paw thrown area of effect weapon. Grenades are remarkable for their ease of use and even more remarkable for their deadliness. The grenade is particularly unintelligent and damages expedition members as indiscriminately as opponents. Grenades are imprecise and still manage to impact all targets within their area of effect.

The big bertha is a massive concussion grenade. Aside from inflicting massive damage, big bertha stuns and topples targets.

Big Bertha Effect
  • 8h range 12d12 damage

  • 12h range stun

  • 16h range topple

These effects are cumulative. A target within eight hexes takes damage, gets stunned and gets toppled. To avoid being stunned, the player must win a Damage System Shock roll (anthros only). To avoid being toppled, the player must win a dexterity Attribute Roll.

The name big bertha has its roots in mundane terran war history Big Bertha.

The corrosive grenade bathes the area of effect with acids, alkalis, or non-neutralizing combinations of both. The corrosive grenade’s contents are highly volatile but neutralize themselves on organic surfaces. This grenade is selectively more destructive to inorganic materials and robot personas. Organic targets suffer damage from the initial grenade explosion.

After the initial explosion, the residue will continue to eat away at inorganic materials. Metals, plastic, rubber, etc., continue to take damage until washed clean. Items such as armour, weapons, or robots will take an additional 2-20 hit points of damage for each of the continuing 1-8 units of reaction. E.g., an unwashed robot could take an additional 2-20 HPS for four units after the initial blast. Corrosive grenades are also known as acid baths and Drainoh bombs.

The cryoblast grenade freezes everything in its area of effect to a blast of extreme cold. The grenade can freeze things solid and can trap personas in ice. Medium or smaller, sized targets have a % chance, equal to the damage inflicted, of being trapped in the ice. So a medium-sized beasty that took 19 points of damage has a 19% chance of being frozen immobile. The cryoblast grenade can also freeze swords in scabbards, render buttons frozen, jam weapons, etc. The cryoblast is also known as a cryofrag, a berg bomb, or a rinkmaker.

An energy drain grenade will suck the life out of nearby potential energy stores (batteries) and self-destruct. Any batteries within a ten hex radius will be instantly devoid of charge. The grenade will shower a smaller three hex area of effect with its exploding fragments. This explosion will inflict 1d4 hit points of damage for every battery drained. An unlucky target has 16 batteries within the area of effect. The grenade explodes in 0 to 3 units—​inflicting 16d4 of damage to all within three hexes.

The energy drain grenade only works on discrete batteries storing potential energy. Continuous battery sources like broadcast or psionic batteries are immune. The energy drain grenade does not affect robots, powered armour, or vehicle power plants.

The energy drain grenade is also known as an Amp-ire grenade or a Never-ready.

The exploding pin grenade is a sadistic version of a micro grenade launcher. When an EPG goes off, it showers the four hex area of effect with tiny pins. These tiny pins will stick into the hardest of alloys (AR less than 1000). Whenever a pin hits, it will immediately explode, inflicting the 1d6 damage described above. The number of pins that hit a target depends on the target’s size. The larger the target, the more pins inflict damage.

Fusion Grenade Areas of Effect
  • 10h 10d12 damage

  • 15h immolation chance

  • 20h blinding flash

  • 30h radiation attack

Immolation

Any flammable object within 15 hexes of the epicentre has a chance of immolating. The immolation chance includes personas and equipment. The chance of immolation is equal to 1% per point of damage. Anything ignited by the grenade will burn until extinguished.

Blinding

Any personas within 20 hexes have a chance of being blinded. The chance of being blinded is 1/2% per point of damage. This attack affects both organic and inorganic personas and devices. Video sensors will restore vision in 1-10 (1d10) minutes.

Radiation

Any target within 30 hexes is subject to a lethal radiation attack. The intensity of the attack is equal to 1/10 of the damage.

The effects of a fusion grenade are cumulative and lethal. A persona that is within ten hexes taking 60 HPS of damage. First, she subtracts 60 HPS from HPS Total. Then she has a 60% chance of catching fire and a 30% chance of being blinded. Finally, she must make a roll versus intensity six lethal radiation.

Residual Radiation

For effect, the ref can make the ten hex radius of effect become a lingering radiation zone. The radiation intensity is 1/10 of the blast damage. The radiation zone’s intensity level will decrease by one point per hour, day, or week, depending on how dirty the grenade was.

The reader should have noticed that this is not a close combat weapon. More observant readers have noticed that a persona cannot throw a fusion grenade safely out of range.

Fusion grenades are also known as micro-nukes, CQ bombs, and tactical nukes.

The gravruptor grenade generates 1-6 random gravities of anomalous attraction. The effect will either smash targets into the ground, throw them high into the air, or fling them off into space. The gravruptor grenade produces an instantaneous burst of random acceleration. Newtonian physics conveniently need not apply. Objects greater than 2 tonnes in wate are not affected by this grenade’s attack.

Up

25% of the time, the gravruptor grenades reverses gravity by 1-6 (1d6) gravities. Reversing gravity accelerates everything in the opposite direction to the present gravity. The general effect is that things go flying into the air. All items fly one hex in the air per anomalous gravity. There is no damage from flying into the air or accelerating back down to the ground. However, the deceleration of hitting the ground inflicts 1-6 (1d6) hit points per gravity. Colliding with an immobile object along the path of the toss will also inflict 1-6 (1d6) hit points per gravity.

Down

The remaining 75% of the time, the gravruptor grenade will add 1-6 g to the local terrain. Increasing gravity causes personas to crash to the ground and vehicles to grind into the dirt. This pressing problem will also inflict damage to all targets in the area of effect. This damage is 1 to 12 (1d12) hit points in damage per extra gravity. E.g., three gravities would smash targets into the ground for 3-36 (3d12) hit points of damage.

All Around

This weapon is a ZOG (zero gravity) combat weapon. The gravruptor flings enemy combatants off into space. All targets accelerate away from the epicentre at 1-6 (1d6) gravities. This acceleration inflicts 1 to 6 (1d6) hit points of damage per gravity of acceleration. The targets are also flying away at one h/u for every 2 points of damage. Consider a gravruptor grenade that generated five gravities on detonation The referee generates 16 HPS of damage using 5d6. Each target subtracts 16 HPS from their HPS Total and is flying away at eight h/u.

The gravruptor grenade is also known as a downer or a jump bomb.

The magnetic disruptor grenade resembles an implosive super magnet. When detonated, this grenade attracts loose items towards its epicentre. The disruptor will attract anything inorganic: metals, alloys, plastic, wood, etc. Armour may get ripped off of personas. Tools may tear from utility belts. Weapons may fly from the paws of personas. Unless the terrain is intentionally completely barren, there will always be stuff to attract.

These high-speed projectiles smash into all targets within the area of effect. The targets closest to the detonation endure more hurtling stuff. The damage increases the closer the target is to the epicentre of the grenade detonation. A persona 12h out from the target hex takes 1d4 hit points of damage. A persona in the target hex takes 12d4hit points of damage.

A physical strength attribute roll is required if the referee feels something could fly out of a persona’s grip. The closer to the epicentre, the harder it is to hang onto stuff. The attribute challenge is versus 24 at the epicentre and two at the periphery (12 hexes).

Mini grenades are so small and light that they don’t throw very far. The player must win an attack roll to damage a target using a mini grenade. A miss with a mini grenade explodes loudly and harmlessly. The target’s size determines its armour rating, and bigger targets are easier to hit. The target does not use its regular combat armour rating and must use the target size AR. The target’s armour rating should decrease, which follows the spirit of grenades being area of effect attacks.

If the persona does not have a grenades skill, there is an attack roll penalty. Three grenades have attack roll penalties of -100, -200 and -300. Two grenades have attack roll penalties of -100 and -200. A single mini grenade attack has no penalties.

Mini grenades are also known as pea grenades or pill grenades. High-tech level mini grenades can become extremely small.

The multiple explosive grenades are the "exploding cigars" of lethal combat. This grenade initially explodes like any other grenade, but similarities end there. After the first explosion, the grenade flies into the air, only to land and explode again. The number of detonations, area of effect and damage is determined each time.

The successive explosions will occur 0 to 3 units apart. The location of the explosion is 0-5 (1d6-1) hexes in a random direction. The easiest way to determine is to make a random facet roll.

The napalm grenade covers an area with an adhesive flaming goo. The napalm grenade is unique in that it has a swath area of effect instead of a spherical area of effect. The grenade launches itself into the air for an eight hex trip raining adhesive flammables all along its course. Usually, this grenade will launch itself in the same direction that the persona threw it. If the thrower is unskilled in grenade combat and rolls less than 200 on her attack roll, the napalm grenade will launch itself in a random direction.

Anything caught in this blazing area of effect will take 6-60 (6d10) hit points of damage and immediately immolate. Immolation lasts for 2-8 (2d4) units, inflicting 2-24 (2d12) hit points of damage every unit. The two hex by eight hex patch of flaming death will burn itself out in 1 to 10 minutes. Referees should also be prepared to consider the effects of smoke inhalation if used indoors.

The torc grenade is the anti-force field grenade. A torc grenade does no damage unless the target is within a force field. The grenade affects any force field that makes contact with the radius of the torc grenade. Any tactical, personal or battery-powered force field will instantly be exhausted. A force field powered by a renewable power plant returns in 1 to 10 minutes. The torc grenade cannot damage a civic or naval forcefield. The grenade may create a temporary hole in such force fields to assist the story.

The collapse of the shield delivers 12-144 (12d12) hit points of damage. The damage is only for those targets inside the force field.

The torc grenade is also known as a force field disruptor.

Description

Not all grenades are created equal. Even the same grenade type may have different shapes and colours. The random descriptions of grenades in EXP arise from the technological chaos. Different companies, species, technologies, and regulations are all mixed. Grenades lack identifying markings. Identification of a grenade depends on instinct, feel and other indicators.

The bomb adornment table is used here because this author is efficient and preserves electrons. Adornments are the most fun and aggravating descriptors of grenades.

Bomb Strange Adornment

The adornment may be relevant to the bomb’s function, but most likely not.

Grenade Parameters

For details on the special elements of grenade combat jump to GrenadeCombat.

Range

The range of a grenade depends entirely on the thrower. A persona can throw a grenade one hex per point of physical strength There is no guarantee that a persona can throw a grenade further than its area of effect.

Area Of Effect

The area of effect represents the radius of the sphere affected by the grenade. For example, a fragmentation grenade has an area of effect of 1 hex. Any target with the target hex and the surrounding hex is affected. Personas above the target hex are also impacted because the area of effect is spherical.m The area of effect of a grenade is indiscriminate and any fellow expedition members caught in the area of effect are impacted.

Damage

The damage parameter has a range of hit points and the dice for calculating the damage amount in parentheses. If there is no damage parameter listed, the weapon likely has some other horrible effect.

Wate

The wate of the grenade in kilograms.

EXPS

The persona gets this value for identifying the grenade. The player may identify the grenade before or after detonation.

Value

The value of the grenade in eps.
