Alien RP :: EXP The Game of Technological Chaos

Alien RP Relevance

Not all RPs are created equal. Some personas are less important than others. The referee usually knows the importance of the persona before she starts generation. An RP’s relevance increases the more entangled they are with the expedition.

**Random Referee Persona Relevance**

Note the difference between CaNNon Fodder and CaNon Fodder. Author thought this was funny.

Cannon Fodder

Cannon fodder are like movie extras that fill in the background. Alien cannon fodder are the harmless flora and fauna of a forest. Alien cannon fodder are also the sidewalk civilians of an advanced society. Alien sidewalk civilians fill the streets of a city, village, or spacecraft.

Cannon Fodder

offer no opposition
have no useful information
have no nutritional value, monetary value or useful parts.

Unlike anthro cannon fodder, the referee cannot generate alien cannon fodder on the fly. An alien has too many parts, literally, for the referee to create them on the fly.

It is possible to create new cannon fodder members from an existing alien species. If the expedition is tearing things up in an alien city, there will be the equivalent of sidewalk civilians. The generic attribute for alien sidewalk civilians depends on the size of the alien.

Cannon fodder does not mean expendable without consequence. Hunting flora and fauna may be against the law. Alien societies may have laws protecting their defenceless comrades.

Canon Fodder

Canon fodder may have bit parts in the story but does not make the story. Alien canon fodder are usually dangerous flora or fauna or adversarial alien combatants.

Canon Fodder

could act in opposition to the expedition’s goals
could injure or kill a player persona
could accidentally alter the story of a campaign
could have nutritional, financial or information value

The referee usually predetermines the goal of canon fodder. The referee creates as much information as needed. The alien could be an indigenous predator that eats anthros. The alien could be a one-off monster in some post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Canon fodder can be extremely dangerous to the expedition. They are there to get in the way of the player’s goals. The referee should complete a persona record sheet for alien canon fodder. There are too many moving parts with alien RPs to make them on the fly.

Canonical Persona

Canonical personas are like supporting actors that make the story possible. These referee personas are integral participants in the campaign story. They can be powerful recurring enemies or comrades in arms. Canonical referee personas are the real deal. These referee personas utilize every step of persona creation. They have all the dressings of a player persona. Only the player personas are more important to the story.

Canonical referee persona aliens usually require background on their species as well as the specific persona. In the case of recurring flora and fauna, the species background can be brief. In the case of a tool using creator society, the species background represents serious work.

Species vs Solitary

The alien created is usually a member of a species. The species could be mundane flora and fauna, an invading alien horde, or a solo first encounter. The species may define everything about the referee persona. Every member of the species may all have the same size, shape, belief and personality. A homogeneous alien species is undoubtedly the easiest pathway for the referee. How the referee persona fits into this depends on her campaign milieu and back story.

An alien referee persona need not be part of an entire species. There are many story-based explanations of solitary aliens. The alien may be the sole member of an alien species so distant they will never be part of the story. The alien may be the sole survivor of a species that suffered some cataclysm. The alien may have been grown in a mad biologist’s vat for nefarious purposes.

Alien RP Record Sheet

The referee persona record sheet is just another persona record sheet. There are few bonus elements of which the referee must keep track. Most player personas do not have elements like personality, politics or religion. The referee can also use the persona record sheet to keep track of interactions with the expedition. Alien RPs have a lot of essential data, and a complete persona record is best.

If it’s worth playing, it’s worth writing down.

Alien RP Attributes

Alien RP attributes have the same ranges as player persona alien attributes. If the referee is looking for a particular configuration of attributes, she can change them in the Modifications section.

Alien RP Size

The size of the alien RP affects its appearance, wate and hits points. Alien RPs can have extremely small or large sizes that are not available to player personas. These extreme sizes are called Minute and Humongous.

**Alien Size**
Alien size can be optionally adjusted by DEX and PSTR.
Die Roll (1d100)	Alien Size	Wate Range (kgs)	Wate Die Roll
01-05	Tiny	0-9	1d10-1
06-25	Small	1-50	1d50

97-00	Gigantic	606-6600	6d1000+600
Die Roll (1d100)	Alien Size	Wate Range (kgs)	Wate Die Roll
Tiny RP aliens may be Minute. Gigantic RP aliens may be Humongous.

Extremely Tiny

Any Tiny alien has a 1 in 6 chance to be Minute instead. Minute aliens have a WATE of 0 to 999 grams (1d1000-1). A Minute alien will never have a WATE greater than a kilogram. Being Minute decreases the alien’s PSTR and HPS but does not affect other attributes.

Minute Alien HPS and PSTR adjustment

PSTR = (rolled PSTR) * (wate/1000)

An alien with 50 HPS, 12 PSTR, and 500 gm Wate would have 25 HPS and 6 PSTR.
The minimum PSTR and HPS of a Minute alien are 1.

Extremely Gigantic

Any Gigantic alien has a 1 in 6 chance to be Humongous instead. Humongous aliens have a WATE of 6 to 300 tons (1d50 times 6). Being a humongous alien is just an inconvenience as they have no alteration in their attributes or hit points.

Alien RP Hit Points

Bigger aliens tend to have more hit points than smaller aliens. Minute aliens must apply their size modification to the hit points generated here.

**Alien Hit Points (HPS)**
The player rolls 1 die per point of CON.
Alien Size	HPS Range	Die Rolled
Tiny	1-104	1d4
Small	1-156	1d6
Medium	1-208	1d8
Large	1-312	1d12
Gigantic	1-520	1d20

Alien RP Attack Frequency

The number of attacks indicates the number of attack rolls the referee makes each unit. This attack frequency is only for the alien’s naturally evolved attacks and does not apply to equipment weapons.

**Number of Alien Attacks**
Determines how many natural attacks the alien can make each combat unit.
Die Roll (1d100)	Attack Frequency
01-10	1 per 2 units

Add 1/3 DEX score to this roll. 1 per 2 is one attack every other unit.

Alien RP Damage per Attack

Bigger aliens tend to inflict more damage than smaller aliens. Minute aliens must apply their PSTR modification before determining their damage per attack. The damage per attack is only for the alien’s naturally evolved attacks and does not apply to equipment weapons.

**Alien Damage Per Attack**

Alien Attack Type

The vast majority of aliens will bite, slap, punch and kick their way through combat. Other attack types exist. For simplicity, the attack type will apply to all of the alien’s attacks. The referee can make multiple rolls on this table to give her RP alien with multiple attacks different kinds of attacks. For instance, an alien with three attacks per unit could have three Type A attacks or two Type A attacks and one Type B attack.

**Alien Attack Type**
Determine the attack type of the alien’s naturalized attack.
Die Roll (d100)	Attack Type	Examples
01-75	Type A	Bite, punch, lick, rake, gore
76-97	Type B	Spit, breath, quill, spray

Alien RP Armour Rating

How hard is it to damage this alien in combat?

AR = 500 + 3d100

Rolling 15, 89 and 64, would give an AR of 668.

Alien RP Wate Allowance

The wate allowance is the same for all personas. The WA indicates how much the alien can carry without being encumbered.

Alien RP Shape

The alien shape is entirely random and makes for very diverse corporeal denizens. For more details about alien shape, jump to Detailed explanation exist at Alien Shape.

The referee makes four rolls on the Alien Body Parts Table. One roll for each of the four body parts that compose the alien. Each body part has a terrain type associated with it. The terrain type is in brackets and looks like (l, a, w, s). It is crucial to record the terrain type along with the shape of the body part.

Roll once for each body part.

Head
Torso
Arms

Alien RP Movement Rate

Alien movement rate is as important as size in regards to combat. The shape of the alien determines whether it hops, slithers, flaps, or gallops along. More detail is available at Alien Movement

Movement Unit

move (h/u) = DEX / 4

An alien with a 12 DEX would have a base movement unit of 3 h/u.

Add the terrain types (l, a, w) for each body part shape and multiply them by the movement unit.

**Calculating Alien Movement**
16 DEX move unit 4 h/u. Body parts: Sheep (l), Wasp (la), Duck (law) and None (s).
Terrain Type	Score	Move Unit	Move Rate
Land - (l)	3	4 h/u	12 h/u
Air - (a)	2	4 h/u	8 h/u
Water - (w)	1	4 h/u	4 h/u

The body shape 'none' is sessile and has no movement rate.

Alien RP Mutations

Aliens have a chance of getting mutations. However, they are more like natural abilities that function as mutations. An alien’s mutations apply to the entire species and are more like naturally evolved defensive or offensive abilities. Therefore, alien mutations are not considered mutations in the usual sense — as if they were abnormalities or variations from the norm.

An entire alien species can have a defect. The defective mutation will likely inform the alien species' culture, history, and society.

In the case of potent mutations like time stop or death field generation limitations are recommended. All alien species members do not possess the ability, or the ability may transiently arise.

Mental Abilities

The chance of an alien having a mental mutation is equal to the alien’s mental strength attribute score. An alien with a 15 MSTR would have a 15% chance of having a mental mutation. If the alien has a defective mutation, the player gets another roll on the mutation table. Aliens do not have multiple mental mutations. To determine the mutation like ability jump to Mental Mutations.

Physical Abilities

The chance of a creature having evolved a physical mutation is equal to the alien’s constitution attribute score. An alien with a 10 CON has a 10% chance of having a physical mutation. If the alien has a defective mutation, the player gets another roll on the mutation table. Aliens do not have multiple physical mutations. To determine the mutation like ability jump to Physical Mutations.

Extremely Short Life Spans

If the alien’s life span is less than ten years, there is a 1 in 6 (1d6) chance that the alien will have an extremely short life span. Extremely short life spans should influence the alien RP’s biology and society. Short-lived species often depend on large numbers of offspring requiring minimal energy exertion. This biological process is called progeny over prodigy.

Extremely Long Life Spans

If the alien’s life span is more than 10000 years, there is a 1 in 6 (1d6) chance that the alien will have an extremely long life span. Extremely long life spans should influence the alien RP’s biology and society. Long-lived species often devote increased energy to fewer, more advanced offspring. This biological process is called prodigy over progeny.

Extremely Long Life Spans

100000 - 100000000 (100000 * 1d1000) years

500 on the 1d1000 yields a life span of 50 million years.

Alien RP Society

Alien society is something for the referee to consider and prepare for her campaign carefully. A single alien society can be the basis for an entire campaign. The process for determining an alien player persona’s society is complex and time-consuming.

For alien referee personas, the society and tech levels are on one table. The referee generates a society level and then generates the tech level in a second roll. There is a much higher chance of an alien having a vocation and having tech level creator.

The society levels are cumulative. If the alien has Education, she automatically has Culture and Language. For a refresher on the implications of alien society jump to Alien Society.

No Language

Aliens with no language are the flora and fauna of the world. The abilities, size and life-span of the alien determine where they fit in on the food chain. Aliens can always communicate amongst themselves. The lack of language prevents higher-level organization or communications across the species. If an alien with no language is a canonical referee persona, she will have some way to communicate with her expedition members.

Language

Aliens with language can communicate amongst themselves and with expedition members. This language has no impact on tool usage. An alien with the ability to communicate may still lack any concept of using a tool. If the referee wishes, she can burden the alien with a religious belief.

Religious Belief

The list here describes the structure of the religious belief. The referee and her milieu determine the nomenclature, structure, hypocrisy, and corruption of the political system. This belief applies explicitly to the alien referee persona. The referee may wish to roll different beliefs for the entire species.

Culture

Culture allows the aliens to organize their species with a common culture. Aliens with culture also have language. Culture and language have no impact on tool usage. An alien with the ability to communicate may still lack any concept of using a tool. If the referee wishes, she can burden the alien with a political belief.

Education

An alien with education will also have culture and language. Education indicates that the species can train its members and pass on information from one generation to the next. Education does not indicate anthro-like vocations. While tool use is nearly guaranteed, an alien species with education may still eschew all technology. If the referee wishes, she can burden the alien with a philosophical belief.

Vocation

Aliens with vocations represent the highest level of societal development. Aliens with vocation have education, culture, and language as well. This alien species will certainly embrace technology, but there is no guarantee that they have unleashed their full technological creativity. Only tool usage decides if the species has reached the coveted creator level.

Alien RP Vocation

Aliens at the societal level of vocation roll a vocation type. This vocation type is for the specific alien referee persona, and the species will have all vocations.

Tool Score	Tool Usage	Description

None Tool User

The alien species has no concept of a tool. They would never consider an artifact as anything other than a rock or branch to step over. This tool ignorance transcends language, culture, and education. This alien can only solve a problem using its body parts. This alien only drinks water. She would never collect water.

Simple Tool User

Simple tool usage is limited to non-powered tools that require constant physical effort. These tools depend on the environment of the alien’s biome. If the alien species has no language, the tools are limited to the temporary use of sticks or rocks. If the alien species has language, they can have re-usable tools and employ wind, water and gravity to their advantage.

This alien does not use mundane equipment or artifacts at all. This alien would only ever use her natural attacks in combat. This alien may use a rock to smash something. This alien could use a stick to reach something.

Tech Tool User

This alien species utilizes any device that reduces their physical workload. These devices can use electricity, steam, and springs. They have complicated clockwork machines but no computational devices.

The alien can use all Mundane Equipment. This alien may have survival equipment for their terrain. This alien may have an artifact but lacks knowledge of how it works. High-tech artifacts may be mistaken for magic. A tech tool using alien RP gets one roll on the Limited TOY Table below. The tech level of the toy rolled cannot exceed TL 10.

Comp Tool User

This alien species can use electronic devices that can replace all physical work. These devices include computers, telecommunications, and encryption. There may be rudimentary robots and faux autonomous intelligence. The comp level tool user does not have access to physics-defying technologies. As a species, homo sapiens of mundane terra are at this level.

This alien can use all mundane tools, but she will prefer to use toys. A comp tool user gets one roll per two EXPS levels on the Limited TOY Table below. The tech level of the toy rolled cannot exceed TL 10.

Creator

There is no limit to what creators can make and create. Creator alien species have space travel, special drives, autonomous intelligence, robots, and more. Creativity is their only limit. An alien species can reach creator-level tool use without evolving vocations.

This alien has an intimate relationship with and understanding of technological devices. This alien can combine toys for synergistic effects. Creators get one roll on the regular TOYS table per EXPS Level. Treasure and Random Junque do not count as a TOYS roll for creators. Creator aliens can amass great wealth as well as deadly weapons.

Alien RP Combat Table

The combat table keeps track of the persona’s combat skills and increases with EXPS level. The referee may need two combat tables for her tool using aliens. For general info about combat tables, jump to Combat Tables in tactical combat. For a detailed explanation of the outline below jump to Alien Combat Table.

Naturally Evolved Attacks

The combat table calculated here is for the alien’s naturally evolved attacks and is not used for any tool using attacks. The referee must generate an anthro-based vocation combat table for tool users. For the vocation based combat table, jump to Anthro combat table.

Alien RP Biology

Alien biology assigns terrain, eating habits, reproduction etc. The referee should always massage the alien biology to work best within her campaign milieu. Many alien species will have evolved beyond the most primal aspects of their biology. It would be unlikely for a creator tool user to still ambush prey in the desert, but their restaurants may reflect this biological history.

Alien RP Combat Ratio

Combat Ratio (CR) is how tough the referee persona is. The CR is a number that pretends to measure how dangerous an RP is in combat. The higher the combat ratio, the more powerful an adversary the referee persona is. The CR is used to determine the EXPS value and number of attackers.

The Combat Ratio number indicates how many player personas represent a fair fight. For this process, a player persona is a level one anthro persona with a typical combat table.

A CR of 20 indicates that the solitary referee persona could handle 20 player personas. This referee persona is very dangerous. A CR of 1/10 indicates that ten referee personas are needed to fight one player persona. This referee persona is very weak in combat.

The combat ratio does not determine precisely how many referee personas show up in an encounter. The milieu and the story determine the number of referee personas., not the CR.

Calculating a Combat Ratio

RPs initial CR is 1
Add all the Pluses to the CR
Multiply all the Times to the CR
Combat ratio does not follow BODMAS

CR = (1 + all Pluses) * all Times

An RP with a Plus 1, Plus 4, Plus 2, Times 1.25, and Times 2.0
(1 + 1 + 4 + 2) * 1.25 * 2.0 = 20

Alien RP Story

The referee persona’s story is a skeleton to help the referee create a backstory. Alien society and alien tool usage heavily influence the nature of the alien’s story. Connon fodder flora and fauna will not have goals like reordering the universe,. A creator species that lives 2 million years may have nothing to do but reorder the universe.

Flora and fauna that have an origin of "off-planet" can be a source of mystery. A creator alien that has an origin of "off-planet" may have a spaceship nearby.

This section is an aid to creativity, not a replacement for creativity.

Origin

The past story element is a geographic cue for the referee and players. This location history helps determine if this persona is exotic or mundane. The details of the persona’s origin may fit into the current milieu or require the referee to extend her world.

Alien RP Personality

Personality traits help guide the referee when the RP is making decisions. While it is fun to play up an RP’s personality, the referee must remember the pithy aphorism; less is more. The players should be guiding the story, not a strong-willed referee (persona).

How the alien expresses these personality traits is up to the referee. If an alien does not have language, she cannot express complex emotions. Aliens like flora and fauna can have personalities. The personality would determine how the referee persona interacts with the players. A local alien without language or tool use may flee in terror with the presentation of a book (bibliophobia)

The personality types are organized by how strongly they influence the persona’s decision.

The initial die roll is on the Extroverted Personality Trait table. However, the persona is more likely to have an introverted personality trait.

Die Roll	Personality	Description

Extroverted

Extroverted personality traits are not irrational. They are just obvious. A diplomatic RP will not try to negotiate with a heavy combot. She will run away. A diplomatic RP may intercede between player persona arguments about loot distribution. The expedition can win over an extroverted personality trait with some convincing.

Introverted

These are not immediately obvious to the players. The referee persona may have opinions based on the personality trait, but she will readily agree with the expedition. An introverted personality trait may influence a referee’s "behind the shield" decision.

Insane

Insane personality traits are not clinical illnesses. The traits are not illnesses from the DSM. They are personality traits so strong that the RP may make the wrong decision and cannot be convinced otherwise.

The insanity may be overt and quickly discovered by the expedition. Or it may be hidden and discovered when it is too late.

Insanity is not role-played as a disease but as a decision influencer.

Extroverted and introverted personality traits will not put the persona in harm’s way. Insane personality traits can put the whole expedition in harm’s way. These are the kind of traits that will override the better, often safer, decision.

The expedition can influence extroverted and introverted personality traits to do what is best for the expedition. Insane personality traits are immune to the rational input of the expedition.

These are not actual insanities but influences that lead to bad decisions.

Alien RP Appearance

An RPs appearance has three elements: clothing, hygiene and gender. All of them are optional.

Gender

Gender represents appearance only. Gender does not represent genetics, sexuality, reproduction, or employment. It is up to the referee to decide how gender appearance applies to a parasitic psionic ambushing insect.

**Gender Appearance**
Gender is an appearance and neither physiology nor sexuality.

Clothing

Clothing is appearance only. Clothing does not represent the culture, gender, occupation or personality of the referee persona.

Alien RP clothing is unique to the alien. At best, the clothing type loosely informs the appearance of the clothing.

Flora and fauna have NO clothing.

**Referee Persona Clothing**
Clothing is appearance and does reflect culture.

Alien RP Modifications

Often a referee will want a tiny alien, a dumb alien, a slow alien, or even a stupid, slow, small alien (prey). Alien attributes tend to be higher than other personas. Descriptors such as tough, smart and strong give attribute values relative to anthro personas. This table may fall short if the referee is trying to generate an alien persona stronger than other aliens in her species. The downwards attribute modifications are most helpful.

Alien RP Name

The alien should have a name as any other player persona does. The referee may have to name both a referee persona and an alien species. For alien, naming shenanigans jump to Alien Name.
