Grammaton Cleric O.C.C.

Powers, Abilities & Bonuses

In addition to training in military tactics and strategy, weapons and armaments, as well as cultivating a body that has the
right mix of speed, endurance and precision, driven by cunning, the Grammaton Cleric is driven to destroy his enemies. As
an exterminator or those that feel emotions.
1. Champion of the Tetragrammaton Council. A cleric must be strong of mind, of body, and of spirit, He serves a nation and protects
the people. His loyalty is to that nation and its ideals, and a good cleric is ready to lay down his life for cause and country. That cause,
in the Grammaton Clerics mind, is as follows.
Seek out and eradicate the true source of mans inhumanity to man, his ability to feel.
Obey the laws of the Tetragrammaton Council.
Obey all the words of Father as they are law.
2. Hand to Hand Martial Arts Skill. Kendo, as the basis for the character's combat skills.
3. Mystic Martial Art Power (special). The character has been initiated into the practice of Gun Kata, gun-wielding martial art
discipline. It is based on the premise that, given the positions of the participants in a gun battle, all trajectories of fire are statistically
predictable. By memorizing the positions, one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him in the traditional
sense. By the same token, the trajectories of incoming fire are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stance, one
can keep clear of the most likely path of enemy bullets. Considered the ultimate mastery of fighting with guns. From the perspective
of the Grammaton Cleric, this is the only fighting skill a "modem" warrior needs.
Weapons: May use any of the handguns and rifles, can pick up and use any type of gun, from any period of time, from any land or
world in the Megaverse, and use it as if he was born with one in each hand.
The Gun Kata
lst Level: Start with:
1. W.P. Paired Weapons: Gun. Practiced, coordinated use of two guns fired/used simultaneously at the same or two different targets;
see Sharpshooting for details.
2. One with the Gun. Use any kind of gun (projectile or energy) as if the character has trained with it for years, with the exception of
heavy weapons. The following bonuses apply when using a gun in combat, either shooting or as a blunt weapon: +2 on initiative, +2 to
strike (in hand to hand combat or gunfire); +1 to disarm using firearms (shoots weapon out of an opponent's hand) at levels 1, 4, 8, 12
and 15. Additional bonuses are made available from other skills. Sharpshooting and as the character advances in The Gun Kata (levels
of experience).
3. S.D.C. Bullets into M.D. Rounds. Channeling Chi to make the bullet/round of any gun. revolver. pistol, rifle, etc. become a MegaDamage projectile. Good against M.D.C. armored opponents, vehicles, dragons, demons, Goblins and Mega-Damage beings with a
physical body. Does not work on the undead, ghosts, entities, the intangible or energy beings. Mega.Damage is the same amount as the
S.D.C. ammunition, so if a bullet does 4D6 S.D.C. it can be made to inflict 4D6 M.D. P.P.E. Cosl: Two points per melee round of
shooting total per gun (4 P.P.E. if two guns are being firedd that melee round).
4. W.P. Sharpshooting Gun Kata (Special): Sharpshooting is a combination of special expertise and trick shooting with a particular
type of weapon, typically revolvers, pistols and energy pistols, but sometimes includes rifles. It was first developed by the Gunfighters
of North America. The Grammaton Clerics skill, however, goes beyond the normal skin of Gunfighters. Gunslingers and their ilk, and
enters into the realm of the mystical or supernatural. This is due, in large part, to the character's channeling of Chi (represented by
P.P.E.) into his mastery of guns and years of training with all varieties of guns. In short, gunplay becomes this character's special
power and Mystic Martial Arts ability. In the special case of the Grammaton Cleric, W.P. Sharpshooting includes a/l types of ancient
and modem firearms, including revolvers, pistols, rifles, shotguns, submachine-guns, and rifle style grenade launchers.
Weapon Restrictions: Machine-guns, rail guns, flame throwers, bazookas, rocket and mini-missile launchers, and similar heavy
weapons are NOT included, mainly because precision shooting and one-handed shooting is not possible with these weapons.
Sharpshooting does not apply to melee weapons such as clubs, maces, knives, swords, axes, whips, or even spears, and other weapons
that can be thrown. Nor does it include bows and arrows (only firearms), so it cannot be combined with the W.P. Archery & Targeting
skill.
W.P. Sharpshooting Bonuses: All bonuses are in addition to those from other skills, attributes ,U1d level advancement.
The Sharpshooter's "Aimed" Shot (applicable to both the single shot and the aimed burst shots): +1 to strike, plus an extra +I for
every five P.P. points abO"e 20. Applies to aimed, burst. and CalledShots only. No bonuses for wild shooting.
The Sharpshooter's "Called" Shot: The Sharpshooter's "aimed" shot bonuses are NOT applicable when using this special "'Called
Shot." Instead the Gun Master uses the following superior bonuses: + I to strike, plus an extra +I for every additional three P.P. points
above 18, but the bonuses are ani)' applicable when using a gun for this special "C'llled Shot"; counts as two melee attacks/actions.
Quick Draw with Gun: +2 to initiative, plus an extra + I On initiative for every foUl' P.P. points above 18.
+ I melee attack/action when using one or two guns for the entire melee round. (Note: They have no other W.P.s.) Sharpshooting

few oth:rs) gets ALL six!
I. Can fire a traditional two-handed weapon, like a rine, one handed without penalry (nonnally the shooter loses all strike bonuses).
2. Can shoot over his shoulder by holding up a mirror and using the reflection to aim. The Gun Master keeps full ~nuses to strike.
3. Accurately shoot while riding a horse or a moving vehicle (normally a wild shot), but strike bonuses are half and a "called" shot is
impossible (-8 to strike and strike bonuses do not apply).
4. Shoot accurately while standing on head or hanging upside down; all bonuses applicable at full.
5. Dodge, roll or somersault and come up shooting (normally a wild shot), no bonuses or penalties to strike; straight roll of the dice.

projectile ricochetslbounces off and hits a different/ second target! Inflicts only one point of damage to the first surface and full.
damage to the second. Reduce bonuses to strike by half. This can also be done with laser weapons but the ricocheting surface must be

Patient Gun), above.
