Megaman X into spycraft

[Aryxbez]

This pretty much pertains to trying to convert the Megaman X stuff to fit with Spycraft. I chose spycraft because it has the whole special operatives/agents idea. The Maverick Hunters of Megaman X series fit that bill perfectly. Now of course I won't be playing this setting any time soon, however I do wish to create in the future so that I will be ready when I wish to play it.

So, people knowledgeable in the Megaman X series is Highly Recommended and Welcomed. Of course any other help is fine too

Stuff that I talk about is what is appropriate in this series and what isnt. What to use for certain things like the X-buster and so on.

Here is a link to help from the wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_X_%28series%29

List of Mavericks (bosses in the game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mavericks

[Darkmeer]

Okay, Let's start with Campaign Qualities:
Bottomless Clip (main weapon system only), Faction (Maverick or Hunter), Modular (mainly for those "weak" reploids who are amazingly good elsewhere), Paranoid, and Tense. 

Wire Fu also fits, but I think that the above fit the mood of the series fairly well. 

Megaman X 1 probably has the least bit of Paranoid and Tense, but afterwards everything should make sense.

[Darkmeer]

Next are the "Races" of Megaman X, as of Megaman X 1. 

Reploid Types are determined by the outer physical body's "shell," so to speak.  You have Animal-Human crossovers, which allows for a greater range of character sizes AND attributes. 

For Flyers
+4 Dex, -2 Str, -2 Con (?)
You gain the Winged flight ability  and can fly with a speed of 50
You gain the improved vision NPC quality: Your base visual range is equal to your Wisdom score × 20 ft. Further, unless you are blinded, the range penalty applied to your ranged attacks is reduced by 2 (minimum -0)
Your starting action die is reduced by 1.

For the big bruiser types, any type of "ogre" would work fine.  Something like (5)
+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, -2 Charisma
Large (reach 2) 2x2
You gain the Berserker Basics feat. 

For those in "harsh environments"
Damage Resistance, 10 points (versus their environment)
Base speed is increased to 40'
Your current lowest attribute increases by 1. This increase applies to your lowest attribute at career level 5, 10, 15 & 20
Achilles Heel (whatever the opposing environmental weapon would be). 

Most of the others can actually be covered using standard talents. 

Also, for every player, the "Extra Gear" and "Favored Gear" attached to their weapon of choice, basically allowing the players the ability to have the weapon of choice at lower levels.  One could possibly just give the players these feats, but why not make 'em work for it.  You could add the feat purchase campaign quality, but that still puts the players at higher levels before they get their favorite gear.  Mind you, I think all the mavericks and hunters you play in the games are at least character level 6 or above.  In the scenario where you start at level 1, you are a grunt, and have little choice in ability. 

Next post will be gear...  prolly in the next couple of days.

Okay, Let's start with Campaign Qualities:

I will have to get back to you on that subject, as I don't really know much of it. However I will look it up later and give you my comments then.

Next are the "Races" of Megaman X, as of Megaman X 1.

Wouldn't it be better to cover more wider areas of Reploids? Also why not use the spycrafts normal origins? Also your races does not cover the Sea based Reploids. Although I am guessing you are making the ones that are practical, and will be usable for the setting.

I'm not sure if the big strong individuals were large sized, indeed very tall however, Large size I am unsure on. Also I don't think the big guys were beserking types, just hasn't seem to hit as that.

Also would like to mention that I have  feats for this sorta thing. Quite a bit of stuff, that it apparently goes over the max of characters on this board, so I am unsure whether or not I should post it here. As it would take 2 posts most likely to fit it all.

Also on the owning of favored weapon, I'm sure the PC's will own their favorite weapon, as I don't recall them being that expensive.

You could try using 'Level 1 only' feats instead of Talents to approach the Reploids. I don't know much about the Megaman X games, but how much of a machine are the Reploids? Do they eat, sleep, breathe, etc.? Because if you go feat or Talent, that should be noted somewhere as well.

They can eat, but don't need to, just there to make the humans feel more comfortable around them. Also I believe they need to sleep, at least I will use the rules for d20 modern that they need to sleep. Breathing, they do breathe, however I think they can breathe underwater and maybe even in space? Also got free will to think for themselves, so they pretty much break Asimov law of robotics.

Also If you care enough you can look it up at the wikipedia, might help to follow my links. Although If you don't, which is fine, as long as I have someone to help me with this, I am happy.

Anyhoo Foghorn, that's something that will need to be noted.  They do need sleep, and if you follow some of the wierd continuity, they could need sleep or need to be plugged in... 

As to the level 1 feats:
I like this option.  Outside of the bruiser & flyer types, the feat would make sense, as most of the "normal" reploids of the Megaman X series are generally human in shape, although a couple of reploid feats that, say, add a pair of limbs (Lauch Octopus), or allow true Amphibious behavior. 

The other thought that I have is that most reploids don't necessarily need to breathe.  X walks through water for whole stages, which can be represented with a campaign quality or feat, but either way it shouldn't be level 1 only. 

I'm picturing the following reploids as "large" or larger:\
Spark Mandrill (large),
Sigma (First form MMX1)
Blizzard Buffalo
Bolt Catfish
Tunnel Rhino
Frost Walrus
Duff McWhalen
Grizzly Slash
Avalanche Yeti,
Bamboo Pandamonium
Gigavolt Man'o'War

That's just looking at the Wikipedia list...  I have the collection of MMX 1-8.  I'll go double check what I've said, although the MMX 1-3 characters I'll stand behind because I know those by heart.

You can check out the Many-Armed and Might Serpents feats in Origin of the Species for examples of feats that allow some serious changes to body type and nature. That and I can't remember which book it is going to be in, but there is a Corn-Fed talent that will make characters Large sized. Along with your own Talents that you can draft.

Having only played a handful of the Megaman games when I was a kid, I'm no expert, but I like the idea of shaping them through feats rather than Talents. Allows a far greater range of customization and switching certain options back and forth making them more modular.

Also, Darkmeer, I don't know why you wouldn't like this option for flyers. I seem to remember you giggling like a schoolgirl when you saw the Falcon Nation feat...

[Aryxbez]

Here is some part of the feats that I have considering using. Do note, these feats are not exactly Spycraft quality most likely.


ESP
Robots aren’t the only ones that change with time.  Some humans minds have evolved gaining ESP, or extra sensory perception abilities.  These human can move and react far faster than they would normally ever be able to do.  How are they able to do this; they are able to perceive actions a second before it happens.
Prerequisite: Wisdom 15+, Human only.
Benefit:  You are able to move and react far faster than most normal humans are.    This provides humans with a +2 insight bonus to their Defense.  Additionally humans get a +2 to Sense Motive checks, +1 to their Reflex saves And +1 to Initiative.



Increased Speed
You are able to move about much faster than normal.  This is due to extra physical training, tweaked cybernetics, or unique mechanical enhancements.
Benefit: This feat can be selected by any race.  This feat provides a +5 to the characters Speed.
Special: This feat can be selected multiple times for stacked effects.  Also for every +10 to Speed the character has above their base of 30 they gain a +1 dodge bonus to their Defense.

Limited Flight
Due to your unusual form you now have flight capabilities, although limited.
Prerequisites: Unique Look, wings selection.
Benefits: You are able to Fly for a limited amount of time.  You are able to maintain flight capabilities for a number of rounds equal to your character level.  Your flight speed is equal to your actual movement speed.  Being hit while flying will cause the person to fall, a reflex save (DC 20) can be made to keep from falling by reactivating the flight as long as the time limit has not expired.  After an equal number of rounds goes by you can reactivate the flight capabilities at its full potential.

[Aryxbez]

2nd part of the feats, also there will be a 3rd post, just for the last feat, so sorry if this was a waste of space.

Hyper Modes
   With this ability a reploid can select hyper mode transformations.
Prerequisite: Charisma 13+, Reploid only,
Benefit: This feat allows a reploid to alter their normal combat capabilities in different ways, allowing the reploid to do more than they could before.A reploid can only have
1 + their Charisma modifier in hyper modes(minimum 1).  When in a combat situation the Reploid must assume 1 form, their normal form or one of their hyper forms.  Additionally A hyper mode is retained as long as desired, however you can choose to get rid of a hyper mode in favor of a new mode when leveling up. Also may choose another Hyper mode whenever you level up, assuming you qualify for any prerequisites. Additionally when using the hyper mode form the characters look (armor color, shape/style) all change.  Below are the different options you can choose from.  Additionally some options are advanced versions, thus are the same hyper form, but overlap the old effects. So Improved Targeting would replace Enhanced targeting.  When you First take this feat,may select 2 Hyper modes, but nothing over Enhanced, these can not change once selected, and bonuses from the same type do not stack. So Enhanced Targeting does not stack with Improved, Improved merely overlaps enhanced.

(click to show/hide)

Enhanced Targeting:You gain a +1 to hit on ranged attacks.  This is the basic targeting level.      

Improved Targeting:You gain a +2 to hit on ranged attacks.  This can not be selected until level 5.

Limited Flight:You are able to Fly for a limited amount of time.  You are able to maintain flight capabilities for a number of rounds equal to your character level.  This can only be selected at level 6.  Your flight speed is equal to your actual movement speed.  Being hit while flying will cause the person to fall, a reflex save (DC 20) can be made to keep from falling by reactivating the flight as long as the time limit has not expired.  After an equal number of rounds goes by you can reactivate the flight capabilities at its full potential.      
Flight   You can fly for great lengths of time. You can maintain your flight capabilities for 1 hour of prolonged use.  After this allotted time has been used up you must rest for 1 hour before you can fly again.  Being hit while flying will not cause you to be knocked from the air.  Flight speed is equal to the characters speed +20ft.  can not be selected until level 12.      

Enhanced Jumps:You gain a +2 to your Jump checks.  This is the basic level.      

Improved Jumps:You gain a +4 to your Jump checks.  This can not be selected until level 4.

Greater DR:You gain a +3 to DR.  On the down side if you select any of the Speed boosts you can only select Enhanced Speed.  This can not be selected until level 12.      

Advanced DR:You gain a +4 to DR.  On the down side you can not select any Speed boosts from those above.  This can not be selected until level 18.      

Enhanced Strength:You gain a +1 to Strength.  This is the basic level.      

Improved Strength:You gain a +2 to Strength.  On the down side if you select any of the Speed boosts you can only selected either Improved Targeting, or Enhanced Targeting.  This can not be selected until level 5.      

Greater Strength:You gain a +3 to Strength.  On the down side if you select any of the Speed boosts you can only select Enhanced Targeting.  This can not be selected until level 10.      

Advanced Strength:You gain a +4 to Strength.  On the down side you can not select any Targeting boosts from those above.  This can not be selected until level 15.      

Scanning:You are capable of scanning objects with in 10ft of you.  The type of scan is a Pin Point scan.  Which means that you can scan a 3ft area up to 10ft away from you.  The scanning type is a multi-function scanner, capable of scanning for anything, but its range is limited unlike most other scanners.      

Double Attack:You are capable of firing off 2 attacks at once.  As a full round action you can forgo your normal number of attacks and make 1 attack at your highest base attack bonus.  You fire off 2 attacks, one for each arm, at 1 target.  If you charge the attack first you can get more damage.  Both attacks are fired as 1.  This attack may only be used once per minute due to its energy use constraints.      

Double Jump:You are able to make 2 jump checks when you are normally only allowed 1.  You jump once then with the second jump check made, are able to literally jump in the air again.  This is done by boot thrusters.      

Stealth Camouflage:When this is activated it is able to render a target invisible.  Only things with Infrared imaging capabilities are able to track and follow an invisible target.  Additionally scanners must beat a DC of 30 to detect you and laser sensors can not detect your movements.  On the down side you can not attack while invisible.  Attacking will render the person visible again.  Additionally a Spot check (DC 30) will allow a person to pick out the distorted space where the person is.  Blind fighting can negate this ability in combat.  Activating it is a full round action.      

Wall Stick:You can cling to surfaces with out sliding off.  You can only cling to vertical surfaces like walls only however.  You can take 20 on your climb checks even when normally not allowed due to time constraints or situations such as combat.      

Shotgun Blast: Your weapon is reconfigured to fire a spread of shots with one attack.  The spread effects any targets with in a 10ft wide cone of fire. Damage of the weapon is reduced by 1d however for every 5ft beyond the initial 5ft in front of the character.  A reflex save (DC equal to the characters roll to hit), can be made for half damage.  No actual roll to hit is needed to hit opponents with in this field of fire, it is only needed to determine the opponents Reflex save.  Additionally the weapons normal range is cut in half.      

Giga Strike (Long Range):This is a powerful attack that can only be used a curtain number of times a day.  This attack can only be used 1/per day plus the characters Wisdom modifier.  This attack is an automatic critical hit if the characters normal attack hits.  Additionally the multiplier increases by 1, so if it does x2 damage, then it will do a x3.  Attacks with this count as full round actions.  This enhancement is for ranged attacks or turns melee attacks into ranged ones.  Can only be selected at level 10, but can not be selected with any other Giga Strikes.      

Giga Strike (Short Range):This is the same as the long range version only this one deals specifically with opponents with in 5ft of the character.  Combined with the Whirlwind Attack feat this can be a devastating ability.This counts as a full attack action when used, but may be used as part of a Whirlwind attack, or other similar attacks. This enhancement can only be selected at level 10, but can not be selected with any other Giga Strikes, this pertains to melee attacks & can turn a ranged attack into a melee attack.      

Giga Strike (Area Range):Again just like the long ranged version only this effects an area around the character.  The area effected is equal to the characters level +10ft.  This enhancement can only be selected at level 10, but can not be selected with any other Giga Strikes.  Charged shots are not possible.      

Dash:Once per round you are able to move 10ft as a free action.      

Double Dash:Twice per round you are able to move 10ft as a free action.  This can be used simultaneously if desired.  This enhancement can only be selected at level

Unique Look
Your body has been retrofitted for a unique look.  This doesn’t mean much, but allows for some drastic changes to your body.
Prerequisite: You must be a  Reploid.
Benefit: This feat allows you to customize your characters looks beyond the normal.  Normally Reploids and Androids look very human like.  Others have their features customized for various reasons. In the Megaman X Era things are more drastic.  Villains like Frost Walrus have increased size but also a very unique animal look.  Blaze Heatnix looks like a phoenix, and has wings allowing for flight.  Magma Dragoon looks like a dragon to a degree, and so on.  Different looks often offer different abilities or allow for other things to be selected.  Below is a list of those things. For the Megaman X Era you select 1 of the effects below

(click to show/hide)

      
Wings:You get a +2 to your DR rating.  You may also select the Limited Flight feat when you are able to.  (It is not a free selection. And no you don’t have to look like a bird.)
   
Animalistic (Wilderness):You have physical similarities to an animal found in the wilderness including forests, jungles, mountains and plains.  Such include a bear, elk, deer, horses, cougars, lions, various rodents and weasels like badgers and skunks.  You gain a +2 to your Intimidation skill checks as well as having any of the same natural weapons that the animal has at your disposal as well.  (Claws, horns, and bit attacks; see the weapons and equipment section for details on all of these.)      

Animalistic (Reptile):You have physical similarities to that of a reptilian creature.  Such include various snakes, and various lizards.  You gain a +2 to any Escape Artist checks that are made.  Also you can gain a few of the various natural abilities of the reptile.  Snakes get bite attacks (no venom…sorry), some types of lizards have claws for climbing (+2 to climb checks), others can stick to things like a spider or some frogs (+2 to climb checks as well).  Some snakes can coil themselves around a person and start to constrict, like a python (when the reploid decides to grapple they may add their Dexterity Modifier to their grapple checks and can choose to try and coil around their opponent.  If they do they may deal crushing damage to the target which would be 1d4 + the characters Strength modifier per round that the coil is maintained.  An escape Artist check or Strength check to break free is still possible however.)      

Animalistic (Aquatic):You have physical similarities to that of an aquatic creature.  Such can include sharks, whales, squid, crabs, clams, and so on.  You also gain the feature of these creatures as well. Sharks have highly damaging bit attacks (2d10 +Str Mod), and get a +4 bonus on swim checks. Whales have size and power (See increased size for this below), and get a +4 on their swim checks as well.  Squids and other like multi armed see creatures get multiple attacks, (the character may make 1 attack with each arm, all attacks made are at the characters base attack bonus but are at a -4 to hit for each attack.)  Crabs have powerful claws that they can attack with, which are often larger than normal (does 2d8 points of damage, +2 to grapple checks).  Clams have shells that provide a great deal of protection (+4 to DR), but are fairly slow moving (-5 from Speed.  Additionally all of these things are suited for moving in the water and can remain afloat in the water.  They suffer no swim check penalties due to their mass and/or size.      

Animalistic (Avian):You have physical similarities to that of a bird.  This kind of all goes with out saying, but such examples include eagles, robins, hawks, vultures and so on.  Those with Talons can make claw attacks.  Additionally the character can select the Limited Flight ability, but not for free mind you.  Additionally any bird form taken provides a +4 to Spot checks.      

Animalistic (Dinosaur):You have physical similarities to that of a dinosaur.  There are many different types and I’m not even going to list them.  These are really no different form those Wilderness.  However the bite attacks of those that are modeled after a T-Rex and other big meat-eaters do 4d10 points of damage.      

Animalistic (Insect):You have physical similarities to that of an insect.  Again I’m not going to list all of the different types (arachnids are included in this even though they are not insects).  All insects can cling to surfaces as if they had the Wall Stick ability below.   
Wall Stick:You can cling to surfaces with out sliding off.  You can only cling to vertical surfaces like walls only however.  You can take 20 on your climb checks even when normally not allowed.      

Increased Size:The size of your body is that of Large rather than Medium.  You gain a +2 to Strength but suffer a -1 to Defense due to your size.  This can be selected twice to be Huge sized, in which case the character gets a +4 to Strength and a -2 to their Defense.      

Decreased Size:The size of your body is a Small rather than Medium.  You gain a -2 to your Strength but gain a +1 to Defense due to your size.  This can be selected twice to be  Tiny sized, in which case the character gets a -4 to Strength and a +2 to their Defense.  On the down side in either case speed drops to a base of 20.      

Over Sized Weapon:You are capable of using over size weapons one handed, that is weapons are now one grade easier to wield, 2-handed weapons become one-handed, one-handed items become light.      

Dense Armor:Your armor is bulkier and denser than usual allowing you to take more of a beating than normal.  You gain a +4 to your DR but your Speed is reduced by 10, and your Dexterity is reduced by 2.

[Aryxbez]

Here is a 1st level feat if it helps

Special Weapon Systems
You are equipped with a unique type of internal weapon system besides the normal energy weapons.  These weapons are often odd and some may not seem to do damage but they are not normal.
Prerequisite: Reploids only.  Must be selected at level 1.
Benefits: You are able to use specific special weapon systems.    There are 3 different ways in which the weapons can be used, Ranged, Melee, and Area. You must then out of the 3 select 2 of those options..  For example if you choose the Fire System you must then select 2 of those options(From Ranged, Melee, and Area).
The first type is called your Primary which goes with your normal attacks,The second type is a special action that counts as a full round action Provoking Attacks of Opportunity unless say otherwise. As said Fire example, choosing Melee and choosing a primary would make your Melee attacks function with the effect. These Melee attacks apply to weapons,unarmed,and even natural weapons. Below is the list of different Systems to choose from.  Each states info if either used as a Primary attack or Secondary, as well as other information for being used as a melee, ranged or area attack.  Note though that some System types listed are purely a physical enhancement, however there are combat stats for specific moves that can be done with those enhancements. Special Weapon systems do not multiply on a critical hit.  Additionally Individuals of the same Element weapon system are unaffected by any attacks from that element.  Thus 2 fire systems fighting each other would do no damage with their special attacks.

(click to show/hide)

   
   
Fire:Substances and objects are capable of catching fire with this attack.  Those with Ice Systems are weak against those with Fire Systems, and take an additional 1d6
points of fire damage. 
Primary Attack: Damage:2d6 fire/heat damage.
Secondary Attack: Damage:1/2 HD/class levels.  There is a reflex save for half damage.  (DC 10 +1/2character level,+Con or cha mod)

Melee: Critical hits on a 20/x2 damage.
Ranged: Attacks have a 100ft range.
Area: Attacks effect a 40ft cone area emanating out from the character.
There is a reflex save for half damage.  (DC 10 +1/2character level,+Con or cha mod)
      

Ice:Ice attacks freeze anything that they come in contact with doing Ice damage.  Those with Water Systems are weak against Ice Systems, and take an additional 1d6 points of Cold damage. Otherwise same as Fire
Primary Attack: Damage: 1/2 HD/class levels bludgeoning Cold damage.
Secondary Attack: Damage: bludgeoning Ice/Cold damage.  (Secondary attacks have a chance of freezing the target if they are with in 10ft of the attack.  A reflex save (DC 10 +1/2character level,+Con or cha mod), if failed the target is frozen for 1d4 rounds or until the ice is shattered, they can try to break free with a Strength check (DC 20)

Melee: Critical hits on a 19-20/x2 damage.
Ranged: 50ft
Area: This attack effects a 20ft area emanating out from the character.
   
Water:Water attacks are a bit more unorthodox in terms of special weapons.  Water is strong against fire systems doing an additional 1d4 points of damage, fires are extinguished and need 1 round to recharge.  Additionally Water is strong against Electric Systems, those hit short circuit taking 1d4 points of additional damage and must take 1 round to recharge them selves.  All though not overly powerful on its own, when combined with some one of an Ice system the Ice will freeze water on contact, thus creating traps becomes simple (DC to escape being frozen increases by 5, and rounds effected increases by 1d6).  On the down side the character has only so much water available to use, or that they can hold.  Unlike most other weapon systems the character must recharge themselves after a while.  The character’s body is redesigned to hold water and can hold 3d6+4 ounces The character (if an available source of water is near) recharges their water supply at a rate of 2d4 per round as either a standard action or move equivalent action.
Primary Attack: Damage: 2d4
Secondary Attack: Damage: 4d4

Melee: There is no Water Melee combat.
Ranged: 15ft, water is converted into an acidic like liquid.  A constant stream can eventually reduce a robot to a pile of nothing.
Area:Can effect a 30ft area.      

Electric:Electric attacks are quit helpful.  Those that have the electric system can power a small town if actually hooked up as a generator.  Thusly they can power electrical items from a distance as well, amongst anything else they can do.  Electric attacks are strong against Holograms, and Blades which take an additional 1d6 points of electrical damage.  Water is a natural conductor for electricity and if the two work together a water attack can become far more deadly than usual. Effects Similar to Ice,and Fire.

Primary Attack: Damage: 3d6
Secondary Attack:Damage:1/2 HD/class levels, A saving throw for half damage is allowed (DC 10 )

Melee: Critical hits on a 20/x2 damage.
Ranged: 150ft
Area: Can effect a 30ft area. A reflex save for half damage is also made with this attack. (DC 10 plus the characters level.)      

Magnetic:This isn’t so much an attack as it is an ability.  Magnetic provides the following abilities: +2 deflection bonus to Defense, Jumping distance is doubled automatically.  Additionally you have the ability to increase the gravity with in a given area.  Speed is cut in half, as well as jumping distances.  Anyone affected by this is at an additional -2 to hit.  The ability can be activated only a number of times per day equal to half their level.  Additionally the character can choose to reverse these effects, however Speed is still cut in half, and the still suffer a -2 to hit and there is also a 50% chance that just walking can cause the character to go flying out of control, make a Reflex Save (DC 10+Int mod), if they fail have them make a jump check and multiply the distance by 3, if they make it then they are able to move normally for that round).  The character using this power, along with any others who have the same power, are unaffected by this.  The effects of increased gravity and decreased gravity last only 1d4+1 rounds during which the character can switch back and forth between the two as they see fit as a swift action.  Not though that targets effected by this can take fall damage from their jump check.      

Light:This is both an attack, and ability depending on how it’s used.  Light attacks are strong against Darkness, which takes an additional 1d8 points of damage.  Ice however is resistant to light attacks and damage is reduced by 1d8 from all attacks against Ice.  Additionally you can generate light to see by with ease.  This light can brighten up a 40ft area if desired or can be controlled to be like a flash light projecting a beam of light up to 20ft away.
Flash: A non lethal attack meant to temporarily blind an opponent.  Anyone with in a 30ft are of the character when this goes off must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 plus the characters level.)  If the save is failed the target is blinded for 1d6 rounds.  If the save is made then the target is only blinded for half the length of time.  An already blinded opponent can not be blinded again until they recover.  The flash takes the place of the secondary use of this weapon system.  The flash can only be used a number of times a day equal to ½ the characters level.
Primary Attack: Damage: 3d8  Attack is a laser beam.
Secondary Attack: Damage: 6d8, A saving throw for half damage is allowed (DC 10 plus the characters level.)  Attack is a laser beam, much larger than the other one.  Ignores DR of armor.

Melee: Critical on a 19-20/x2.  Options for this can include a laser sword, laser claws and so on.
Range: 400ft
Area: This attack fires a very large laser beam that has a range of 200ft and effects anything in 15ft wide path.       

Darkness:Again this is not really an attack as much it is an ability.  It does have one type of attack, but no secondary attack.  You can chose 2 of the different uses below to use.  Darkness attacks are strong against Light systems.  Attacks (if any are chosen) do an extra 1d8 points of damage.  Additionally you can move about in complete darkness with out problems and suffer no penalties when performing actions at night in the dark.

Stealth Camouflage:  When this is activated it is able to render a target invisible.  Only things with Infrared imaging capabilities are able to track and follow an invisible target.  Additionally scanners must beat a DC of 20 to detect you and laser sensors can not detect your movements.  On the down side you can not attack while invisible.  Attacking will render the person visible again.  Additionally a Spot check DC 20 as well will allow a person to pick out the distorted space where the person is.  Blind fighting can negate this ability in combat.  Activating it is a full round action.  Additionally anyone using the Light ability: Flash will force the character out of their camouflage.

Black Light Laser:  An extremely dangerous & powerful type of laser.  Damage: 4d10, Range: 300ft.  Use of this is a standard action.

Shroud:  You can blanket an area in complete blackness.  Only infrared imaging capabilities can allow someone or thing to move about with out trouble in this.  No light can exist in this field.  If the Flash ability from Light is used with this the two cancel each other out.  Anyone with in a 40ft area of the character is automatically engulfed in complete darkness and is effectively blinded.  The character with this ability however can see and move about just fine when using their own power, or when effected by some one with the exact same ability.      
Hologram:This system s fairly unique compared to the others.  Those with this system can generate 3 different types of holograms.  Additionally they can make a Spot check or Use Scanners, (DC’s 15 & 10 respectively), to determine if something is a hologram or is real, like a fake wall.
Disguise:You are able to hide your appearance via an intricate Hologram disguise.  The disguise can be anything you can think of.  Although this may hide your outward appearance this will not hide your voice.  This allows you to take 20 in your disguise check in regards to your appearance.  Even if some one is able to make their spot check they will only think your suspicious but not the guy their after.  Only a Use Scanner check or another person with this ability can determine your true identity.  (A Use Scanner check must beat a DC of 25 to know that the person has a hologram disguise, beyond that they must beat the persons Disguise check total as if they had rolled a 20 to determine their actual identity.  If they do beat it then they notice either that something is familiar about you or have actually been able to get a detailed enough scan to determine your true identity.)  Activating this is a full round action.  A disguise can be held for a number of hours equal to ½ your character level.  Beyond that the disguise can be activated any number of times but you must wait 30 minutes between changes to allow the emitters to cool.  Switching disguises during the time limit cuts the time left in half with each change as it is an added stress on the characters systems.  This can only be used on yourself and any equipment you are carrying.

Shadow Image:  This is a projection of your self.  This image is a hologram of course but not solid.  You are able to mentally control the hologram from a distance (up to 300ft away), and can even see through its “eye” while its about.  A handy thing to have for dangerous situations.  Any attack against the image will automatically reveal it is a hologram, and will destroy the projection.  Sound also can not be projected with the image.  Beyond that it looks exactly like the character.  A Shadow Image can only be maintained for a number of rounds equal to the characters Wisdom Modifier +2.  You can create up to 3 Shadow Images at once.  This can be used a number of times per day equal to the characters level.  You can perform other actions while these are active, but they perform the same actions as you unless all of your concentration goes to controlling them.  The Images can not act individually; they all do the same thing, but can go in opposite directions and such.

Hard Light Image: This ability is similar to the Shadow Image but has a few differences.  First you can only create 1 image.  This image is made of hard light and is capable of actually attacking.  It has the same number of wound points as the character, but can only attack unarmed, it can emulate ranged attacks, but damage is only equal to the characters unarmed damage (no strength bonus to damage of course unless actually attacking unarmed.)  The range of its ranged attacks is also half of what the actual characters attacks are.  The image has no vitality points.  It can only remain active for a number of rounds equal to ½ the characters level in rounds.  Additionally it can only be used a number of times a day equal to 1/4th the characters level.  The image can manipulate objects and such and does make noises, thus it can be made to talk, although its voice is the characters it sound is hollow and distant.  The character must speak for the hologram, it intern relays what’s been spoken.  Beyond all these things the Hard Light Image uses the same rules as the Shadow Image.      

Blade:The character has at least 1 type of special bladed weapon, either melee, or ranged.  This weapons damage is based upon 1 chosen weapon in the equipment section.  (And just so you know there is no area effect for this system.)
Primary Attacks: Has a Critical of 19-20/x2, and does 1 extra die in damage.
Secondary Attacks: The weapon’s range extends out.  Melee weapons can hit opponents up to 10ft away, and ranged weapons have their range of attack doubled.  Additionally damage increases by another extra die for either one.  This attack can only be used a number of times a day equal to the characters level.      

Strength(NEED TO BALANCE)
This system deals with boosting the characters strength.  When activated as a Immediate action, the character gets a +5 to their strength, but their Speed is reduced by 5 points.  After this the character can convert their Speed to Strength.  Its one for one.  Thus if you drop the characters Speed by 10 points from 25 then their new Speed is 15, but they now have a +10 to strength.  A characters speed can be reduced to zero if desired, but they can not move from where they are standing.  This boost to strength can only be done when lifting heavy objects, or when fighting.  A character can only boost their strength like this a number of times a day equal to ½ their character level.      

Bombs:You are capable of generating an explosive device in some way.  The most reasonable explanation is that you can create an energy ball encased in some sort of light containment shell that keeps the energy contained until it hits its target.  (Bomb-man’s time bombs and normal bombs are examples of this.  He is able to generate these and encase them in a balloon like thing meant to look like a classic bomb, which he lobs at opponents having them detonate on impact.  Grenade-man is another example as well.)  All of these attacks are area attacks.  You do however have a couple of different options open as to what you can do for the Secondary attack. Which are listed below it.
Primary Attack: Damage: 4d6, Range: Thrown/or 60ft, Blast Area: 10ft.  These can only be used a number of times a day equal to the characters level x2.  (Thus if level 7 you can create and use 14 bombs.)
Secondary Attack: Damage: 8d6, Range: Thrown/ or 100ft, Blast Area: 20ft.  There is a reflex save for half damage.  (DC 10 plus the characters level.)  These can only be used a number of times a day equal to 1/4th the characters level per day.

Homing:  The attack is at a +2 to hit, however it can not be thrown, only fired.

Bouncing:  This attack does not explode on impact initially, instead it bounces once when it hits, it then travels at least 1/4th the distance its' already traveled where it explodes on impact with a target.  (If you threw the object 30ft then it will bounce an additional 7 ½ feet toward its destination.  Thus a missed attack has a chance of still hitting the target (25% chance), or if the attack falls just short of actually hitting the bounce in additional feet can still cover the ground.

Time Bomb:  Rather than having something to explode on impact you have one that will go off after a specific amount of time passes.  You can set a time bomb to go off in 1-10 rounds.  (Note though that you can not make a Disable Device check to try and disable these bombs, they are not normal bombs to begin with.)
      
Speed:This ability deals purely with speed.  When initially taken the character gains a +10 to their Speed.  They also gain a +2 dodge bonus to their Defense.  After this the character can choose to boost their speed even more but they gain a -2 to hit every time they wish to increase it by 5 points or more.  Additionally every 10 points of speed gotten provides a +1 dodge bonus to the characters Defense.  This effects all of the characters attacks thus if you wanted to boost your speed by 20 you would get a -8 to hit on all of your attacks.  Intern you would get a +2 dodge bonus to your Defense.  Also with attacks that have multifire options can now do an autofire if desired.  This goes for thrown weapons as well, single actions and such that would only allow for 1 shot or attack per action can make use of the multifire action.  So lets say you have a Single shot buster cannon, that is you can only make 1 shot per action.  Well with this you can now choose to do a multifire action instead.  These however can only be done with ranged weapons only.  You may only boost your Speed a number of times a day equal to ½ their character level.   

Special: You must select this feat at level 1 and it can only be selected once.  If a higher level and you wish to have this feat you can not select it as you no longer meet the requirements.
Time: Primary attacks count as normal attack actions.  On the other hand secondary attacks count as full round actions.  Special abilities offered like Stealth Camouflage count as full round actions to activate them.

Just a note: no such things as Attacks of Opportunity.

Okay, taking what Foghorn has said:

Racial Talent: Reploid (first generation MMX 1-4)
+2 to one attribute  (3)
Near-Human Semi-Construct.  (0)
Reploid base speed is 40' (1.5)
+2 Defense (2)
DR 2/- This bonus stacks and is considered to come from natural armor (1)
The bleeding condition does not affect you (1)
Achilles Heel (Sigma Virus) The sigma Virus does double damage to reploids.  (-.5)
-1 Starting Action Dice (-1)

There, fits with the standard non-X or Zero first generation reploids. 

Racial Feats, all of these require a character to be a reploid.  These are a wee bit strange, but they all kind of fit the idea of the setting.  One note is that the Big Boy, Giant, & Hulk feats all are geared towards non player characters, although the option should be there for the people who want to play the big, cumbersome characters.  Another thought is that you could use your "Unique look" feat as the gateway into most of these feats. 

Flyer
You gain the winged flight NPC quality with a speed of 50' along with a +2 bonus to Dexterity. 

Big Boy
Requires:  Career Level 6+
You gain the Large (1) with a reach of 2 NPC quality, along with a +2 bonus to strength. 

Giant
Requires: Career Level 9+, Big Boy feat
You gain the Large (2x2) NPC quality with a reach of 2, along with a +2 bonus to Constitution and a -2 to Dexterity. 

Hulk
Requires:  Career Level 15, Giant, Big Boy
You gain the Huge NPC quality with a Melee Reach of 3.  You also recieve an additional +2 to strength, and a -10 foot penalty to your base land speed. 

Swimmer
You gain the aquatic NPC quality, and gain a swim speed of 20 feet. 

Flame Dancer
You Gain DR 10 versus fire and heat based attacks, and gain the Achilles Heel (Electricity) Quality

Ice Warrior
You gain DR 10 versus Cold attacks, and gain the Achilles Heel (fire) Quality

Lightning Charger
You gain DR 10 versus Electrical attacks, and gain the achilles heel (Ice) quality. 

Burrower
You gain a burrow speed of 20 feet, and a +2 bonus to Strength.  You also gain the Achilles Heel () quality. 



Now the Sigma Virus:

Sigma Virus:
This is the worst virus there is.  To Reploids, it alters dispositions towards old allies, and makes them essentially slaves to the master virus.  The master virus hates humans, and even affects humans given the opportunity for infection.  Thankfully, the Master Virus affects merely one reploid at a given time, while it's lesser versions infect "weak willed" reploids and humans to aid in destroying all humans.

When a being is affected by the sigma virus, via datajack (for humans), or central processor (for reploids), he takes 1d4 points of stress damage that does not heal every scene.  Any additional stress damage taken by a being affected by the being causes the virus to activate again, causing an additional 1d4 points of stress damage. 

At the end of the mission, the reploid makes a will save versus the amount of stress damage taken because of the virus.  IF the reploid fails, then it goes maverick, and the stress damage is removed.  If the reploid succeeds, the stress damage is removed down to 4 points. 

A human restores any lost stress damage at the end of the mission.  A human also makes a will save at the end of the mission if infected.  If a human fails its will save, the human lies in a catatonic state for 1d4 months, and then awakens as a "maverick."  If a human succeeds the will save, then they are cured of the infection. 


Special notes:  I know the Sigma Virus only affected reploids in the games, but the flavor of it affecting human hackers & such makes sense to me.  In this way, the main characters of your campaign are affected by the virus in different, yet disturbing ways.  There is a way to curb the "maverick" virus, perhaps by taking certain "prescriptions" for non-maverick characters, they are able to stem the tide.  This allows for Mega Man X 6 to come along, and then remove the threat of the virus completely (and curing it as well).   

Okay, I know it's going to happen, so anyone who wants to: Enjoy ripping this stuff to shreds

Not quite what I was talking about Darkmeer, but I see where you're going with this. See, I was thinking more along the lines of a feat that went like

Reploid [Species feat]
You like to wear blue helmets and shoot things.
Prerequisite: Level 1 only.
Benefit: Your nature changes to whatever-human. You gain the reploid NPC quality. If the reploid quality ends up being too nice, then add a small penalty here. Your (pick appropriate attribute) decreases by 2.
Special: If you choose this feat, you may permanently decrease any one of your attributes by 2 to also gain any 1 Species feat with the prerequisite 'Career Level 1 only'. You must still meet any other prerequisites of the feat to select it.

After that you'd write up something along the lines of
Reploid (+X XP): Small amount of fluff. You have a weapon in your hand that you shoot things with. You do not age, eat, breathe, etc. Basically, all the base qualities that are found in every reploid.

Then you could make the feats that upgrade the body in whatever way Gear feats, the Hyper Mode feat a Basic Combat feat, etc. If you allow the Reploid race to be entered into as a Level 1 only feat, then you can also have Large Gorgon Reploids with 6 arms and whatever other crazy thing you can imagine.

[Pneumonica]

Hulk
Requires:  Career Level 15, Giant, Big Boy
You gain the Huge NPC quality with a Melee Reach of 3.  You also recieve an additional +2 to strength, and a -10 foot penalty to your base land speed. 

I may be arguing reality to a video game, but this really doesn't make sense to me.  Wouldn't being larger increase land speed?  I certainly wouldn't see it being reduced.  I mean, if you're walking and you're big you've got a stride to end all strides.  If you're driving and your big your wheel radius is going to make what was once a slight movement a serious one.  I mean, little creatures aren't faster than us, otherwise ant swarms would move faster than formula racers.
