Enforcer Base Class

Civilization is the act of imposing order on the chaos of the wilderness. Enforcers act as the strong arm of order, the warriors who defend civilization. Of course, definitions of civilization vary. Enforcers stand atop the walls of forts, holding the line against mutant barbarians besieging the outpost. However, enforcers are also found amid the barbarians below - the mutant chieftain and his best warriors are enforcers, keeping order in the tribe. Enforcers are the thugs, the guards, the defenders, and the hunters of Ground Zero.

Enforcers At-a-Glance:

Hit Points: 4 hit points per class level (×2 for starting characters).
Combat Ability: Good Attack, poor Defense.
Saving Throws: Good Fortitude, poor Reflex and Will.
Skills: 2 skill points per class level (×2 for starting characters), poor skill selection.
Weapons and Armour: Simple Weapons plus five additional proficiencies.
Class Talents: Enforcer talents at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th levels.
Talent Trees: Melee Combat, Ranged Combat, Two-Weapon Combat, Weapon Focus.
Special Abilities: Weapon Familiarity (at 1st), Increased Damage Threshold (at 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th), Attribute Increase (at 5th and 10th).

Class Features:

Hit Points: Enforcers gain 4 hit points per class level. Starting enforcers gain double hit points (8 hp), plus the standard base for their genotype and Constitution.

Combat Ability: Enforcers have a good attack progression but a poor defense progression (they're more interested in dishing out damage than avoiding it).

Saving Throws: Enforcers have good Fortitude saves but poor Reflex and Will saves.

Skills: Skills are not an enforcer's forte. Who needs Craft (Basket Weaving) when you're packing a bigass plasma rifle? At each class level, enforcers gain only 2 + Int modifier skill points. A starting character gains double skill points (4 + 2 × Int modifier).

The enforcer's class skills are: Acrobatics, Athletics, Craft (Metalworking), Endurance, Handle Animal, Knowledge (Home Region, Tactics), Operate Vehicle, and Profession.

The character's background can provide additional class skills to choose from. Some skills (indicated by italics) may be unavailable or of limited use to characters from low-tech backgrounds.

Weapons and Armour: Enforcers are trained in the use of many types of combat gear and start with the following weapon and armour proficiencies:

Some proficiencies (indicated by italics) may be unavailable or of limited use to characters from low-tech backgrounds.

Talent Trees:

Enforcer Talents: At character creation and every subsequent even-numbered level (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) the enforcer selects a talent from the Melee Combat, Ranged Combat, Two-Weapon Combat, or Weapon Focus talent trees. The player may choose to substitute a general talent, if desired. The character's genotype can also provide additional talents to choose from.

Melee Combat Talent Tree: You are an exceptionally talented melee fighter:

Power Attack: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your attack rolls. You can’t add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Prerequisite: Str 13.)
Cleave: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop (typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this ability once per round. (Prerequisite: Str 13, Power Attack.)
Great Cleave: This talent works like Cleave, except that there is no limit to the number of times you can use it per round. (Prerequisite: Str 13, Power Attack, Cleave, Base Attack Bonus +4.)

Ranged Combat Talent Tree: You are talented in the use of ranged weapons:

Point-Blank Shot: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at short range.
Far Shot: When you use a projectile weapon, such as a bow, its range increment increases by one category. (Prerequisite: Point-Blank Shot.)
Precise Shot: You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on your attack roll. (Prerequisite: Point-Blank Shot.)
Rapid Shot: You can get one extra attack per round with a ranged weapon. The attack is at your highest base attack bonus, but each attack you make in that round (the extra one and the normal ones) takes a –2 penalty. You must use the full attack action to use this talent. (Prerequisites: Dex 13, Point-Blank Shot.)

Two-Weapon Fighting Talent Tree: You have a talent for fighting with two-weapons:

Two-Weapon Fighting: You can fight with a weapon in each hand. You can make one extra attack each round with the second weapon.
Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. (Prerequisite: Dex 15.)
Two-Weapon Defense: When wielding a double weapon or two weapons (not including natural weapons or unarmed strikes), you gain a +1 shield bonus to your Defense.
When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +2. (Prerequisite: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting.)
Improved Two-Weapon Fighting: In addition to the standard single extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a second attack with it, albeit at a -5 penalty. (Prerequisites: Dex 17, Two-Weapon Fighting.)

Weapon Focus Talent Tree: You are exceptionally deadly with your weapon of choice:

Weapon Focus: Choose one type of weapon (unarmed strike and natural weapons can also be chosen as weapons). You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon. (Prerequisite: Proficiency with selected weapon.)
Weapon Specialization: Choose one type of weapon for which you have already selected the Weapon Focus talent. You gain a +2 bonus on all damage rolls you make using the selected weapon. (Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, Weapon Focus, Base Attack Bonus +4.)
Weapon Mastery: You gain an additional +1 bonus on all attack and damage rolls you make using your selected weapon. These bonuses stack with the ones from Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization. (Prerequisites: Weapon Proficiency, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Base Attack Bonus +8.)

Special: Talents from this talent tree can be selected multiple times. The effects do not stack. Each additional time you take a talent, it applies to a new type of weapon.

Special Abilities:

Weapon Familiarity: When using a weapon in which they are not proficient, most characters suffer a -4 penalty on attack rolls. At 1st level, an enforcer gains basic training in all weapon types, and when using any non-proficient weapon he suffers only a -2 penalty on attack rolls.

Increased Damage Threshold: Enforcers are good at soaking up damage. At 3rd level, an enforcer's Massive Damage Threshold increases by +1. He gains an additional +1 to MaD at every subsequent odd-numbered level (to a total of +4 at 9th).

Attribute Increase: At 5th level and again at 10th level, the enforcer increases his Strength score by 1 point. These attribute increases stack with the benefits provided by the Increased Strength talent.

Enforcer Progression:

Enforcers gain 4 hit points and 2 skill points per class level (×2 for starting characters).
