E.T.A. [Enhanced Tactical Armature]
Just prior to the collapse, there were rumours in the highest circles that a new weapon was coming online that could turn the tide in the war against the Mecha. These rumours told of giants of metal, laser rifles powerful enough to take out a heavy combot reliably in one hit, and a hidden factory in which they were produced.
To the military scientist Jacob Wiggin and his team, they were the Enhanced Tactical Armatures, E.T.A. for short. Powered by micro-fusion generators, they were four times the height of a man, with 10 times the strength and 5 times the speed of the best transhuman and weapons scaled up to match, the ETAs fully outclassed the current top end shell armors.
Sadly, the encroaching Mecha army forced the scientists to flee in their operable creations before their weapons were finished and destroy the rest.
After going into hiding, the scientists developed designs for more primitive weapons that could be manufactured with their limited resources; compound bows 3 times a man’s height, tensioned with 1000lb test cable that no man could hope to draw, handheld repeating ballistas, and the like.
Alas despite their genius, they could not live forever, nor did they have the martial skill to properly use their creations in combat, thus they froze themselves in cryo tubes they had brought along and waited for the storm to pass…
Stats:
END: 150 + 4d100
STR: 100+4d100
AGI: 100 + 2d100
ACC: pilot + 4d10
INT: as pilot
WIP: as pilot
PER: pilot +5d10(full optics suite)
App: n/a
DV: -70
Mov: 30m
Notes:
-Pilots can be wounded by called shot or heavy weapons fire on the torso of the ETA
-ETAs have enough stability and possess mounting brackets to have one shoulder attached, crewed(1 gunner) heavy weapon, if the weapon has computer targeting abilities, it can be linked into the eye tracking function of the ETA for aiming and firing.
-ETAs have a 45/45/10 chance of being found with a repeating ballista, up-scaled compound bow, or Heavy Laser Rifle modified to be used as an ETA-held rifle, respectively.
-Power plant requires 5L of water per day of continual use and have a fuel tank that can hold up to 50L of water
-Compound Bow: sv+7 rate 1 dmg 3d20+15 rng 250m str 100 ammo: rebar shafted 3m long arrows, wgt 150kg, val na
-Repeating Ballista (same as ballista seige weapon)
