Ë                    Dark Wolf Power Armor

    The Dark Wolf Power Armor was created to be a counterpart to
the Glitter Boy, sort of a Shock Trooper and Heavy Artillery
combination, after the no-dogde weakness of the GB was discovered
while fighting large amounts of Pre-Rifts tanks in a skirmish not
long before the Coming of the Rifts.  In that battle, 15 GB's
were demolished by about 50 tanks.  However, the design was never
implemented beofre the Rifts destroyed Earth.
     Because the designers of the GB also made the DW, the
internal systems are almost identical to the GB.
     Recently, the plans for the original DW mysteriously arrived
at the GB plant in Free Quebec.  The designers looked at it,
decided that it was supposed to be a stnad-alone unit, not part
of the team, and so reinforced it.

Weapon Systems-
1. Mini Boom Gun- This is a almost half-sized version of the Boom
Gun, mounted of the left forearm.  Its slugs are half sized, and
because of its size, there is no need for a stabilization system. 
However, the Gun can still only be fired once per attack. All
Sonic Boom ranges are half.
Primary Purpose-Assault
Secondary Purpose-Defense-Anti-Armor/AircraftDamage-4d6x5 MD. 
Rate of Fire:Equal to the number of Hand to Hand attack the pilot
has...NO BURST or SPRAY!!!
Range:1.5 miles.
Payload:100 rounds, in a drum not unlike the Glitter Boy's, but
half-sized.  Reloads are the same as the GB, excpet that the Gun
cannot be hand-fedİ-the drum MUST be replaced, like a SAMAS suit.

2.Plasma Ejector-a short-range secondary weapon to allow for
attack flexibility.
Damage-3d6x4 single shot. Bursts do 3d6x6.
Rate of Fire:Aimed, burst, or wild.
Payload:Effectively unlimited.
Note:MBG and PE may be fired as a paired attack, but is -2 to
strike unless pilot has paired weapons, and always costs 2
actions.  If this is done, pilot is off-balanceİ-no dodge is
allowed for the next action, and this cannot be done twice in a
row.

3. Mini-Missile Launcher-Mounted where Boom Gun would have been,
it uses a magazine-style drum to hold the missiles, which must be
replaced by someone with PS 20 or higher or another PA/RV.
Damage-missile dependent.
Range-around 1 mi.İ-again, missile dependent.
Rate of Fire-single, volleys of 2,4, or 6.
Payload-12 missiles, which may be mixed types, but are usually
Plasma or ArmorİPiercing.

4. Hand to HandİİCombat Bonuses:+1 on initiative, +1 to parry and
dodge, and +3 to roll with punch, fall, or impact.  See Power
ARmor Eilte for damage, however, the Dark Wolf has 2 foot long
retractable vibroİclaws which add 2d6 to the punch and tackle,
and gives the Dark Wolf a slash attack that does 3d6 damage.

5. Sensor SystemsİThe Dark Wolf has the same feature as the
Glitter Boy.
1. ThermoİImagerİallows sightİbyİheat in dark, shadows and
through smoke. Range:2000 ft.
2.Infrared and Ultraviolet OpticsİİUsed mostly to detect sensor
traps, and see in the dark, these project beams of light visible
to other similar detection systems.
Advanced Laser TargetingİİWeapons are +2 to strike unless fired
simutaneously, or if in burst of Plasma Ejector.
 
NOTE:The Dark Wolf suit has the same type of armor as the Glitter
Boy, but is painted black or midnight blue.  The paint makes the
Dark Wolf's opponents İ2 to strike druing the night until or
unless it has been hit 3 times, in which case the penalty is then
dismissed.




Dark Wolf Pilot OCC

	The Dark Wolf Pilot are a new breed of warrior, often using
stealth and secrecy as much as outİright blasting to solve
problems.  They believe that their Power Armor is the best, and
will go to almost any lengths to prove it, as mild as holding
contests to as strong as actively hunting down other power armor
pilots to duel, like the "Old West."  They have a special rivalry
with Glitter Boy pilots, becuase their respective suits are quite
similar.
