Secondary Weapon (Ranged)

This item grants an unmodifiable 6+U Field save against non-energy attacks from the fighter's vision arc. Against energy attacks (las, plasma, melta, heat, flamer, radiation, shock, power, or similar) this improves to an unmodifiable 3+U Field save.

Glimmerbeam: This item can also project a blinding beam of energy but doing so discharges its power, causing it to go out of ammo after each shot. However, successfully saving vs an energy attack with this shield automatically reloads the Glimmerbeam attack profile if it is out of ammo.

6+U vs non-energy attack (shown in profile). 3+U vs energy from w/i vision arc, reload Glimmerbeam on success.

Experience and Advancement

Frequency

Spyrers gain an Advancement for every 5 full points of XP they have earned. Thus a Spyrer gains a new Advancement at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 XP (and so on).

Determination

After XP has been calculated and awarded at the end of a battle, for each new Advancement earned by a Spyrer the controlling player rolls a D6 on the Spyrer Advancements Table, and then rolls again on the indicated secondary table to determine what Advancement is gained and amend the fighter's card to reflect the new Advancement. This process is repeated for each Spyrer on a gang's roster until all new earned Advancements have been resolved and recorded.

Unlockable Integrated Systems

The following integrated systems are unlockable as Advancements.

General

Enviro Support

This fighter's Toughness is increased by 2 for the purpose of resisting the effects of the +2 T vs Enervating, Gas, Radiation, Shock, and Toxin traits.

Jakara

Linear Accelerator
Once per battle, while moving voluntarily or involuntarily, this fighter's controlling player may move this fighter up to 6 additional inches in any direction, up or down levels, across gaps, over obstacles, and / or across Difficult Terrain without penalty or need for Initiative checks.
This additional movement must be taken in a straight line with no bends, cannot pass through impassable terrain, and must end with this fighter's base resting on flat terrain not overlapping anything else; this ability cannot be used if this is not possible.
If used successfully during involuntary movement such as from Knockback or falling, this fighter is not Pinned and does not take damage. If not used during a Charge or a Consolidation, the 1'' rule applies.
1/battle, when moving can skip over up to 6'' of gaps and / or passable terrain, no Initiative checks; no Pinned or damage.
Tactics Cards

In play formats that allow Tactics Cards, the following additional Tactics Cards are available to be included in the decks of Spyrer gangs that have at least one Jakara on their roster.

Charge Blade ~Beta~

You may play this card when a Jakara fighter is hit by an energy attack. Tuck this under that fighter's card.

When rolling to wound for a hit made using this fighter's Monomolecular Sword you may discard this card to cause the hit to automatically wound; armor saves are made as normal (the Monomolecular Sword's AP applies) and if no armor save is made +2 Damage is inflicted.

Energetic Assault ~Beta~

You may play this card when a Jakara fighter is able to Consolidate.

Instead of Consolidating, this fighter declares and takes a free Charge action, and gains your choice of +1 to hit or +1 to wound with all attacks in the ensuing close combat exchange if the Charge is successful and the free Fight action is taken.

Energetic Charge ~Beta~

You may play this card during the activation of a Jakara fighter.

Until the end of this activation, this fighter treats the Charge action as Simple rather than Double.

Pulse Shield ~Beta~

You may play this card when one or more Jakara fighters are hit by an energy based attack (from a las, plasma, melta, heat, flamer, radiation, shock, or power based weapon), from any direction.

The attack has no effect on the Jakara, and their Glimmerbeam is reloaded if they were out of Ammo. The Jakara cannot be wounded by energy based attacks until they next activate.
