So there's a decent article in the SF-Man dealing with an Ifshnit revamp and Jedion is working on the Humma revamp...that only leaves the E.T.-ish Osakar left to deal with.

I took one look at the pic in Zeb's and noticed that their "feet" look just like their hands. So naturally I entertained the thought of having said "feet" prehensile, just like their hands. This permits them to utilize tools and weapons with their feet in addition to their hands, although movement gets limited as such.

I allow them full movement rate with four "free" feet and half movement rate with three, standing on two feet results in standing at best and RS checks during any combat to remain balanced and upright. Hence, they could fire two rifles if standing on two feet or three to four pistols each combat turn (with the offhand and firing more than one weapon penalties applied), etc. Or they could remain "seated" and attack with all limbs...six pistols or three rifles, making them quite desirable during open-cabin vehicle combat.

It also permits additional martial arts attacks, depending upon how many feet are utilized: one kick at normal movement rates, two kicks at half movement rates and three kicks when standing on two feet w/RS checks.

I also entertained the idea of ambidexterity...but considering the additional attacks I figured it would get too imbalanced.


Anyways there's probably more room for improvement, but that's what I have done.

Discuss.

I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why.
