Bonus Rule:
Archaic Firearms
August 1, 2004
Archaic Firearms follow all of the standard rules for Missile Weapons. They also take a full move and action to reload after every shot.

Pistols           Cost  Hit  Dmg     Range  PHYS
Flintlock Pistol  $30   +1   5/7/9   18     7

Rifles            Cost  Hit  Dmg     Range  PHYS

Flintlock Rifle   $60   0    6/8/10  24     9

A blunderbuss has a 3-space diameter area of effect (TDS 5.9, p. 12). Targets that aren't in the center space only take 2/4/6 damage.
Creature Conversion
August 16, 2003
Too many d20 sourcebooks collecting dust on your gaming shelf? This extremely handy .pdf printout shows how to convert creature statistics from the d20 system to Pocket Universe!
Bonus Rule:
Martial Arts Skill
August 16, 2002
Martial Arts* (DEFT/-4): This skill represents knowledge of an advanced unarmed combat technique. You must specify a martial arts style when you purchase this skill (Kung Fu, Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, etc). The character's skill plus is added to their damage, skill roll, or PHYS level (never more than one at a time) when performing maneuvers in the specified style. For example, a character who punches for 1/2/3 damage can do 2/4/6 damage if they buy Martial Arts: Fung Fu at +2. A character who grapples with a PHYS Roll of 1/2/3 can roll 2/4/6 if they buy Martial Arts: Wrestling. The character's overall Martial Arts skill can also be used for any maneuver that is not covered by the standard combat skills.
Bonus Rule:
Automatic Weapons
August 15, 2002
When firing an automatic weapon, you may trade in damage levels to spread your attack across multiple targets. An autofire burst only counts as one action no matter how many targets are included.

You must declare all of your targets before opening fire; each target after the first reduces the weapon's damage level on ALL of the targets by 1. For example, a light automatic rifle can attack a single target for 4/6/8 damage, or two adjacent targets for 3/5/7 damage, or three adjacent targets for 2/4/6 damage (and so on).

The targets must be within 1 movement space of each other, though you may spray across empty spaces (and suffer the damage penalty) in order to hit multiple targets that aren't adjacent. Roll to hit each target separately.

You may combine the autofire rules with the normal multiple attack rules if you want to make multiple multi-target bursts in the same turn.

Use the firearm statistics in PU, but halve the range of automatic weapons and double their cost.

Bonus Rule:
Holding Your Breath
August 14, 2002
Characters can hold their breath for 1 combat round per point of WILL Value if they take a deep breath first. If they have no time to prepare, the time limit is halved. If they take a minute to prepare, the time limit is doubled. Here's a new Advantage:

Lung Capacity (1): Add 1 to the character's WILL when calculating how long they can hold their breath. Lung Capacity can only be taken once.

Quick Magic
Character Sheet
January 8, 2002
This is an updated version of the Pocket Universe character sheet, with places to record the PSYC Attribute and NRG points form the Quick Magic expansion.
Optional Rule:
WILL Enhancement
December 28, 2001
Here's a handy optional rule that you may want to implement in your Pocket Universe campaign. Apply the character's WILL Modifier when checking to see if they fall unconscious, get knocked out, resist drugs like truth serum, etc. For example, a character with 10 Hit Points normally gets knocked out if he takes 6 points of damage or more. With this rule, if his WILL is 11 then it takes 7 points to knock him out. Or if his WILL is 9, then it only takes 5 damage to knock him out. Cool, huh?
