Title: need stats for insect spirits in a Ares research lab
Post by: lonewolf1210 on <04-16-13/1603:55>

My group needs to get access to a isolated server in an underground Ares facility, but they dont know that it is mainly used by Ares for research on insect spirits and their rumored tries to integrate Insect Spirit parts as bioware into their soldiers.

This is part of the grand finale of a 3+ year campaign, and the characters have over 300 Karma each, including a troll adept with magic 11(and a Force 4 Weapon Focus) and a combat mage who routinely throws around Force 11 Fireballs/Stunballs. I would like this to be the last big and dangerous combat they have to do. The real finale will require more a focus on stealth and infiltration than combat powress.

So im looking if someone has somewhere stats for such highpowered insect spirits and/or such Ares soldiers with bug implants. I would really like them to be challenged to the brink, but not without giving them a chance.

Anyone?

There was a module published recently about Ares and bugs. Might want to check that out. Forget the name at the moment, though.

I think the module Mirikon's on about is called Sacrificial Limb. I haven't read it, so can't vouch for that, or for it's quality.

Shaidar's right too, there are bug spirit stats in Street Magic.

Good luck!

I'll post the wasp soldier stats when I get home. For some reason I've always had trouble converting those abstracts to actual mooks--and I'm all up in Abstract.

Ork Wasp N'drangheta lieutenant & soldiers (Artifacts Unbound, 89). There's also an optional rule where they can also use the Hive Mind as the equivalent of a Rating 4 Tactical network. Your players will love that.  8)
