Mass Effect Age 1.03

Mass Effect AGE
By Clemens Kander
1
What will you find in here?

You wont find the basic rules of Dragon Age RPG in here. This is an expansion to the original game, that
takes the AGE mechanics and puts it into the Mass Effect universe. You will find new rules or rule adaptions
(like the Health/Armor/Shield mechanic for example) new classes, talents, Biotic and Tech abilities, items and
adversaries. You will find new focuses, but you wont find an explanation about focuses in general, what
bonuses they give or how they work exactly. You wont find rules for basic, opposed and advanced ability
tests or combat mechanics. You will find new stunts, but I will not enlighten you on how to generate and use
stunt points. All of those rules are included in Dragon Age RPG Set 1. It is a great game, it is fun and thrilling,
so one thing you will definately find here is a recommendation to buy it. Please not that I personally am not
affiliated with GreenRonin Publishing or BioWare this is purely a fan project, and once youve got the
Dragon Age RPG, you will be free to use this expansion as you like. If you have suggestions or wishes for
future editions, feel free to visit the Mass Effect AGE thread on the Green Ronin forums
(http://www.greenronin.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=10703) and leave a comment.

relationship since then, so close that many young drell even adopt the hanar beliefs of the Enkindlers.

child in a thousand conceptions. The krogan adapted to this in a matter of culture family, clans, are valued,

members of the council. Salarians are extremely fast paced, due to their metabolism, and are often viewed
as hyperactive by other species. The salarians are known for their special operatives they dont field a
military as numerous as the turians but rely on an network of spies and operatives to strike where it hurts
most.They are also known to be incredibly inventive, not only having uplifted the krogan to space, and
developed the genophage but also having invented the GARDIAN weapon systems used in many
spaceships.

Classes
Basics
Whats to know about the classes? There are three categories, areas of expertise if you will, where each
class fits into. Some overlap, taking abilities from several fields of expertise, whereas others are specialized,
utilizing only the powers of a single field. The following table should give you a pretty good overview.
Combat
Soldier
Infiltrator
Vanguard
Biotics
Adept
Sentinel
Vanguard
Tech
Engineer
Sentinel
Infiltrator
Each background allows you to pick a class from one or more of the fields of expertise. For example, if you
picked an asari background, which allows you to pick a Biotic class, you would have to choose between
Adept, Sentinel and Vanguard, whereas a Salarian, being able to choose between Soldier and Tech, could
take any class except the Adept class. Take note of the background colours: The Infiltrator class in the
Combat tree has an orange background, whereas the Infiltrator class in the Tech tree has a red background.
This means that the Infiltrator class is a mix of Combat and Tech powers. The same principle goes with the
Vanguard being Combat/Biotic and the Sentinel being Biotic/Tech. The Soldier, Adept and Engineer class are
specialists, taking abilities only from their field of expertise.
Notable Changes
When leveling up, characters will only gain their Constitution as a bonus to their health score. In addition,
there are two new mechanics related to recieving and absorbing damage: Shields and Armor. Shields work
in a similiar fashion as health does. When a character levels up, he gains 1d6 + Tech (Shield Tech) as a
boost to his shields. Armor is a constant value depending on the armor youre wearing. Damage migitation
works as following: Shields are a characters first layer of defense. Once the shields are down, the armor gets
damaged next. Lastly, if the armor gets worn out, the characters health will take damage. Certain attacks,
biotic techniques or arms tech will either deal bonus damage against shields or armor or will bypass them
completely. Thus it is necessary to keep track of your shield and armor score at all times. Shields
automatically recharge after combat. Armor will have to be repaired, using a Dexterity (Crafting) roll against
a TN specified by the DM and using a certain amount of omni-gel (a resource of many uses in the Mass
Effect galaxy) depending on the damage the armor has sustained. The big difference between the original
AGE armor and Mass Effect AGE (in future referenced to as MEAGE) armor is in its actual effect. Whereas
the AGE armor reduces the damage a character takes, MEAGE armor works like a second amount of health,
which needs to get damaged in order to break through. As an example: Shepard is wearing an armor with
the value of 15. He gets attacked by a blue sun mercenary with a pistol, who deals 6 damage. The armor
has now only a value of 9. Should the damage inflicted be greater than the remaining armor value, all
overrolling damage is directly inflicted upon the targets health.
Defense and Speed

Defense is calculated as in Dragon Age RPG Set 1 PG p. 31. So is speed, only that all races have a base
speed of 10.
Character Creation Notice

Should you decide to create a character and use the rules specified in Dragon Age Set 2 PG p. 26 Buying
Abilities you may spend 11 points to buy your abilities, instead of the usual 10. Other than that, the same
rules concerning the cost of abilities and the maximum ability score you can buy still apply.
Leveling up
Leveling up works, as described in Dragon Age RPG Set 1 PG p. 26 Gaining Levels with two exceptions:
When leveling up, you recieve your Constitution ability as a bonus to your maximum health (after assigning
your ability increase). When leveling up, you add 1d6 + Tech (Shield Tech) to your maximum shield energy.
15
Soldier
Soldiers
are
the
backbone of every
army. They are the
meat that gets thrown
into close combat,
being either the line of
defense or the tip of
the spear to break the
enemy. Soldiers get
trained in a variety of
weapons and gear,
but they completely
lack biotic or tech
powers.

Powers
Biotic and Tech powers in MEAGE work similiar to magic in the DARPG. Spellpower is substituted by Biotic
power or Tech power depending on the type of ability you want to use.
Biotic blast = 10 + Biotic + Focus (If applicable)
Tech blast = 10 + Tech + Focus (If applicable)
Since there is no mana in Mass Effect, Biotic Implants and Omni-Tools (which enable you to use Biotic and
Tech abilities) go on cooldown after use, preventing you from using major Biotic and Tech abilities. The
cooldown of your Biotic and Tech abilties is dependent on the quality of your omni-tool or bio-amp.
Major abilities are all abilities listed in this chapter. A Biotic could still lift a small item if he has the
Telekinesis (Regular) talent, even though his Biotic implant is on cooldown. A Tech has still access to his
personal drone gained through the Synthetics (Regular) talent if his Omni-Tool cooldown prevents him from
using Tech abilities, and so on and so forth.
You may advance only three times in a single power, which means that you will only be able to choose one
of the available Expert options for each power.

Min. Str.: The minimum strength required to use the weapon without a malus .
Clip: The number of ammunition rounds a thermal clip will last. Ammo itself is not an issue most weapons
contain a block of metal which gets cut into slugs by the weapons internal computer, which determines the
exact mass of metal required, basing its calculation on weapon type, distance and atmospheric pressure.
Weapons tend to overheat though, which is why every weapon needs thermal clips to keep them cooled
down. Depending on the calculations of the weapons computer, thermal clips may last longer or shorter.
Cost: The cost of the weapon when bought on the regular market. Gauntlets are part of any armor and dont
have to be purchased on their own.

Actions and Stunts

Stunt
Skirmish: You can move yourself or the target of your attack 2
yards in any direction for each 1 SP you spend.
Fast Reload: You may immediately reload a ranged weapon.
Disarm: You aim for your targets weapon, blowing it out of
their hands. The target must make an Dexterity
(Legerdemain) test with a TN equal to your attack roll. If they
fail, their weapon flies 1d6 yards in a direction of your
choosing.
Pierce Armor: Your damage will ignore the uppermost layer of
defense on your target and deal half damage to the next layer
below.
Distracting Fire: Your fire rattles an enemies nerves. You
must make an opposed test of your weapon ability and focus
(Dexterity (Pistols) when using pistols) vs. the targets
Willpower (Self-Discipline). If you win, the target suffers a -1
penalty on attack and ability rolls on their next turn.
Threatening Fire: Your fire directly threatens one target within
10 yards. You must make an opposed test of your Strength
(Intimidate) vs. the targets Willpower (Self-Discipline). If
you win, they must attack you in some way on their next turn.
Lightning Attack: You make a second attack against the
same enemy. If you roll doubles on this attack roll, you do not
get any more stunt points.
Knock-Down: Make an opposed test of your Strength
(Brawling) vs. the targets Dexterity (Acrobatics). If you
succeed, the target is knocked prone.
Fire Arc: You sweep your weapon across the battlefield,
attacking two targets. You use your same attack roll against a
target within 10 yards of the first. If this second attack hits, roll
damage for the second target.
Seize the Initiative: You act quickly and efficiently, seizing
control of the pace of battle. You move to the top of the
initiative order. This means you may get to take another turn
before some of the combatants get to act again. You remain at
the top of the order until someone else seizes the initiative.
Roleplaying and Exploration stunts are the same as described in Dragon Age RPG Set 2 p. 78.
Major Actions
Charge: You may move up to half your speed in yards to an enemy and attack him. You gain a +1 bonus on
your attack roll.
Blind Fire: You fire haphazardly over cover without exposing yourself to return fire. You can choose to take
up to a -3 penalty on this attack in order to receive up to +3 in defense until your next turn. You must be
in cover in order to use this action.
First Aid: You provide some quick first aid to an injured ally. You must be adjacent to your ally and you must
have medi-gel ready. This is a TN 11 Tech (First Aid) test. If you are successful, your ally gets back an
amount of Health equal to the dragon die + your Tech. A character cannot benefit from another First Aid
action until he takes additional damage. This action consumes one medi-gel per use.
Attack: You attack an enemy within your range with the weapon you are currently carrying.
48
Burst-Fire: When you attack with an automatic weapon (sub-machine gun or assault rifle), you may choose
to spend 5 ammunition in order to add +1d6 to your weapons damage roll. When doing so, your attack roll
bonus suffers a -3 penalty.
Run: You can move up to double your Speed in yards. You cannot take this action if you are prone (youd
need to use the Move action to stand up first). You do not gain any benefit from cover until your next turn
and suffer and an additional -2 to defense until your next turn.
Take Cover: You crouch behind cover, letting your shields recharge. You gain 1d6 + Tech (Shield Tech)
shield deflection.
Minor Actions
Activate: This action allows you to start using certain powers or items, such as fighting styles and grenades.
Aim: You take the measure of your opponent and plan your next strike. If your next action is a melee attack
or ranged attack, you gain a +1 bonus on your attack roll.
Tactical Move: You can move up to your Speed in yards. You can also go prone, stand up, get in a vehicle,
or duck into cover, but if you do so you can only move at half speed (rounded down).
Prepare: You pick one major action that you prepare to execute and then end your turn. Any time until your
next turn, you can interrupt another character and take your prepared action immediately. If you dont use it
by your next turn, the action is lost. You cannot take the prepared action if youve already taken a major
action on your turn. Prepared actions can be used to interrupt and cancel out Rush actions.
Ready: You can take out a weapon, ready a grenade, or otherwise ready an item that is stowed. As part of
this action, you can put away something already in hand. You could thus put away your shotgun and a draw
an assault rifle, for example. You may not drop and ready an item as a free action. This action is also used to
reload your weapon.

Changelog
1.01
Strength (Assault Rifles) is now Perception (Assault Rifles). Assault Rifles are weapons with
longer range and thus need good aim to hit a target.
Dexterity (Pistols) is now Perception (Pistols). Pistols are close range weapons, but they can fire
only one shot at a time. This shot needs to be well placed.
Strength (Shotguns) is now Dexterity (Shotguns). Shotguns are close range weapons, and the
carrier needs good handling to use them.
Hacking and Bypassing are now the same focus. The Electronics talent has been changed
accordingly.
Drell now gain +1 Strength instead of +1 Constitution.
Reworked weapon strength requirements. Heavy Weapons now have a strength requirement the
carrier must meet to use them at all. Omni-Blades no longer have a strength requirement.
Fixed some spelling errors.
Backgrounds which had access to the Soldier class now have access to the Combat class.
1.02
Power users have been buffed: Adepts, Engineers, Infiltators, Sentinels have recieved a health buff
to make them less squishy. Adepts also recieved a minor shield buff. Vanguard's health has been
raised to be more in line with the soldier. Adepts and Engineers now may choose three powers
instead of two at level 1.
Reworked Omni-Tools and Bio-amps: The cooldowns are now much lower, the curve from longest to
shortest cooldown has been flattened out. These tools now focus on giving boni to your casting roll.
Added a clarification on leveling up: Should have been in v1.0 already, I can't believe I've overlooked
this.
Added clarifications on some talents, specificially regarding the 'training' talents.
Fixed some minor issues (typos, wrong foci at some places, et cetera)
1.03
Added levels 6-10 for all classes.

Added specializations for all classes.
Changed benefit 3-4 on the Colonist additional benefits table from Tech (Engineering) to
Constitution (Stamina).
Adepts and Engineers no longer get the assault rifle weapon group, unless specified so by a class
power.
Changed the Talents background colour from red to light green to prevent confusion over them
belonging to a certain class (since red is the colour of the Combat classes).
Changed the Telekinesis (Veteran) from +1 to your dragon die when casting Telekinesis powers to
+1 when generating stunt points through casting Telekinesis powers.
Changed the Strength requirements of the assault rifle weapons from 0, 1, 1, 2 to 0, 1, 2, 3.
Adjusted weapon, armor and item prices.
SP cost of Threatening Fire increased from 2 to 3.
The Sentinel class may no longer choose the Slam power. Sentinels now have access to the Barrier
power in return.
The stat used to determine the difficulty of a saving throw vs. Tech and Biotic powers is now known
as Tech blast or Biotic blast.

Thanks to Erik Bernhardt (known on the Green Ronin forums as exhominem) for his original Mass

his edition provided the basic grid as well as some other stuff. Erik Bernhardts version can be found
