The standard Invulnerable rules assume that the aliens we care most about are the ones with superhuman powers; the kind of powers that make them full-on heroes. But what about settings where aliens are nothing special, and many aren’t particularly powerful? Races with an abundance of “minor races”? This is where Race Packages are useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Race Packages grant a few minor Attribute and Talent modifiers, maybe a minor Power or two. They also have Weaknesses attached, giving them a net cost of 0 BP. This way, you can make an alien Prodigy at AWE 1, by choosing the Prodigy Origin and building a minor alien race package.<\/p>\n

Unless otherwise stated, all Powers that a minor race may gain have the Innate Biological Power Source.<\/p>\n

New Talent:<\/strong> When building a minor race package, you may select the special Talent Long-Lived. This Talent is only available for building minor race packages, and\u00a0acts like a minor version of the Hyper-Toughness Enhancement Resistance [Ageing]. Each level doubles extends the hero’s effective lifespan. In addition, each 2 Levels gives the hero 1 DET to spent on Talent rolls, if the Player can gives some quick backstory about something the hero learned in their long life.<\/p>\n

Pregenerated Race Packages<\/h1>\n

Two of these packages are fantasy roleplaying classics, and two are known alien races from the Invulnerable RPG setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dwarves<\/h2>\n

Stout, tough, grumpy, and short, Dwarves are renowned as miners, traders, craftsmen from low-tech dimensions. They love a good brawl and a good drink, but are grouchy and surly to outsiders.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Elves<\/h2>\n

The villain Dr. DNApe is a Vunorian; though he saved his world from the Unmaker, he promptly conquered it afterward, leading to his exile. Vunorians are big and strong, but blunt and pushy, and have a tough time masking and controlling their feelings.<\/p>\n
