Hello to all survivors of space,
I am a new GM in this awesome game. I have a technical questions concerning xenomorphs :
For each point of Speed they get one Fast one Slow Action.
But what possible Fast Action could that be ? except moving (Run, Move through doors) or Retreat ?
Shoving could be logical to get rid of an annoying roughneck with a cutting torch for example, but Xenos have 0 Close Combat...
Thanks for your help, and do not stress !

Hello there fellow GM!

You are correct, xenos get 1 slow and fast action per point of speed. So a drone can move twice in the initiative order. Part from moving, running, retreating there is nothing much more TBH. They are very straight forward creatures. I would say graple would be one of the actions, but i think that is a slow action (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

HI Spat, and welcome.

Wolfclaw, wouldn't the fast action depend on the alien breed, so for example, flying or swimming aliens may have a choice of move mode? [see InHarmsWay's awesome stats for detail]

IMC(In my campaign) I'm doing the Black vs Red queen brood-war, with both aliens in a classic arms-race against each other, and humanity as suitable snacks/hosts)

Try to make them unpredictible and hm alien:
https://medium.com/subpixelfilms-com/si ... 2194aa26cb has some good thoughts on why the alien never should be "scripted", that should be implemented in the rpg IMO.
