22. Z
22.1. Zombies
Here are a few alternatives to the standard SW zombies.
22.1.1. Rage Zombie
Not zombies in the strictest sense, these are humans who have been infected
with Rage, an experimental and viciously contagious virus which
attacks the human brain (specifically the emotional center). Victims become
feral killing machines, running on pure instinct until they finally burn
out, a process which typically takes about 2 months.
• Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d6 (A), Spirit d10, Strength d8, Vigor
d8
• Skills: Fighting d6, Guts d8, Intimidation d8, Notice d6, Throwing d4
• Pace: 8 ; Parry: 3; Toughness: 8
• Edges: Combat Reflexes
• Special Abilities:
– Berserk: Rage zombies are permanently Berserk. They take a
-2 to their Parry, and get a +2 to all their Fighting and Strength
rolls and to their Toughness.
– Bite/Claws: Str damage.
– Fast: Rage zombies move at a Pace of 8 and roll a d8 for Running.
– Fearless: These zombies are immune to Fear and Intimidation,
and need never make morale checks. They will attack until every
non-zombie within sight is dead (and most likely devoured) or
until they are themselves killed.
– Infection: Rage is incredibly infectious; any scratch or bite from
a Rage zombie which results at least in a Shaken will infect the
victim unless they make a Vigor roll at -2. Failure means that
they will succumb to the virus and become a Rage zombie within
1d4 rounds. There is no cure or treatment for Rage except death.
