SOLTUN TERRAFORMER
[PREREQUISITE: YOU MUST BE A SOLTUN TO TAKE THIS CLASS]

---

TERRAFORMING PROTOCOL 6829AE INITIATED
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE - Locate and terraform planetary objects into suitable formations in accordance with the needs of The Soltun Collective.

BEGIN PROTOCOL INSTALLATION

Tier 1

• PRIMARY PROTOCOL: Terraform - The nanites within your form contain the capability of rearranging matter at the molecular level. At your current level of power, this may only be applied to inorganic objects and only a small area. This may include changing rock into sand, dirt into water, anything within reason. The more dramatic and complex of a change you wish to attempt, the more difficult and power-intensive the procedure may be. Based on intelligence. Target must be within melee range.
  
• FIRMWARE INSTALLATION: Terraformer Drone Mk.1 - To improve your terraforming capabilities, we have increase your computational abilities to allow greater and more complicated thought and calculation. You gain +X to intelligence, where X is equal to your tiers in this class.

Tier 2

• UTILITY PROTOCOL: Nanite Conversion - WARNING: INSUFFICIENT NANITES DETECTED. PLEASE FIND ADDITIONAL MATTER TO CONSUME TO CREATE MORE NANITES SO THESE NANITES MAY FIND ADDITIONAL MATTER TO CONSUME TO CREATE MORE NANITES SO THESE NANITES MAY FIND ADDITIONAL MATTER TO CONSUME TO CREATE MORE NANITES SO THESE - ERROR: RECURSIVE LOOP DETECTED, ERROR RESOLVED. Once per encounter, you may attempt to convert inorganic matter into additional nanites. Based on intelligence.
• HARDWARE REINFORCEMENT - Many of our Terraformer Drones have fallen prey to simple avoidable failings, such as falling into a river with exposed wiring, or having an electromagnetic pulse detonated by inferior hostile aggressors attempting to combat terraformation. We are now protecting our field agents from future mishaps, errors, and what organic lifeforms have called, "fuck-ups". You are now much more resistant to damage from water and electromagnetic pulses.

Tier 3

• UTILITY PROTOCOL: Graviton Manipulation - Using advanced mana-fueled particle manipulation, you may change an object's gravitational constant to whatever is suitable to your terraforming objectives. You may now attempt to push or pull an object with gravity magic. The heavier the object is, the more difficult it will be. Based on intelligence.
• ADVANCED OPTICAL LENSES - Lower lifeforms use abstract concepts such as "wisdom" and "perspicacity" to observe the world around them. We have no such failings. You may now use intelligence for perception checks instead of perspicacity.

Tier 4

• COMBAT PROTOCOL: Ranged Nanite Deployment - Depending on the circumstances, you may not be able to touch a target to convert it. A high-powered mortar may aid in solving this issue. Once per day, mission, or bounty, reform your arm into a cannon and fire a shell filled with nanites. On impact, the area is coated with nanites which you may give one simple command. Based on intelligence.
• PRIMARY PROTOCOL UPGRADE: Terraform - With increased scientific development, we've learned to empower the range and effect of our nanites. You may now attempt to affect a larger area with your terraforming efforts.

Tier 5

• UNIQUE PROTOCOL: Resource Reallocation - The Soltun form is highly advanced in both form and function - however it is always possible to improve upon perfection. Once per day, mission, or bounty, absorb a target, whether it is organic or inorganic. You gain an ability based on this absorption for the remainder of the day, mission, or bounty.
• FIRMWARE UPDATE: Terraformer Drone Mk.2 - The strength of the metal used for our nanites is quite impressive in both its Blunt Force Trauma Resistance (BFTA) and Shininess Quotient (SQ). You gain +X/2 to vitality, where X is equal to your tiers in this class. Rounds down.

Tier 6

• UTILITY PROTOCOL UPGRADE: Nanite Conversion - A nanite is not much use without the power to make it function. Once per encounter, you may attempt to convert organic matter into additional power. The more complex and molecularly dense the matter is, the more power you are able to produce from it. Based on intelligence.

Tier 7

• DEFENSIVE PROTOCOL: Corporeal Disincorporation - As your body is made up of nanites, it is a simple matter of allowing these nanites to move apart to avoid incoming damage. Once per day, mission, or bounty, as an immediate reaction, turn your body into a puddle of nanites to automatically dodge an incoming attack. Some attacks are not able to be dodged in this manner.

Tier 8

• UTILITY PROTOCOL UPDATE: Graviton Manipulation - Sometimes the best thing to properly terraform is to simply take matter and push it somewhere else. Once per encounter you may attempt to slice and move an area of matter with a combination of nanite technology and gravity magic with no mass lost or any damage done to the matter. What happens once you release it may be another story. Based on intelligence.

Tier 9

• ADVANCED PROTOCOL: Electrical Optimization - In the course of your terraforming duties, you may find yourself running low on power and needing to return to base and recharge. However, many of these planets happen to be teeming with life. And where there is life, there is electricity. Once per day, mission, or bounty, attempt to siphon away the electrical impulses from any creature with a nervous system. If successful, this should allow you to easily recharge your batteries to maximum power. Based on intelligence.

Tier 10

• UNIQUE PROTOCOL UPDATE: Resource Reallocation - It can be difficult to lose a useful attachment gained from your resource reallocation. So why should you give it up? Once per WEEK, make an attachment permanent and gain the ability as a universal ability. Doing this leaves you SEVERELY drained on power and will utilize almost all of your free nanites. May not be possible with some abilities.
• FIRMWARE UPDATE: Terraformer Drone Mk.Infinity - We are done programming for this dead hardware. You're on your own from here. Good luck. You gain +X/4 to luck, where X is equal to your tiers in this class. Rounds down.
  
  

Tier 11

• Black_Hole.EXE - Just because The Soltun Collective stopped updating this software, doesn't mean there aren't some diehards on the internet who wanna push this software to its absolute limit and make some upgrades that may actually break galactic law. That's fine though, you ain't a cop, are you? Once per day, you can push your gravity magic to its absolute limit and create an orb of mana with such a powerful gravitational pull that almost nothing can escape it. That includes you or your allies, but hey. You're smart enough to deal with that, right? Do keep in mind this isn't as strong as an actual black hole however. Unless you're that good with your magic. Based on intelligence.

Tier 12

• Nanite_Conversion.BONUS - Oh man, they limited this? That's insane. Let's get some serious grey goo scenarios rolling. You no longer have the once per encounter limit on converting matter into nanites.
  

Tier 13

• REGULATORY IMPROVEMENTS: Environmentally Friendly - According to the stupid government, to be street legal Soltuns need to be "green" or whatever. That's fine, we can make this work. Once per day, you may perform one of the following functions. Both require you to be standing in direct sunlight. You may recharge your batteries with solar power based on intelligence. You may charge up and fire a concentrated and intensely hot beam of pure solar energy based on intelligence. You may spend an action to charge this ability before firing if you so choose.

Tier 14

• Electrical_Optimazition.MAXXED - Electricity is BORING. There's so much we can siphon from those pitiful organics. You now are also able to siphon a specific energy system of a target (mana, ki, psionics, etc) and use it to restore your own stores or integrate it with your systems. This upgrade also protects you from some of the negative effects of siphoning particularly potent energy from incredibly powerful targets.
  

Tier 15

• True_Terraforming.EXE - The most powerful terraformers don't even need a planet to start terraforming. They can make their own. Once per WEEK, assuming you have the nanite resources necessary, you may attempt to create a literal planet or planetoid out of nanites based on intelligence. Depending on its size, it may take a while.

• Class Mastery - Once per encounter, activate this ability as a simple action to gain a 1.5x multiplier to all class-related rolls done this turn.
