Mobile Strike Marine Gunner Abilities
Gunner Expert 1: Starting at 1st level the Mobile Strike Marine Gunner has the option to forego movement in order to plant himself in place and spray at 3 cone area within 5 spaces of his position for Weapon Damage equal to 3d6. This requires a “Heavy” weapon and for every round the Gunner uses this ability he must succeed a Saving throw +Round or risk the excessive heat of the automatic fire warping the barrels of the weapon.
Gunner Expert 2: Starting at 5th level the Mobile Strike Marine Gunner’s above option increases to Weapon Damage equal to 4d6 with a spray cone equal to a 5 cone area. In addition, as long as the Mobile Strike Marine Gunner stays in position he gains +1 to his AC. This requires a “Heavy” weapon and for every round the Gunner uses this ability he must succeed a Saving throw +Round or risk the excessive heat of the automatic fire warping the barrels of the weapon.
Establish Tower: At 9th Level, the Mobile Strike Marine Gunner may establish either a terrestrial or Void “Tower” as a reward for his or her service by the UESF and be renamed Gunnery Commander. Assigned Gunners will be under the direct command of the Gunnery Commander and can be deployed in joint operations with other Strike Marine Units.
