INTRODUCTION

The world of Aliens vs. Predator promotes a cold,

cruel future where corporations guide human destiny

and alien races clash with humanity caught in the

middle. There are a number of resources to help

define the world of AVP including the Aliens and

Predator movies, novels, and comics as well as

websites dedicated to this deep world.

This book is not intended to reproduce those works,

but rather to provide the rules and guides necessary

to play a game of Simple 10 within that universe. As a

result, a lot of information will be missing from this

book that must be gathered elsewhere.

CHARACTER CREATION

The rules the follow are only guidelines, but are

intended to keep the mood of the AVP comics, books,

and movies.

HUMANS

In the universe of Aliens vs. Predator everyone could

be in the crossfire. Ultimately your characters role is

based on your career. The list below includes some

examples of careers your character might choose,

their most important attribute and skill for the job.

Most starting characters should being play with 5

character points.

Corporate Exec (mind, social,

tech/ed) Corporate life consumes all

and in the minds of many executives,

the thirst for promotions and richestrumps all else. A corporate executive

can be anyone from the middle

management in the field to one of the

presidents of a division.

Corporate Security (body,

operation, physical) The

corporations employ a number of

security personnel from basic

security guards to special assault

troops to personal bodyguards.

Scientist (mind, operation,

perception) There are thousands of

scientists needed in the known galaxy.

With inter-space travel possible the

need for chemists, physicists, botanists,

and geneticists has exploded as

corporations seek sources for newtechnology and revenue.

Synthetic A synthetic is an

android, an artificial person. They

are generally programmed for

services such as security, science,

law, etc. Non-combat synthetics are

programmed with prime directives to never harm

humans or allow them to be harmed. Of course, not

all programming is perfect

Technician (mind, operation,tech/ed) Like scientists,

technicians are always in great need.

The technician tends to perform

repairs and refit equipment

throughout space stations and ships.

United Systems Colonial Marines

(body, operation, physical) The

Colonial Marines are one branch of

the interstellar alliance as depicted

in the movie Aliens. Their role is

primarily as peace keepers, rescue,

and assault troops.

PREDATORS (YAUTJA)

Predators are a race of warriors divided into a caste

system. Most Yautja begin play with 5 character

points.

Large Predators are larger and heavier than

humans and as a result gain a +1 to Wound Points

when using melee and thrown weapons and their

Health. On the other hand, their larger size gives

them a -1 to Dodge checks.

Jump yautja are capable of leaping up to six meters.

Mimicry The predator race studies their prey in

detail and are capable of mimicking their language

and even understanding it.

Yautja, Unblooded (5cp)Mind -1, Body 3, Spirit0

Physical 3

Initiative Mod (Mind + Body +

Health (Body +5): 9*

Max Damage (Health x2) 18

Operation): -1

Dodge/Throw (Mind + Physical): 1*/2

Special Traits: Large (+1 Health, -1 Dodge, +1 WP

melee/thrown), Leap 6 meters

The unblooded yautja are unproven and have not

made enough kills to be considered warriors. In

human terms, they are apprentices not yet worthy of

hunting on their own.

Yautja, Blooded (10cp)Mind -1, Body 4, Spirit2

Operation 1, Perception 1, Physical 3

Initiative Mod (Mind + Body + 10): 13



Melee Weapons (Body + Physical): 7

Ranged Weapons (Mind + Operation): 0


Special Traits: Large (+1 Health, -1 Dodge, +1 WP

melee/thrown), Leap 6 meters

Blooded yautja have proven their prowess on the

hunt and display their blood-mark with pride. The

blood mark is a scar, often on the forehead, that is a

symbol of the clan. Newly blooded warriors are

allowed to enter a hunt alone, but will often be

accompanied by a senior. Blooded yautja are often

tasked with teaching the unblooded.

ALIENS

While intelligent, aliens are incapable of

communicating in a method understood by humans

and predators. However, they are able to

communicate through a crude form of body language,

pheromones and infrared pattern changes on their

large elongated skulls.

Aliens have some unique abilities that make them

quite fearsome.

Acid Blood All aliens have acid for blood that they

often use as a weapon or to overcome obstacles. If an

alien is wounded by a piercing or slashing weapon, all

enemies targeting the alien with melee weapons or

characters that the alien targeted, must make a dodge

check vs. the amount of damage it received. Thus if

the alien took 4 points of damage, then roll 1d10 and

add 4. All appropriate targets roll vs. this attack.The acid causes 1 point of damage per round up to

the maximum rolled. Characters with armor can

avoid taking damage by removing their armor before

the acid eats through the armor. Armor gives one

round per point of armor to prevent damage. Armor

2 gives two rounds etc. Armor struck by acid will be

ruined and require significant repair.

Acid Spit All aliens from the face hugger to the

queen can cause a small laceration in their mouth and

spit the acid at an opponent. This is treated like anormal thrown attack, though the target must be

within 10 meters to be hit. Use the rules for acid

blood above.

Fear Some aliens have the ability to unnerve their

opponents with a release of pheromones and

intimidation. Characters must make a morale check

when the pheromones are released.

Climb With the exception of chest-burster and

queen, all aliens can climb any surface up to 15

meters per round without penalty.

Leap Most adults have the ability to leap up to six

meters. They can use this ability to escape their

enemies or attack as needed.

Nerve Toxin An adult alien can inject its prey with

a potent nerve toxin injected through spines on its

tail. A character struck by the tail which causes at

least 1 point of damage must make a Body + Spirit

contest with the aliens toxin. Failure results in 1

minute of paralysis per point of the failure.

Egg, Alien (NA)Mind -5, Body -4, Spirit-5

Perception 2(-3)


Health (Body +5): 1

Max Damage (Health x2) 2Dodge/Throw (Mind + Physical): -9

Special Traits: Natural Armor 1, Acid Blood

The egg is nothing more than a covering, a protective

shell for the face hugger within. However, the egg

reacts to movement nearby and if it detects a

possible host, it will hatch the following round.

Also, if the egg is damaged, but not destroyed, it will

hatch the following round. Any excess damage caused

to the egg is transferred to the face hugger within.

Face Hugger, Alien (1cp)Mind -3, Body -3, Spirit0

Perception 2, Physical 3, Fear 0 (0s),

Nerve Toxin 2 (2s)





Ranged Weapons (Mind + Operation): NA


Special Traits: Acid Blood, Climb, Leap, Nerve Toxin

Fear, Small (+1 Dodge, -1 Health, -1 WPmelee/thrown)

The face hugger appears to be a spider-like creature

with a strong tail. Its entire purpose in life is to find a

suitable host in which to lay its eggs and then it dies.

Generally speaking, a face hugger will only live for a

maximum of 72 hours and it takes at least 8 hours to

lay its eggs within a typical host.

In combat, a face hugger will use its physical skill to

hide or leap at opponents faces. On a successful

attack, the face hugger attaches its self to the victims

face. If its face attack causes at least 1 WP, it begins

administering a nerve toxin that paralyses its victim.

Chest Burster, Alien (-1cp)Mind -3, Body -3, Spirit0

Perception 2, Physical 3






Dodge/Throw (Mind + Physical): 0Special Traits: Acid Blood, Acid Spit, Small (+1

Dodge, -1 Health, -1 WP melee/thrown)

The chest burster is a newborn alien and is the most

vulnerable of the creatures. Unlike its older and

larger brothers, the chest burster is unable to climb

or cause fear, or even leap. Its primary function is to

survive to adulthood which will happen within 24

hours with adequate food.

Unless cornered, the chest burster will run from

combat.

Drone, Alien (6cp)Mind -1, Body 0, Spirit2

Perception 2, Physical 3, Fear 0 (2s)


Health (Body +5): 5



Ranged Weapons (Mind +

Operation): NA

Dodge/Throw (Mind + Physical): 2

Special Traits: Natural Armor 1, Acid Blood, AcidSpit, Climb, Leap, Nerve Toxin, Fear

An alien drone is the most common type of alien,

often called the adult. It is nearly two-meters tall

and is horrifying to most humans.

Queen, Alien (15cp)Mind 3, Body 3, Spirit3

Perception 3, Physical 3, Fear 0 (3s)






Dodge/Throw (Mind + Physical): 5*/6Special Traits: Natural Armor 2, Acid Blood, Acid

Spit, Nerve Toxin, Fear, Large (+1 Health, -1 Dodge,

+1 WP melee/thrown)

The queen alien is far

larger than any of the

other aliens and has a

telepathic link with

certain drones. Some

queens are larger than

this example and thus

would have a higherbody and larger

modifiers due to their

size.

EQUIPMENT

The following equipment is only a small example of

what is available in the Aliens vs. Predator universe.

MARINES

Strapped for cash and nearly obsolete, the USCM is

fitted with outdated but reliable equipment. Access to

non-standard gear is heavily restricted due to

budgetary concerns.

Combat Armor The M3 Combat Harness is heavy

armor +3 AR and includes vitals sensors and a

transmitter for the camera and other tracking

equipment.

Motion Tracker The motion tracker gives a +2

bonus to Perception vs. Stealth while in use.

Pistol, +1 WP With very few exceptions, all pistolsgive a +1 WP modifier. Most USCM personnel carry a

9mm as a sidearm.

Pulse Rifle, +3 WP The M41A1 Pulse Rifle is a

standard issue assault rifle that is capable of burst

fire and full auto (+1 Accy, +1 WP). The clip can hold

up to 99 shots of caseless, explosive-tipped

ammunition. Additionally it has a 30mm under-barrel

grenade launcher.

Remote Sentry Gun, 10 SA/+4 WP For use in

highly hostile environments only, the UA571 Remote

Sentry Unit is capable of tracking and attacking

multiple targets or being controlled remotely from a

command station. Each unit is loaded with belt-fed

high-velocity, explosive-tipped rounds. The trackingsystem can be set to manual or auto-tracking. If set to

manual, treat as +1 Accy/+4 WP.

Shotgun, +2 WP The M21A Combat Shotgun is

rarely deployed in combat situations, but has proven

its self too versatile of a weapon to simply remove

from the USCM inventory.

Smartgun Harness, +2 AR The harness and

assembly for the smartgun is designed with an

integrated breastplate that gives substantial

protection for vitals.

8/14/2019 Simple-10 AVP 1.00

7/9


Smartgun, +2 Accy/+4 WP Typically a squad will

deploy with at least one M56A2 Smart Gun. The gyro-

stabilized machinegun is fixed with an infrared

targeting system that increases accuracy.

Sniper Rifle, +4 WP The standard issue USCM

sniper rifle is the M42A which is a semi-auto rifle

with a 15 round clip. The scope reduces the range

penalty by up to 6.

CORPORATE

Corporations have access to Marine equipment and

more.

Heavy Pistol, +2 WP The heavy pistol is generally

a revolver with a limited number of shots.

Sonic Disruptor, Special The sonic disruptor is ananti-riot device that uses sound frequencies to

debilitate targets. The disruptor affects everyone in a

cone up to 10 meters long and 10 meters wide. Any

characters in the blast area must make a Spirit +

Physical check. Any WP are translated to skill roll

penalties which last until the sonic disruptor is

disabled or they leave the target area. Characters that

fail by 5+ are overcome with nausea.

SMG, +1 Accy/+2 WP The SMG is often issued to

special security forces. It is only capable of firing in

auto fire mode.

Taser, 0 WP Corporations do not like bad publicity

and having security staff killing off company

employees is rarely good for business. The taser is a

single-shot pistol with a 10 meter range. After that, it

can be used as a melee weapon. However, the

damage caused by the taser is temporary and usually

only affects the character for about ten minutes.

PREDATORS

Camo Field Generator, +2 AR The camouflage

used by the predators is created by a field generator

that bends light around the user. When engaged, the

field generator blocks visible light but not ultraviolet

or infrared and gives a +2 bonus to stealth checks.

The field created by the shift suit also deflects bullets

to a degree, but only when the shift suit is active.

Chakra, +4 WP The chakra, or smart disk, is a

remote controlled disk which can be used as a melee

weapon or ranged.

Combi Stick, +1 WP The combi stick is a

retractable spear that can extend from meter to

over two meters in length.

Hunters Mask, +1 Accy The mask is a

multifunction device which includes chemical

filtration and visual enhancements. The helmet also

includes audio/visual recording and playback and

acts as a heads-up display for various controls

including targeting and sensors.

Needle Gun, -2 WP If the hunter needs to capture

prey, he will often use the needle gun. The needle gun

does not cause any Wound Points, but instead injects

a nerve toxin that paralyzes the prey. Roll a Spirit +

Physical contest vs. 1d10 -2. If the toxin succeeds

then the victim is paralyzed for ten minutes per point

of failure.

Medical Field Kit The predator med kit gives a +2

bonus to any medical aid check.

Netgun, +1 Accy/-2 WP The netgun shoots a 3

meter net at incredible speeds. If the net hits, it will

entangle its target. The net also constricts each round

and will roll 1d10 -5 on a Physical + Body contest.

Plasmacaster, +1 Accy/+3 WP The plasmacaster

is a shoulder mounted energy weapon.

Spear Gun, +2 WPA predators more silent

weapon, the spear gun fires small U shaped darts.

Shuriken, +1 WP The shuriken are a type of large

throwing disk that ends in a series of spikes and

razor sharp blades.

Wrist Computer In order to control all of the

systems that a predator uses, the wrist computer is

the primary control system including the self-

destruct system.

8/14/2019 Simple-10 AVP 1.00

9/9


Wrist Claws, +0 WP As depicted in the films, the

predators are typically equipped with some form of

retractable knives that mount to a mechanism on

their wrist.

ALIENS

Aliens do not have technology per say, but they do

have the ability to transform their surroundings to

better benefit them.

Cocoon When a creature is captured by an alien

they are often brought back to the hive to become

hosts for chest bursters and are placed in cocoons.

Creatures caught in a cocoon can try to escape by

making three successful Body + Physical tests vs. T#

10. The first success allows the character to free their

hands and use tools to assist. The next two successes

free the characters legs and torso. One attempt takes

one round and any drones in the area will be alerted

to the characters movement.

Hibernation Sack Alien drones can build a

membrane around themselves which allows them to

survive for an incredible amount of time in hostile

environments. The sack appears to be a large egg, but

houses a fully developed alien. Treat the hibernation

sack like a normal egg.

Hive A single alien can begin to construct a hive

using the mucus they excrete. One alien can convert a3 x 3 x 3 meter room into a hive in 12 hours of work.

Aliens in a hive gain a +2 bonus to Stealth checks.

Royal Jelly The Royal Jelly is a chemical found only

in the egg sack of an Alien queen and its properties

have only just begun to be understood by humanity.

It is extremely valuable to research labs and

pharmaceutical corporations for its curative and

addictive properties.

The End.
