A Hero need not

speak. When he is
gone, the world will
speak for him.
HALO RPG

Alright Spartan, perk up your ears, cause Im only going to say this once. You gotta know the
rules of war before you hop in to combat and start throwing stickies at everything that moves. The
following documents will give you the basics, but theyre no substitute for real experience.

Starting Off
Things are going to be a tad different here than in
your standard Savage Worlds game. Lets go down
the list of whats changed. A lot of things are going
to be cut out, but the goal is to keep it simple and
running smooth. The emphasis is going to be on
combat abilities, squad combat, and fast paced
action.
New Race Spartan
Lets be honest, you want to be Spartans. So heres
the stats for Spartans. Free d6 in Strength, Agility
and Vigor. Free d4 in shooting and fighting. 1 Free
combat edge. All have the Outsider hindrance.

hindrances that dont apply to these guys.

Squad Combat
The emphasis here is all about a squad. Either a
squad of Spartans or a full unit of marines with
Spartan COs. Everyone needs to learn how to
work as a unit, pick a squad commander before the
fighting begins and go off of his orders. A standard
marine squad is composed of five members of the
following unit types.

COVENANT WEAPONS

BRUTE WEAPONS

Special Notes
Spartan Laser Upon firing the Spartan Laser, the
weapon will require a full round to recharge
before it can be fired again.
Needler Upon a successful hit with the needler
(even if the damage done doesnt beat the targets
toughness) a needle sticks in the target. If the
target survives seven needles stuck in him, the
seven needles will explode causing 4d6 damage
ignoring armor.
Plasma Grenade The plasma grenade will stick
to the wall or target it is thrown at and explode the
next round.

Plasma Pistol/Rifle You may spend an action to
charge the weapon by making a shooting roll and
hitting the TN. The charge increases the damage
to +2 and the ammo cost from 1 to 10. Charging it
a second time increases the weapons AP to 4.
Firebomb Creates a fire in the area of the
explosion that lasts for 2 rounds.
Spike grenade There is an additional blast of
shrapnel in a large burst template. The shrapnel
does 2d8 damage. This damage is rolled
separately from the explosion damage. The
shrapnel can be avoided just like the grenade.

Armor Notes
Battle Suit Increases Strength by one die type,
adds +2 to pace, allows users to jump 2d6
horizontally or 1d6 vertically. Has short and long
range communication device. All human weapons
are linked to the internal targeting system, giving
+1 to shooting rolls. Contains a radar unit that scans
in a 30 diameter and reports on live targets and
moving inorganic targets. Does not distinguish
between faction.
Shields Shields function as a solid object that
block incoming attacks. The shields on armor cover
every part of the body the armor covers. Any type
of damage can damage the shield. Plasma based
weapons have an easier time hurting shields. You
must destroy the shields before you can hit the
target.
Light Shielding Toughness 10 (6 vs. Plasma)
Medium Shielding Toughness 12 (8 vs Plasma)
Heavy Shielding Toughness 14 (10 vs Plasma)
Personal Shield units take five minutes to recharge,
or require a shield re-charger to be dropped.
