Arcanowave Vehicles
You must have an AI/O unit to drive arcanowavne vehicles. You need only hook up to the vehicle in very intense situations, such as chases, and you still use the Drive skill. Arcanowave vehicles don't have an onboard power generator and don't need fuel. They eat. AWATAR The AWATAR or ArcanoWave Activated Titan Abomination Remote, is a physically powerful abomination whose mental faculties are very limited. Designed for use with an Arcanowave Drone Port, which you must have to bye this schtick. You control this creature as a drone, and it uses your Magic attribute and Arcanowave skill with it's Creature schticks. AWATARs can accommodate a passenger/controller in a womb-like compartment. If you take this schtick, you posses such a drone. It has a Body equal to your Arcanowave and Reflexes equal to your Magic. It also has four creature schticks. These tend to be rather physical. This is the basic unit, and is about four meters tall and weight about two tons. Larger models exist. Doomwhale A flying arcanowave transport unit, similar to a bus or Armored Personnel Carrier. It can carry ten passengers in it's gullet, and passengers can see out through it's transparent belly membranes. It has a Body of 20 and is usually unarmed, but troops inside can fire arcanowave weapons out at targets below. It is possible to shoot at passengers through the membrane, but they receive four points of cover. Hell Hound The Hell Hound unit is a drone weapon unit that moves independently of you, acting on your commands. It flies at your side, ready to fight at your command. It is actually a non-sentient abomination, and when not plugged in, it follows you like a puppy. Hell Hounds are very popular with arcanowave technicians. It has a Body equal to your Arcanowave skill. It fights using a vastly amplified Blast cannon, doing damage equal to your Arcanowave skill. You must direct it, taking actions to make it act. It is much easier to motivate it to defend you, however, and will fire on anyone as they try to attack you if you spend a 1-shot defensive action. Homarcanolus A small stealth drone, this one is really a small slaved abomination. It looks like a 20 cm tall winged humanoid. When not connected to you, it has Body 2, Chi 2, Mind 3 and Reflexes 8. When connected, it uses your Magic instead of It's Mind, and can use your Arcanowave as Intrusion and Investigation. It can fly, but has no other powers. Skimmer Fish The moist common arcanowave flyer, the skimmer fish is a one-man helicopter. When linked to an AI/O port, however, it comes alive with arcanowave energy, and is nimble and deadly. It has four external manipulator limbs, and is armed with an arcanowave heavy blaster, doing Magic +6 damage. It's Body is 19 and it's Reflex is equal to the operator's Magic when plugged in, zero otherwise. It's Move is your Arcanowave skill, or 18 when disconnected. The skimmer fish deserves it's name, for it looks like some predatory fish, flying through the sky. It is depicted in Feng Shui, p 209.
