XCOM 2: 100DOS Expansion Beta Released

Added 2023-05-01 19:17:49 +0000 UTC

Hey, everyone. For those not following along in the Discord for the last few days might not see this coming. I was commissioned an XCOM 2 Splatbook and I ended up doing a lot more work to make it a proper expansion.

This expansion is to be used with the Mythic 6.0 Betas, and is fully compatible with Mythic 6.0's eventual release.

This expansion covers Character Creation, new Weapons and Equipment, four new Outliers, a new Utility Upgrade system, and a full bestiary with 22 fully realized versions of your favorite aliens (and human alien supporters) to kill!

The new Utility System is a unique addition that takes XCOM's Character Ability system and applies it to how 100DOS works. For every Experience Tier you are, you gain a Passive Upgrade slot. You spend Experience to unlock the slot of your choosing, which gives you a permanent upgrade. If your Character was Experience Tier 3, you would have 3 Utilities available to have active at a time.

Some examples of these include Deadeye, which gives "Taking a Called Shot gains +2 Damage to the first Attack made in a Turn."

Or Smash, which gives "When making Tackle and Charge Attack ACtions, the Character gains their Strength Modifier in extra Damage."

Utility is a strong addition to the system, and if GMs wish to, they can allow it in their Mythic games. Just know that a Spartan could be running around with 7 of these active.

Currently, this only covers XCOM 2, with one thing added from XCOM Enemy Within to help give players more Soldier Type options. If people wish to, they could commission an expansion to cover further XCOM Games. I would like to eventually allow this expansion to cover all of the XCOM games, at least the modern ones.
