Equipment
SWARM troopers come equipped with the following: A Hornet rifle with 2 gas grenades and 2 arson grenades, 4 Stingers, 2 Shock Daggers each with 3 charges, 3 Daylight flares, and 1 "Danger" flare.
"Hornet" - 2-handed Firearm
Medium 2d4+1 ballistic 19-20/x2; 150ft RI; Auto, Burst 3
Though it's damage is low, a hornet rifle does have effectively unlimited ammunition. It has three settings, single fire, 3 round burst, and full-auto. The standard SWARM trooper version comes equipped with a grenade launcher, which has a range increment of 50 feet, and can be set to automatically detonate launched grenades at any distance within the first two range increments.
"Stinger" - Light Martial Weapon
Until activated, a Stinger functions as a short sword with the fragile quality that deals damage as if it were one size smaller (medium 1d4 slashing 19-20/x2). With a flick of the wrist and squeeze of the trigger (as drawing a weapon), the blade ignites, changing the weapon's damage to 4d6 fire damage, which ignores half of its target's fire resistance or immunity (if any), and all hardness.
After 3 rounds, the blade has lost most of its mass, and instead deals only 2d6 fire damage, does not ignore fire resistance or immunity, nor hardness.
After 5 rounds, the blade has burnt out completely and is rendered useless.
Shock Dagger - Light Martial Weapon
(Medium 1d4 slashing 18-20/x2; fragile)
Made from a copper alloy close enough in properties to steel for its purpose, a shock dagger holds a interesting surprise. Within the hilt is a battery capable of dealing an impressive shock; this battery holds 3 charges, which may be spent on a successful attack with the shock dagger. Spending a charge causes the attack to deal +1d8+1 electricity damage, and the target must succeed on a DC11 fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round. A target wearing significant amounts of metal armor is only subject to the electricity damage (and fortitude save) on a critical hit.
Gas Grenade: End of round, 2d4 poison each round for 5 rounds in 20ft spread (increases by 5ft each round), suffocation while in range.
Arson Grenade: End of round, 5d6 fire in 20ft burst, ignites flammables.
Daylight Flare: When set, sheds blinding light within 10 feet, bright light 50 feet after that, and dim light 50 feet after that. Lasts for 10 minutes.
Danger Flare: When set, sheds a bright red light for 30 feet, which is visible with darkvision for up to 500 feet.
