Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Brawl, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Simple Weapons Proficiency
Occ: Rural (Climb, Survival)
Possessions: AKM, 8 AKM magazines, knife, street clothes.
Tactics: The Generic Bad Guy Ones are basically boys with guns. They will use autofire regularly, burning ammo like it’s infinite. They tend to shun cover until one or two of their people are dead or incapacitated.
Generic Bad Guy Two
Tough Ordinary 2/Fast Ordinary 2/Dedicated Ordinary 2: CR 5; HD 2d10+2 plus 2d8+2 plus 2d6+2; HP 33; Mas 13; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 20, touch 20, flatfooted 18; BAB +3; Grap +4; Atk +4 melee (1d6+1, extendable baton), or +5 ranged (2d8, AKS-74); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL HMA; SV Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +4; Rep +1; Str 12, Dex 14, Con 13, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 8.

Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Alertness, Combat Martial Arts, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Quick Reload, Simple Weapons Proficiency
Occ: Military (Drive, Knowledge [tactics])
Possessions: AKS-74 carbine, 6 AKS-74 magazines, extendable baton, street clothes
Tactics: Generic Bad Guy Twos are very careful about protecting their assigned individual or “package.” They will use their bodies as shields and do anything necessary to protect their package. When attacking, they will mostly use autofire. They do this in hoping to keep targets off-balance and re-direct attacks away from their package.
Generic Bad Guys Three
Strong Ordinary 3/Tough Ordinary 3: CR 5; HD 3d8+6 plus 3d10+6; HP 43; Mas 14; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 16, touch 16, flatfooted 14; BAB +5; Grap +7; Atk +7 melee (1d4+2, knife), or +7 ranged (2d8, AKM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL HMA; SV Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +3; Rep +1; Str 15, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 10.

Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Brawl, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Quick Reload, Simple Weapons Proficiency
Occ: Rural (Balance, Survival)
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 8 AKM magazines, knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Generic Bad Guy Threes are aggressive fighters. They rarely withdraw, save when vastly outnumbered, as on a scale of three to one. They will push an attack forward, always seeking cover and using autofire. They will not hesitate to throw their lives away if they think doing so will tip the balance toward victory for their comrades. They are smart enough to try to capture targets alive for questioning, meaning that if they outnumber an opponent, they will put themselves at great risk to close for melee combat and attempt to disarm and incapacitate an opponent.
Generic Bad Guy Four
Fast Ordinary 4: CR 3; HD 4d8+4; HP 22; Mas 13; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 17, touch 17, flatfooted 15; BAB +3; Grap +2; Atk +2 melee (1d4-1, combat knife), or +5 ranged (2d8, AKM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL HMA; SV Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +3; Rep +1; Str 8, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 10.
Skills: Balance +5, Climb +2, Drive +4, Escape Artist +6, Hide +9, Knowledge (streetwise) +5, Move Silently +9, Ride +4, Sleight of Hand +4, Survival +6, Tumble +6
Feats: Brawl, Dodge, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Run, Simple Weapons Proficiency
Occ: Rural (Climb, Survival)
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 4 AKM magazines, combat knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Generic Bad Guy Threes are mostly interested in getting their messages through, so they will avoid combat or retreat from it at first opportunity. They are armed and are willing to use those arms, though they are not well-trained in the use of said firearms.
Generic Bad Guy Four
Strong Ordinary 2/Tough Ordinary 2/Fast Ordinary 2: CR 5; HD 2d8+2 plus 2d10+2 plus 2d8+2; HP 35; Mas 13; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 20, touch 20, flatfooted 18; BAB +4; Grap +6; Atk +6 melee (1d6+2, nightstick), or +6 ranged (2d8, AK-74); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL SIG; SV Fort +5, Ref +4, Will ; Rep +0; Str 15, Dex 14, Con 13, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 8.
Skills: Drive +3, Hide +8, Intimidate +3, Knowledge (current events) +3, Knowledge (streetwise) +5, Move Silently +8, Profession +5, Repair +5, Spot +4, Tumble +6
Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Dodge, Double Tap, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Simple Weapons Proficiency
Occ: Military (Hide, Move Silently)
Possessions: AK-74 assault rifle, 6 AK-74 magazines, BDUs, nightstick
Tactics: Most Generic Bad Guy Fours have had combat experience. What they have not had is extensive training. They know enough to use double tap on most opponents. If facing a superior force, they will attempt to make a fighting withdrawal, spraying and praying with autofire.
Generic Bad Guy Five
Fast Ordinary 3/Tough Ordinary 3: CR 5; HD 3d8+6 plus 3d10+6; HP 43; Mas 14; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 18, touch 18, flatfooted 16; BAB +4; Grap +5; Atk +5 melee (1d4+1, combat knife), or +6 ranged (2d8, AKM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL HMA; SV Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +3; AP 0; Rep +2; Str 13, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 8.
Skills: Balance +5, Drive +5, Escape Artist +5, Gamble +4, Hide +10, Intimidate +3, Knowledge (streetwise) +5, Move Silently +10, Sleight of Hand +4, Spot +3, Tumble +4
Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Brawl, Dodge, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Stealthy
Occ: Criminal (Gamble, Knowledge [streetwise])
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 4 AKM magazines, combat knife, street clothes, moped
Tactics: Generic Bad Guy Fives aren’t particularly well-versed in combat techniques. Due to their intelligence-gathering capacity, they have been ordered to avoid conflict. They have, however, been well-armed with AKMs. In truth, most are itching for a chance to prove themselves. In combat, they will rely on autofire for the first two magazines. With those expended, they will begin to see the benefits of semi-automatic fire and will be more conservative with ammunition consumption. They will always use cover and will attempt to keep moving, either toward the enemy if they outnumber the enemy, or away if the enemy outnumbers them.
Generic Bad Guy Six
Tough Ordinary 3/Strong Ordinary 3: CR 5; HD 3d10+6 plus 3d8+6; HP 43; Mas 15; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 16, touch 16, flatfooted 14; BAB +5; Grap +6; Atk +6 melee (1d4+1, combat knife), or +7 ranged (2d8, AKM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL HMA; SV Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +3; Rep +1; Str 13, Dex 14, Con 15, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 8.
Skills: Hide +11, Intimidate +3, Knowledge (streetwise) +3, Listen +3, Move Silently +11, Spot +9
Feats: Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Alertness, Combat Martial Arts, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Stealthy
Occ: Criminal (Hide, Move Silently)
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 4 AKM magazines, combat knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Generic Bad Guys Sixes will use autofire often, adhering to the ‘spray and pray’ school of combat. When they start to run low on ammo, they will be a little more careful, but still tend to be nervous. The amount of lead autofire puts down soothes their nerves.

Possessions: AKS-74U short assault rifle, 4 AKS-74U magazines, Browning Hi-Power, 2 HP magazines, combat knife, 2 fragmentation grenades, overcoat, street clothes.
Tactics: While a trained and experienced combatant, Villain One will not enter into combat willingly but will seek to escape. His first inclination is to flee and seek help. If forced to fight, he will use mainly autofire while making a fighting withdrawal. He will fight defensively, using his move action to attempt to escape combat.
Villain Two
Smart Hero 4/ Charismatic Hero 4/Dedicated Hero 2: CR 10; 48-year old Male; HD 4d6+4 and 4d6+4 and 2d6+2; hp 55; MAS 12; Init +4; Spd 30 ft.; Def 14, touch 14, flatfooted 14; BAB +5; Grap +4; Atk +4 melee (1d4-1, combat knife), or +5 ranged (2d4, Skorpion Machine Pistol); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +6 AP 5; Rep +6; Str 9, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 15.

Talents (Charismatic Hero): Coordinate, Inspiration
Talents (Dedicated Hero): Skill Emphasis (Bluff)
Occ: White Collar (Knowledge [business], Knowledge [physical science])
Possessions: Skorpion Machine Pistol, 2 Skorpion magazines, combat knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Villain Two is not much of a fighter. If forced, he will autofire with his Skorpion while trying to make an escape. He considers survival his paramount goal, so surrender is always an option. He leads from the rear, always keeping an escape route open. He is more than willing to shoot an opponent in the back or do anything else that will give him an edge.
Villain Three
Tough Hero 2/ Strong Hero 3/ Dedicated Hero 2: CR 7; 41-year old Male; HD 2d10+4 and 3d8+6 and 2d6+4; hp 52; MAS 15; Init +2; Spd 30 ft.; Def 18, touch 18, flatfooted 16; BAB +5; Grap +7; Atk +7 melee (knife 1d4+3), or +7 ranged (2d8, AKM); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +8, Ref +2 Will +3; AP 3; Rep +1; Str 14, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 8.
Skills: Intimidate +5, Knowledge (streetwise) +9, Listen +5; Move Silently +4, Repair +5, Sense Motive 5; Spot +10, Speak Languages (Tajik), Survival +7
Feats: Advanced Firearm Proficiency, Brawl, Far Shot, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Streetfighting.
Talents (Tough Hero): Remain Conscious
Talents (Strong Hero): Extreme Effort, Melee Smash
Talents (Dedicated Hero): Skill Emphasis (Spot)
Occ: Criminal (Knowledge [streetwise], Move Silently)
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 8 AKM magazines, combat knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Villain Three’s first priority in combat will be to protect Villain Five. He will attempt to remove Villain Five from danger. If Villain Five is not involved, Villain Three will take some time to gauge his opponent(s). He is an experienced combatant and will be able to judge if he is outclassed. If he finds himself outnumbered or fighting superior opponents, he will make a fighting withdrawal, remaining defensive until out of combat.
Villain Three loves autofire. He is likely to use it even against a single opponent if he has plenty of ammunition. If he is low on ammunition, or he has expended more than half his current magazine, he will control his desire to autofire unless he faces multiple opponents and autofire would be useful.
Villain Four
3 Dedicated Hero/2 Smart Hero/3 Tough Hero: CR 8; 44-year old Male; HD 3d6+3 and 2d6+2 and 3d10+3; hp 43; MAS 12; Init -1; Spd 30 ft.; Def 16, touch 16, flatfooted 16; BAB +5; Grap +5; Atk +5 melee (1d4, combat knife), or +5 ranged (2d8, Desert Eagle); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +8; AP 4; Rep +4; Str 10, Dex 9, Con 12, Int 13, Wis 15, Cha 16.

Feats: Alertness, Attentive, Combat Martial Arts, Defensive Martial Arts, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Point Blank Shot, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Weapon Focus (Desert Eagle)
Talents (Dedicated Hero): Empathy, Skill Emphasis (Sense Motive)
Talents (Smart Hero): Savant (Knowledge [business])
Talents (Tough Hero): Damage Reduction 1/—, Robust
Occ: White Collar (Diplomacy, Knowledge [business])
Possessions: Street clothes, Desert Eagle pistol, 3 Desert Eagle magazines
Tactics: Villain Four is not a trained combatant, and it shows. He has lived among dangerous men, but he has never become one himself. He carries a Desert Eagle because he saw one carried by a particularly dangerous and competent thug in a recent British action-comedy movie. He has never used it, save for target practice. In a fight, he’ll try to escape and summon help. If backed into a corner, he’ll fight hard, but he won’t fight to the death. Surrender is an option if he believes he’ll receive fair treatment. He does not expect fair treatment from the SIG or SSP, but he does trust that the Europeans won’t torture him.
Villain Five
5 Smart Hero/3 Dedicated Hero/2 Tough Hero: CR 10; 46-year old Male; HD 5d6 and 3d6 and 2d10; hp 41; MAS 10; Init +5; Spd 30 ft.; Def 15, touch 15, flatfooted 14; BAB +4; Grap +3; Atk +3 melee (1d6-1, cane/club), or +5 ranged (2d4, Walther PPK); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +8; AP 5; Rep +4; Str 9, Dex 12, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 16, Cha 15.
Skills: Bluff +6, Computer Use +9, Craft (electronic) +5, Craft (mechanical) +6, Craft (structural) +6, Decipher Script +10, Demolitions +9, Disable Device +8, Forgery +8, Intimidate +8, Knowledge (business) +16, Knowledge (civics) +11, Knowledge (current events) +11, Knowledge (popular culture) +5, Knowledge (streetwise) +12, Knowledge (tactics) +7, Listen +13, Profession +8, Read/Write Language (Arabic, English, Russian, and Tajik), Repair +10, Research +11, Search +5, Sense Motive +11, Speak Language (Arabic, English, Russian, and Tajik), Spot +15, Survival +7.

Talents (Dedicated Hero): Aware, Skill Emphasis (Sense Motive)
Talents (Tough Hero): Robust
Occ: Entrepreneur (Bluff, Knowledge [business])
Possessions: Walther PPK, 2 PPK magazines, street clothes, walking stick/cane
Tactics: While Villain Five has lived among dangerous company in his life, he is not particularly dangerous himself. In any fight, he will attempt to escape. Surrender, for the most part, is not an option as that could lead to questioning and Villain Five fears he might reveal information, even inadvertently. While he will attempt to flee, if he cannot, he will fight to the death. If a better weapon is available, he will take it. While he only carries a PPK, that is for concealment and as an affectation. In a stand-up fight, he would prefer something heavier in his hand, like an AKM.
Villain Six
Smart Hero 3/Tough Hero 4/Soldier 5: CR 12; 51-year old Male; HD 3d6+9 and 4d10+12 and 5d10+15; hp 99; MAS 16; Init +1; Spd 30 ft.; Def 21, touch 18, flatfooted 20; BAB +7; Grap +7; Atk +7 melee (1d6, rifle butt), or +7 melee (1d4, combat knife), or +8 ranged (2d8, AKS-74); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +9, Ref +6, Will +6, AP 6; Rep +3; Str 10, Dex 13, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 14 Cha 15.

Possessions: AKS-74 carbine, 4 AKS-74 magazines, BDUs, combat knife, undercover vest armor
Tactics: Villain Six has lived the life of a spy, an investigator and a soldier. He will keep a cool head. If outnumbered or simply outfought, he will attempt to disengage and retreat to safety. He will make a withdrawal fighting defensively. He will seek help and return with superior numbers.
In combat, he will use autofire if faced with multiple opponents. He will use double tap on any leader or exceptionally dangerous opponent. He will always fight from cover and will not lead from the front. He is not afraid to engage in fisticuffs, and will use his carbine as a melee weapon in the heat of battle.
Villain Seven
Tough Hero 2/ Strong Hero 3/ Fast Hero 2: CR 7; 32-year old Male; HD 2d10+4 and 5d8+10; hp 54; MAS 15; Init +2; Spd 30 ft.; Def 20, touch 20, flatfooted 18; BAB +5; Grap +7; Atk +7 melee (knife 1d4+3), or +7 ranged (2d8, AKM) , or +7 ranged (2d6, PM); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +1; AP 3; Rep +0; Str 14, Dex 14, Con 15, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha 8.
Skills: Craft (structural) +4, Hide +8, Intimidate +7, Knowledge (streetwise) +9, Move Silently +8, Repair +7, Spot +5, Sleight of Hand +4, Speak Languages (Tajik), Tumble +6

Talents (Fast Hero): Evasion
Occ: Criminal (Knowledge [streetwise], Sleight of Hand)
Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 6 AKM magazines, Makarov PM, 2 PM magazines, combat knife, street clothes.
Tactics: Villain Seven is an experienced and cunning combatant. He will use autofire when facing tightly packed groups. When he has identified the leader, he will use double tap in an attempt to eliminate that individual. He will seek cover and will always attempt to attack with surprise. When numbers are overwhelming, he will fall back, but he has a weakness in that he considers himself an extremely capable fighter, so he is unlikely to fall back when only facing one or two opponents.
Villain Seven will never surrender. He fears he might crack under interrogation.
Villain Eight
Dedicated Ordinary 2/Strong Ordinary 2: CR 3; 45-year old Male; Medium-size Human; HD 2d6+2 plus 2d8+2; HP 20; Mas 13; Init -1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 13, touch 13, flatfooted 14; BAB +3; Grap +3; Atk +3 melee (1d6, rifle butt), or +3 melee (1d4, combat knife) or +2 ranged (2d8, AKS-74); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL SIG rogue faction; SV Fort +5, Ref -1, Will +4; Rep +1; Str 10, Dex 8, Con 13, Int 12, Wis 15, Cha 14.

Occ: Law Enforcement (Gather Information, Intimidate)
Possessions: AKS-74 carbine, 4 AKS-74 magazines, BDUs, combat knife
Tactics: Villain Eight is brave and he is a capable intelligence officer, but he is not much of a soldier. His weapon is for intimidation, not use. If it comes down to it, he will rely mostly on autofire. If unsupported by strong allies, he will make a fighting withdrawal, moving at the beginning of each round then autofiring.
Villain Nine
Dedicated Ordinary 2/Fast Ordinary 2/Strong Ordinary 2: CR 5; 36-year old Male; Medium-size humanoid; HD 2d6+-2 plus 2d8+-2 plus 2d8+-2; HP 19; Mas 8; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 20, touch 20, flatfooted 18; BAB +4; Grap +5; Atk +5 melee (1d6+1, rifle butt), or +5 melee (1d4+1, combat knife) or +6 ranged (2d8, AKS-74); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL SIG rogue faction; SV Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +4; Rep +1; Str 13, Dex 14, Con 8, Int 12, Wis 15, Cha 10.

Occ: Military (Hide, Knowledge [tactics])
Possessions: AKS-74 carbine, 4 AKS-74 magazines, BDUs, combat knife
Tactics: Villain Nine is a canny fighter. He will use cover as much as possible. When attacking, he will double tap anyone within 4 range increments. If outnumbered, he will attempt a fighting withdrawal, always moving from one place of cover or concealment to another, turning and autofiring to keep his opponents off-balance.
Villain One Half
Dedicated Ordinary 1/Charismatic Ordinary 1: CR 1; 55-year old Female; HD 1d6-1 plus 1d6-1; HP 6; Mas 8; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 12, touch 12, flatfooted 11; BAB +0; Grap +0; Atk +0 melee (1d3, fists), or +-3 ranged (1d4, improvised weapon); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL Bad Guy Group; SV Fort +1, Ref +2, Will +3; Rep +4; Str 10, Dex 12, Con 8, Int 13, Wis 15, Cha 14.

Possessions: AKM assault rifle, 6 AKM magazines, combat knife, M1911A1, 2 M1911A1 magazines, worn clothing.

He loves his autofire and this is his preferred mode of attack. He will lead from the front, but will not open himself to attack unnecessarily.

Occ: Entrepreneur (Bluff, Diplomacy)
Possessions: business casual street clothes, cell phone, day-planner, wallet with money, ID and credit cards.
Tactics: The Guide won’t fight unless it is his last option. He’s more likely to talk his way out of a fight, which he has done regularly. He’s not a coward or fearful man, but he understands that getting into a fight is unlikely to profit him in any way.
Driver
Tough Ordinary 3: CR 2; 41-year old Male; HD 3d10; HP 17; Mas 10; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 14, touch 14, flatfooted 12; BAB +2; Grap +4; Atk +4 melee (1d3+2, unarmed), or +0 ranged (1d4, improvised weapon); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL Employer; SV Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +2; Rep +1; Str 14, Dex 15, Con 10, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 13.

Feats: Brawl, Dodge, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Vehicle Expert
Occ: Blue Collar (Craft [mechanical], Drive, Repair)
Possessions: cell phone, day-planner, street clothes, wallet with money and ID.
Tactics: While the Driver is not the type to look for a fight, if it’s simply fisticuffs, he won’t back away. If there are guns, knives or even just clubs involved, the Driver will follow his cousin’s example and steer clear if at all possible. He won’t stand by and see his fares or clients threatened or harassed. He’ll try to get them out of danger first, secondly he’ll try to defuse the situation and as a last resort, he’ll stand alongside his clients against aggressors.
Chief of Police
Dedicated Ordinary 2/Tough Ordinary 2/Charismatic Ordinary 1: CR 4; 53-year old Male; HD 2d6+-2 plus 2d10+-2 plus 1d6+-1; HP 17; Mas 8; Init +2; Spd 30 ft; Defense 16, touch 16, flatfooted 14; BAB +2; Grap +2; Atk +2 melee (1d6, club), or +4 ranged (2d6, Makarov PM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL City Government; SV Fort +4, Ref +3, Will +4; Rep +3; Str 10, Dex 14, Con 8, Int 12, Wis 15, Cha 13.

Feats: Alertness, Attentive, Personal Firearms Proficiency, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Trustworthy
Occ: Law Enforcement (Gather Information, Intimidate)
Possessions: Makarov PM, uniform
Tactics: While his days of fighting are long since past, if cornered, the Chief of Police will draw his trusty old Makarov. He really isn’t interested in melee combat and so his philosophy is that any fight can easily become a gun fight.
Reporter
Charismatic Ordinary 2/Smart Ordinary 2: CR 3; 36-year old Male; HD 2d6 plus 2d6; HP 14; Mas 10; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 13, touch 13, flatfooted 12; BAB +2; Grap +1; Atk +1 melee (1d3-1, unarmed), or -1 ranged (1d4, improvised weapon); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL News Media; SV Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +3; Rep +3; Str 8, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 15.

Occ: Investigative (Gather Information, Knowledge [Streetwise])
Possessions: business casual street clothes, camera, cell phone, day-planner, hand-held cassette recorder, wallet with money, ID and credit cards.
Tactics: The Reporter will run if he can, surrender if he cannot. He’ll only fight to save his life, if he is absolutely certain he’s about to be killed. Other than that, he’s a reporter, not a fighter.
Hotelier
Charismatic Ordinary 2: CR 1; 40-year old Female; HD 2d6; HP 7; Mas 10; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 12, touch 12, flatfooted 11; BAB +1; Grap +0; Atk -4 melee (1d4-1, improvised weapon), or -2 ranged (2d4, PPK); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL Family; SV Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +1; Rep +3; Str 8, Dex 12, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 13, Cha 15.

Occ: Entrepreneur (Diplomacy, Knowledge [Business])
Possessions: business attire, purse, wallet (including identity card, driver’s license, residency card, Walther PPK, and 250,000 dinars).
Tactics: While the Hotelier carries a PPK, she carries it for its deterrent factor. She has only practiced with it a couple of times and if it became necessary to use it, she certainly isn’t capable with it. Further, she is not ready for or interested in combat. She will attempt to flee any combat and call for assistance. In the Blue Zone, almost all the PMCs know her as do the SIG troops in the area. She has cultivated connections with these groups specifically for the time when trouble comes.
Proprietor
Dedicated Ordinary 2: CR 1; 42-year old Male; HD 2d6-2; HP 5; Mas 8; Init +0; Spd 30 ft; Defense 12, touch 12, flatfooted 12; BAB +1; Grap +2; Atk +2 melee (1d3+1, unarmed), or -3 ranged (1d4, improvised weapon); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL Family; SV Fort +1, Ref +0, Will +4; Rep +2; Str 12, Dex 10, Con 8, Int 15, Wis 14, Cha 13.

Feats: Heroic Surge, Simple Weapons Proficiency, Trustworthy
Occ: Entrepreneur (Bluff, Diplomacy)
Possessions: business attire, wallet (including identity card, driver’s license, residency card and 250,000 dinars).
Tactics: The Proprietor is not much of a fighter. He will certainly engage in fisticuffs if pushed, but that is not his style. He will attempt to talk his way out of any confrontation. He is not above fleeing and calling for assistance. If faced with firearms, he will meekly surrender unless a chance for escape presents itself.
Disgruntled Cop
Strong Ordinary 1/Tough Ordinary 1: CR 1; 38-year old Male; HD 1d8+2 plus 1d10+2; HP 15; Mas 15; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; Defense 13, touch 13, flatfooted 12; BAB +1; Grap +3; Atk +3 melee (1d6+2, nightstick), or +2 ranged (2d6, Makarov PM); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; AL Khorforjan Police Force; SV Fort +4, Ref +1, Will -1; Rep ; Str 14, Dex 13, Con 15, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 12.

Occ: Law Enforcement (Intimidate, Knowledge [Streetwise])
Possessions: Makarov PM, 4 PM magazines, nightstick, police uniform, tactical radio
Tactics: Apparently, his tactics consist of drinking most of the day, then driving by and throwing a grenade. If he makes an Intelligence check against DC 10, he’ll remember to pull the pin.

Tactics: The CO will never be in a position in which he will engage in combat alone. If he does find himself in a firefight, he’ll snatch up an L85A2 if one is handy. If not, he’ll Double Tap with his trusty HP. With an L85A2, he’ll act in a support capacity, using autofire to keep the enemy off-balance.
Officer In Charge, Security

Tactics: OIC Security would like to lead from the front, but he knows that is no longer his job. If in conflict, he will direct combat and liaise with command. He is not gung-ho and if things get too hairy, he will be ready to pull his team out. He is not squeamish though, and if a fight erupts, he’ll use everything at his disposable to insure the Military Unit comes out on top.
If forced into combat, he’ll Double Tap opponents. He will also be ready to lend assistance to any fallen troops.

If he notes a concentration of enemy, he’ll spray off a couple of autofires.

Tactics: Unless in an extremely untenable position, most Marine Veterans will keep their cool and place their shots prudently. They will conserve their ammunition, pick their targets carefully while using any cover offered. They fight as a team, attempting to maintain battlefield awareness. When faced with a nice, tight pack of targets, autofire is a lovely option. If they need to shake things up a bit, there’s always a grenade.

Tactics: The Spec Ops Captain tends to use burst-fire often. He will always target the leader of any group of opponents. He uses whatever cover is available and prefers to keep moving. He does not like to provide a stationary target. If faced with a large number of tightly grouped opponents, the Spec Ops Captain might use autofire, but he is much more likely to thin out the crowd with a couple of burst-fire attacks. Sloane is always aware of his allies and will not leave anyone behind. He will protect a wounded comrade and remove that individual from danger if there is no other help available. More commonly, the Spec Ops Captain will provide covering fire while the Spec Ops Medic administers first aid.

If undercover and using his HK53, the Spec Ops Medic will always double-tap targets. If an ally or innocent is wounded during combat, the Spec Ops Medic will immediately move to administer first aid. His team knows enough to provide him cover and protection in such an instance.

Tactics: The Spec Ops Engineer prefers to engage targets at extreme distances. Any target beyond 4 range increments, the Spec Ops Engineer will double tap. If the targets are closely-packed, he is likely to use his M203. The Spec Ops Engineer will use burst fire on targets at or within 4 range increments. He usually acts as a spotter for the Spec Ops Medic, so will check his fire in accordance with the Spec Ops Medic’s needs. Once the Spec Ops Medic has switched to his sidearm, the Spec Ops Engineer will take a more active role, attempting to block attacks. Further, at any point that the Spec Ops Medic moves to administer medical aid, the Spec Ops Engineer will provide covering fire and will, if no other cover exists, shield the patient and the Spec Ops Medic with his own body.

He’ll engage targets beyond 5 range increments with Double Tap. Those at or within 5 range increments, he’ll use Burst Fire. If the targets are tightly packed, he’ll use autofire. He knows enough to withdraw when outclassed or outnumbered. He leads from the front and is the last man out of a fight.
Personal Equipment
Satcom: This is a man-portable satellite communications terminal. In order to contact a satellite, that satellite must be in line-of-sight, meaning the satcom cannot communicate with a satellite that is beyond the horizon. Most satcom terminals can be used as computer modems and have encryption capabilities. An example of a satcom would be the AN/PRC 137F Satellite Communications Terminal.
Squad Radio: This is a man-portable radio used for long-range communications, such as with the unit’s base. The squad radio is also used to communicate with other units and vehicles when on a joint operation. Most squad radios can be used as computer modems and have encryption capabilities. The effective range is up to 35 miles, but the normal range in less than ideal conditions is 20 miles. Examples of squad radios would include the UK/PRC-320 and the AN/PRC 119 Single-Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System.
Squad Radio with Satcom: This is a squad radio that has satcom capabilities. This unit performs as do satcoms and squad radios. An example of a squad radio with satcom would be the ANPRC-117F.
Tactical Radio: This is a man-portable radio used for short-range communication between members of the same unit. In most situations, every member of a unit will have a tactical radio, which keeps all members connected. The effective range is up to 2 miles. Examples of tactical radios include the UK/PRC-349 and the SABER series of radios.

Vehicles
Armored Sedan: This vehicle represents the type of secretly armored vehicle used by Captain David Sloane in Khorforjan. While appearing to be a luxury sedan of a type manufactured in Europe, its engine has been modified and its body has been armored.
Armored Suburban: This is the sport utility vehicle used by the PMCs. Unlike the standard SUV, this vehicle is armored to withstand small arms fire. It does not offer the protection of an armored personnel carrier or even an up-armored HMMWV, but increases survivability of its occupants. It is a four-door truck, two squares wide and four squares long.

Skills and Feats
Adopt Identity
When working in a covert capacity, you regularly assume a false identity. Often, the false identity is of an individual with a professional background, such as a reporter, travel writer or aid worker. You have become adept at answering questions relating to the occupation of the cover.
Prerequisite: Int 13+
Benefit: The character can glibly answer most questions relating to the profession of the adopted identity. For extremely specific or arcane questions (the natural habitat for a species of rare bird, the assistant foreign news editor of a certain newspaper), the character applies +4 to all Bluff checks regarding the answers offered. The character has either guessed correctly or is able to persuade the questioner that the questioner's information is false.
Special: If the character has a Knowledge or Craft skill that relates to the adopted identity, and he/she uses that skill to answer a question. If he/she fails his/her skill check, a Bluff check can still be made using the bonus for Adopt Identity. Also, for each Knowledge, Craft or Profession skill which relates to the adopted identity, the character can add an additional +1 to the bonus granted by Adopt Identity.
Communications
You know how to use communications equipment effectively, and you know how not to use it. You understand all about special frequencies, encryption and avoidance of detection.
Prerequisites: Computer Use 4 ranks
Benefit: A character with this feat can use communications equipment never studied or seen previously without instruction with a successful Computer Use skill check against DC 10. A character can attempt a Computer Use skill check (against DC 20) to properly use communications equipment even when the character cannot read the language of the equipment.
A character with the Communications feat is also knowledgeable regarding direction finding (DF) equipment, used to discover the direction a signal originates from or—when using groups of DF equipment and triangulating—the position of the source. Due to this knowledge, a character can either use DF equipment to track a signal or avoid detection with an opposed Computer Use skill check. At the very least, the character will be aware that the signals can lead opposition to the position from which the communications originate.
Jamming and eavesdropping are common problems when using communications equipment in a conflict environment. A character with the Communications feat can jam or eavesdrop—if the proper equipment is available—or avoid the same with a successful opposed Computer Use skill check.
Normal: A character without the Communications feat suffers a -4 penalty when attempting to use communications equipment without training or when attempting or evading DF, eavesdropping, or jamming.
Face In A Crowd
When on a covert mission, you easily blend into different cultures. You have an uncanny ability to disappear in a crowd and to make yourself innocuous.
Prerequisite: Hide 4 ranks, Knowledge (streetwise) 4 ranks
Benefit: The character can hide among other people, even when the character's dress or appearance would usually preclude this. If the character is being actively sought by another, the character can make a Hide check at +2 as long as there are at least 10 other people within 30 ft of the character.
Special: If there are no other people around, but the character is in a public area, such as a market, café or restaurant, the character can make a Hide check without the bonus.
Organizations
Holy Motherland Albenistan (HMA)
Summary: Holy Motherland Albenistan is a young, very loosely organized group of extremist nationalist movements. The HMA itself is small, merely a core of dedicated men — there are no women in the HMA — led by a shadowy individual known as Abbas. This small group acts as liaison and umbrella for a disparate collection of extremists, drug-smugglers and terrorists. Its power in Albenistan has increased due to an alliance with an anti-government conspiracy that includes individuals from the State Security Police, the Security and Intelligence Group and the military.
From the anti-government conspiracy, the HMA have gained financial support as well as access to intelligence and equipment. The drug-smugglers and warlords of the area that borders Afghanistan have some idea of the HMA’s contacts within the government, but Abbas has insured that HMA’s connections with the Security and Intelligence Group remain cloaked in secrecy. While the HMA has stated that they aim to remove the elected government of Albenistan and install a conservative theocracy, those conspirators allied with the HMA have made no secret of their intention to replace the elected government with a military regime. Each group has made clear that their alliance is temporary and it is likely that if the elected government of Albenistan falls, these two groups will turn to fighting each other.
Hierarchy: The groups operating under the HMA’s umbrella include tribal leaders, criminals, and extreme nationalists. There has been some speculation that, along with anti-government conspirators, the HMA may have ties to some of the legal political parties in the Albenistani government, but no proof of any such relationship exists.
For the most part, the HMA maintains a cell structure. Each cell operates independently, having no contact with other cells. The leader of each cell has limited contact to a higher level of command as well as to a lower level to which the leader will pass orders and receive intelligence. In the region bordering Afghanistan, which includes the Autonomous Province of Qurghon Khujand, the HMA is active in an overt manner, signing agreements with various warlords and drug gangs. In this area, the HMA is structured in a military manner, with uniforms, ranks and military discipline. Training camps for extremists allied to the HMA are maintained in Qurghon Khujand.
NATO Special Actions Group (SAG)
The Special Actions Group (SAG) is a fictional Department 7.
Summary: The NATO Special Actions Group is the umbrella organization within NATO’s Combined Military Intelligence Directorate (CMID). The SAG controls small, temporary units raised jointly from the forces of member nations. These units are termed Detached Teams. Detached Teams are created for a specific mission and then disbanded upon completion of that mission. Along with the SAG, the sections of the CMID include Personnel (Department One or simply D-1), Intelligence (D-2), Operations (D-3), Logistics (D-4), Liaison (D-5), and Signals (D-6). When activated, the SAG is technically Department 7 of the CMID.
Mission Profile: The SAG is responsible for covert surveillance, long-range reconnaissance, unconventional warfare and direct action. In peacetime, the SAG offers the members of NATO covert paramilitary capabilities for missions within hostile territory. Recently, the SAG has been tasked to anti-terrorism operations. Detached Teams can be sent into denied areas to monitor or strike at terrorist assets and personnel. SAG Detached Teams have been reported to have trained indigenous elements in areas controlled by dangerous regimes. Detached Teams may also have been involved in the elimination of certain leaders of extreme nationalist and terrorists groups.
Capable of extended independent action, SAG Detached Teams can be tasked to deep infiltration for forward observation, tactical air control, interdiction, long-range reconnaissance or direct action, which could include the elimination of enemy assets or personnel. SAG Detached Teams are capable of infiltration by land, sea or air. Available equipment includes fixed and rotary wing aircraft, swimmer delivery vehicles and light utility vehicles.
Organization: A member nation of NATO must request the activation of a Detached Team. The request is made to D-5. Mission planning is done by D-2 in cooperation with the requesting force or government. The command component of a team is functionally attached to D-3 for the duration of the mission, while the remainder of the team is attached to D-1. Personnel are requested by the command component and participation is voluntary. The command component must obtain the permission of the governments of any individual requested if that individual volunteers to participate. Personnel are returned to their parents units with the completion of a mission.
SIS Increment
Summary: The UK's Secret Intelligence Service does not have the integral assets to undertake direct action in denied or hostile territory. As such, the SIS has created a special organization, similar to the CIA's Special Activities Division, known as the Increment. Staffed by seconded operators from the Special Forces Group, the Increment offers the SIS a potent force multiplier as well an opportunity to undertake paramilitary operations that otherwise would have necessitated the tasking of a military special operations force.
The government of the UK has yet to confirm the existence of the Increment, but it has been mentioned in both media and official government documents. Shadowy beyond even the Special Air Service or Special Boat Service, the Increment has the blackest of budgets. Deploying the SAS or SBS carries the same responsibility for politicians and bureaucrats as deploying any other military unit. The Increment, however, is unknown, unseen and deniable. Further, the Intelligence Services Act of 1994 protects its operators from prosecution in the UK for actions in foreign countries.
Mission Profile: Teams from the Increment are available for almost any operation in which deniability is essential. Not spies, the operators seconded for missions are highly trained for direct action and unconventional warfare operations. The SIS has plenty of intelligence gathering assets, so unless the mission is deep within an extremely hostile or otherwise dangerous area, it is highly unlikely an Increment team would ever be tasked to any type of reconnaissance mission.
The operations that have netted the Increment the greatest amount of notice have been direct action missions, both in the Balkans and in Afghanistan. It is reported that an Increment team operated in the former Yugoslavia, hunting down and killing war criminals. In Afghanistan, the elimination of key Taliban personnel has been attributed in certain sectors to the Increment, though the SAS or SBS could have completed such a mission.
More commonly, reports from Afghanistan alleged very small Increment teams acted in the same manner as the CIA's Special Activities Division staff, that being the training and support of the Northern Alliance troops who overthrew the Taliban. Increment operators had previously been reported in northern Iraq supporting the Kurds against Saddam Hussein's regime.
Organization: The Increment is not a standing unit with regular personnel. Activated for specific missions, an Increment team is comprised of operators temporarily seconded from the units of the Special Forces Group. When the need for deniability is extreme, outside contractors — usually ex-SAS or SBS operators — can be used.
There is no standard structure for an Increment team. When operating in the Balkans, the teams seemed to be comprised similar to the 4-man patrol structure common to the SAS. In Afghanistan, though, Increment teams tended to be extremely small, often 2-man groups, if reports are to be believed. A team is as large as is necessary, but never large enough to attract attention.
