---Introduction--The year is 2016. Earth goes about it's business - fighting, trading, building,
and more.
However, a sinister threat that has lurked behind the scenes for years,
is beginning to show it's teeth.
Entire towns abducted, brutal terror attacks, and horrific alien monsters
all pour onto the beleagured human nations.
Enter the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit - XCOM.
Founded and funded by the Council of Funding Nations (CFN),
XCOM has Earth's best soldiers, her smartest scientists and wisest engineers.
Unfortunately, XCOM can't be everywhere at once, and every unmolested alien miss
ion
takes them closer to their victory...
Welcome to the XCOM RPG, where you'll play as XCOM operatives during the Great I
nvasion.
The best of the best in their home country, thrown against alien monsters beyond
imagining.
Earth is in their hands.
Skill and luck will have to carry them through - or Earth will fall under alien
domination.
The game is 'directed' by the Commander, who functions as a GM for the game.
Unless otherwise stated, all rolls in this game are done on a D100, with lower b
eing better.
The aim is to roll under the applicable stat for the character.
IE, a Rookie shoots at an alien in low cover - his base aim is 65, minus 25 for
the low cover.
He would need to roll 45 or lower to hit.
---XCOM Campaign--The combat missions of XCOM don't happen in a vacuum.
XCOM will have it's own progression through the game, led by the Commander or a
high-ranking player.
XCOM HQ is the primary command center of XCOM, placed wherever the players want
it.
The underground fortress contains everything XCOM needs - hangars, command cente
rs, barracks,
engineering workshops and labs. XCOM also must handle funding
- the CFN provides funding every month, abduction missions and sales of alien ar
tifacts
can increase XCOM's warchest. All funding is handled in Credits.
-MissionsTo fight the alien menace, XCOM must go on missions. There are several forms of

missions.
-Abductions, where the aliens have entered an urban or farmland area to abduct h
umans.
This mission type does not contain a UFO. These missions contain rewards if comp
leted,
which may be 1-3 Engineers (+2 if the alien amount is "Swarming"),
a Scientist (Only possible on missions of "Heavy" alien amount or higher),
or 80 to 150 Credits (+70 on "Swarming").
-Landed UFOs, where an alien craft has set down in a remote area.
-Crashed UFOs, where an alien craft has been shot down by XCOM interceptors.
-Alien bases, where XCOM can take the fight to the enemy unknown.
-EXALT missions, where XCOM can fight against traitors to the human cause.
-Terror Missions, where XCOM prevents the aliens from going into a major city
and massacring civilians.
On Crashed or Landed UFOs, look to the UFO types section for how many aliens sho
uld be there.
For Abductions, consult this table. Alien numbers are handled by Pod,
a group of three to five aliens of the same or similar types, IE 4 Sectoids,
or a Muton Elite and 2 Mutons, or an Ethereal and 4 Sectopods (god help you).

Commanders should assign pod types by alien research at this point in the campai
gn.
-ResearchIn the XCOM campaign, the Commander will have to, if the players want some input
on the campaign,
give options for the players to research.
Research is done by rolling a D10 - a roll of a 1, 2, or 3 will get the players
the tech.
Otherwise, XCOM must wait a week to roll again. XCOM's research abilities can be
improved with
abduction rewards of Scientists, improving it by +1 each time, to a maximum of 1
0.
-EngineeringXCOM needs engineers to build equipment and facilities.
It starts with 10, and can gain more from Abductions.
While money alone is sufficient to build soldier items, XCOM needs certain amoun
ts of engineers
to construct some facilities.

-SatilitesEvery nation in the CFN is going to want satilite coverage.

Satilite coverage means that XCOM can see alien operations in the country,
and move against them. Satilites are EXPENSIVE, costing 200 Credits to build.
Each one XCOM puts up also costs satilite capacity, provided by Uplinks and Nexu
ses.
Nations with satilite coverage will provide 150% of their normal funding.
-Countries of the CFNXCOM has an Area of Responsibilty that encompasses all of Earth.
Unfortunately, only 16 nations have signed up to be part of the CFN, and thus,
XCOM is only allowed to operate in their borders.
While no countries will deny XCOM the right to fly aircraft through their airspa
ce,
XCOM can only effect ground operations in CFN countries.
These countries are:
Egypt (Monthly funding: 70)
Nigeria (Monthly funding: 80)
South Africa (Monthly funding: 100)
Austrailia (Monthly funding: 60)
China (Monthly funding: 100)
India (Monthly funding: 60)
Japan (Monthly funding: 100)
United Kingdom (Monthly funding: 100)
Russia (Monthly funding: 150)
France (Monthly funding: 80)
Germany (Monthly funding: 100)
Canada (Monthly funding: 100)
Mexico (Monthly funding: 50)
United States (Monthly funding: 180)
Argentina (Monthly funding: 70)
Brazil (Monthly funding: 80)
It's to the Commander's descretion if a country has to leave the CFN.
If 8 or more countries leave the CFN, the XCOM project will be shut down...
-UFO TypesSmall Scout (4 Pods)
Large Scout (6 Pods)
Overseer UFO (6 Pods, more advanced enemies.)
Abductor (8 Pods)
Supply Barge (8 Pods, all at 5 aliens)
Battleship (12 Pods, all at 5 aliens)
Alien Base (16 Pods, one pod of more advanced enemies)
Terror Mission (8 pods early game, 12 pods mid and late game)
---Characters--Soldiers, civilians, robots and aliens - all are characters. Each has a set of s
tats.
With the exception of Health and Armor, they're on a scale of 0-100,
with higher being better for the character.

When rolling against a stat, however, lower is better - they want to roll under
the stat.
In addition to this, difficult tasks or easy tasks will add a modifier to the ro
ll,
meaning that the character must roll lower to succeed (in case of a difficult ta
sk)
or can roll higher and still succeed (in case of easier tasks).
These modifiers will be left to the Commander's descretion, though the average s
ituations
for a stat will have no modifiers applied to them.
In the XCOM RPG, characters have 2 Major actions (moving, firing, reloading) and
some minor actions
(talking for example) as decided by the Commander in that instance.
-Character StatsHealth: How tough a character is. Starts at 3 for XCOM troops.
When this is zero, a soldier dies or is critically wounded. Costs 5DP to increas
e by 1.
Armor: Health added by armor, this doesn't require hospital time after the battl
e.
Starts at 0 for XCOM troops. May be acquired via equipment. This cannot be incre
ased otherwise.
Aim: Skill at firing weapons. Starts at 55 for XCOM troops. Costs 1DP to increas
e by 1.
Movement: Movement speed, in meters per action. Starts at 11 for XCOM troops.
Costs 2DP to increase by 1.
Will: Willpower, cajones, mental toughness. This is also the stat for using or r
esisting Psi powers.
Starts at 30 for XCOM troops. Costs 2DP to increase by 1.
Perception: Sight, smell, hearing. Starts at 30 for XCOM troops. Costs 1DP to in
crease by 1.
Charisma: Ability at talking and convincing others. Starts at 30 for XCOM troops
.
Costs 2DP to increase by 1.
Aliens have their stats by unit laid out in NPCs.
Note that the aliens don't care about things like charisma
- they want the destruction and perversion of humanity.
---XCOM Character Creation--To create a player character, each character gets an XCOM trooper as laid out ab
ove 3 Health, 0 Armor, 55 Aim, 11 Movement, 30 Will, 30 Perception, 30 Charisma.
Then the character is given 15 DP to spread between their stats, however they ch
oose to do so,
at the costs laid out in the prior section.
Thus, the player has a Rookie character.
They have no class yet, nor do they get any specialized abilities or equipment.
-Leveling upThe levels in XCOM are done as promotions through XP awarded at the end of a mis
sion.
A soldier starts with 0/100 XP. When the player reaches 100 XP, they level up an

d gain their class

- Support, Assault, Sniper, or Heavy.
Once a trooper chooses a class, he cannot change it,
nor can he change his abilities or stats after they're chosen.
Once a soldier chooses a class, the costs for changing their stats on level up
change from the standard ones at rookie, to a specialized set for their class.
No matter what, on level up, each soldier gets 8 DP to spend on their stats, and
a class based choice of ability. XP does not reset on levelup.
-Support ClassThey make everyone better, helping XCOM troops stay alive and fight better.

---Combat--Combat is a fundamental part of XCOM - the aliens won't just leave because you a
sked.
As such, you'll have to kill them. XCOM squads are deployed to an AO via the Sky
ranger,
which can get anywhere on Earth inside of four hours. Once deployed,
the squad has to clear the aliens out of the area. They may be scattered or in g
roups of 3-5,
called pods. Characters have 2 actions while on the battlefield
- shooting ends your turn if it's the first action (unless you have an ability t
hat says otherwise),
but can be the second with no penalties. Using items is one action,
and moving to your movement stat in meters is one action that can be done twice.
-CoverThere are two forms of cover - High and Low. High cover gives a -45 to be hit, i
f not flanked.
Low cover gives a -25 to be hit, if not flanked. Flanking the enemy, aka going a
round their cover,
denies them the protection of the cover.
-WeaponsWeapons are how you go about killing the enemy.
They have various qualities, including ammo capacity and range.
These stats are detailed in full in the Equipment section.
To find if a soldier hits an enemy, you roll against their aim, with
o hit
from enemy cover if applicable. If the shot is below this, congrats,
You roll for critical hits next. This is done on a d100 roll against
s crit stat.
If below, then you get a hit. Next, you roll for damage (crit or no)
one on a D10.
A 1 or 2 means the weapon does the lowest damage in the Damage stat
(or crit damage stat, if the shot is a critical hit).
A 9 or 10 means the weapon does the HIGHEST damage in the applicable
Otherwise, the weapon does the midpoint of those two damages.

the weapon'

field.

-Injuries and DeathWhen the health of an XCOM trooper reaches 0 health, he falls to the ground.
He then rolls a D100 to find if he's critically wounded instead of killed.
To find a soldier's critical wound chance, you take 20, then add 3 for every ran
k he has
- IE, a Sergeant has +15 from rank. Every 10 will also adds +1 to this number.
If the D100 is below the soldier's crit wound chance, then they have 3 turns to

receieve
medical attention from a trooper with a medikit. If the turns run out,
or the D100 roll is above his crit wound chance, the soldier dies.
There are no respawns.
Alien troops cannot be critically wounded.
