Classes

There are four classes in Asynchronous RPG, each starts with Health, Miasma, and a weapon. Each also has a set of special abilities and a power exclusive to the class. 

Drones

There are three types of drones:

Combat Drone: 

4 health

Activate to deal 2 ranged damage to a target. 

Defender Drone: 

6 health. 

Activate to apply the Guarded condition to any PC or NPC (but not other drones) 

Guarded can be reassigned with an additional activation. 

Med Drone: 

4 health. 

Activate to heal any character or NPC up to the drones current health. 

The drone is destroyed. 

A Tek manages their drones through the use of charges. 

You can use a charge to…

• Deploy a drone (maximum of three drones, can have multiple of the same type of drone)

• Activate a drone

• Destroy a drone

You get charges from…

• Autonomous: the Tek passive ability provides two drone charges each turn. 

• Operate: the Tek special ability provides one charge and requires an action. Can be used multiple times per turn. 

• Surge: the Tek exclusive power provides one charge and costs one miasma. Can only be used 1/turn like all powers.

Drones in combat:

• Can only be deployed in combat but persist between combat encounters in the same mission.

• Each drone can be activated once per turn. 

• Combat drones automatically hit, they don’t require an attack roll. 

• Unused charges go away at the end of each turn

• Drones are destroyed when their health reaches 0

Pre-Generated Builds

Want a quick build to get started? We got you covered. 

Strategy: Use actions to use Enervate to debuff the damage of particularly dangerous foes if they are likely to survive to the GM turn. Otherwise use your actions to either defeat enemies or knock their health down low enough to be defeated by allies. 

Spend miasma to activate powers. You have a party heal, enemy stun, and a direct damage power which is not considered an attack and therefore skirts conditions like Guarded and Evasive. Scourge triggers every time you use a miasma and deals 1 direct damage. 

Strategy: Make bow attacks using both actions which triggers a third attack due to Quick. Use miasma to activate powers to increase damage and gain additional benefits.  

Strategy: Use actions to either protect allies with Guardian or damage enemies with your Shotgun. Spend miasma to further protect your team (Dispersion) or yourself (Unstoppable and Fortify).

Strategy: Deploy and activate drones using Autonomous (free action), Operate (action), and Surge (power) to provide what the team needs most. Defender and Med Drones help keep allies safe while Combat drones combined with Assault Rifle attacks can deal solid damage to foes.
