CYCLONE COMBAT BONUSES

In order to determine the bonuses a character gets from cyclone training, consult the two tables below. The first lists general bonuses that a character earns from a specific training skill regardless of which cyclone model he is piloting. Then look at the second table to get a list of the specific bonuses associated with the model of cyclone the character is piloting. All skills and bonuses are exclusive; a character can have Cyclone Combat or Cyclone Basic training, but not both skills to try and combine bonuses.

Remember, these bonuses are in addition to the pilot's own hand to hand training and attribute bonuses, but apply ONLY when piloting a cyclone. These mecha combat bonuses do not apply to the pilot's physical abilities when outside the mecha.

NOTE: Changing modes from motorcycle to battloid or vice versa counts as one attack/action for a melee round.

GENERAL BONUSES FROM CYCLONE BASIC TRAINING This category applies to all characters who were not officially trained by the RDF, Southern Cross, or Expeditionary Force in mecha combat. One hand to hand attack per melee (plus those of the pilot). One additional hand to hand attack at level six. One additional hand to hand attack at level eleven. Critical strike same as pilot's hand to hand. Maneuvers: Body flip/throw, body block/tackle/ram, kick attack, leap attack (counts as two attacks), leap dodge (automatic dodge, just like a parry, with no loss of attacks per melee).
