Plasma Grenade:See Homebrew Campaign Setting "Halo" weapons.
Cowardly:Grunts suffer a -2 penalty to saves against fear effects. When a Grunt senses that he is within 10 feet of a person who he consciously identifies as an enemy, he must make a Will Save (DC=10+enemy's intimidate, bluff, or Charisma modifier, whichever is higher) or flee in the most direct route away from all enemies for 1 round. Multiple enemies within a 10 foot radius of the Grunt require multiple saves.
Group Morale:When a Grunt is within 10 feet of his allies, he gains a +1 to all attack rolls. When a person in a Grunt's party is reduced to 0 hit points, he takes a -2 to all attack rolls until the person is restored to at least 1 hit point.
