Heavy (Mercenaries: Blood & Guts Supplement)

Heavy

Heavies are big, tough warriors trained to wear the heaviest armor and wield the biggest guns. With the most ammunition and the most sheer durability, they are excellent at holding a position or winning a battle of attrition. And while they may not be great shots, their sheer volume of fire makes up for it. Part of being a heavy is being the biggest target, which in combat is a double-edged sword. A heavy takes the most incoming fire, but they often save their comrades' lives by taking a bullet or ten meant for a more fragile teammate.

A heavy is the closest thing there is to a living, walking tank! Play as a heavy if you want to be able to tank hit after hit, or rip your enemies to shreds with gigantic weapons.

Hand-to-Hand

All heavies are trained in grappling and striking in close quarters. Your unarmed strikes use a d6 for damage, and you can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of an improvised weapon, club, dagger, or shortsword. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, improvised weapon, club, dagger, or shortsword on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple a target. The damage die of this feature increases as you gain levels, as shown in the "Hand-to-Hand" column on the heavy class table.

Powerful Build

Thanks to a strong back and a burly build, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Hard to Kill

Beginning at 9th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can choose to be reduced to 1 hit point instead. Once you have used this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest. You can use this feature twice between rests starting at 13th level, and three times between rests starting at 17th level.
