Terminator

A hulking robot runs towards its target, programmed to eliminate them. A robot with the disguise of an old man watches a crowd carefully, scanning it for potential enemies to Skynet.

Terminators are the definition of evil, programmed by a mysterious AI called Skynet to eliminate the human race.

Metal Body

As a Terminator, you are made out of pure steel. Your AC without wearing armor is 13+ your Constitution modifier. Also, Your unarmed strikes use a D6.

Guns Ablaze

You can tear through a crowd with your guns. During combat, when there are at least five enemies, you may ad a D4 to your attacking roll to get past a target's AC or for your damaging roll. Also, if you kill a creature with this skill and there is still extra damage, the extra damage carries over to the nearest enemy, no AC roll required. This die goes up at level five, level 10, level 15, and level 20, as shown in the table above.

<!-Use semi-colons for subheaders->

Skull-Shaped Face

Your face beneath your fake skin is just... Unnerving. At 2nd level, if you have suffered a critical hit and you are below maximum hit points, you have advantage on all intimidation checks. Also, instead of doing a persuasion check when you have suffered the conditions above, you can do an intimidation check.
