Irkapuths are a playable species from Ageriul. Irkaputh function differently to other playable species, due to their extremely small size. They are only able to wear a few types of armour and use a few types of weapon, but are extremely hard to hit and have naturally high accuracy. They can also use small types of vehicles to get around faster.
Gameplay[]
If using natural melee, an Irkaputh will use venom on an enemy if it rolls a 5 or 6 on a dice rolled before rolling to hit. This will give 5 extra damage on the bite, and cause 5 damage in the next two turns. If using ranged, roll a die before rolling to hit. 1 or 2 will roll acid. The others will roll burn. If a 6 is rolled, then the enemy will be blinded for 3 turns, which will require double the rolls to hit something if they are compatible. All of these attacks have an accuracy of one in two.
To hit an Irkaputh, you must roll twice. If both are a number that hits, the gun will hit. If an Irkaputh is in flight, you must roll three times instead. Special abilities for weapons require at least half of the rolls being the correct number.
When communicating to another Irkaputh, no sound is made.
Although this may seem overpowered, just remember that there are only a few weapons that will not outright kill a bare Irkaputh.
