// Traits

Obscene Resilience. Whenever the excess terminator takes damage, reduce that damage by 4 (minimum 1). The first time it is bloodied each scene, it immediately takes one free action, delighted.

Connoisseur of Impact. Each attack that hits the terminator grants it +1 damage on its next attack (maximum +5) as it savors the exchange.

Cataphract Grace. The terminator cannot be Pinned, Suppressed, or knocked Prone, and it moves through difficult terrain without penalty.

// Actions

Sonic Gauntlet. Melee Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3d8 + 6 sonic damage, and the target makes a Toughness Save DC 16 or is pushed 10 feet and has Disadvantage on its next attack.

Shockwave Clap. The terminator claps its gauntlets together: every creature within 15 feet makes a Toughness Save DC 16, taking 3d8 sonic damage and falling Prone on a failure, or half damage on a success.

Savor the Approach. The terminator braces and dares the party. Until the start of its next turn, its damage reduction increases to 6 and each hit against it grants +2 damage instead of +1.

// Reactions

Return the Favor. When a creature within its reach hits the terminator with a melee attack, it may make one Sonic Gauntlet attack against that creature.

Morale: Does not break; even dying is an experience it intends to have thoroughly, and its final round should cost someone.

Tactics: Walk it slowly into the party's fire on purpose — every hit they land literally feeds it, and telling them so creates a delicious dilemma. It heads for whoever is dealing the most damage, out of admiration. The counter is ignoring it, which its faster allies exist to prevent.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: Its cataphract plate is threaded with sensation-amplifiers that fetch obscene prices in circles the Inquisition maintains lists about.

Enemy Dossier

GM Reference

An Excess Terminator is a heavy elite in cataphract plate tuned for sensation: sonic shock at the fingertips and obscene resilience underneath. It absorbs punishment as entertainment and returns it as doctrine.

// Battlefield Use

Use this enemy as the anchor of a Slaaneshi assault — an unhurried heavy that arrives amid the chaos its faster kin created.

// Threat Profile

Extreme durability and armor, sonic shock weaponry, melee and short-range pressure, feeds on being attacked, immune to suppression, slow.

Cataphract Grace. Cannot be Pinned, Suppressed, or knocked prone; moves through difficult terrain without penalty.

// Signature Actions

Sonic Gauntlet. Melee attack of crushing vibration; the target must save or be Shaken and pushed 10 feet.

Shockwave Clap. All creatures within 15 feet save or take sonic damage and are knocked prone.

Savor the Approach. Braces and dares the party: until its next turn, it reduces damage further and its Connoisseur bonus doubles.

Morale: Does not break; even dying is an experience it intends to have thoroughly, and its final round should cost someone.

Tactics: Walk it slowly into the party's fire on purpose — every hit they land literally feeds it, and telling them so creates a delicious dilemma. It heads for whoever is dealing the most damage, out of admiration. The counter is ignoring it, which its faster allies exist to prevent.
