Human Gue'vesa Auxilia

Proficiencies: Awareness +3, Fieldcraft +3

Borrowed Doctrine. The gue'vesa falls back by bounds in good order: while an allied T'au unit or drone is visible, withdrawing does not provoke Reactive Fire.

Familiar Silhouette. At long range or in bad light, the gue'vesa is easily mistaken for loyal Guard; an Awareness check DC 12 tells the difference before the first volley settles the confusion.

Pulse Carbine. Ranged Attack: +3 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6 + 1 energy damage. Better than anything its old regiment issued.

Human Words. The gue'vesa calls out in Low Gothic — to surrender, to defect, to hold fire — and means it. One human enemy within 60 feet that can hear it makes a Willpower Save DC 11 or has Disadvantage on its next attack against a gue'vesa this round.

Morale: Steadier than a conscript while T'au or drones support them; surrenders or defects readily when isolated. These are converts, not fanatics.

Tactics: Run gue'vesa as competent, humane, and wrong. They hold second-line positions, screen T'au specialists, and try talking before dying. Every one the party kills should feel like paperwork the Commissariat would approve of and the players might not.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: A T'au-issue pulse carbine and a ration book stamped in two languages — evidence someone will want.

The gue'vesa is a human who took the Greater Good's ration book and pulse rifle, and the archive struggles with which offends more: the treason or how reasonable they sound about it. Fights like a Guard trooper retrained by better logisticians.

Use this enemy when the party should hesitate at the trigger — human faces, human voices, xenos doctrine.

Threat Profile: Low durability, decent pulse-weapon firepower for its grade, Imperial-style fieldcraft with T'au fallback discipline, brittle without T'au support.

Borrowed Doctrine. Falls back by bounds in good order, a habit no Guard sergeant ever beat into them.

Pulse-Armed. Carries T'au weapons that outclass its old lasgun; do not price this trooper by its face.

Familiar Silhouette. At range or in bad light, easily mistaken for loyal Guard; the first volley usually settles the confusion.

Pulse Carbine Volley. Standard ranged attack, better than anything its old regiment issued.

Human Words. Calls out to the party in Low Gothic — to surrender, to defect, to hold fire — and means it.

Morale: Steadier than a conscript while T'au or drones support them; surrenders or defects readily when isolated — these are converts, not fanatics.

Tactics: Run gue'vesa as competent, humane, and wrong. They hold second-line positions, screen T'au specialists, and try talking before dying. Every one the party kills should feel like paperwork the Commissariat would approve of and the players might not.
