INTRODUCTION
Even before the cross-over “Alien vs. Predator” and “Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem” movies were
released, there have been many examples of overlap between the Alien and Predator movie franchises.
For example, in Predator 2, a Xenomorph “skull” can be clearly seen amongst the Predator’s trophies

A
So I feel it is only natural to bring them into the Alien Role Playing Game as potential adversaries for
players - or perhaps as unlikely allies.
This document is my attempt to do just that. I hope you find it enjoyable.
BACKGROUND
Predators are a sentient, advanced race, who have possessed interstellar capabilities for at least the
past three centuries and perhaps much longer. They appear to be large, dreadlocked humanoids with

Predators are called the Yautja (yah-OOT-ya) in some related media, but this is not necessarily official.

HOMEWORLD
Yautja Prime is a ringed world in a trinary star system far from human charted space. Little is known
about the planet including its exact location, except that is more volcanically active than Earth, has
slightly higher gravity, a compatible atmosphere, and there are radioactive hotspots on the surface.
Given the Yautja preference for warm climates, Yautja Prime is thought to be warmer than Earth on
T
average.
LANGUAGE
Predators speak in a series of clicks and guttural sounds, but are capable of mimicking, and possibly
even speaking, Human languages. Humans, however, lack the vocal range to speak their language.
OTheir written form consists of 40 characters, which have yet to be decoded.
R
PLAYER SECTION
ATTRIBUTES
Predators are larger, stronger, and more agile than humans (standard Hunters, Leaders, and Elders
being approximately 7 to 7.5 feet tall, and Super Predators being 8 feet tall, that is, 2.1 to 2.4 meters
respectively), and are able to move through the branches of jungle trees and from rooftop to rooptop
almost as fast as a human can run.
System: Once the base 14 points are allocated, Predators gain an additional +3 to Strength and +3
to Agility, to give them a range of 5 to 8 (as the minimum allocation is 2).
System: All Predators have Mobility 3 innately. They may be assigned (at the GM’s discretion) a
Speed rating of 2, as per the Alien attribute of the same name.
COMMUNICATION
When dealing with Humans, the Predator suffers a -2 penalty to its Empathy score (and vice versa,
P
when Humans deal with a Predator), due to the difficulties in inter-species communications and the
misinterpretation of customs and idioms. Any result less than zero is treated as zero.
Predators are known to enjoy mimicry, and often will repeat phrases spoken by their prey. They also
do so in order to lure their prey into a trap.
R
VISUAL PERCEPTION
Predators see primarily in the infra-red end of the spectrum and thus may suffer penalties when
distinguishing between objects at the same temperature. At the same time, they can make out recent
foot prints via residual heat.
E
Without their technological advantages, Predators find it hard to see Xenomorphs as the latter do not
emit much in the infra-red spectrum.
When wearing a Bio-mask, these issues are compensated for to some degree, but Predators may
D
still miss details.
System: At the GM’s discretion, when the Predator is required to make an Observation roll, it may
be penalized if distinguishing between objects at the same temperature (for example, between the
mud on a river bank and a human covered in the same mud). Alternatively, it may receive a bonus if

objects are not at the same temperature.

specific individual -- up to a kilometer or more away, as a “hunch” or “rough sense of direction”.
T
O
INITIATIVE AND ACTIONS
Predators can move faster than humans thanks to a larger stride and greater agility in general.
System: Predators may perform one slow action and two fast actions, or three fast actions per round.
Predators can move between zones as per Humans. However, in Cluttered Zones, they rarely fall
R
down or stumble. They are also adept at climbing trees / jumping to branches, and can get to branches
well above 2m as a movement action with ease. In suitably packed forest or jungle, a Predator can
move between trees as fast as a Human can cover the same distance on the ground.
P
R
E
D
AAlternate System: As above, but assign the Predator a Speed rating of 2 as per an Alien in addition.
Predators IR vision helps them move in Dark Zones.
System: Providing they can differentiate between different temperatures, Predators suffer no penalties
Tin darkness. If wearing a biomask, the Predator can always see perfectly well in the dark.
Predators larger size restricts them in Cramped Zones. They find it difficult to enter crawl spaces and
ducts, for example.
OSystem: None - it’s up to the GM to decide if the Predator will fit into a crawl space. If they can, then
the same penalties apply as for Humans.
Predators may make use of an Invisibility device (a “Cloak”) which is not perfect - there is a visible
distortion in the shape of the Predator which is just about visible in good lighting and more obvious if
Rthe Predator moves.
System: If “Cloaked”, the Predator always acts first in a round of combat against Humans until the
cloaking device is turned off or otherwise rendered ineffective (for example, by covering the Predator
in paint or flour or other material, or if the Predator is “backlit” by a bright light source), or if the cloaked
Predator is confined to a space where it cannot move far (such as a narrow corridor for example).
System: When fighting Xenomorphs, Neomorphs and so on, “Cloaking” has no effect on Initiative as
these creatures rely on other senses to detect the cloaked Predator.
System: If “Cloaked”, the Predator may disengage from combat at any time, without penalty, when
fighting Humans. This rule does not apply when fighting Xenomorphs.
PLAYER SECTION
PUSHING ROLLS
Predators may push their rolls, just like Humans can.
STRESS, PANIC...AND RAGE

Predators do not accumulate Stress or suffer from Panic. Instead they accumulate Rage, and may
suffer from its effects.
System: Rage is accumulated in much the same way as Stress. However, unlike Stress, Rage is not
gained from a coup de grâce, failure to use the Analysis talent, or the revelation that a person is an
Android (Predators often know an Android by sight anyhow, as the body heat is often noticeably
different).
The Predator may roll extra dice for Rage in the same manner as Stress. P
Predators must make a Rage roll when they roll one or more 1’s on Rage dice, if another
member of their group displays a Rage effect, or if they are critically injured. Other
circumstances are up to the GM.
Use the following table for Rage below instead of the Panic table:
R
RESULT
1-6
EFFECT
KEEP YOUR COOL -- You just about keep your head together.
E
D
7 PRIMAL SCREAM -- You let out an almighty roar of challenge and defiance, which
probably reveals your position to the enemy if they were unaware. This removes the
effect of a Cloak if the enemy is at Engaged, Short or Medium range.
8-9 MINDLESS VANDAL -- You take out your anger on an inanimate object, potentially a
useful piece of equipment, and smash it to pieces.
10-11
12-13
OLD SCHOOL -- You attack the nearest enemy with your bare claws, foregoing the use
of weapons.
BERSERK -- You immediately attacking the nearest person or creature, friendly or not.
Every Predator who witnesses the Berserk rage must make a Rage roll. Humans make
A
a Panic roll as normal.
14 or more FRENZY -- As per BERSERK, but the Rage does not stop when the first target (or the
second, or the third) is Broken. You keep going … until you can’t.
T
O
Rage effects can be stopped either by reaching the Broken state, or after a Turn. Unlike Stress,
Command rolls will not stop Rage.
Rage can be relieved in much the same manner as Stress and, for Predators, Rage does not
cause Permanent Mental Trauma.
“You’re one ugly motherfucker.”

-- MAJOR ALAN “DUTCH” SCHAEFER R
PPAIN AND DAMAGE

Predators can endure very high levels of pain and remain conscious and functional, and are also
slightly less vulnerable to the effects of Xenomorph blood, though it can still severely injure them.
They can even perform minor surgeries in the field without anaesthetic on themselves if necessary.
RSystem: When determining a Predator’s starting Health score, add +2 to their Strength to reflect their
greater pain tolerance and general toughness.
System: Predators wear some advanced armour, which is detailed below.
ESystem: Any critical which impedes a Predator solely due to pain such as “Crippling Pain” is ignored.
Furthermore, the Predator may make a basic Strength check, and if they pass they can ignore “Can’t
Use” results such as Can’t Use Arm where pain is ruled to be the deciding factor.
System: If a Predator reaches the “Broken” state, the effects take place on the subsequent turn and
Ddo not prevent the Predator acting on the turn where they become Broken.
System: If exposed to Alien acid, Predators may deduct a single die of damage on initial exposure
and an additional die per turn of continuing damage. Humans may use Predator blood as a “salve” to
somewhat relieve the effects of the Acid, though a fair amount is needed to achieve the same effects,
Aand Predators in general aren’t keen on giving it up…

PREDATOR GEAR
In general, Predator Equipment is superior to the Human equivalents, but has not advanced much
in the last few centuries for unknown reasons, though it is likely that they do not make their own
equipment but instead have it made for them by a conquered race. Once a device is “good enough”
they do not continue to refine or improve it. Thus Predators encountered in the late 2100s are likely
to use similar equipment to that found on Predators in the 1980s.
