Chasing the (Savage) Dragon - Ack! Ack!

Mars Attacks Image and Mars Attacks Savage Dragon were intercompany crossovers between Image Comics and Topps Comics in 1996. Unlike most crossovers, these actually affected continuity of the Image universe (at least Erik Larsen's version) and are cannon. I've watched videos about the main story and read the synopsis of the Savage Dragon-centric title. Because Dragon is such an important character these have been added to my Chasing the (Savage) Dragon quest. Of the 8 issues, I only have Mars Attacks Image #4. The other issues aren't too rare, but I'm trying to find them in the wild before I go to eBay.

I've wanted to do some Savage Dragon related DCC content and thought this would be a fun way to start that endeavor. These stats are an amalgamation of the movie, comics, and cards. I also took a lot of inspiration from Tim Snider's Martian Crawl Classics. The Martian death ray pistol is lifted from it. I highly recommend that book and if you want to expand your Martian encounters.

Martian Grunt:  Init +0, Atk +2 unarmed (1d4) or +2 Martian Death Ray Pistol (disintegrate, DC 15 Fort save for 3d6, range 80');  AC 12; HD 2d6; MV 30'; Act 1d20; SP Martian physiology; Fort +2/+0, Ref +0, Will +0; AL C

Martian Physiology: Martians are physically frail and breathe nitrogen and oxygen is toxic to them. In addition to their oxygen intolerance they are greatly affected by certain high pitched sounds. They take 1d6 damage each round they exposed to these sounds. Sound based attacks also have their damage die increased one step.

Martian Death Ray Pistol: This deadly weapon disintegrate those struck by its rays. Creatures must make a DC 15 save or turn to a pile of ashes. Even if the save is successful, the target takes 3d6 damage. The pistol has a range of 80'. The rifle can make four attacks before it needs a new power cell. 

Martian Suit: The armor provides a +4 AC bonus and has a 1d6 fumble die. The protective suit provides full environmental protection and a +2 bonus to Fort saves. The suits are attuned to Martian physiology and the life support creates nitrogen, rather than oxygen.
