Your captors haven't turned the TV off once since you were brought in. The muffled sounds of the outside world seep in through the crack in the heavy duty metal door that keeps you here.

You need to pick between either [Threat], [Crash] or [Chipless] - you only get one. I mean, I can apply all of them but you'd only get +1 CS even with all those drawbacks.
You've also got [Melee+1] as a skill - I need to see that to give you the +1 bonus to melee'ing things, please add it to the stat-block; makes for easier house-keeping on my end.

I did it by hand for the first map. This drove me /stark/ raving mad.
Now I use a photoshop filter by applying a [Stroke] effect to a basic 9 px brush.
Size 6, position outside, opacity 100, blend mode normal - [Stroke].
I toss in a [Drop Shadow] with an offset and a slightly lower opacity to make it pop a little more, but that's not neccessary. ---
Another man falls; this one with broken arms and broken limbs and a shattered wrist and... I hope they have good medical around here.
The final combatant panick fires his chirni; bullets fl everywhere.

Cub walks away from a standing enemy. Angry, hurt - insulted - the Bonejacker smacks Cub in the back of the head with his Chirni, then reloads, takes a few steps, and sprays down the room.
