The subjects of rigorous scientific experimen-tation, Helix Warriors are soldiers whose DNA has undergone a process of conversion some-times referred to as “forced evolution.” Science corrects their physical flaws and enables Helix Warriors to surpass the natural limita-tions of the human form. The genetic muta-tion process is ongoing. As their DNA contin-ues to transform, Helix Warriors manifest new abilities that make them into better, more re-silient super-soldiers, security guards, and law enforcement officers. Select this advanced class if you want your character to be a capable soldier with abilities beyond the reach of normal human beings.CLASS FEATURES The following class features pertain to the He-lix Warrior advanced class. Haul Helix Warriors can carry more heavy gear than the typical soldier. A Helix Warrior's Strength is considered 4 points higher for the purpose of determining her carrying capacity. Light Sleeper Helix Warriors are light sleepers and can make Listen checks even while asleep, with-out penalty. (A sleeping character normally takes a -10 penalty on Listen checks.) Survivor When a Helix Warrior spends an action point to modify the result of a saving throw, she may roll an additionalld6 and take the best result, discarding the lower roll(s).
