The Next Generation of Star Wars Tabletop Adventure
Nihil Storm Reapers are the storm’s knives — silent, patient killers who exist to end fights cleanly and decisively. They do not announce raids or lead charges. They wait, watch, and strike when resistance is already cracking. When a key defender drops without warning, the storm has reached its final phase.
Reapers favor elevated positions, shadowed corridors, and obscured sightlines where their presence is felt only after the first body hits the ground. Among the Nihil, they are feared even by Storm units; a Reaper’s arrival means someone important is about to die.
In SWURPG, Nihil Storm – Reaper units should feel like fast violence with a plan: ambush angles, intimidation, and ruthless target selection. They’re strongest when they can reposition, isolate a victim, and disengage before the heroes can stabilize. Use terrain, smoke, and flanking routes to make the encounter feel like a raid — not a stand-up fight.

Gas Mask Filters. The Nihil has Advantage on saving throws against poison effects and is immune to its own War Cloud Gas.
Reaper’s Patience. Once per turn, if the Nihil does not move and does not use its Bonus Action, its next ranged weapon attack deals an extra 4 damage on a hit.
Stealth Attack. When the Nihil hits a creature while it is hidden from that creature, the attack deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage.
Rapid Attack. When the Nihil makes a melee or ranged weapon attack, it may take a –2 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, it deals one additional damage die of the weapon’s normal damage type.
Delayed Arrival. The Nihil may choose to enter combat at the start of round 2 or later. When it does, it has Advantage on its first attack roll that round.
Tactical Shot. When the Nihil hits a creature with a ranged weapon attack, it may forgo dealing damage to force the target to make a DC 16 STR saving throw. On a failure, the target is either knocked prone or pushed 10 ft — the Nihil’s choice.

Storm Reapers avoid the opening exchange, allowing Clouds and Commandos to draw attention and force enemies into predictable movement. Once targets are distracted, wounded, or separated, the Reaper strikes from concealment, prioritizing medics, leaders, and Force users.
If revealed, a Reaper disengages immediately, repositioning rather than trading blows. They are not duelists — they are finishers. A Reaper leaves the battlefield as soon as its chosen targets are dead, letting the rest of the storm collapse resistance without them.
