Notes:

Everytime a Stun Tonfa hits, the pilot of the target unit does a ME check (rolls 1d20 to get a score EQUAL or UNDER his ME score).

If he makes the check, the KMF only takes MDC damage.

A failed roll will knock him unconcious for 1d4 rounds, with NO ACTIONS possible for the stunned pilot on those rounds. Once he wakes up, he gets a -2 penalty to strike/parry/dodge for the next 1d4 rounds.

Also everytime a KMF is hit by the Tonfa, the GM will roll a percentile dice, rolling EQUAL or UNDER 40% + 5% per level of KMF pilot. A failed roll will SHUTDOWN the KMF for 1d4 rounds.

Background Information:

The Sutherland is currently the standard Knightmare Frame model for the Britannian Army, the Sutherland is a fifth-generation unit heavily based on the older RPI-11 Glasgow. It boasts improved mobility through a better application of the Landspinner systems as well as enhanced cockpit life support. It carries Stun Tonfas, Slash Harkens and handheld assault rifles. Many variants exist such as the all-range REVO type, or the assault-use Pinpoint Breakthrough type. Also appearing are Close Combat, Hover equipment test, and Electronic Warfare types. In R2, Production-model Sutherlands become able to equip a Float Unit backpack identical to that of the Lancelot Air Cavalry.
