Super Robot Upgrades, Go!

48/48 Points Spent

3 x Growth (+ 4 Size Categories due to class features. I think this puts it somewhere in the vicinity of 1.2 km, but I'm too lazy to check) [3]
All Sentient Upgrades [5]
Transform: Fighter [1]
3 x Extra (Kung-fu Robot? Four limbs!) [3]
13 x Plating [13]
13 x Agility [13]
10 x Targeter [10]

I think I might be fast enough to cause a sonic boom now.

[oslecamo]

Soo... Trying to figure out damage.

Built-In Attack is 1d6+StrMod & 20/x2 Crit melee attack?
By spending 3 Upgrade points it becomes 3d6+[StrMod*1.5] 19/x3.
By Spending 5 Upgrade points the Mech gains Power & Rending with one attack.
And it consumes 3/3 my HD or -12 Energy.

Or I could spend 2 Upgrade points and pick up a Chakram Caster and have 20 Arsenal points left over.
It's a ranged weapon, +5 to Attack Rolls, 3d6+StrMod damage, 20/x3 Crit, and only costs -2 Energy per use.

That seems correct. The main weapon stll has better crit and adds more Str to damage, has Rending and Power.

I'm thinking all my built-in weapons are hands capable of shooting a gun...

You still need the guns to shoot mind you.

Also, still have no clue what Dodge is for.

Dodge bonus to AC, as detailed on the Real Robot list (I need to work on better content organization it seems).

Ok, I'll be drawing a line here. Mechas don't care about the pilot's size, as long as it fits inside them. All of those growths were never suposed to be stacked up like that.

Code: [Select]

That should give you the HD rolls.


Delete underscores.

Probably for the best that Growth doesn't stack like that (I'll save that for if I ever play a giant spider). Besides, even if Colossal wouldn't fit, I can shrink to fit. XD

[ketaro]

Thanks Raineh Daze.

Rolled 11d10+11 : 8, 2, 6, 5, 2, 9, 7, 5, 8, 2, 7 + 11, total 72

This is starting to get more complicated than I can handle right now. I can't learn a new system, much less playtest it. Someone else wanted the battleship, right?

Have fun everyone!

[Concerned Ninja Citizen]

Some questions:

What skill is used to identify a mecha? Knowledge (Arcana) since it's a construct?

Can I take a Mecha combat school as my extra school for Scholar and/or my Gifted for War school for Monster of Legend?

[ketaro]

Oh, I did have one last question.

I could not find anywhere the kind of action it took for a mecha to transform if it had the ability to. What is that action?

[SorO_Lost]

What Maneuvers does the Mech gain anyway? Or does it use the Pilot's?

Does The Mech's Spellchannel also channel Breath Weapons or other SLAs & Su abilities?

[Concerned Ninja Citizen]

Also, a way to add arsenal space to a Divine/Arcane Robot would be nice.

Maybe a pilot feat that grants extra arsenal, and/or rules allowing exchanging inherent weapons/features for arsenal space.

Oh, I did have one last question.

Swift action. It's in the Real Robots List post. Under the Mecha Special Properties spoiler.

[ketaro]

Swift action. It's in the Real Robots List post. Under the Mecha Special Properties spoiler.

Ah, thank you.

[Raineh Daze]

Don't Divine/Arcane Robots get to take the arsenal upgrade from the super robot list?

Is the 'extra physical ability on level up' benefit from Exemplar specimen retroactive?

[oslecamo]

Divine pilot now only halves the mecha's Arsenal capacity.

Some questions:

What skill is used to identify a mecha? Knowledge (Arcana) since it's a construct?

If it's an arcane super robot, sure.

If it's another model and/or has another power source, it will demand other knowledge skills.

Can I take a Mecha combat school as my extra school for Scholar and/or my Gifted for War school for Monster of Legend?

Yes, altough since mecha schools demand Energy to be used, you will not able to use them while outside your machine.

What Maneuvers does the Mech gain anyway? Or does it use the Pilot's?

Pilot's.

Does The Mech's Spellchannel also channel Breath Weapons or other SLAs & Su abilities?

Take the Amplifier acessory from the Arsenal for that.

Also, a way to add arsenal space to a Divine/Arcane Robot would be nice.

Arcane Pilot can take the extra Arsenal upgrade.

Divine pilots changed as detailed at the start of the post.

Maybe a pilot feat that grants extra arsenal, and/or rules allowing exchanging inherent weapons/features for arsenal space.

No. Arsenal options were based on the fact that pilots can't just go increasing their Arsenal space willy-nilly.

If there is no one anymore for a battleship, i'll do it. :

What skill is used to identify a mecha? Knowledge (Arcana) since it's a construct?

If it's an arcane super robot, sure.

If it's another model and/or has another power source, it will demand other knowledge skills.

Which ones?

Knowledge(Religion) for Divine Real Robots
Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) for Real Robots.
Knowledge (The Planes) for Super Robots.
Knowledge (History) for battleships.

If it's an hybrid, any of the relevant knowledges will give you some useful intel, but you'll need all of the relevant knowledges to fully recognize it.

I'm done. I now can sit around and figure out backstory and pick a personality for the next 5 days

Proficiencies: Simple and Martial Weapons, Light Armor

At 2nd level a mercane cannot be attacked by other creatures unless they succeed on a Will save (DC = 10 + half your HD + your Cha modifier), which renders them immune to this effect for 1 round. If the mercane deliberately causes harm to a creature then this effect is suppressed for 24 hours (though he is still free to order other creatures to attack for him). This otherwise functions as a sanctuary spell with a caster level equal to your ranks in Profession (merchant) (minimum 1), except that its effective spell level is half your HD. Other mercanes take a -4 racial penalty on saves against this effect

(click to show/hide)

At 2nd level a mercane gains access to a small chest on a pocket demiplane connected to the Ethereal Plane, capable of holding up to 1 cubic foot of matter per HD. He may summon the chest to his position as a standard action, or banish it back to the Ethereal Plane with another standard action; however, the chest cannot be transported in either direction if it contains creatures. Unlike the Leomund's secret chest spell, a mercane never risks losing his chest. If the chest is separated from the mercane for more than 1 hour, it returns to its demiplane (unless it contains creatures, in which case it returns after they leave).

Powerful Build

Quick Escape: Use Invisibility (swift action casting time, hr/lv duration) and Dimension Door as SLAs 4/day, 2 uses of Dimension Door to use Teleport or Plane Shift

Spell Resistance: HD+15 (27)

Telepathy: 5ft/HD (60ft) range

(click to show/hide)

At 5th level, a mercane carries more items around with him than he can keep track of. He can "buy" any item (magical or otherwise) at double the normal price as a free action, regardless of his current location, effectively having bought it retroactively. If he is capable of crafting items then he may also craft as a free action by doubling the cost. Such an item appears in his pack or Secret Chest, after which it can be retrieved and used as normal. He may not use this ability to gain access to artefacts or other items which cannot normally be bought.
Note that the mercane is not capable of selling items as part of this transaction, meaning he must have enough raw currency to pay for the item.

Growth: Traded for +1 dex

Rapid Retrieval: At 5th level a mercane can transport an item to or from his Secret Chest as a move action, without transporting the chest itself. He is still not capable of transporting creatures with this function.
