OK, I have NO idea what my grapple mods are, so I'm going to roll the dice on the rolling thread and hope for the best.

Well, if your funnels get to use your mecha's size (colossal at least), I guess you'll manage a +16. This really is up in the air xD

As a rule, the mecha's  grapple size modifiers in mecha scale are the same when applied on normal scale.
Quote
"A mecha ignores size penalty to AC and attacks against non-mecha oponents. Such enemies don't gain size bonus to attacks and AC against mecha targets."

There is no mention of whether grappling is supposed to receive a similar treatment, which could be logical.
Though technically, being so big, the penalty to AC would make sense the same way that one may raise an eyebrow if some dude suplex'd a huge mecha.
It's been done with trains before.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems to be in contradiction with the concept:
Quote
Giant robots inevitably have weak joints and vital systems to be targeted, and their targeting systems have trouble landing a clean blow on much smaller opponents.

Should update this later today, just to clarify some details.

A medium mecha still counts as a colossal creature when in "normal" scale and would gain the +16 bonus against a medium non-mecha.

That's to justify damage discrepancies. A medium mecha's rifle is probably shooting bullets the size of people that should splatter regular humanoids. So when you roll a non-critical hit, it's more that your mecha-size bullet grazed your target, still inflicting significant damage but without reducing them to fine mist. On the other hand a lucky arrow/crossbow bolt hit armor joints and damage the squisher circuits inside.

I apologize for my recent silence, but my computer has been having problems. Frequently crashing, seems like the hard drive is failing, so for the near future I won't be able to keep my online stuff up to date.

So while Ols's HD is dead and until he can afford to replace it I'm a little mixed.

What I mean is this game has lasted the longest out of the pbps I've tried so on the one hand I'm hopeful it'll keep going. But on the other I'm a hair bit concerned people will lose interest and stop since we have no idea how long Ols may take. So, any ideas to prolong everyone's interest?

Dude, I'm running around with a male identifying dragon pretending to be a little girl or female teenager with a support staff that includes a nymph & succubus that were literally ordered to convinced, tempt, and coerce a now mentally retarded female opponent taken hostage that we're the good guys against an androgynous robot overseers bent on collecting magical giant black phallic objects from a planet with giant animals under a DM who thought visiting a hot spring / onsen should have a year's worth of detail put into it and I swear pulls most of his images for his homebrew from sakaku chan's image board.

I'm pretty sure we're just barely hitting Japanese levels here, couple more tentacles and nose bleeds and we might just make it. Hugo isn't creepy, just trying to fit in.

You're welcome for the onsen episode ;)

I'll get right on the rest of your requests  :lmao

I like that you TOTALLY skipped over the part where he Suicide Squad's two girls into serving as his spies after so much as the idea of sexual harassment was abandoned mostly because a legendary nuclear monstrosity named after a goddess of the sun figured he'd use tentacles instead.

Oh, and the onsen episode literally ended with him pulling a business contract out of a speedo.

Metaphorically.

Hey, insinuations are complicated, especially when you're a creepy Hazama-dressed guy using magic.

Keep it simple and just use force! :D

RD's character has 37 str, so medium right? Max heavy load is only 4,160lbs which is basically this.
So maybe not a starship, but if Bay keeps his crap up she can pile drive some transformers into the ground.

Edit - Here I found some rare footage of Hugo's father showing everyone how it's done.

Colossal carrying capacity. So actually 33,280lbs.

Which means she can drag a tank around by brute force alone.

If you pull the parking break on it you can double, up to 160tons, of dragging weight for using wheels. :D
