So, to get a battleship from the other big Real Robot series, you need to multiclass ship/super pilot? :p

Well I guess you gotta choose between being an awesome leader and having an awesome ship.

I'm not sure I can see the logic behind having to multiclass to actually improve one class's class feature. Especially not 'multiclass into Super Pilot', which doesn't so much improve the ship as turn it into two things...

Then what would you say is the purpose of multiclassing?

The base ship does improve. Your weapons are becoming better every couple levels while your HP, AC, DR and energy are all improving at a good rate.

Now if you don't want just raw upgrades and want fancier stuff, then you multiclass into the class that gives you fancy mechas-aka super pilot.

All pilots get a giant personal machine of some sorts. How it improves depends on what pilot path you take.

Clarified that when the Fusion Golem's composite Plating doubles "any" DR you have, it means just DR gained from the Half-Golem and Fusion Golem levels.

Consider a ship like White Base versus the SDF-1 Macross. Both are unique in their make and purpose but in different ways. The White Base is meant to do exactly what it does for the first half of its series - slip through enemy territory mostly unnoticed and repel assault with a minimum contingent of troops. It's meant to be a high-speed, small (for command craft), specialized ship.

The SDF-1, on the other hand, is a colony ship that's supposed to ALSO be able to defend itself from massive enemy assault. For this purpose, it needs space - lots and lots of space. What is the single most notable characteristic of a Super Robot?

IT'S HONKIN' BIG.

I think Osle's purpose with single-class ship captain was to cover more "realistic" starships while the multiclass covered the more fantastic ones (such as, I suppose, Galaxy Express 999. Yes, I know it's a train).

Personally, I picked a multiclass of Arcane and Super Pilot less because of specific features and more because I figured Hugo's mech needed a bit of "oomph", visually speaking (Cybuster has always been less-than-impressive visually for me). But I can't really think of a good example of an arcane/super mix.

Oh, that's what Hugo is? I was wondering.

Can you think of a good example of an Arcane or Divine Robot at all? I was under the impression that those classes were added more as a concession to the fact that we're playing D&D than because they corresponded to something in the Mecha mythos.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong on that, though. Doubly so if you can give me a series name so I can find it and watch it.

Cybuster, as I mentioned, is a good example of Arcane robot (the series isn't particularly great though - it's slow as hell).

Divine Robot... you'll have to ask Osle.

I think Demonbane mixes the Cthulhu Mythos into things, but I don't have any actual experience with it.

It does, though it feels more like it's on the arcane side of things.

EDIT: Hey Osle? I think I'm screwed when it comes to Spirits. I'm a Divine Pilot 8/Super Pilot 4, so neither SP nor RP are my highest level classes. Do I have to eat the increased cost either way?

And does the Plating super robot upgrade increase any DR possessed by 1?

I thought you were an arcane pilot?

In any case, I assumed that Divine Pilot counted as Real Pilot and Arcane Pilot counted as Super Pilot for spirits, since those are the respective robot types they use.

I wanna know - is there an option for amplifying spells through your mecha? I can probably do some wicked stuff if there is.

You mean besides the Arcane and Divine Pilot classes?
