I WILL SURVIVE WITH NO REBUILDS RAAAAAAAAAAWR  :flame

I'll help you survive (whenever I finish my character and get into the game).

I'm thinking about changing Marshal out for something else though, its auras are feeling kind of meh and Spirits beat Commands.  I'm just not sure what to grab that feels buff-y and doesn't have spells because I'm bad at limited resource management.

Okay, going Dreadnought will still keep me in a support role (and actually give me stuff to contribute outside of the ship), fits my character from a fluff perspective, and will require me to take a level of Super Pilot which will adjust when I get feats to the point that I've opened up a slot that can be used for Humongous Ship if it ends up being needed for my minion army.


Does anyone care about flanking?

32 point buy?

How are stats for my officers and Leadership followers done?
Officers and followers get elite array.

I sure hope so since this isn't supposed to be a "rebuild to get even stronker!", just "rebuild to try new stuff". :P

That you're happy with your character as she is makes me happy too.

Daring Dancer! (ok bardic music dances technically have limit per day but The Show Goes On allows you to spam it all day long in return for being weaker).


EDIT: Ah seems like you already found something else.

I looked at Daring Dancer but making it work while I was in my ship just seemed like it wouldn't work out unless I was being silly, even Ideal Idol requires giving up some ship benefits to enable everyone to see her

Anyhow, my IC post is simply waiting on if that rebuild's got some glaring flaw in it or not. Uses exactly the same equipment (minus some things that would be extraneous or just... overboard) after all.

More questions: Do the benefits of Neo Skills stack with each other (for example, fast healing is all over the place)?

Do my minions use NPC wealth?  I'm assuming so but just checking.

I also assume that my Dreadnought class abilities count when I'm piloting my mecha?  I'm mainly thinking about the one that makes ranged attacks not provoke.

Edit: Another one, if I grant people DR X/- does it stack with existing DR X/-?

Everything looking good there.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Not unless it specifically says it stacks.

Nobody else's homebrew explicitly mentions stacking because it's all based around a lower power level where nobody can easily gain DR X/-.   :P

My character isn't finished but none of those answers change what I've got so it's ready for you to look at and tell me if anything needs to be adjusted so far.

I'm done with Damarius except for feats and all of the math.

I just saw the Custom Special feat so whenever I'm on a computer I'm going to have to look at the math and decide if I want to take that instead of multiclassing with Super Pilot (I'm pretty sure that I do).

Edit: Done except for followers and backstory.  I might change my arsenal choices but that's a minor thing.  Os, let me know what you think.

Looks like Damarius doesn't have his minions ready yet but otherwise the only thing worrying me a bit is the +10 to Initiative to all the party which basically makes it quite likely you always go first but I can roll with that for now.

I wanted to make sure that he was okay before starting on his minions, he was....complicated to put together.

I do have other aura options to choose from that would make sense if the Init is a bit much.

Well if you wouldn't mind switching the Initiative one for another, then I would appreciate it yes.

Can do.

It would have been worse if I had stuck with marshal.  +10 to all kinds of stuff  :P

I realised earlier that my last post has Amaterasu somewhat contradicting the given backstory. I guess the backstory is the more public friendly one than "mad scientists set out to break science". :lmao

For some reason the idea is stuck in my head to replace one of my feats with the feat that doubles my amount of followers even though I won't use them in actual combat.

I could have a fleet!

Of course the Terumi lookalike is the one who would end up as the repeat host for Dark Falz.  :rolleyes

Hmm, my cohort is going to be either a Module Pilot or a Techno Thief.

Edit: Going Techno Thief. He'll be interesting.

Another question: Do languages not matter aside from the Child Soldier restriction?

Clearly there was some dispute about what Amaterasu should be. :P

Useful for evacuations and scouting if nothing else.

"Sure you can trust us, don't mind me the fresh coat of paint in the mecha of my right-hand man".

Not much, no. Pretty much everybody so far miracolously speaks cosmic common or maybe universal translators got really cheap and efficient.

My cohort is now a Module Pilot.  Techno Thief was turning into way too many choices and options once creation is done.  My main character is too complicated for me to have a cohort who is also complicated.   :lol

Os, can you tell me if the game is expected to stay within the basic area that it's been in so far?  I took Heaven-Sailing Dragon because it sounded really cool but now it feels like I might better use that feat (and Born to Fight) somewhere else.
