FEATS


Trans-Am[Pilot]
Prerequisites: N/A
Benefit: Utilizing a secret system hidden within the GN Drive, the pilot expends more energy to increase the performance of their Mecha. At the cost of 20% max energy per turn you gain a +1 attack bonus, +2 damage bonus, +1 enhancement bonus to AC, and +5 mu movement speed per 3 Pilot levels you have. This is activated using a swift action, and during its duration the mecha emits a red glow which prevents Hide checks. This can be ended as a free action. This automatically ends if you are incapable of paying the cost and is only usable while the currently piloted mecha has a GN Drive.

Twin Drive[Pilot]
Prerequisites: N/A
Benefit: Due to higher energy requirements for certain weapons and accessories, or the need for longer performance times, some specialized units are fitted with a second paired engine.

Alluvians


Alluvian Module Pilot

The Alluvians are the self called original owners of a human world that they left a long time ago. This may or may not have had to do with an ancient city that is now lost to the ocean. One which they may or may not have intentionally sunk before leaving the planet to the less technologically developed inhabitants. Not only were they capable of space travel while the others where in there dark age, they also developed powerful minds through a combination of training and experimentation. They appear mostly to be human, but possessing strange and brightly colored hair and eye colors.

(click to show/hide)

Type: Alluvians are humanoids.

Ability Score Increases: Alluvians are both intelligent and have a strong sense of self, but they overlook personal fitness due to focus on other things. They gain +2 to Int or Char, and -2 Con

Size: Alluvians are medium sized.

Their base speed is 30 feet.

Sixth Sense: The heightened minds of the Alluvian has caused their extrasensory to be easily usable. They can detect thinking creatures (that aren't immune to psionics) mentally as easily as looking at them. This gives Blindsight 30 feet that only detects thinking creatures. This is increased to mu when in mecha and similar.

Telepathic: Having gone beyond needing to talk, they have developed the ability to communicate with Telepathy. This has a range of 50 feet, which converts into mu when in mecha or similar.

Naturally Psionic: Alluvians gain 1 bonus power point at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.

Favored Class: Module Pilot

(click to show/hide)

Amateur Telekinesis[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian
Benefit: Arms just aren't long enough sometimes! They can pick things mentally at a range of 30 ft, being able to move it at the same rate as a move action. The limit of weight is determined either by Intelligence or Charisma, halving it and treating it as if it were Strength. This can only move a single object or operate machinery/devices, it cannot be used as an attack directly (couldn't swing an axe, but could cause a mech to do it) or the like. It could be used to tug an object from someone's hand or break something however. Manipulations using this takes equivalent time it would take to do it normally.

Mental Trauma Soldier[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian, Amateur Telekinesis
Benefit: Amateur Telekinesis can now be used for attacking with weapons and combat maneuvers. This includes unarmed strikes as well. Additionally they can Daze a target as a standard action (DC = 10 + 1/2 HD + Int or Cha modifier).

High City Savant[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian, 13 in Int, Wis, or Char
Benefit: Alluvians treasure their ability gained from mental prowess, and it is the driving force of there abilities and talents. Pick a mental score that is at least 13, from now on any abilities from one of their classes uses this ability score instead.

Alluvian Superiority[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian, Amateur Telekinesis
Benefit: Psionics come naturally to Alluvians, whether or not they have a profession that lends them to developing powers. First, pick a psionic discipline. If you already have a class which you needed to make this decision for, use that discipline. If you would get such a class after picking this feat, the discipline for it must be what was chosen for this feat. Pick a power of that discipline (including Discipline exclusive ones) with no expensive exp/gold components of a level no higher than ½ PL, or in alternative two powers of one level lower than that or four spells each 4 levels lower and so on. You can now use it as a PLA 3/day, any DCs are based on your highest mental score and channel it through any mecha you pilot. These powers can be manifested as if augmented if you take the power as one appropriate to the final cost (round up to the next highest cost if the cost doesn't meet a specific level). If you have power points you can manifest these normally. Each time you level up you may change those choices.
Special: You may pick this feat multiple times, each time choosing new powers or picking old ones for extra uses.

Thought Network[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian or Telepathy, Leader
Benefit: Every ally in range of your Leader feat can mentally communicate and share senses when beneficial. This protects from being flanked by those lower than 4 levels higher than the highest leveled member.

Battle Bond[Pilot]
Prerequisites: Alluvian, Relationship Feat
Benefit: If you have been fighting along side an ally for more than two consecutive rounds, you can temporarily make them the target of any one Relationship feat you have. They must remain in range of your telepathy and be obviously fighting with you. If they leave the range this is temporarily suppressed, but resumes if they get back within it. This remains active until the end of the battle. You can target more than one person, but they must be targeted with a different Relationship feat.

Took away an accessory slot in exchange for Reactor III.

9-19-18
Added Alluvian Race.

7-9-19
Add Trait and Feat.

[CKirk]

My immediate thought is a question as to Trans-Am's prereq. Normally, to my knowledge, feats can't have gear as a pre-req, though they can improve usage of gear.

My second thought is 'will there be a 00 Raiser for Tier VI? (and maybe a 00 Quan[T] for Tier VII)'

[YuweaCurtis]

Os knows about that feat and he didn't seem to have a problem with that particular prereq.

I will eventually make Qan[T] for Tier VII, but I'm just using an NPC Module Pilot for 0 Raiser. I can make 00 Raiser for Tier VI, but due to the Raiser itself being a separate unit it's kinda weird.

[oslecamo]

Ckirk raises a good point, this type of prerequisite should be removed in favor of the feat only working when you're piloting a mecha with the valid options.

[SorO_Lost]

Ckirk raises a good point, this type of prerequisite should be removed in favor of the feat only working when you're piloting a mecha with the valid options.

It already does that, thanks to the current prerequisite. Plus there are a lot of Feats that are based on using, or wearing, certain items.

Why, do you not like the wording or something?

All I'm saying is that I can't think of any feat that requires you have a specific item. Weapon Focus and the like, for example, don't require you have the given weapon, they just only work with the weapon. With this wording, what happens if your mech with the GN Drive is destroyed? Do you lose the feat? Because that's what normally happens when you no longer qualify for a feat.

Oh, and also, shouldn't the 00 Gundam come with a Reactor value?

[YuweaCurtis]

Eh, I'll reword it to fit standards, but that's really just saying the same thing.

And nah, it already has a built in GN Drive and has a flight speed. It already has a bit. You're just gonna have to put it on a hardpoint.

Thanks for the change!

That seems reasonable.

A question as to the 0 Raiser. Is that being combined with the 00 Gundam through HEATS? 'cuz I definitely want to build that kinda character now

[oslecamo]

Eh, I'll reword it to fit standards, but that's really just saying the same thing.

The intent is there, but for crunch bits it's best to play it safe. Thank you.

I would strongly suggest you do the same for Twin Drive. Prerequisite of Reactor is kinda unclear since it even isn't a piece of gear per se. The feat then should start with "While piloting a mecha with the Reactor property..." or something along those lines.

Also linked this thread to the main feat and real pilot threads.

[SorO_Lost]

All I'm saying is that I can't think of any feat that requires you have a specific item.

Boomerang Daze? Lightning Maces? Complete Warrior has like a dozen and a few appear in other splat.

And no you don't lose the Feat, you just cannot use the Feat. Which is why I figured you guys had some problem with the wording. The benefit sections of D&D's Feats mention this, like while you have x you can do y, rather than relaying on the rule stack.

Boomerang Daze only requires proficiency with boomerangs, and Lightning Maces requires Weapon Focus (Mace). Neither requires you to be wielding the weapon to have the feat.

Someone must be having a really terrible day to leap into a pointless langauge debate of "using" or "when you attack with x" vs "wielding" by their second post in a discussion about how someone else wants to write their homebrew.

That's not what I'm arguing though. I'm arguing about prerequisites. No where in any of those feats does it say you must have that gear to take the feat. You can be proficient in something without having it. And as for 'having a bad day', no, arguing about pedantic differences is fun for me.

[SorO_Lost]

No where in any of those feats does it say you must have that gear to take the feat.

I take it you haven't read Weapons of Legacy or heard of the amazing Planar Touchstone Feat?

Also this is homebrew, it's entire point is to invent new stuff you don't have in the official rule set.

Nope, never seen them. Just looked 'em up, and huh, so they do. Point conceded.

[YuweaCurtis]

Okay so I plan on making some additions here, but I'm wondering some things :

Should I make changes to the weapons due to the new Area changes?
What should I do for Tier VI? Some convoluted attempt at 00 Raiser?
Opinions about Exia line mechs at other tiers? Like should I make Avalanche as an actual model?
Should I make a weaker GN Drive for the lower tiers?
