new lunar monsters - suggestion

I had an idea the other day on how to easily create new and interesting lunar monsters for use in the dragonmech setting. The Pseudonatural template. I cant remember which monster book its from but the pseudonatural template turns a creature into something from the Far Realm. Based on current monste...

Re: WHAT IF (possible dragonmech plot)

After re-reading the mech manual for a bit today it seems the 'Razid', the derro made obelisk mech, seems designed for some similar purpose. one could easily work the mind flayer edge in. Maybe Razid mechs are designed to help the elder minds focus their telekinetic powers on key points in the surfa...

dragonmech battles - rpg book mechs

while having a slew of new mech figures to work with will certainly be fun... i think it will also be important to include figures to represent the mechs that any established dragonmech players will be familiar with. my groups obsolete old bastion is still their mech of choice, and as an amusing des...

WHAT IF (possible dragonmech plot)

What if Mind Flayers are actually lunar creatures... who came to the planet hundreds and hundreds of years ago to begin preliminary preparations for the divine assault being launched by the lunar gods. What if they have been preparing their elder minds not just as repositories of knowledge, but as g...

some more ideas for CwB

Armor Proficiencies: Light, bucklers, small shields [clockwork borgs are designed to be more fast and sleek than their steampowered counterparts, and thus tend to favor lighter armors] Weapon Proficiencies: rapier, shortsword, kukri, simple weapons [clockwork borgs are trained in basic weapons, and...

some information from arek, from another thread

some good ideas and guidelines for the CwB here. i reposted to aid in compiling. I'll try to skirt around outright describing the steamborg here, but I think some mirroring might be in order for the Steamborg/clockborg. The steamborg gains a class feature starting at level 4, and improves on it at 6...

well, YEAH they'd have to be retty massive, but that goes right along with the feel of dragonmech anyway IMO, everything bigger and badder.

The Clockwork Borg (CwB)

here's some preliminary stuff i've come up with for the clockwork borg variant mentioned in another thread * clockwork engine: requires no fuel or water; does require 1 hr of winding and maintenance each day or borg begins to lose special abilities; does not produce smoke like the regular borgs stea...

Re: ideas

Yeah, I was thinking about doing it too, and had the same thought process. To do it the way I think it should be done, it's really just a steamborg variant and not really a class unto itself. Although I was thinking the clockborg wouldn't get steam powers. After all, they're not running on a steam ...

single pilot mechs

Part of it's the mech, but a lot of it is the pilot. You can do a lot with a even a weak mech. But since you raised the issue, you could: -Have them stay in single-pilot mechs, which get repairs and upgrades, and maybe they get some upgraded mechs, or, heck just new mechs. Maybe they get so much st...

treads

Yeah, treads on rough terrain = owie. It would work well enough for short and long mechs (like tanks) but with your average mech, which is much taller than it is long, and has a higher center of gravity, it would tumble in a heartbeat. i see mechs with treads lookiung something like johnny five fro...

ideas

im working on it, i'm not sure HOW different to make the clockwork borg from the standard steamborg though. my tendency is to make is a slight variant, keeping artificial parts and steam powers intact, and modifying some of the specials they get over time. i'll post it once i get the time to put som...

clockwork borgs... hmmmm

If you've seen the movie Hellboy , isn't the concept of Kroenen interesting? A friend and I thought about writing a Clockborg whose augmentations run off of Dragonmech clockwork and he has to wind himself up to keep himself going and give himself a quick boost in power. Although the Ghostgear is si...

limits verses expansion

The catch is that unless a feat specifically says "You can take this feat more than once", you can only take it once. That means you can only take the Artificial Parts feat once and get an extra part once, period. In a non-E6 game I'd probably house-rule that feat to allow people to take ...

capstone

as far as tactical feats though there's always the possibility of creating a capstone feat to allow you to qualify for it, but that type of capstone feat may be limited to characters with dedicated martial/ilitary training, like fighters. kindof like: Martial Veteran (General) (comrade_raoul) Prereq...

this is exactly what i was hoping for; a little editing to smooth out the rough edges and i'd say it'd be well suited for addition into future printings :)

a concern about feats and stacking:

a small concern cropped us during play in my recently converted e6 dragonmech campaign. my steamborg player just took his first level in barbarian, primarily so he could qualify for the Piston Rage feat as detailed in the Shardsfall Quest. In summary the feat adds additional strength equal to the ar...
