[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1222894, member: 1368"] Honestly I started a system like this then sort of lost focus, but here is what I did. I did all new classes that more or less where like. commander, Mech pilot, Scout, Field commander etc. What the did is as you gained levels you were allowed bigger better mechs. the scouts mechs never got over like 40 tons and the commandeers went up to the 100 tonners which I always thought of as the Command Vehicles. The field commander got units of ground troups/protomechs elementals etc. so the higher their level the mor ground pounders they commanded. Mech pilots more or less could specialize in weapons (ppg's versus LRm's etc) I was gonna redo the mechs and all in d20 and I think that is were a got lazy. I was gonna keep it all Battle tech with those mech names history and weapons and just convert. I wish I had typed up the notes and I wold have been able to send them to you but I rmember I had like 8 classes and such since I was gonna focus more on repairing and salvaging mechs. Scouts had some nasty sneak attack ability and commandeers got bonuses to leading people. I had feats for mechs and such that could up your tonnage allowed etc. It was all half formed ideas as you can tell. [/QUOTE]
