[QUOTE="Dias Ex Machina, post: 4434823, member: 58907"] So, here is how we set it up. We got this huge 4 foot by 8-foot table in the middle of my living room. On it is a huge 9-foot long wet-erase grid-sheet that also doubles as our dungeon and combat grid-map (yes, which is as awesome as it sounds). On that, we have written each of our four techan classes with lines for each power level (Encounter, Daily, Utility). Then we have printed up 200+ techan powers and are assigning them locations. Several (actually a quite a few) will carry over to several different classes. This is not due because of laziness but because all the techan classes share a core concept. In the world of fantasy, techans must work together. I will have more for the weekend 'cause I wanted techan classes ready for testing by Monday. We are still finalizing the names to. I have a few of my favorite powers below... [B]System Shock[/B] Attack The creature has no idea how deadly your last strike was. It continues wandering about the battlefield, unaware of the level of pain it’s about to experience when the shock wears off. Daily * Martial, Sniper, Weapon Standard Action Ranged Weapon Target: One creature Attack: Dexterity vs. AC Hit: 1 [W] + Dexterity modifier damage and the creature is dazed (save ends) Effect: The moment the target stops being dazed, it takes an additional 4 [W] damage. [B]Meat Shield [/B] Utility You can see the dilated pupils of the enemy in front. Before the body slumps to the soil, you grab its shoulder and hold it up as cover. Encounter * Martial Free Action Melee Touch Requirement: You must have killed a medium sized creature in an adjacent square this round. Effect: You hold the target in place. It provides cover. Only you can gain the effects of the shield. The meat shield cannot move but you can move around it. You can only use one-handed small arms while holding onto the shield. Sustain Minor: If you let go, the meat shield drops. [B]Use the Mil Dot[/B] Utility You balance every aspect of your weapon, including compensating for range, gravity and wind. Daily * Martial, Sniper, Weapon Standard Action Personal Effect: Double both the normal and the long range of your weapon until the end of your round. [B]Natural Healer[/B] Field Expert Utility There’s an arrow in your head. Whatever you do, don’t laugh. Encounter (Special) * Healing, Martial Standard Action Melee touch Special: You can use Natural Healer as many times during an encounter as your Wisdom modifier. Requirement: You must be trained in Heal. Target: You or one ally. Effect: You or the ally can spend a healing surge and regain additional hit points equal to the total skill bonus of your Heal skill. [/QUOTE]
