BLACKHAT “Your mind doesn’t matter.” Back on MechaTerra, Blackhat was a computer networking specialist and top-level data spy. Since his arrival on Earth, he has found his job all the easier thanks to primitive human technology. Although he despises his boxy, inefficient-looking alt form, he is...

A friend of mine just suggested a simple and elegant way of handling the strength discrepancy problem. Extra melee damage is already taken care of with the increased damage due to size. To handle other matters of Strength, such as when you need to make a Strength check, simply apply a bonus to...

I might swipe some of Vendetta's changes for my own game, if it ever happens. As for how fragile the characters can be, what about importing the bonus HP rules for the Construct type. Construct Size Bonus Hit Points Construct Size Bonus Hit Points Fine —...

Thanks! These were a great read. Sounds like you had fun while it lasted. :)

Form feats can be used to buy extra gear slots. If someone finds themselves short on gear points to spend on weapons or tech gear they can drop a few form feats into Gear Slots. It's also a good way to beef up a sagging Armor Class brough about by increased size with the Armor Boost form feat...

Tinkering with a slightly more complex build. This time a controller. GRAVESITE “Your death? My pleasure!” Gravesite is a Tyrant assassin who takes great pleasure in the appearance of his alt form — that of a big, black hearse. This is a ‘bot without mercy, and perhaps even without emotion...

It's the same issue that one runs into in any "superpowered" game. How does one balance out ultra-high strength with everyone else? The way I see it, my idea of using the size change rules has some merits. *It lets you use d20 Modern rules for human characters and so on without the need for...

I tried out my idea, and the characters gain some HP and a significant bonus to AC and to melee attack rolls and damage. The attack bonus is balanced out somewhat by the AC boost, but the increase in HP isn’t really enough to counter it. Still, mechamorphs get that DR 10/nexus energy trait...

Thanks! I'll read those later when I have a chance. I'm at work now. :lol: I think the first hole I see that needs plugging is the size and strength disparity. Do you think it would be a problem to nix the Strength rules in the book and go back to regular values? My idea is that the 8 base...

Hmm... I also just noticed that the soldier class has the 3/4 level attack bonus advancement. I wonder if that's on purpose or errata? Most combat types in d20 have an attack bonus equal to level. For now, I'll assume its on purpose. I've adjusted Punchbug's attack line accordingly.

You can get the PDf for $5 here: http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=8704&src=RPGShop Heehee... thanks. The guy who wants me to run this said the same thing. (I think he should actually run it, since he's the big Transformers fan, but he wants to play, not run. lol) I just...

I might scale Roadtrip down to Huge size. Checking the stats of the Sightseer, it's only 26 feet long. Granted that's a big RV, but it's well within the Huge size category. That will help his AC and combat a little by decreasing his size penalty.

Here's another one. I think I'm getting the hang of it. :) I do find it a little odd that your size has no bearing on your Strength score. In fact, if you make size a priority, you have even fewer points to spend on ability scores. I guess it works out for balance purposes, but it still "feels"...

Ok, a friend of mine wants me to try to run a Mechamorphosis one-shot, so I am trying to learn the rules. It all seems pretty straightforward, but I'd like some input from others who might be more experienced with the system. Here's my first attempt at a character to get a feel for the rules...

That's now how you do a "fireball" in True20, though. You need Fire Shaping and Elemental Blast. That's it. Move Object never enters into it. You don't have to make a Fire Shaping check to get a fireball, or increase the size of it. Increasing the size of the fireball is for manipulating...

Green Ronin is going to make good for all those who missed the free day due to server crashes. Free RPG week: http://greenronin.com/2007/06/lets_make_that_free_rpg_week.php

AH! Ok! :) Briefly, without posting the entire power description here: "You can shift yourself 'out of phase' with the material world, becoming incorporeal. You are unaffected by the material world, able to pass through solid objects and creatures and move in any direction, including up or...

The skills and feats might turn out differently, because True20 doesn't use class skills and allows a feat per level. Pick a class and or multiclass and I'll see what I can do.

Ah, I get it now. That power is best reflected in my True20 version with the Phasing power. I've given it to him as a bonus power.
