Message: <blockquote data-quote="DnDChick" data-source="post: 3674964" data-attributes="member: 54">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 your roll of +4 per size category above Medium. Elegantly enough, this is the same bonus you'd get if you did use the size change rules to increase the Strength score.That way, you can still represent a high strength without also having a high bonus to damage and melee attacks.So, that's what I plan to do.Large: +4 bonus on Strength checks.Huge: +8 bonus on Strength checks.Gargantuan: +12 bonus on Strength checks.Colossal: +16 bonus on Strength checks.Immense: +20 bonus on Strength checks.One problem solved.Now, the issue with hit points... I'll (pardon the expression) grind my gears over that for a little while longer.Also, some ideas are rolling in from the players. No names as of yet, but so far the ideas include:A garbage truck Controller, whose companion is a big garbage can that transforms into a dogA motorcycle (with sidecar) soldier who is a sniper. The sidecar may or may not be made into a companion.A police car soldier who is a melee combat expert. The police lightbar turns into a power sword.An animech of some kind.The Tyrants I've come up with so far are:Gravesite and Tombstone, a hearse/casket Controller.Blackhat, a device massmorpher that transforms into a wireless router (gawd I am SUCH a geek...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> ). He has the special power suggestion, which lets him assume limited control over enemy robots.Backlash, a backhoe with the extra form special ability to transform into a scorpion. (The front bucket splits into the forward claws, and the hoe inverts to form the scorpion tail).</blockquote>
