[QUOTE="Enumclaw, post: 5544860, member: 6674959"] Could still really use some help with all these skills. I tried taking devices crafted via Steamworks and putting it into a different skill from Iron Kingdoms, however the Crafting DCs don't translate very well. For instance, Craft Clockwork has three types: a Simple, a Complex, and an Advanced. The DC starts at 15 and increases by 10 each level. While Craft Steamwork has DC checks to create going up by 2 each time. I'm getting the feeling I won't be able to easily merge these systems and might need to simply pick one or the other. I like the multiple Craft skills, Servitor designs, and customizable Jacks from Iron Kingdoms. However the Mechanika craft skill rules get confusing, and aside from the constructs there aren't many items to use. With Steam and Steel I like the multitude of gadgets to choose from, the vehicles, and the differing materials. However the constructs are essentially monsters with a build DC and have not much to customize. Unless I'm missing something it also seems there isn't even a Knowledge skill for Steamwork devices. It's starting to drive me crazy because the Character can't be finished with skills and I can't really move onto obtaining mechanical equipment. [/QUOTE]
