(OOC) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

[Brother Shatterstone]

Actually, I was thinking about playing original characters.

Okay, well then give me the 16 wheeler then. (I gots me a name already! Jackknife )

Or I could probably for a cement mixer…

 

[Kalanyr]

Oooh Cool. I can go with that. I have an idea, and can someone explain what sum to 15 means ? Since I thought mechamorphosis used standard d20 stats and a sum of 15 seems to yield some disappointing stats.

Edit - looked at previous all is good now.

We will be doing something like the original series story but it will have some quirks and twists to the story that will hopefully make it our own story.

One thing... Are we using the original Decepticons? I think it would be insanely cool if we did.

This is to confirm my interest, if my bump post didn't do the job. As for my autobot, If we go with original names. I'm thinking Firefly, if adaptations Bluestreak. Either way he would be a large sportcar autobot.

 

[Kalanyr]

I'm thinking of going with a Large Bot that transforms into a Katana, Bushido. Any one interested in wielding a fellow bot?

Well... I was thinking today when I had gone out (after my last post) that if you did want to pilfer the name and personality of an existing Autobot from the earlier series, what the heck. I had been thinking it might be rather difficult to build the characters properly but I came to the important decision that it didn't really matter. Just make them how you think they ought to be made for that character, after all... this will be an alternate universe type of deal. Feel free to make something completely original too or, if you like, use some from a character and add in your own stuff. Just have fun with the character.

I should be posting character creation rules later tonight.

Bushido is a great name.

***EDIT***

And, to answer the question... yes we will be facing off against all of the old Deceptibums from the show, with a few surprises themselves.

3) I think that I am opposed to any of our Autobots being larger than Gargantuan but I prefer Large or Huge.

Just got home and I'm really looking through the book now... Is a tracker trailer okay? (It’s Gargantuan)

 

[Kalanyr]

Um what on earth is up with Special Powers? A 4th level spell is a Rank 5 power, Energy Drain 1/day per character level (reduce in range to touch, but losing the Attack of Opportunity) is also a Rank 5 power. How is Fire Shield, Stone Skin or even Divine Power equal to that, at 1st level it (Energy Drain) is an instant death attack if it hits. Hopefully I'm reading it wrong.

This is a rough sketch I just put together, Bushido is going to multiclass to Soldier at level 3 (otherwise I spend level 2 with +0 BAB (bleah), assuming we even level). If no one is interested in putting together a bot capable of wielding a katana, I have a couple of other ideas I can go with. Don't have much of a background yet, but I do have an appearance but no time to type it. Anywho, /me flees to maths.
