(OOC) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

I guess he's saying he's a pickup suv. So he has a open cargo area. Where as Jack Knife does not. Unless you count the fifth wheel.

Nah, he's an enclosed SUV, but my point was I didn't know if Jackknife has a trailer or not. If he doesn't, the only storage space that he has is his cab, which usually remains intact from transformations (again, not certain, but BS hasn't written up any transformation information). If the cab remains in one piece, then Bushido would be stuck inside, whereas I know Stickshift's cargo area opens up during transformation, leaving Bushido either on the ground or in Stickshift's hands.

Ahh makes a bit more sense... I don't ever see Jackknife carrying humans... I see his arms coming out of the cab with his hand forming out of the grill. Though his sleeping quarters would be able to hold a human... Except that's the bulk of his body in his primary form so I don't see anyone fitting there or want to be there.

Where as Jack Knife does not.

Well he also has two humans he'll need to deal with when he transforms so I was rather just curious.

If the DM doesn't have any issue with Bushido fitting inside Jackknife than neither do I.

(Anyhow, On a side note I do not think I'm going to get Jackknife done tonight... I hurt my back playing basketball, yet again, so I think after I finish this post and my next post... IC this game, that I'm going to take a muscle relaxers, their pretty potent and I don't think I'll have the ability to write something comprehendible to others or to myself when tomorrow comes.)

Well, this is just dealt with by the expedient method of opening the doors and saying 'get out'. The humans are self mobile. Weapon form Bushido is not.

True enough, I see a lot of transformations by Jackknife being at a high rate of speed and not very friendly on a human's body.

V, question for you, how do you want to deal with damage to those within a transformer that's also damaged?

 

[rangerjohn]

Well, unless he changes something else, thats already in the book. They take half damage. As for quick changes, that is a danger for those of us with On The Move. I mean that is the point of the ability.

Okay in a moment of drug induced clarity I realized something I should have know for quite some time…

Theirs no need to pick up the Exotic Archaic feat, at least not to wield Bushido as Bushido can transfer a feat over and one NEED not meet the prerequisites, so he can give weapon focus, which seems to me would give the exotic weapon feat also… (Obviously this is the DMs call.)

I also updated some of Jackknife's character sheet, though admiting not as much as I wanted to or planed too... I missed the feat he got from soldier level to so picking up Vehicle Charging wasn't hard to do at all.

Ok... posted the revised version of the story in the first two posts of the RP thread. Its nearly twice as long... just remember, you asked for it

Okay, I'm not sure how clear I was when I wrote that... Improved Sunder requires Power Attack... I wouldn't give power attack along with Improved Sunder...

Kal, Jackknife was more worried about getting as many Transformers in the Shipyard before hand. With only one pass and the ability for a two for one deal it’s for the best. This way no one gets stuck 3 against 1 or what not. (Translation stick close to Stickshift.)

V, noon sounds good, but I do have plans for a post before then... (In case I'm running behind.)

How are the combat sequences? I hope you are enjoying this so far. Any suggestions on how I can make it better?

 

[hafrogman]

I'm enjoying them.

A couple of notes about the missile launcher though. 1) I can't fire in the same round as I get the lock, but since I missed the second time, and presumably had enough time the first, it's of no matter right now. 2) The book doesn't say what happens when a missile misses it's target. I see two possibilities. Either it over flies and attempts to return before it runs out of fuel (in 10 rounds), or else it explodes as a grenade-like weapon with it's standard explosive radius and effects
