(OOC) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

[rangerjohn]

Yes I am enjoying all your post immensly Vendetta. As far as that goes I'm enjoying them all. Would want anyone to feel slighted just because they hadn't asked for a critique.

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

1) Yes. I had assumed, as Brother Shatterstone had, that it took at least one extra round for the jets to get turned around and heading back. Since they fly 1320mph, they get well out of range for a decent shot in that interveining round... so I promply ignored it.

2) I'm assuming the missile keeps chasing after them but it could crash into the side of the cliffs... so don't get your hopes up. (It will be a roll vs. their maneuverability... uh... anyone know what that is?

I'm thinking the description is excellent.

My new and improved Stickshift Pics. I hope you guys like them, I spent far more time working on the model than I should have

 

[Vendetta]

HA! That's great. About as close to a transformer drawing I get is doing the "create your own transformer" "game" from the Hasbro site.

 

[Kalanyr]

Sweet, I wish I could make models half that well.

from the RP thread
* I've never really given thought to how making an unarmed strike with the power affects the +3 bonus against metal targets. Your call, +5 or +8 attack

The +3 is for the power, not the actual unarmed strike. So, if you miss with your attack, but miss by 3 or less off of the AC then the electricity arcs to the metal and will score that damage, at least.

 

[hafrogman]

good compromise. Thanks.

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

Oh I'm enjoying them quite alot! I just wish my own posting wasn't so spotty this week... Between the drugs I'm taking for my back, and my workload at work I've just been swamped... The good news is that my back fills better each day and one of my lackeys comes back from school on Tuesday, Monday is a holiday, so I'll have the weekend to get caught up and I shouldn't be falling behind next week.

Things of note:

Jackknife does have the Exotic Archaic feat to wield Bushido one handed... (Though I see him using Bushido mostly as a two handed weapon.) Consider this official, we've started combat so I don't feel right changing or swapping feats anymore.)

Also I'm curious as to rather or not Vehicle Charging was added to the damage result on Impact, I don't have my book in front of me but I'm pretty sure this feat allows you to transfer some of your movement into damage. (As I said I don't have my book in front of me so I could be wrong. )

hafrogman, awesome work on the new artwork. So do you have plans to do the whole team?

I'll have a finished Jackknife up soon, but I think all the mechanics is done; now I just need to write everything else... I see him being rather quite, not truly shy just rather involved in his own thoughts.

I'm not totally opposed to the idea, but since I created Stickshift, I knew that the image of him in my head was the right one. So, I'm willing to take requests, but I'd need 1) a lot of time 2) good, scale pictures of the alternate form (like Jackknife's pictures, but preferably full on front and full on side shots rather than 3/4 view, or numerical statistics on the vehicle along with more general pictures. 3) your opinion on how the alt form splits up to create the robot.
