[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8725807, member: 50895"] Had a friend who was big-time into minitiatures gaming - mostly Warhammer 40K and Battletech. We did get him to play D&D once, but he wasn't a fan. We never played WH, but he did get us to play Battletech, which we ran for about 6 months. Because our friend was trying hard to get us to like the game, in the beginning he helped custom design some mechs based on our ideas. The mech we designed for me, I called the Werewolf, which included Claws (as a physical weapon), which at the time didn't exist as an option - another BT release did include Claws eventually, and the claws we designed turned out to work with the new rules (no changes needed with 5 tons and 5 crits per claw). I built a 75 ton bipedal mech, with triple-strength myomer for internal structure (we built both an Inner Sphere and Clan version, both work, though the Clan version is better). It's got jump jets. As a 75 ton mech it's movement with jump jets was a 3/4/5 mech, until you achieve "Heat" then it's a 5/8/5 mech. Until you took some damage, this mech design had perfect movement, and weapons to achieve Heat, no matter which option it required. If I remember right the Inner Sphere version had 6 medium lasers, 3 per side torso, and 1 small laser in it's head.
