[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3935632, member: 39593"] To flesh out the concepts Tech Striker: Sniper) Start with just an accurate rifle, then add new gadgets that allow character to see through various sorts of obscuring battlefield conditions. Up the size of the rifle with level to something that does more damage> I can definitely see a high level steampunk sniper with a massive AMR in the vein of the NTW supported by anti-recoil braces strapped to the arms and torso. Clockwork heat-seeking bullets. Tech Defender: Mechanaut) Begin with a suit of powered plate armor constantly added to with increased levels. Throw in heavier appliqué armor, stronger servos that boost strength more. At tier changes their can be a basic chassis upgrade that allows the armor to reach alarger form.

Tech Leader: Industrialist) This one I'm kind of running short on, it's hard to think of usable in-game powers of umm "mass production?" Tech Controller: Mad-Scientist?)
