[QUOTE="Astrosicebear, post: 7659269, member: 67017"] 1. Plating would work fine in 5e. As beings made for war they were crafted to be instruments of destruction. Remember the time of their creation during a world war. So yes it makes sense there were plenty of walking suits of armor, they were the army for a nation. I love the idea of a thief stealing their bodies, thats a plot goldmine right there. Adamantine plating simply becomes "Heavy Plating" and grants a static AC, no dex bonus, treated as heavy armor and maybe DR 2. 2. Puss case. Id have to really think on that one, but with 5e's lack of crafting, it kinds throws it for a loop. I think it would make an excellent class by itself. 3. Background would grant House Membership. As part of the background an option allows a character to forgo any 1 ability score increase to gain a Least Mark. This can occur then for any character at 1st level and beyond. Marks can be increased by continuing to forgo an ability score increase. Feats are available for this choice as well, with added benefit. Level caps ensure that marks are only acquired at appropriate levels. So at 1st level I normally get +2 dex and +1 to str or con, lets say. I forgo the Con and take a least mark. At 4th I get +1 to 2 or +2 to one. I take +1 con to offset and forgo another +1 con and move to a lesser mark. [/QUOTE]
