[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 4646573, member: 1231"] I guess it was inevitable that I was not the only one who would think of how the 4e system could be made to work for mecha games. While I did not do a ton on thinking on it though, the only thing that really came to mind was that I would probably allow powers to be changed out during any refit or resupply, as they could often be described as special weapons instead of special powers. Actually, I would perhaps ditch the class system for a mech system, and let people just use whatever non-mech powers they wanted. Especially if you were making starship classes, I do not think there would be much point in using all eight classes. I think I would go with Fighter, Ranger, Warlord and Wizard. Though personally, I would probably use custom ship classes based on roles. The Will Defense would not be used for attack effects that actually caused damage, of course, but for status effects perhaps. [/QUOTE]
