Ah, right. I need to memorize the PHB, so I can stop asking all these questions that I should know. Sorry for taking up extra time from people.

Posted shortly after Reese. Oops.

Really? Could you point me to the rule that says an enemy can fall into multiple categories? Haven't seen it around, but I have no doubt that it exists. I've learned to trust the rules knowledge of the people on this board.

Got it. I was mainly asking because for Favored Enemy, you have to choose a creature type. Undead-construct and plant-construct are completely new creature types, and not templates. I agree that if you're able to choose "mech" as a creature type, or even specific kinds of mechs, then it ma...

Okay, then in that spirit: What's the effect of Favored Enemy on constructs made from organic steel or necrotic steel? Does Favored Enemy (undead) work on undead-constructs? Does Favored Enemy (construct)? Or, since it's a completely new type, do you have to get a completely new Favored Enemy for it?

#1: Right, point taken. #2: I don't think that's a bad tradeoff, especially considering that the clockwork Craft (mechcraft) DC is so much higher than a steam-powered mech. As for smoke . . . it really depends how deep you're planning to delve in this thing. #3: Yeah, but if the mech fails a save fo...

Oh, and while in the Mech-in-a-Box, a mech jockey cannot use magic items to affect his combat prowess easily, while in hydraulic armor he can. Use of the Mech-in-a-Box is therefore only recommended for low-level, low-magic, or low-wealth characters.

Seems to be fairly useful. Definitely better than wandering around on foot, except for a couple of problems. First, if you're piloting this thing, you'd better know how to make unarmed attacks with a mech effectively. With no melee weapon (not even a normal-sized one), a Mech-in-a-Box will be very h...

Okay, now that the issue with awakened mechs has been mostly resolved, can anyone tell me about the extender? It gives no time for it to work in Steam Warriors, but the folder in the core book says that a folder takes 1d6 rounds to fold or unfold an object.

That's a good point for the rotation. I was forgetting some of the mech rules and the rules for flying creatures. :oops: Guess I need to reread all of my books again. I shouldn't miss something as big as that. I've never really done mech combat much before. Most of my PCs have been focused on not dy...

Even though 3.5 doesn't have specific facing rules, it's pretty easy to keep track of front and back, left side and right side. I agree with the "twisting and turning" logic when it comes to individual combatants, but it doesn't seem to me that most mechs would be maneuverable enough to d...

Just curious about whether there'll be detail about the monks of the Saint, and what the Saint actually is (DCC 12.5: Iron Crypt of the Heretics). It seems like something that could go either way, either being too small to warrant an in-depth overview, or big enough to get a place in the pantheon. T...

So, you all getting sick of my questions yet? In the description of the Steam Jack feat (Steam Warriors, pg. 16-17), it says "Each day you are in a gear forest, you do not need to maintain your steam powers." Does this mean that a coglayer with that feat can maintain an infinite number of ...

All right. I guess I can forego putting that specific feature into the class. As for making intelligent guesses, it would work just fine, usually. Problem is, I'm trying to write this stuff as if it was for a person who had nothing besides the SRD and the DragonMech books. Mostly so I can actually f...

Ah, okay. Nightbringer is in area 1-17D, which is a different area from the one listed. Easy mistake. The idea of a hammer of cancellation is good. I just keep hearing "And when it arrives? Ah ha ha ha! I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant I tell you!"

The clockworks were just a natural extension of the idea, and a fun way to include some punch for the Dragonmech kids. Well it worked.

Cool idea. The idea of blending machinery and technology is a winner concept, it just has to be written carefully.
