I think #1 would be my preference, although if you do go with #2, I would make the steam jet attack a touch attack. Right. I was kind of assuming that the steam jet would be a touch attack. The weapon description does specify that it works just like a steambreather, so I was thinking of keeping wit...

If you end managing to find space for "mech feats" (such as well-coordinated crew), "mage jockey pilot" would be nice. One or two extra abilities as long as you have a mech jockey piloting it. Or should it be a sorcerer? We've talked about something very like this. Certain kinds...

Quoting the steam weapon adept's Steam Weapon Mastery : " Other steam weapons: Steam weapon adepts can gain mastery in other steam weapons not on this list. The player and the GM can work together to come up with an appropriate ability, or the character can simply get both the Weapon Focus and ...

All right. Seems like there's consensus that we should just leave the planar cosmology fuzzy and unimportant. And especially leave the moon as just a regular hunk of rock. Which works pretty well, other than the question about why lunar creatures aren't made of the four elements, but close yet stran...

Among all the sources I've read so far (everything except Rumors and Lies), I haven't been able to find much info on the planar cosmology in DragonMech. Just that the Astral or Ethereal (I forget which) sort of surrounds the Prime and connects it to the other planes. And that maybe these other plane...

I'd like to see the Death Knight and Death Walker myself. There aren't enough undead mechs, if you ask me.

Sure, they can have a hive-city in the mountains. Although thri-kreen strike me as more the nomadic tribes sort than the city-hive builders. Traditional dromites seem better suited for that angle.

Looking over psionics due to the Firefly debate going on, I'd have to say it'd be fun to play with: -Psychic Warrior -Elocator -Dromites I'll definitely keep these in mind the next time I'm offered a game to play in... If you want to go dromite, you could use the latest explanation from Psionics in...

Cool. You know, I saw someone on another forum insert music. She embedded a hypertext link in a music-themed emoticon. Whatever the site she linked to was, it then opened up Windows Media Player for brief audio clips. She employed it in her farewell fanfic - one thematically appropriate song clip fo...

Oh wow. Thri-kreen megamonks can definitely do a lot. It doesn't get broken until you throw in some warblade levels focusing on Tiger Claw maneuvers. It's from Tome of Battle, basically, you get a bunch of martial arts maneuvers that you kind of use like spells, but they're all for melee. The Tiger...

Howdy Omni! I'm not sure what use the jump could be other than movement, and as a massive aid in scouting. But I like the idea of a 'kreen attaching itself to a mech, stowing away until it gets whatever information it is looking for. After all, with 4 claws and massively powerful legs, sticking one...

Oh, this is slightly off-topic, but since this is your thread, I might as well tell you I enjoyed the Psionics in Dragonmech thread. Because, you know, love Psionics and would like to see them done justice in Dragonmech and all that. Especially the Thri-keen (who are one of the races I aspire to pl...

I'd wondered if we'd get to see the famous psionics-in-DragonMech person here. Welcome aboard! Ironically enough, just a few minutes ago I finished a (hopefully final) revision to the rules for putting special characters like sorcerers into boarding parties. It's kinda tricky to integrate individua...

Could you post some stats on the mechs? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen an asp or typhoon in the books (although I don't have all). If their in the books, please, give book and pg#. They are not in any of the RPG books. We have so far been creating entirely new mechs for DMB, though I'm sure by the ...

I like the idea of mech crews doing special things, so I have to ask: What about mech crew feats? Like, say, a crew of a Colossal III mech has been together for a good while and work well together, enabling them to reload faster or coax more performance from their mech (like more speed, or cut a ti...

I'm glad to hear about the specialist crew. Please tell me the elves will have some sort of battlemage capable of being part of their boarding party. Please :mrgreen: Also, I'd like to point out I've never done any sort of minis game before, and I haven't even been all that interested. Until now. Dr...

Yeah, the being able to psychic strike mindless stuff is one of the key features of the class - very specifically, it still gives you a little something to do outside of mech battles. Think of it as one of a series of attempts to un-nerf the soulknife. Give me a little time, and I think I'll be intr...

One guess where I got my name. Anyway, here goes: Everyone knows the legend of the Irontooth clans and mech fu. The tribes were born of the union of monks and rough-and-tumble barbarians, and the first group brought their knowledge of the martial arts and sparring matches. With the rise of mechs, th...
