Transformable Mech

Ok. This wound up being more difficult than I imagined. It is truly challenging to select, trim down, re-edit, and eliminate certain powers to fit for a 150 pts character while still saving points for Attributes, Advantages, and Skills.

Here’s the preliminary version of the Armor/Mech. Feel free to adjust and inquiry as much as you like.

I based these powers assuming you’re playing Tech Hero(Archetype)/Heavy(Background)

All powers have the following Flaw: Power Armor (+3)

*Armor AR: X(4 vs. Energy) – Rank 5(8); 11pts

Element/Energy Blast: Plasma Rifle (Removable Item based of Ranged Skill, External Power Source +2) (d10) – Rank 3(8); 6pts; 4 burnout; Range: 8

*Enhanced Attack (Limitation: Only in Robot mode +1) Robotic hands (d10) – Rank 3(7); 4pts

*Enhanced Attribute: Mi (Limitation: Only in Robot mode +1) +5 Mi – Rank 4(8); 7pts

Speed (Limitation: Only in Vehicle mode +1) +4 Pace – Rank 4(8); 10pts

Total Points: 38

* = Primary powers (given from Archetype and Background).

You can probable make use of the Linked Flaw to add additional ranks or shave off points off a power to save towards the other categories (Attributes, Advantages, and/or Skills).

I suppose I could just put a “permanent” limitation tweak on Growth but how much does it really limit the suit?

It shouldn’t be to bad, worse case is that you lose -1 to your avoidance due to the mech’s size (while granting you a boon to your Mi’s die damage). There are roleplaying aspects you’ll have to contend with as well (Can’t get into places with the mech a normal sized individual can. The impact it will have on people when they see a large sized robot walking about, the attention you will draw from Z’s/Super Z’s, etc, etc, etc). I imagine the bonus gained will be about a +1 (no burnout cost, but you don’t also go through the act of growing into a large being nor shrink down to a normal one). Ultimately it will be up to the Chronicler running the game.
