Cockpits usually have some breathing space, this one is one of... I'd say more typical or medium ones? Some mechs have I'd say a power rangers Megazord sized room I'd say while mechs with the cramped cockpit trait are obviously smaller.
>>
>>97358591
Agreed, going full XIN SHENG was the worst that happened to Liao. Sun Tzu getting them a few wins was cool at first, you have to give them something to be actually useful as antagonists, but then they went overboard and went full china which made the faction less interesting. They should've stayed the underdog that simply knew they can't win against other houses in a fair fight so they fortified the shit out of their worlds, learned to play dirty vietnam-style and managed to have a few stealth technology breakthroughs out of desperation. I did like the abolishment of the servitor class tho, I know I said I liked them being schizo assholes but there has to be something nice I can say about them once in a while.

I am still of a mind that while Battlemechs are king, good air support is something to have. Fighter-Bombers that can drop laser guided munitions or can fly around and flank with heavy-hitting Autocannons and missiles, that sort. Still spitballing. Thinking most would be SPR-6D Sparrowhawks, LTN-16T Lightnings, with a singular Xerxes for when shit hits the fan.

I like to think that only their best lance would have Clan Tech, or even Clan Mechs, with the rest of the company given a good set of high tech but IS-Based weaponry and battlemechs. No introtech mechs here.

Saved. Honestly I might boot up MWO just so I can see the Commando's cockpit and use that as a reference.

OP said level 5 players, they have level 3 spell slots. And most modern DnD DMs only run one combat encounter per adventuring day anyway, so it's not like caster fags ever have to worry about actually running out of spell slots. (Most casterfags don't even keep track of their spell slots anyway.)

Then again this all just circles back to the point >>97355007 made about DnD 5e/5.5e combat being an unfun tedious slog where any more than one combat encounter per session is honestly torture.

In 5e, Mimics only have 58 HP. Fireball does an average of 30ish points of damage if I recall correctly. Two fireballs and everything in the encounter is dead except the ghost.

>Look up Ghosts
>They have even LESS HP somehow at 45, despite being double the CR of the Mimic.
>No resistance to magical damage either

OK, yeah, two fireballs just wipes the entire encounter. To say nothing for shit like Hypnotic Pattern that could lock down the entire encounter with ONE casting if the caster is lucky. Great game-design.

Also to be clear the Primordials, Yozis and Neverborn do come off as massive, petty cunts. It is just that they are cunts with a sense of grandeur, wonder and genuine passion (their love for music and dance) that through the magic of White Wolf writing, is somehow completely absent from the Exalted.

Like, if you ask me who’s COOLER between the fallen titans and the Twilight who cursed an entire kingdom because Low Key stole his ho, or Raksi, I’m going to vote for the Yozi 9 times out of 10. And on the 10th time, I will at least acknowledge the Ebon Dragon is more upfront about being a villain than Desus.

If you're a mech player a pair of vultarax is a great investment, massive annoyances to the pesky dreadnoughts and kratoses, super durable compared to their cost, and in the late game if your opponent has failed to deal with them they can switch to easily status blasting and charging their backline tac squads to deny them the last few turns of scoring

That's you lacking taste, vultarax are super cool. Progenitors to the blight drones, but bigger and bulkier.

Pretty sure that elves have some kind of learning disability to need to spend hundreds of years to learn the same thing humans can in a hundredth the time. So a headstart isn't going to mean much in terms of power overall.
>>
>>97358443
>Any that features the above settings or can run then in homebrew
They have very different rules for spellcasting, and different attributes being important. Like for instance, wisdom doesn't matter for D&D wizards (outside of saves), but it matters for channeling spells in Warhammer Fantasy. In this system anyway, elves can master any sphere of magic and learn High Magic, while human wizards are incapable of doing so.
Let alone the difference in age and also powerlevels for characters.
>>97358482
>Pretty sure that elves have some kind of learning disability to need to spend hundreds of years to learn the same thing humans can in a hundredth the time
That really isn't the case in any system or in any halfway serious setting.
Elves being dumb children for hundreds of years is a shitty anime trope.

Relax bro, just having a giggle since it's just a joke thread.
Though I didn't even take that from anime, it's the bogstandard joke of how an elven adventurer starts at level 1 like everyone else despite an adult elf generally being in the triple digits for years lived compared to them, surprised you couldn't recognize it

>Why should I homebrew?
/tg/ products are fairly unique in that it's actually pretty simple to make them these days, with a plethora of products to assist in making and playtesting your game. Making your own games helps understand why games are made the way they are, as well as being fun to do.

>What you should post
Ideas for games, games you're currently making, updates to your own games in broad strokes, and any homebrewing for existing products that don't get much attention. Discussion about the above is welcome. Post good, be good, and look over others products, they care if someone looks more than anything.

Dune or The Outer Worlds?

Titanfall or Starfinder? Avatar? Killzone?
