Terk Mech & Tech

[hardy citrus]

i got snakes

thrown fold knife is also pretty funny

..........wait.

OH NOOOOO

[hybrid ledge]

yup

just railgun people

there is also just the classic Nanocarbon sword

[hardy citrus]

i think throwing this is really funny

[hushed field]

Holy crap, Terashima Blade Duilius.

[covert surge]

real blocking gameplay

[hybrid ledge]

oh boy

[hardy citrus]

and, because Terashima thrown wouldnt count as ranged

Lord Stance Painted Lady Rail Accelerator

[hybrid ledge]

Lord Stance Duilius sounds scarier NGL

[hardy citrus]

no no i agree

im thinking about whats funny to throw

lord stance duilius sounds like a legit menace

[hushed field]

Then again, we ran a Terashima Caliban in Wallflower, but that was due to some friendly GM nonsense. We er, may or may not have committed corporate espionage.

[hybrid ledge]

can't touch him

tho, I still like Reactive Weave Duilius

[hardy citrus]

can free actions only be taken on your turn, i forget

[covert surge]

I am still surprised Reactive Weave is only LL1 and 1SP

that is immensely powerful at such a cheap cost

[hardy citrus]

this is relevant i promise

[covert surge]

yes

[hardy citrus]

ok, ok, dang but phew

i was picturing a build where you could like
Caestus + #_Ur Packet

set it up so you can just haunt, bash someone back down

but if free actions are your turn only, its fine, we good

[hushed field]

Okay so.. I'm the sys-member currently playing LANCER with a group.. What heavy or superheavy weapon pairs well with a Terashima Blade?

[hybrid ledge]

I remember I made a Drake with Reactive Weave and Armor Lock

[hardy citrus]

is this specifically for Dulius

[hybrid ledge]

thing was just unkillable

[hushed field]

Yeah, Duilius.

[hardy citrus]

Lord Stance Duilius?

[covert surge]

Terashima blade shaped like a Gladius

[hushed field]

Oh that's a point, I'd be spending most of my time in Lord Stance.

[hardy citrus]

thats why i ask!

time to see if theres a heavy melee that stuns

[hushed field]

..Oh, that's an idea! Pair it with the Crisis Catalogue's Maul for its reliable 6 2d6+5 at threat 2. It's great.

And if I ever can't barrage, just draw my sidesword.

[hardy citrus]

Combat Drill if superheavy is okay could work

[covert surge]

oh yeah Combat Drill is extremely mean with its corepower

since its a deterministic ram that also micro stun

[hybrid ledge]

Duilius + Reactive Weave is silly, now he's just teleporting

[covert surge]

so it activates both the overkill clause, and reduce their eva to 5 for the big drill

[hushed field]

Oh no. Combat Drill Duilius. That's.. Scary.

[hybrid ledge]

go for Duilius 2, Metalmark 1, Atlas 3

[hushed field]

But, it's a LL3, isn't it?

[hardy citrus]

nanobot whip is funny for Caestus, cause you pull enemies close to you, setting up for Caestus

[hushed field]

Problem is, we're at LL3, so.. Getting Combat Drill + Terashima Duilius is a while off.

[hardy citrus]

OH WAIT

THE GMS SUPERHEAVYS FROM DUSTGRAVE, as well

[hushed field]

What, the Tempest?

[hardy citrus]

ye

superheavy melee, AP, Overkill, Knockback 2, threat 2, 3d6+2 Energy

[hybrid ledge]

Tempest Slaps

Somebody in our game once used it on an Empaakai

[hardy citrus]

oh, do you guys use crisis catalogue?

[hushed field]

Yeah, we do.

[hardy citrus]

i built a lich with it once

(Superheavy mounting, plus the other gms core bonus that gives another mount)

[hybrid ledge]

tho, i'm currently sticking to my NucCav Hacker Tukhachevsky

[sinful turtle]

Is it me, or am I not understanding the design principle behind the shenaniganery of Dagon? I wish to be enlightened, but my brain is smooth and lacking in wrinkles. I'll read the license over and try to think a bit because I'm not sure how to build this, or what it wants to do 😓

[hybrid ledge]

if you can see it, it can see you

[covert surge]

Its very strong at countering tech attackers by existing within their sensor range

[hardy citrus]

then yea, the ultraheavy maul is super good too

[hybrid ledge]

that means it's sensor range is always exactly enough to do stuff to you if you can do stuff to it

[sinful turtle]

I note the Spear is an incredible tool for helping allies out of a sticky spot.

[hushed field]

The problem is, what do we pick up as our 3rd license level whilst we wait for the Terashima Blade?

[hardy citrus]

its whether you want more damage from tempest, or more reliable and knockback from the maul

[covert surge]

It can redirrect tech and has stuff that trigger when it successfully defend against tech, and it has incredibly high E-def

[hybrid ledge]

Dagon is silly because it basically always has enough sensor range

[covert surge]

You can also build it as a pseduo striker stacking enlightenment, iconoclast and the spear+2 NHP and just zap people for a billion damage each time you use an NHP action

Which the protocol counts as

[hybrid ledge]

Dagon with Sekhmet

[sinful turtle]

That's incredibly funny, and I love the idea. Honestly, thinking of being a literal walking tech attack magnet, stacking HP out the whazoo, and just wading into the throng beside our Balor to beat people with a Sentient Spear that Hates Your Statuses is just amazing to me.

Starting to download... I think this will be an exciting experiment.

[hybrid ledge]

if you wanna be silly

[hardy citrus]

i mean, Terashima is LL3. so begining the process of diving into atlas with your dulius is probs good
kraul lets you force enemies to stay near you, setting up the zip line lets you force people to trip, jager kunst could work nice with moving when you brace, richochet blades lets you hit more things from range and potentially do spread dmg

[hybrid ledge]

get Beckoner on Dagon

if you can see Dagon..you are now in danger of being aggressively teleported

[hardy citrus]

@sinful turtle heres me breaking down the dagon build when built for iconoclast

[sinful turtle]

As tanky as Dagon is, I think that's an amazing use of it to punk Scouts and Snipers 😄

[hybrid ledge]

yes

[hardy citrus]

17 AP damage plus 1d6 kinetic a turn, at LL3

not including the fact that transmuting spark is a line, not range, so it can hit multiple in theory

[hybrid ledge]

also, he's surprisingly a solid vanguard build loaded up with double behold

[hardy citrus]

nod nod

the thing is, at higher levels, the iconoclast build can just be a bonus to whatever else youre doing

so thats also nice

[hybrid ledge]

but most of my Dagon builds are probably gonna be about punking people looking at him

[hardy citrus]

its really easy to maximize iconoclast while also..... not having that be your main thing at higher levels

---

Okay wait, again, bare with me cause this is cross-third-party

it just hit me

Painted Lady Rakshasa

for throwing the DEV_A dagger

thats FUNNY

[hybrid ledge]

oh it's just melee data dart from legionaire

[hardy citrus]

with a key difference, you see, as this can also crit

[hybrid ledge]

good sir, TUKHACHEVSKY disagrees

[hardy citrus]

LOL

[covert surge]

alternate idea: The SSC size 3 now gets even fucking faster

[hardy citrus]

LOL

oh my god

[hybrid ledge]

become FSAT

[covert surge]

https://tenor.com/view/jamiroquai-virtual-insanity-watermark-gif-27628516

[hybrid ledge]

still just lovin Tukh

[hardy citrus]

its giving Gashadokuro

[covert surge]

hes the best

he also gives you acces to just the worst backseat gamer as an NHP

[hardy citrus]

context: this are giant yokai, like building sized skeletons, that are found at mass graves and battlefields. to quote one website "If they should happen upon a human out late on the roads, the gashadokuro will silently creep up and catch their victims, crushing them in their hands or biting off their head."

[hybrid ledge]

I gave my Tukh Frame the Callsign Noisy Boi

because he's gonna be making violent fan noises

https://tenor.com/view/overheat-computer-explosion-boom-spark-gif-17323916

[covert surge]

HA would like to firmly remind you that CreightonCoin is not officially licensed nor affiliated in anyway, nor can they be used as legal tender within the Purview

[hardy citrus]

ohhh wait, Polyphemus could be a fun name for these guys

[hybrid ledge]

I mean, it's SSC..needs to be a Moth Name

[hardy citrus]

Polyphemus moths are a member of the giant silkmoth family, named for, you know, THE cyclops

[hardy citrus]

yea, which the Polyphemus Moth is one

[covert surge]

Phasma/Specter moth is a possibility

[slow delta]

is Atlas a moth?

[hardy citrus]

yep

[hybrid ledge]

yes

[slow delta]

hm

[hardy citrus]

the largest moth species

[hybrid ledge]

actually that's Hercules

[hardy citrus]

you right, you right

[hybrid ledge]

I still vote for Hercules

[hardy citrus]

Glasswing, could also be an option

[hybrid ledge]

cuz biggest SSC mech

[hardy citrus]

spoilered for bug
|| https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Greta_oto.jpg/1280px-Greta_oto.jpg ||

[slow delta]

oh thats pretty

[hardy citrus]

This is a Glasswing Butterfly

[covert surge]

why is there a Forger-Me-Not butterfly

[hardy citrus]

there is another similar species that also has see through wings from venezuela called the Andromica clearwing

[hardy citrus]

oh, you know. so you dont forget it /j

[raven socket]

It's so prettyyyy!

I love that

[hardy citrus]

again, spoiled for bug

This is the Clearwing

theyre both of the genus Greta

oh, wait, yea

Greta is just the genus for most clear wing butterflies

Greta is, hilariously, an option

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_(butterfly)

just picturing it now. Getting a call over your comms. "Guys we're fucked. They brought Greta."

[hardy citrus]

also i didnt say but these are also really fun options

[covert surge]

https://tenor.com/view/scream-dragging-drag-away-kidnapped-gif-26770631

[slow delta]

not to distract from the Ubermoth of Phasingtastic Doom

but the Gorshkov might just be my favorite mech on the roster so far

it just VIBES

[covert surge]

Tacticool overload

[slow delta]

https://tenor.com/view/bravo-six-going-dark-cod-sergeant-mw-modern-warfare-gif-14985183

this is what I think about every time

[hardy citrus]

i know my partner really likes Gorshkov, if even just for a 1 level dip for Detonator on Iskander

lay the field, then shoot.

[slow delta]

yeh

[covert surge]

Skeet shooting

[slow delta]

https://tenor.com/view/thesapphireseal-saph-saphgaggle-gaggle-skeet-gif-22040707

here's your Seal Team 6

[hardy citrus]

i saw it and felt complete and total terror, because i have an iskander alt that can attach mines to its built in launcher, and drop them next to targets

so just. shoot. drop. shoot. boom.

even on regular iskander, just littering the entire land with mines then shooting a chain reaction of explosions

its a fun combo

[slow delta]

it sounds like a spectacular "I do this really cool thing hlafway through the combat" type trick

[hardy citrus]

Gorshkov just being like, this covert ops cut throat mech, that just, has counters to most things in its bag of tricks

is so fun

[slow delta]

yeah

[hardy citrus]

slap some gorgon on it too to make it even more malicious

[slow delta]

Sinister Gorshkov

I dont know why "Monopoly Man Mustache" and red eyes means sinister to me

[hardy citrus]

Go full invisible hidden, drop sentinel drones, get mimic mesh, scorpion v70, vorpal gun

just

sit there quietly, unknown, hidden, not part of combat, till literally anything happens

and. die.

[slow delta]

Wild

[hardy citrus]

Me in my Gorgonshkov

[slow delta]

GORGONSHKOV

I LOVE THAT

[sinful turtle]

I think I might be able to convince the DM to let me Cult of Dagon in our Wallflower game! It may be suitable, it may not be, but regardless... they sealed the vault. But will you come and see?

[hardy citrus]

I put too much time into this shitpost edit

[slow delta]

oh my goodnesss

that's incredible

[covert surge]

the spine of the size 3 SSC kidnapper, will work on it more later

[hardy citrus]

this would be the slowest/least evasive SSC mech, right?

i might be misremembering

[covert surge]

its Monarch stats

[hardy citrus]

ah yea that makes sense

[covert surge]

w a little bit of tweak, but it has the same speed and evasion as monarc

[steep pebble]

@covert surge @raven socket

[raven socket]

lmaoo

[raven socket]

Is anyone having an issue with #_Ur Packet not being addable to mechs?

It's been reported but I can't seem to replicate it

[hushed field]

It doesn't work on my machine.

[raven socket]

I have a theory

Let's see if it's right

Found the issue

Fixed, it was because I forgot to make it so the Sacrificial Spear doesn't count towards your AI cap

Keep in mind you still won't be able to combine the packet with comp/cons or other NHPs etc

[hardy citrus]

ahhh thatll do it

[raven socket]

You'll wanna redownload the LCP to grab the fix

I am a competent LCP maker and definitely never accidentally introduce licence-breaking bugs into my projects

[rain topaz]

hey, this may have been asked before but i couldnt find an answer to it, how do mods interact with sputnik attacks?

[covert surge]

Still works, half damage clause takes first priority and applies to any triggered effect and even Paracausal, limited takes from your stock

[rain topaz]

ok, thanks

also, would the adjacency extension from house guard interact with *drone entanglement

like could one have a drone 2 spaces away and still have entanglement?

(outside of the core bonus)

[covert surge]

Yes

[rain topaz]

woop

thank you good sir

do individual sputnik drones count as different weapons for the purpose of the uncle comp/con?

no, right? cause the only way you can attack with the sputniks is the command thing, right?

(my apologies if this is a bombardment of a questions, i honestly didnt expect to get a response so quickly)

[covert surge]

The only way to attack is with the command

This cover autopod uncle etc

[covert surge]

Someone should make another lovecraft frame with art so i can make a Pillar Men edit with Cthonian and Dagon

[pliant token]

I am desperately trying not to spoil an upcoming mech art I commissioned

[covert surge]

🤔 🤔 🤔

[sinful turtle]

Call me curious, but does #ur_packet count as an AI for the purposes of Iconoclast, and can you take the Horus CB to pair it with the Sacrificial Spear? I'm trying to build like - a Bog Standard Dagon to try out all the unique pieces at once, and then hybridizing with other third party materials and such for funsies.

Talent choice is funny

[covert surge]

You can do it without a CB

Ur packet counts as AI, the spear counts as AI but doesnt count against AI cap

[sinful turtle]

Oh, very cool! Thematically, it has nothing to do with NHPs, right? It's just... a mystery from the metavault that you really ought to come and see?

[covert surge]

Yes, i specifically did not make it an NHP because as weird as NHP are they are relatively understood and standardized

This is something else entirely

[pliant token]

I'll say this - you google Lovecraft mech, you will probably get Sheng Lam's art. He's a fantastic artist, and the designs he presents are quite interesting, but I feel like he didn't really get the assignment. They're all just very literal illustrations of eldritch physicality in mech form

where are the angles that should not be

where are the dimensions the human mind was not meant to perceive

[rain topaz]

do sputniks get the benefits of a core bonus like auto-stabilizing hardpoints?

[raven socket]

Question for you, @covert surge

[hybrid ledge]

Sputniks with Krakatoas

who cares if it's halved i'm covering the map in fire

or. if you wanna be really silly...Sputniks with Slag Cannons

let's really play minecraft

[rain topaz]

Sadly you cant have Sputniks with krakatoas as theres no way to get a heavy mount on a rat king

[covert surge]

No core

[covert surge]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tH-5HrbUF1a0XOO090KEBtBhlY2z9Khct0oAuQyP7iE/edit?usp=sharing

that spooky size 3 SSC i was brainstorming last night

[raven socket]

Let's seee

Oh yeah, is the frundsberg ready for me to work on?

[covert surge]

I think so, no one has pointed out anything borked yet

[glass saffron]

Oh this is some funny stuff
Am I correct in assuming you could take damage multiple times for Ghostwalk to extend it multiple times?

[covert surge]

you take damage once, then extend it until you can exist in a non overlapping space

so if you go down like a really long wall you can just phase across half the map in one boost

[glass saffron]

That is exactly what I thought, then thought "No it can't possibly do that", and now am very excited it actually does

[covert surge]

its niche enough that I think its fine and 1d3 ap is nothing to scoff at either

another version was just 1 ap for each space extended

[glass saffron]

The idea of looking for straight lines where you can ghostwalk over as many people as possible is so good

[covert surge]

ghost walk through a dense group of enemy

grab some unfortunate soul

run off with them through a wall with your like speed 12 or someshit mech

[glass saffron]

Question, does Chilling Presence increase the length of a Ghostwalk you're in the middle of? I'd assume so but double checking

[pliant token]

Suggestion for name: the SSC Blanchard

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchard's_ghost

Alternatively, the SSC Hepialus

||https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_moth||

[covert surge]

Yes it does extend

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euerythra_phasma

[raven socket]

I like Phasma, personally

Good name for it

[covert surge]

Just be careful not to overshoot :P

[raven socket]

Here's a question

What happens if the movement would take you off the map?

[covert surge]

Actually i should add that clause to the CorePower incase you ghost walk through a dense group and end up on the other side of the map

You stop at map edge as usual

[open ginkgo]

It's an interesting mech, thats for sure

[covert surge]

Ghostwalk extend clause is optional btw so you still stop at obstruction if you dont choose to take the damage

[pliant token]

Oh! This is actually an interesting opportunity to make another SSC non-humanoid mech, i.e. one like the Death's Head. Did you consider what you want it to look like?

[covert surge]

👻

[pliant token]

https://youtu.be/n_qbGJuxCYY?si=DBND7eCaK5xCI6JV

[glass saffron]

Okay, I feel like something in the base game or the nuances of the wording means this doesn't work, but I can't find it, please prove me wrong-
Start Ghostwalking, Casually approach enemy mech
Overlap that enemy during your movement
Because you can grapple while moving with your Articulation Sync, and the check for overlapping mechs only happens at end of movement, you can grapple the enemy while they are inside you (Assuming that Adjacent's definition of "Within 1 space" includes 0 spaces, sounds like it to me)
You continue moving while dragging the intangible grappled enemy, but because I think something intangible is still counted as overlapping for ghostwalk, you now have an obstruction that moves with you.
Because you are always overlapping the enemy in question, continue sliding forever until you hit the edge of the map and/or universe, or use a free action to end the grapple

[covert surge]

once you grapple the enemy they become intangible, two intangible objects cant overlap

[glass saffron]

As in, they aren't allowed to, or they don't count as it?

(I don't know if/where the intagible definition is extended to beyond the Fade Cloak)

[covert surge]

so the WoT (Word of Terk????) is that you can't do that because it would cause two objects to overlap

INTANGIBLE characters can move through obstructions such as characters or terrain but not end their turns in them. They, their actions, and any effects they own or control can only affect other Intangible characters and objects. Tangible characters can move through INTANGIBLE characters and objects but not end their turns inside their spaces and can’t affect them in any way.

so intangible overlapping only applies to tangible-intangible interaction, if you are both intangible you play the game as normal

I should add a clause to transposition to clarify

[pliant token]

iirc the intangible stuff got properly coded with the calendula

[glass saffron]

Yeah, even without Ghostwalk shenanigans the "Hold someone inside you" nonsense would hold true for any bigger mech using Articulation Sync, since it lets you do a whole grapple between starting to move (Letting you overlap smaller mechs) and ending the move (Not allowed to be overlapping)

[covert surge]

:))

[glass saffron]

My work here is done

[covert surge]

Blackbeard is gonna love this

just drive-by kidnapping with grapple swing

[glass saffron]

Okay I can't find the rules about how grappling and dragging people near obstructions/terrain works, but, is there any possible nonsense that could be had by intangibly grappling and dragging someone so that they're in an obstruction when your Ghostwalk ends

[covert surge]

It would just stop the movement

[glass saffron]

Extremely dramatized example

[indigo gulch]

I love wallhacking/telefragging enemy mechs.

[glass saffron]

This could happen easily in a much less contrived gamestate, especially if you’re grappling a larger target, this just adds the extra wrinkle that the nearest empty space for the victim could be pretty far away in theory

[covert surge]

it actually just stops them before they enter the wall if theres no space to move them into

[glass saffron]

As in, the situation pictured would leave them up against the wall, but if it was a Perfectly-Size-3-Grappling-a-size-1-sized hole instead they would go through the wall to end up in it?

[covert surge]

yes

paging your local kobold player to build a fortress with a perfectly size 3 grappling a size 1 hole in it

[glass saffron]

Kobold, the workhorse of silly hypotheticals

That's a waaaacky interaction and has very interesting implications on the mental math you have to do about Ghostwalking- but, it works!

Actually I can maybe squeeze one more question out of this, is the grappled enemy released at the last empty space they'd be in at any point in the ghostwalk, at the start of the ghostwalk, somewhere in the middle?

[covert surge]

last empty space, and the grapple doesn't actually break, you stop with them

[raven socket]

Does this mean potentially stopping inside a wall?

[covert surge]

until valid space, if theres no valid space to stop at during the line you can't even activate it

[glass saffron]

So you lose your slide-as-far-as-you-want privilages while grappling someone, since the Extended-Ghostwalk end condition doesn't account for the enemy

[raven socket]

Aah, gotcha

[covert surge]

yes

[raven socket]

Oh yeah, need something in DMs

[covert surge]

you get enough speed as it is to kidnap people, being able to slide as far as you want while holding someone would just be wayy to much kidnapping

but you can still kinda do it if extended ghostwalk would just deposit enemy in a non-overlapping space

positioning very important with this mech

[glass saffron]

So optimal kidnapping terrain looks something like this, and if there's an obstruction anywhere the part of the path the enemy occupies, it's all invalid?

[covert surge]

consider the end point of any of the movement, if it would deposit an enemy at an overlapping space then the movement stops at the last valid space for both you

[glass saffron]

So this would be allowed?

[covert surge]

yep

https://tenor.com/view/scream-dragging-drag-away-kidnapped-gif-26770631

[glass saffron]

Okay, I think no further questions your honor

[covert surge]

🤔 you cant boost while grappling 🤔 I might just turn Ghostwalk into its own bespokes quick action rather than hooking into boost

homebrew is a sysiphean task

[glass saffron]

Grappling mid-boost is still on the table but requiring an LL1 may not be desirable

[covert surge]

i think it will just stop your boost the moment you grapple instead of dragging your dude with you as intended

[glass saffron]

The phrasing "neither character can BOOST or take reactions for the duration of the grapple" feels like it's talking about the instantaneous act of boosting and not the continued movement after- Plus, the whole of Ghostwalk is an "Instead", so even if picking someone up would stop a Boost, the continued ghostwalk isn't that

[covert surge]

gunna turn it into a bespoke QA to save me some headace

[slow delta]

seems like a good idea

[raven socket]

Frundsberg LCP has been sent to Terk for review

[hardy citrus]

Im so curious what the Phasma is gonna look like

[pliant token]

Hoping for spider ghost

[open ginkgo]

A totally normal mech/ candleja

[hardy citrus]

Can't wait to play my SSC phasma, "me when i fuckin get you" /lh

[open ginkgo]

Hah!

(Also jhc am I old)

[hybrid ledge]

Phasma Finna be like:

https://tenor.com/view/jamiroquai-virtual-insanity-watermark-gif-27628516

I'll be real, despite it being giant it needs like really lanky legs and arms

[wraith birch]

WOOHOO LANDSKNECHT BARB HERE I COME

[covert surge]

the key visual I have in mind is uncomfortably long arms/limbs and an energy field reseembling that of a veil

because ghost/banshee

[hybrid ledge]

I dig it

Needs a really freaky "face"

[covert surge]

@here Frundsberg is released and the LCP is updated

@wraith birch ^

[covert surge]

big

[raven socket]

beeg sword

[wraith birch]

ZWEIHANDER, BUT MECH-SIZED

YEAHHHH

[raven socket]

ughhh
It's 8AM and I still need to do the changelog post and send out update emails before I sleep

[wraith birch]

Anyway, I'll check it out later, in class currently.

[wraith birch]

Probably should sleep first.

Don't push yourself too hard.

[raven socket]

I need to stay up for a vaccine appointment anyway, so

emails sent

The emails take a bit more effort than the update posts, since it's gotta look nice in email format + I want it to be well-put-together for the people who donated

[raven socket]

the zweihander is so silly

all the keywords in the world :D

Very fun

[wraith birch]

Finally, we have something to walk up to a Goliath with and say "Pick a fight with someone your own size."

[raven socket]

Mhmm!

[covert surge]

dunk on them haters

[vapid scroll]

ohh that's a big boy

[alpine kayak]

The art includes a lot of mechs that aren’t in the lcp

Will they be added later ?

[vapid scroll]

yeah i think so

[wraith birch]

Yes, you can see the mechs planned for importing to LCP in the google doc.

You can see the doc and vote for the next mech here.

Speaking of which, I need to go to vote for a new frame since Terk and Nexa already made the big boi Frundsberg.

[raven socket]

I'm definitely not biased at all when I suggest you vote for the Brudenell

[wraith birch]

Sorry, already voted for Goldstreak.

[raven socket]

Nice to see the goldstreak getting some love

[wraith birch]

Brudenell "just slap more thrusters on it" is funny, but I love the kintsugi vibe of the Goldstreak.

Yes I had to look up how to properlly spell "kintsugi" but I still think it's a neat concept.

[raven socket]

Very cool concept, aye

[wraith birch]

Also, now that you released the Frundsberg I need to go port another one of my characters to lancer now.

[raven socket]

Yoinking a landsknecht and plopping them a few thousands years in the future?

[covert surge]

The one of like 2 ppl that votes goldstreak lmao

[raven socket]

Oh yeah, how are the rankings looking atm, terk?

It's been a lil' while

[wraith birch]

Basically yeah.

The original was like a fantasy character abducted into another fantasy universe so it's not that weird at this point for this character lmao.

[covert surge]

Suleiman, Brudenell, Lord, Kishka, Aquilegia, Yermak, Morgan, Goldstreak

[raven socket]

Heck yeah, 2nd place

Also I can get that clarification in from the reddit thread in real quick, terk

[wraith birch]

Question, Terk, does the Push of Pike interrupts movement regardless of the skirmish hitting? Or does it only interrupts if the attack hits.

[raven socket]

Why do all of my version numbers end up being 0.X.2

It's always a .2 at the end

[covert surge]

on hit

[wraith birch]

Anyway, to compliment the melee barb, now we'll need a range only Frundsberg.

[raven socket]

I'll give it a couple more minutes to collect clarifications then I'll post the updated LCP

[covert surge]

crashing blow still cost apropriate ammount of action

[raven socket]

Yep, I saw

I mean if anything else gets clarified while I'm eat my breakfast dinner

I am a responsible adult and can be trusted with flexible work hours

mhmm

[wraith birch]

Do you choose the type of attacks with the zweihander whenever you attack, or do you need a protocol to swap between them like the terashima?

[covert surge]

Whenever you attack

Since they dont have passive effects like terashima

[wraith birch]

Yeah, makes sense.

A bit of clarification text might be good though, just to clear it up.

[covert surge]

Push of Pike isnt overwatch so it + thor lets you pseudo overwatch with it

[wraith birch]

Wait, Push of Pike works with superheavy?

Oh, with Thor, okay.

[raven socket]

yeah sure

"You choose which of this weapon's profiles to use whenever you make an attack."

That work?

[wraith birch]

"You may choose the weapon's profile you use whenever you make an attack" maybe?

[raven socket]

is it really a "may", since you have to choose?

[wraith birch]

True.

"You choose the weapon's profile you use whenever you make an attack" then, maybe.

[raven socket]

Maybe

Alright

Anything else that needs clarification before I go to bed?

[wraith birch]

Just the push of pike thing, but nothing else that I can really see. Goodnight!

[raven socket]

I added a little bit to its text to clear that up

[wraith birch]

Then it's good then.

[raven socket]

Done and pushed

[ornate verge]

Dear god Frundsberg looks like an absolute juggernaut and I love it!

[alpine kayak]

How does the falling trait work on it?

Like if I jump on someone ?

[covert surge]

land adjacent, make a melee attack (this still cost action), on hit, they take the fall damage instead of you

yes, baseline, you can jump at people and whack them for an extra 3AP damage

gets better if you put flight stuff on it

[hushed field]

This is normally the part where we start using it as a Defender, but it's S3 and er, we mostly do boarding actions so the Duilius is already a tough sell to make fit.

[alpine kayak]

Not sure you can just choose to fall off a fly but still a cool little ribbon trait

Side note you could always interrupt a jump with an action, not sure if that should change the wording

[covert surge]

its has a specific part in the trait that say you can just choose to fall off a fly

[dusky parrot]

does winning the Dagon contested System check to become a tech attack's target count as a successful system check and thus activate Data Lash ?

[dusky parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/watchmen-gif-8794746

[dusky parrot]

the way it is worded (specifically the "this system" part), you can hold one charge per system

which wouldn't be possible with the Unique tag

[mellow latch]

is the ActiveScanners system intended to work with Chomolungma's data siphon trait?

[covert surge]

?

Scan isnt a tech attack

And if it was it would be kinda redundant innit, when you aoe scan, you scan each target in the aoe

On scan:scan

[pliant token]

huh

is it a tech action? Like Lock On?

Or is it undefined

[covert surge]

Tech action

[mellow latch]

Sorry, what I mean was when you scan with Chomodata siphon, can you use active scanners to AoE scan?

[covert surge]

yes

[lucid sorrel]

Hey! When I saw your art ages ago on reddit, it inspired me to make a (very chaotic) melee Barbarossa alternate frame lmao, with alternate equipment to boot! Thought I'd share it since i've been following terktech and this reminded me of it, a size 3 melee mech is a super fun concept (sorry for the weird txt file haha)

[lucid sorrel]

(Apologies if this repeats anything people have already said)
At Arms Length is super fun, though I feel like you could get some crazy knockback out of this, especially with the War Pike (knockback 4 at LL3 is pretty hog wild, maybe this could be limited to while immobilized? or "when the Frund hits a target, it can choose to knock it back to the edge of the weapon's Threat"

Push of Pike gives great opportunity for control, but it kind of gives the Frund a second improved "Overwatch". This isn't inherently a bad thing, but making Push of Pike cost overwatch or deal half damage might help it be a little more reigned in

Crashing Blow is impeccable, no notes

Indomitable Does this mean push of pike can be used 1/turn? or literally every time it would be triggered, with no limit? I like the concept (a strong spearman's stance that prevents approach) but limitless attack reactions feels like a lot for a passive

Forlorn Hope is cool, a bit complex, but I cannot throw stones from my glass house! It might help readability to make its effects bulleted, like the Tortuga's core

Stats Numbers wise, compared to the Vlad or Balor, it feels on par, but I think the Frund's size of 3 and vast array of strong traits pushes it a bit beyond the curve of other frames (4 positive traits + core passive)

In all, my initial balance ideas might be to make Pike Wall and Indomitable one thing, something like "while immobilized, you can use Push of Pike", and would maybe suggest that "Crashing Blow" could become a system or even a Talent, and then give it some negative trait, like "slow" or "while immobilized, gain difficulty against adjacent enemies"

As for equipment, I might suggest "Iron Hand" is pretty good as a protocol, and might be more balanced as a quick action? That said, I could be wrong (being in the danger zone and grappling is a relatively specific situation), and playtesting it would probably reveal the right answer

[hardy citrus]

curious question! the alts weve been seeing you show off in here and in #homebrew-design , will those also eventually go in the TerkMc doc and lcp?

[covert surge]

🤷‍♂️

I made them as creative excercise. If ppl really wants them and Nexa is willing they might me a seperate LCP but its pretty low priority compared to the mainline project

fair, fair! makes sense

i was genuinely more curious than anything, i think your design ideas are cool

[viscid snow]

It's nice to target multiple dudes with one attack.

[summer plume]

Hiii, question one of my players (who really insisted in playing a melee barbarossa) has absolutely fell in love with the Frundsberg. I read over it and it look balanced with other mechs (other than being able to spam crashing blow so you can both boost and get 2 skirmish every turn unless i'm missing something) - any balance considerations I should have?

[wraith birch]

Crashing blow still requires an appropriate action to attack, so you'd still need a quick action to use.

[summer plume]

Ahh, that's good to hear.

Oh yeah I'm reading it now, what's free is crashing, not the attack, mb.

Other than that, you can always playtest and give feedback to Terk if you find anything particularly broken.

[raven socket]

Sorry for the wait, everyone

[raven socket]

thanku

[open ginkgo]

RL comes first, no need to say sorry.

[covert surge]

The pilot is being a mini-asura for a moment, and is making the mech do things at speed that its not meant to handle

So explosive damage is your actual mech breaking under the strain of doing it for too long

[open ginkgo]

Ah okay, that makes sense

[lucid sorrel]

This frame is interesting! I like the idea of being a very agile and reflexive striker

I think Perfect Positioning and Hyper-Reflex are too strong. A full damage skirmish reaction that you can trigger every turn is incredibly strong, and with a base evasion of 12, attacks are going to miss you out the wazoo. Just as an example, throw a Mortar on this and you're raining hell left and right without a care in the world! One of these needs an adjustment, imo, a limitation or a debuff or something.

A reaction attack with a trigger more common than normal overwatch will lead to this player being way more influential on the field than any of their squadmates, even an active core Tortuga

[open ginkgo]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/341/547/f15.gif

[pliant token]

I'd say change both mounts from flex to aux/aux but that can still be circumvented with one of the GMS core bonuses

Unless you specify that perfect positioning or FLOW STATE can only be triggered from an aux/aux mount

[wraith birch]

Get well soon Nexa!

[covert surge]

Maybe ill remove a mount so it trade the ability to barrage for skirmish off turn

[pliant token]

that'll probably still lead to players always taking the extra mount core bonus so they can have the best of both worlds

Let it be known I saw the Carrying Handle and immediately thought "Does this re-break the Phasma"

Man this is such an insanely niche situation im gonna say yes, you can ram people if you fall on them because its funny. You still take fall damage as usual

[pliant token]

see this right here

this is why I like you

"because it's funny" is the best reason to allow for something

[covert surge]

Can think of any situation where you would want to do it instead of just ram them but yes

[pliant token]

by hook or by crook I'll make that situation happen

now excuse me I need to make a completely serious Sulieman + Kai Bioplating LL6 build

as an aside, a question - mehmed's revenge. it seems very very powerful as a damage dealing system; the overshield to allies seems kind of overpowered from initial reaction. what was your consideration to have it do that?
from a narrative perspective, an orbital cannon might not always be appropriate - say, if the mission is underground. I would consider having it be an explosion or a field originating from the frame itself to avoid issues

[covert surge]

it is very hard to actually land and is more of a deterrent than true damage dealer

since it only trigger at the end of the next round

hey Kidd can shoot its orbital laser bs while deep underground/in space, this one can get it too :P

[pliant token]

hmm, if you get moved before your next turn, does the blast stay in your previous position or follow you?

[covert surge]

nope it stays exactly where you triggered it

[pliant token]

ah I see

the overshield though?

[covert surge]

like Monarch sheavy missile thing

its damage is there to scare enemies off a position

[pliant token]

I'd love to playtest it, if the chance ever arises

ball go boom

[covert surge]

might make it limited 1 to balance it out against walk of kings but we'll see

cramming like three of your guys in there is also prime target for enemy aoe

[pliant token]

I'm imagining a size 1 mech trying to carry harness sulie being like

[winter temple]

"Hah, all your weapon mounts have been destroyed. What can you do now?"
"There is another."
"What?"
picks up Suleiman pilot "Catch."

[pliant token]

wait, are you saying an NHP piloting the Sulieman is grabbing the pilot and throwing them outside of the mech?

[covert surge]

do not the pilot

[covert surge]

:)))

[hardy citrus]

LMAO

[indigo gulch]

I just realized... for ERA you can potentially crank that damage up to like 8+ with enough ENG stat

[hushed field]

It's just a flesh wound!

"What?"
…

Alternatively, fastball time?

[covert surge]

Just as JCH intended

Just a solid ball of ERA

I aint too worried abt it tho since its pretty much a once per mission thing

Since you gotta spend repair to repair system and more repair to give its limited charges back

[indigo gulch]

if you destory a system with Limited, does it lose the charges?

If not, you detonate ERA one combat then rest to get it back with the unspent charges

[covert surge]

It should

If that isnt the case raw then ill add a clause later

[indigo gulch]

lemme check rq

I just checked, Limited tag doesn't mention charges getting bricked if the weapon/system is destroyed, meaning that ERA kamikaze is a concern, so you should add a clause

[raven socket]

Geryon should be out soon™️

Gonna do it tonight

[indigo gulch]

HYPE

[raven socket]

(hopefully)

[wraith birch]

Fun fact: Suleiman pilots are contractually obligated to say "Fuck it, we ball" everytime their mechs are picked up and thrown.

(Source: I made it the fuck up.)

[indigo gulch]

If you smash a Sulieman on top of an enemy chassis, does the pilot need to yell "COME ON AND SLAM!"

[wraith birch]

Yeah, and they also need to say "DUNK ON 'EM" before the attack.

So, I'm doing the LCP implementation for this ability - Should I have them take the heat before or after they change the weapon's profile?

Oh hey terk, would've DM'd you but I thought you were asleep

[covert surge]

Its the same with lightning generator innit as a heat protocol

[raven socket]

Yeah, but I can't find a way to give a core power action innate heat

[covert surge]

My sleep schedule are beyond human comprehension

Heat before

[raven socket]

Lemme look at lightning generator rq

👍

For the actual profile part:

Take 1 heat, then choose a new profile for the Serrated Sun Wormhole Stabilizer.

err, protocol part

[pliant token]

with regards to taking fall damage - that wouldn't trigger ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES, would it? because it's not an attack, just damage

[raven socket]

Got it half-done, so doin' a slep now

[covert surge]

It would not

Or else things like this would haplen

“Use smite”

“Roll with the punches”

“I knockback myself from myself”

I disappear into blink-space for the crime of paradox, reappearing at next rest

listen I get it, I am not advocating for it

perhaps the Reverse Guillotine should specify a size 1 object? Seems like it would make things clearer with regards to verticals

[winter temple]

so for the Heruka

if I do the tech attack that allows me to make a weapon attack against a target, would it benefit from Lesson of Thinking, Tomorrow's Thought

[covert surge]

yes :)

its two seperate attacks

[winter temple]

trying to think of some melee weapons that would work well with the Heruka other than its own Dharmachakra

Terashima Blade would be fun but you can only have one

[covert surge]

any low threat high damage weapon works

the whip can also be funny because you can yank people at sensor range

[winter temple]

it's a heavy though...

and the 'ruka can only hold main and auxes

but that would be hilarious

[covert surge]

the impact lance if you want your reactor to explode

Ferrofluid can get you just really long ranged immobil

[pliant token]

What level are you building it for? Because there's always the GMS bonus for more weapon mounts

[winter temple]

LL6, I mostly make builds for fun cuz I'm stuck as DM until I can find/teach someone to DM Lancer in my group

[pliant token]

So put another mount on that sucker!

[raven socket]

Heya, wanted to get some opinions
Is it clear from this description that you get line if you have line, and if you have range you get range?

Create a Line 5 wholly within your Sensor Range. Whenever you or an ally draw line of sight across it for a ranged attack that does not have Burst or Cone, you may destroy the Line and grant the attack +5 Range/+5 Line

[winter temple]

now that you think of it I could turn the Heruka's aux/aux into a main/aux

it already has three so it isn't eligible for Superheavy or the extra flex

[pliant token]

That's the ticket - there's also the bonus, I forget from where, that lets you put in an integrated heavy mount that you can fire once per full repair

[raven socket]

(Need thoughts on this so I can put the Geryon out)

[pliant token]

Instead of the slash you can put "either" in the beginning and the word "or" in between

Grant the attack either +5 Range or +5 Line, depending on the triggering weapon's attack type.

It is pretty verbose but it's better to be clear than concise - though I imagine you could probably whittle it down further in future revisions

no need for the slag cannon

Its still okay to offer suggestions on the mech docs, even if the mech has been out for awhile, right?

(feels like a stupid question but i just want to be sure)

[covert surge]

shoot, ill consider it

also im going to be slightly reworking suleiman to be more ram and survival focused since Brudenell is doing the "I move in a straight line, busting through terrain and cover like im kool aid man" niche

I'm eagerly awaiting getting to work on the Brudenell, personally

Very much want to use it myself

[rain topaz]

it also continues the trend of games being the only thing i use complex math on

because of course its important to figure out how many total drones i can pop out of a rat king

im not quite a ram guy but the design is very dope

personally im interested to see the lord

Brudenell is more speed and knockback

technical question

are lcp's capable of modifying repair stuff in comp/con?

like how the everests replaceable parts lets it repair structure easier

[raven socket]

I believe so, yes

I learnt how to do that the other day

[rain topaz]

i ask cause (its them again) the rat king has its micro-forge trait, and that doesnt interact mechanically with comp/con

[raven socket]

https://i.imgur.com/PSETLdd.png

ah, nice

[raven socket]

you can spend 1 repair to fix all destroyed drone systems

I don't think you can do that sadly, no
