Okay, I've never done anything like this before, but this is what I have so far. Let me know what you think, and keep in mind that I'm not done yet.



T-600 titan AMERICAN TANK

HP: Main body: 100 Each leg: 60
AC: 15
Speed: 75 (60 with 3 legs)
Strength: 50
Dexterity: 10
Constitution: 50
Intelligence: 0
Wisdom: 0, all passengers inside also decrease by 5, but not below 5
Charisma: 0, all passengers inside also decrease by 5, but not below 5

Drivers to the tank also have -10 on perception rolls and +5 on intimidation rolls.

Weapons:
Smoothbore cannon 200'/1000': +5 to hit. 3d20 bludgeoning damage with direct hit, 1d10 damage if within 12', 1d6 damage if within 25'. Can't hit flying enemies closer than 100'. Advantage on targets closer than 100', +5 hit for every size over Large, and -10 hit for every size under medium.
Machine gun (Hit+5) 400'/1000: 2d20 piercing damage with sustained hit, 1d12 for passing hit. Can't hit flying enemies closer than 100'. Advantage on targets closer than 250'.
Twin rocket launchers: 500'/1000':3d20 bludgeoning damage + 3d20 fire damage on direct hit, 2d20 fire damage on close hit, 1d12 bludgeoning damage on barely hit. 3 rockets in each launcher, DC to hit = 18 for direct, 10 for close, 3 for barely hit. Recharge time: 5 rounds. Hits one round after being launched. +3 hit for every size above medium, and -5 hit for every size under medium.

Defense mechanisms:
Trophy system: Intercepts all projectiles en route to the tank. The first is activated upon startup and lasts until 50lbs of material has been collected. Afterwards, a shield lasts for 3 rounds, needs 1 round to recharge, and activates 2 rounds after the command is given. (Example: Command-wait-Shield) The activation command can be given while a shield is currently active, but there must be at least one round between shields, or they cancel each other out and both are wasted.
EMP: Electro magnetic pulses radiate in a 25’ radius, and also extend in a beam reaching 100’. Charge time: 1d4 rounds x2

add 5 to carisma
and add 5 to hit with main cannon instead of ignoring AC


message 6: by The landmaster, Cool dude. Inactive. (new)

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
Alright. What’s the thought process behind it?


message 7: by The landmaster, Cool dude. Inactive. (new)

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
Wait, hold on. I remember why I added ignoring AC. Because they are smoothbore missles, and so they curve. Also, if a cannonball hits you, armor won’t do squat. Your best bet is to avoid it in the first place. That was my thought process, if you think +5 is better, we can do that, I’m just explaining what I was thinking.


message 8: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (last edited Jan 25, 2018 08:08AM) (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
Yeah I get what you are saying. But ac is also the ability to dodge. The ac from the light armors is the armor + sexy modifyer. So ignoring ac is when you have some weapon that never misses. So I think it should instead be +5 to hit.

The charisma reasoning is; who wouldn't do what they are told. When the guy asking has a tank. I think it should be + 5 through intimidation

Also think that those in the tank should have a -10 to perseption roll.


message 9: by The landmaster, Cool dude. Inactive. (new)

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
Okay, I'll add those. So, if we are going with +5 hit instead of ignoring AC, should I drop the DC rolls for the cannon? And should I Give the missiles ignore AC?


message 10: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
yes, but add DC rolls for the missiles

And also starting on the



T-99 KOREAN TANK

HP: 100
AC:15
Speed: 100
Strength: 40
Dexterity: 15
Constitution: 50
Intelligence: 0
Wisdom: 0, all passengers inside also decrease by 5, but not below 5
Charisma: 0, all passengers inside also decrease by 5, but not below 5

Drivers to the tank also have -10 on perception rolls and +5 on intimidation rolls.

Smoothbore cannon 200'/800: 6d12 bludgeoning damage. Can't hit flying enmies closer than 500'. Advantage on enemies closer than 100'. DC decrease by 5 for every size over Large, and increases 10 for every size under medium.
Machine gun (Hit+5) 400'/1000: 2d20 piercing damage with sustained hit, 1d12 for passing hit. Can't hit flying enemies closer than 100'. Advantage on targets closer than 250'.

...You'd need at least a handful of these to have even a rough chance against a titan, but I can't really think of any other plausible additions I could give it...any ideas?

And as for the missiles...are you sure? They're missiles, and missiles don't really miss. No pun intended.

Austin | 972 comments Mod
well we don't want something that would instantly kill our players. I could see that be miss used.


message 14: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
I think the T-99 should be faster and have more dexterity than the Titan. because it is lighter. Also I don't know for certain yet but we may need to nerf the shields.

Dragon idea seems easy enough, but some things will obviously need to be translated. I can't say for sure as I don't know a lot about dragon monster sheets, the creatures I've created are fairly small. I'll look into it though.

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
I'm thinking maybe use a Young Red Dragon sheet? Switch the strength and dexterity, move more of the speed to flying, change bite and claw to more modern options, and maybe take multi-attack down to 2?

This is what I'm seeing:

STANDARD ISSUE CHOPPER

AC: 12
HP: 175 (8,10,2,3,2,9,7,10,1,8,3,7,8,9,1,5,2,+95)
Speed: 10ft, climbing 0ft, flying 120ft
Strength: 10
Dexterity: 23
Constitution: 21
Intelligence: 0
Wisdom: 0 Passengers inside who are not the pilot decrease by 15 for all checks outside of the aircraft
Charisma: 0 Passengers inside who are not the pilot decrease by 15 for all checks outside of the aircraft

Saving throws: Dexterity +4, constitution +9, wisdom +4, charisma +9, immune to fire unless accompanied by some other damage

Skills: Stealth +8, Perception +4
Blindsight: (Sonar?)
Dark vision: (night vision cameras?)
Multi-attack: chopper makes 2 attacks instead of one.

Machine gun: (Hit+5) 400'/1000: 2d20 piercing damage with sustained hit, 1d12 for passing hit. Can't hit flying enemies closer than 100'. Advantage on targets closer than 250'.

Missiles: 500'/1000': 3d20 bludgeoning damage + 3d20 fire damage on direct hit, 2d20 fire damage on close hit, 1d12 bludgeoning damage on barely hit. 3 missiles, DC to hit = 18 for direct, 10 for close, 3 for barely hit. Recharge time: 5 rounds. Hits one round after being launched. +3 hit for every size above medium, and -5 hit for every size under medium. Missile must be able to see enemy upon launch.

Rocket Pods: 250'/750 target circle in range under chopper, each creature within that circle must make a DC 17 dexterity saving throw, taking 16d6 minus AC fire damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful one. Radius of circle is dependent on number of pods launched, up to 5. 1=4', 2=5', 3=7', 4=8', 5=10'. 30 pods. Pods hit 4 action's time after the chopper's turn, regardless of who's actions those are. Pods can also be split up into separate groups.

Other:
If a helicopter takes more than 90 points of damage in one turn, it falls prone and takes 20d6 falling damage. Does not take damage from missiles and rockets unless directly hit.


Thoughts?

The landmaster (landonzea) | 314 comments Mod
I'll look more into those specific helicopter models tomorrow. Maybe we can start a pit battle. One side could have a titan, a few squads of men, and the other side maybe 2 tanks and a helicopter.

Also, do you think the trophy shield on the titan should be restricted to stationary positions? If they move, their current shield dies, and it can't activate if moving? Or do you feel like that would limit it too much?


message 33: by Austin, CEO of the world's largest and most evil Megacorperation (new)

Austin | 972 comments Mod
sure we can try out the pit battle, once we make the choppers. we also need to make an RPG weapon mechanic. The closest thing the DM manual has is grenade launcher.

We can test out the shields only working while stationary.

RPG should be pretty easy, yeah? Just extend the range?

Yup.

So on an unrelated topic. The dm guide has a burst fire mechanic. Where a person would shoot 10 rounds of a mag. But has no mechanic for going full auto and emptying a clip in a turn. How do you think we should make that?
