Magitech Knight (mechs for D&D)

[SorO_Lost]

Do you want Mecha in D&D?

Well officially you can! WotC already published an article containing The Mighty Servant of Leuk-o as an expansion to their Return to Expedition Peaks. But I know what you're thinking, how can stuff like 100hp and 12d6 weapons work at level 1? Yeah, I did too. So I scaled it by PL and then reworked most of the damage, using 4d6 (avg 14, 18str greatsword deals 13) and +1d6 every four levels from there as the main basis for things and tweaked things out from there. Then I patched in HP being based on Constitution as if the mechs had virtual HD so it's less of an Ability Score ignoring equipment addition. Finally it has some niche casting too, which drawn from any list because I am if anything consistent (see my blue mage) but it barely gets any spells each day and I'm not just talking about Slot limitations either. Finally, it's all fluffed up in Harem porn cool Safe-For-Work images because it was faster & easier to cut & resize those than the effort it takes to sort WH40k & Power Ranger images. Which speaking off, check out the ACF section to better tailor your Magitech Knight towards your favorite super transformation or mecha-like media. As always, flavor is mutable but balanced rule support is always nice.

Magical Group: Heart Hybrid
Sometimes when a world is invaded by outerworldly intruders, it pushes back.

Prime17 was attacked by invaders from another galaxy using weaponry that combines futuristic magic and science. Since Prime17's militant forces were practically useless against the invaders a new weapon referred to as Heart Hybrid Gear or HHG is developed using stolen technology. A HHG Core is implanted within a person and by then by them calling out the HHG's name, they can summon an armor around them which can effectively combat the invading forces. This content uses a combination of D&D's official mecha content and SorO's homebrew to produce a level scaling mecha system. For d20 Modern simply run the class as is, the weapon damage, armor, and hit points are all lower than modern's mecha. For D&D you should consider using it as a more optimized option not meant for lower-powered games.

Characteristics: The original division of Magitech Knights was created using a fusion of a creature's potential to use magic and highly advanced technology. To them, they inherently understand magical power is synonymous with life force and the emotions can even be used to power their equipment. Something that unites them all is a desire to be proactive and experience life and it's emotions, this is a side effect of the HHG core being powered by those traits.

Each one is able to summon a player-designed powered exoskeleton called a "mecha" for combat. This mecha comes with a few upgrades and as you progress in levels you can select even more. However using the mecha, and even spellcasting and a few other class features, consumes points from a daily limited pool. If you ever fully drain that pool you also synonymous drain your life force, killing your self. All Magitech Knights come to realize this even if they are not told of the dangers, but for most combat is a battle for your life. The risk is inherent to what they do.

Background: As noted, originally they were created to defend their home from invaders, the two societies clashed and eventually merged over several hundred years but the technology is as powerful as ever. Now a days however most Knights are often directly employed through a cooperate or governmental agency due to the limited number of HHG cores on the market. However a few have even been lost from cargo vessels being attacked leading to the emergence of even a local super hero in poor, barely inhabitable areas. For SRW campaigns the exact method is a Helsiana secret and most Knights these days are born in but through treaties a number of HHG cores were traded out.

Game Rule Information
Abilities: Charisma is important for spellcasting, constitution for survivability, and for combat dexterity is largely useful for all the ranged weapons a Magitech Knight can access but strength can be just as important. And a good warrior uses cunning and insight in battle as well.
Alignment: Any alignment is fitting for a Magitech Knight
Starting Gold: 2d4.
Special Limitation: you must be medium sized to progress in this class.

Skill Points Per Level: 4 + intelligence modifier, x4 at the first level as normal.

Proficiency: An Magitech Knight is proficient with simple weapons & personal firearms and gains the mecha operation and mecha weapon proficiency feats. You're also proficient in any upgrade-awarded weapon and your basic firearm (see tech). Heart Hybrid Gear: At the 1st level the Magitech Knight can summon or dismiss a powered exoskeleton simply referred to as a mecha by calling out it's name (determined by the player) as a swift action. This works similar to mecha as presented in d20 Modern's Future supplement with a few minor changes. The mecha gives it's wearer, also called pilot or operator, a number of hit points which are subjected first when it's wearer takes damage. The mecha's extra hp can be healed using magic but the amount healed from the healing subschool is halved, the repair line of spells (Eberron) however work at their full rate. If the wearer takes enough damage to deplete the extra hit points then the mecha becomes destroyed for the day but it will reconstitute it's self later on rather than remaining permanently destoryed. And unlike d20's normal mecha, it has an infinite number of equipment slots but cannot be equipped or modified by anything other mean than what is granted through this class. At the first level the mech armor provides a +4 equipment bonus to strength, and a number of hit points equal to the Magitech Knight's constitution modifier times five, and provides damage reduction 2/-. You also gain a slam attack as a primary natural attack that deals 1d4 plus your strength modifier at medium. The Magitech Knight also gains four upgrade points per level that can be spent on upgrading it's size, infrastructure, equipment, and such (see upgrading below). Hybrid Points: A Magitech Knight's mecha transformation, spellcasting, and certain other class features consume a number of "Hybrid Points". You gain two points, plus your charisma modifier for each level of this class, each day which is also your maximum value you can have at any given time. For the purposes of determining your charisma modifier for this effect you are to exclude anything with a duration such as most spells (but not, for example, a cloak of charisma which bestows it's benefit indefinitely while worn). Starting on the round you transform and at the start of each round while wearing your mecha you lose one Hybrid Point. When you cast a spell you lose one or two points per spell level (see spellcasting). Certain effects, such as your corruption armament, can also consume your Hybrid Points. If you would consume more points than you have then you are automatically slain, dropping dead as you consumed the last of your life energy. You may still be resurrected as normal.

Bonus Feat: At the second level and every four levels thereafter (see table) the Magitech Knight gains one bonus feat that she meets the prerequisites to chosen form the following list: Advanced firearms proficiency, dead aim, double tap, shot on the run, strafe, advanced mecha operation (this automatically adjusts to whatever size mecha the hybrid heart core provides), hair trigger, mecha crush, mecha flint, mecha sweep, mecha trample, mecha weapon boost, stun mecha, thruster blast, or any of the magitech feats listed below.

Magitech (spellcasting): At the 3rd level the Magitech Knight learns how to cast arcane spells. The Magitech Knight casts spells like a sorcerer using her charisma, full level for caster level, arcane failure for normal armor (but not mecha armor gained from upgrades), has an equal number of known spells and slots per day as according to the table (0th~6th). The Magitech Knight can actually learn any spell, infusion, or power from any class list using the level order SLAs use (ie wizard>cleric) and if she does not currently know a spell then she must make appropriate use magic device checks as normal. Finally, casting a spell consumes a number of Hybrid Points equal to the spell's level if the spell (or power) appears on the bard or psychic fighter lists, otherwise it costs twice that.

Tech: Initially the Magitech Knight can only choose upgrades with a Progress Level (PL) of 5 but at the fourth level and every four levels thereafter the Magitech Knight can increase the PL they can choose. So for example, an 8th level Magitech Knight can choose PL7 infrastructure, weapons, armor, equipment, and so on. This also allows you to choose larger sizes as discussed in the upgrade section such as huge at PL6, gargantuan at PL7, and colossal at PL8 respectively. In addition, the Magitech Knight can create a single firearm for usage when not wearing her mech that only she can use at the first level. This takes the form of any single shot weapon chosen from Modern's weapons that deals 2d6 ballistic damage or less and comes with unlimited ammo. Similar to mech weapons, the Knight can upgrade the damage (2d6->2d8->2d10) or firing rate (single->semi->auto) limitations in her selection (see notes in upgrades->for the solider->personal firearms).

Corruption Armament (Su): At the sixth level the Magitech Knight gains a very special weapon unique to them that they can summon (or dismiss) as a free action during their turn. It deals 2d6 + 1d6 per Magitech Knight level, 20/x3 for critical profile, and starting on the round it was summoned it consumes 1 Hybrid Point per two levels. When you gain this Class Feature you can choose for it to take the forum of a melee weapon that ignores 1/2 DR (rounded down) and adds your strength modifier to damage, or you can choose for it to be a ranged weapon with a range increment of 30ft and it adds your dexterity modifier to attack rolls, it still provokes AoOs for using it in combat. At the 6th level choose one weapon special ability (WSA) with a "+1" cost and your Corruption Armament gains this ability. For every even level (8th, 10th, 12th, etc) you can change your selection and the total modifier of WSA(s) you can choose increases by +1. For example at the 14th level you could select Holy Flaming Frost, a +4 equivalent. In addition, one point of damage per die is actually "magical corruption damage" which directly damages the target's life force. Corruption damage can only be healed by expending spell energy, healing one point per spell level spent.

Code Breaker: The ultimate ability of a Magitech Knight is their Code Breaker, a powerful magic deconstructing effect. Choose one target you can see within 100ft that you have a clear line of effect to, that target's spell slots and prepared spells are expended and all spell buffs end. This extends to all forms of magical supplements except Hybrid Points such as all supernatural maneuvers are no longer readied, all shaped soul melds dissipate, all pacts with visages are cleared, and so on. For each none-epic spell level they were currently unable to cast they take 2d6 corruption damage and due to the nature of the HHG, Magitech Knights must also make a Fortitude Save against being slain. The target of this horrendous effect is entitle a Will Save to resist it's magical-removing effects and reduce the damage to 1d6 per inaccessible spell level. The Save DC for this ability is 10 + 1/2 the Magitech Knight's level + her charisma modifier. Using this ability consumes one Hybrid Point per two Magitech Knight levels and deals 1 point of ability burn to the user's charisma.

Turrets take a standard action to set up and auto-target hostiles based on a mindlink to the owner provided they remain within one mile and are capable of firing once per round dealing piercing damage. Unlike fortified positions their ammo is limited and they cease to function after five rounds of firing through they can be dismantled before this by the owner of by being attacked (they have an ac equal to their attack bonus, hardness 10, and 5hp per knight level of the owner). Unlike most other upgrades, the number of times taken represents the total number of turrets you may have when you regain your Hybrid Points for the day which also causes all currently existing ones to decay. You can dismantle a turret to replenish it's ammunition and move it, but a destroyed one is lost until tomorrow.

Fortifications take a full ten minutes to set up using a combination of Magtitech-powered extradimensional storage and mass-defying collapsible sections and they designed to create secure mobile bases. Similar to turrets the upgrades represent a number of fortifications that can be used per day, they may be set up and dismantled indefinitely but if destroyed they are lost for a day and already-built ones decay out when you regain your points unless you choose to keep them.

A Better Look At The Rules Involved

(click to show/hide)

Support Corps Large armies need plenty of support Lose: You cannot choose any upgrades unless they are for soldiers. Gain: Using your mech doesn't consume Hybrid Points and you +2 upgrade points per knight level. Special: This affects the Extra Upgrade Points feat as well, giving you 6 points each time it's selected.

Gain: All conjuration[healing] spells are treated as bard spells for hybrid point costs. You can use an enhanced Shield Other as a spell-like ability at-will except your special abilities such as damage reduction, immunity, and resistance, apply to the damage received from the spell's shared effect. Finally your mecha takes on a more bulky form, reducing your land speed by -15ft but it grants a +2 natural armor bonus and +1 to it's existing damage reduction.

Imperium Marine Brutal wars require brutal fighters Lose: your magitech spellcasting & for solider upgrades. Gain: you gain +4 upgrade points per knight level but cannot select the for solider upgrades, additionally you can select the power pack upgrades multiple times and their effects stack for you.

You also an extra transformation mode usable once per day that increases your mecha size (and unarmed damage) by one per four knight levels that lasts for one round per knight level but can be prematurely ended as a free action. This cannot be used to progress your size above colossal+.

Gantz Hunter Games can be serious Lose: you cannot select any mecha weapons or use your basic personal firearm and you lose 1 upgrade point per level. Gain: your mecha gains a second primary slam attack and you gain improved natural attack(slam) as a bonus feat.

Autofire: If a ranged weapon has an automatic rate of fire, a character may set it on autofire. Autofire affects an area and everyone in it, not a specific creature. The character targets a 10-foot-by-10-foot area and makes an attack roll; the targeted area has an effective Defense of 10. (If the character does not have the Advanced Firearms Proficiency feat, he or she takes a -4 penalty on the attack roll.) If the attack succeeds, every creature within the affected area must make a Reflex save (DC 15) or take the weapon's damage. Autofire shoots 10 bullets, and can only be used if the weapon has 10 bullets in it.

Autofire is not the same thing as burst fire, which involves firing a short burst at a specific target. Firing a burst requires the Burst Fire feat. If a character fires a blast of automatic fire at a specific target without the Burst Fire feat, it's treated as a standard attack. The attack, if successful, only deals normal damage - all the extra ammunition the character fired is wasted.

Some firearms - particularly machine guns - only have autofire settings and can't normally fire single shots.

(click to show/hide)

Advanced Firearms Proficiency
Prerequisite: Personal Firearms Proficiency.
Benefit: The character can fire any personal firearm on autofire without penalty (provided, of course, that it has an autofire setting).
Normal: Characters without this feat take a -4 penalty on attack rolls made with personal firearms set on autofire.

Dead Aim
Prerequisite: Wisdom 13, Far Shot.
Benefit: Before making a ranged attack, the character may take a full-round action to line up your shot. This grants the character a +2 circumstance bonus on his or her next attack roll. Once the character begins aiming, he or she can't move, even to take a 5-foot step, until after the character makes his or her next attack, or the benefit of the feat is lost. Likewise, if the character's concentration is disrupted or the character is attacked before his or her next action, the character loses the benefit of aiming.

Double Tap
Prerequisite: Dexterity 13, Point Blank Shot.
Benefit: When using a semiautomatic firearm with at least two bullets loaded, the character may fire two bullets as a single attack against a single target. The character receives a -2 penalty on this attack, but deals +1 die of damage with a successful hit. Using this feat fires two bullets and can only be done if the weapon has two bullets in it.

Shot on the Run
Prerequisite: Dexterity 13, Point Blank Shot, Dodge, Mobility.
Benefit: When using an attack action with a ranged weapon, the character can move both before and after the attack, provided that the character's total distance moved is not greater than his or her speed.

Strafe
Prerequisite: Personal Firearms Proficiency, Advanced Firearms Proficiency.
Benefit: When using a firearm on autofire, the character can affect an area four 5-foot squares long and one square wide (that is, any four squares in a straight line).
Normal: A firearm on autofire normally affects a 10-foot-by-10-foot area.

Mecha Operation
Benefit: A character without this feat takes a -4 penalty on balance, climb, drive, escape artist, move silently, pilot, and tumble checks when operating a mecha. Furthermore, the character cannot run or charge.

Mecha Weapon Proficiency
Benefit: A character without this feat takes a -4 penalty on attack rolls made while operating a mecha. Furthermore, the character cannot apply the various d20 Modern firearm feats (such as advanced firearms proficiency, dead aim, double tap, shot on the run, and strafe) to a mecha's ranged weapons.

Zero-G Training

In addition, you are subject to the effects of Space Adaption Syndrome, also known as space sickness (see Zero-Gravity Environments in Chapter 4: Environments).

Advanced Mecha Operation
Prerequisite: Mecha Operation
Benefit: Choose a size of mecha (Large, Huge, Gargantuan, or Colossal). When you are operating a mecha of the chosen size, you gain a +1 dodge bonus to Defense. Furthermore, armor penalties for operating a mecha are 2 less than they would otherwise be (minimum penalty -0).

Hair Trigger
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +6
Benefit: Whenever you make an attack from your mecha that requires enemies to make Reflex saving throws, the DC for such saves is increased by +2.

Mecha Crush
Prerequisite: Mecha Operation
Benefit: As an attack action, you cna manuver your mecha to jump for fall onto opponents, using the mecha's body to crush them. This attack is useful only against creatures at least two size categories smaller than your mecha. The base damage for a crush attack depends on your mecha's size category, as given below. (large 2d6, huge 2d8, gar 4d6, colo 4d8) Add 1.5 times your mecha-modified Strength bonus to this base damage to determine the total damage from this attack. A crush attack deals bludgeoning damage and affects as many creature as can fir under your mecha's body. Each creature in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (dc 10 + your mecha's size modifier for grapple attacks). On a failure, the creature is pinned and automatically takes crush damage each round the pin is maintained.

Mecha Fling
Prerequisite: Mecha Operation, at least one free hand slot.
Benefit: I srsly need to OCR this thing. -20 grapple vs -2 size target to chuck them as your next attack action. Range increment is 10 (so max 100ft), deal 1/2 fall + StrMod to them, and if thrown at someone else you get -4 to the attack roll but deal the same damage to them.

Upgrade Points: 4 x megitech knight level.
Hybrid Points: (2 + static charisma modifier ) x magitech knight level.
Spell Level: in order, sorcerer/wizard>cleric>druid>psion>paladin>ranger.
Mobility: All magitech mecha move at 1/2 speed in water and x2 speed in space, they are still subject to environmental effects.
Sensors: it takes a move action to scan which allows you to reroll your spot/list with an added bonus, when you scan you also ignore size bonuses to hide checks and do not take a penalty to spot/listen checks for distances under one mile.
Shields Retractable armaments can be deployed or stowed away as a swift action.
Weapons - All: unlike normal mecha weapons in modern you can make iterative attacks with these mecha weapons. Ranged weapons, of course, still provoke AoOs.
Weapons - Melee: all mecha have a slam attack, you add your strength modifier as normal.
Weapons - Missiles: missiles do not have a range increment or suffer penalties, they explode at the end of their range if detonated before then. They typically offer saves for 1/2 damage but a successful attack roll against a single target can deny them their save, laser targeting can change this to a ranged touch attack.
Weapons - Energy: Antimatter damage splashes for 1/2 damage to all creatures adjacent to the target (no save). Ion damage is the mecha-equivalent of nonlethal damage and is capable of shutting a mecha down when the ion damage exceeds the mecha pilot's hp total, except it dissipates at the rate of five points per round and is subject to electricity resistance.
Weapons - Corruption Armament: corruption damage is not subject to damage reduction, hardness, regeneration, or any other ability that would reduce or prevent the damage for a successful attack nor can it's type be changed (for example regeneration converting it to nonlethal). In addition it cannot be healed by any other means than the following; by channeling magical energies any arcane spellcaster can expend a Spell Slot or Prepared Spell to heal a number of corrupt damage points equal to the spell level by touching the target.

Since the Magitech Knight wears a personalized, magically-powered, exosuit it is impossible for her to have a Co-Pilot or passengers that ride inside the armor. However, coming soon, she can imbue her mecha with a form of instinctual assistance called a Schism that functions like what some would call an AI.

Here is a list of ways the Schism can assist the Magitech Knight, the Schism can only perform one option each round and it consumes one Hybrid Point in doing so. See the individual upgrades for the exact bonuses obtained.
Emergency Ejection: If the Schism hasn't been used to perform any other option it instead patiently monitors the mecha's status. If the suit is destroyed by damage the Magitech Knight is violently tossed up to 30ft away from the source that destroyed the mech leaving behind the rapidly vanishing remains of her mecha. This movement does not provoke an AoO but if the Knight is unable to complete the movement (such as a cramp space) she takes fall damage equal to 1d6 per ten feet she was unable to move.
Operate Sensors: The Schism can perform the move action required to use an installed sensor system allowing you to make new spot & listen checks as normal.
Aid Other: The Schism can assist on skill checks by providing a insight bonus to your roll.
Boost Weapon Damage: By devoting it's own share of power to one of your weapons, the Schism can increase the number of dice a mecha weapon has for one attack. This does not work with your corruption armament.
Send Communications: Similar to a thought-controlled email system the Schism is capable of handling communication connections. In games without radio-like communications, treat this as the message spell except it requires no action to use nor does the Magitech Knight have to physically point at the receivers.
Provide Targeting Data: The Schism can provide an insight bonus attack rolls if you have a sensor system installed.
Dire Repair: As an immediate action you can shut the Schism down and channel it's arcane power into your mecha's magically summoned infrastructure, this heals a number of it's hit points equal to your charisma modifier. The Schism reforms the next day when you refresh your spells & Hybrid Points.
