Cool, the concept is now in a state of  flux with  the remaining cp left after attributes, So not quite sure on the class build  anymore but  will try and  keep the  story of the concept  preserved.

I am fine with a newbie Zaer Darkwail.

I will try to get things set up and sorted and what not in the next few days.

-That feel when you find the setup interesting but can't decide on a char-concept proper to run.-

I myself leaning to heavily armored marine with big gun, or mech pilot.

I'm in the midst of getting my solar-tech magical girl looked over. :)

I think my problem is that I do 95% of things in fantasy settings. BESM is great at inspiering things, but I just don't quite feel a thing, right now. I mean there is the self-indulging rp myself with superpowers idea, but well, the setting is very clear on that one...

ANYWAY let's see what the rolls say I should do!

So prolly not a martial class,.. lets do the calc for points
3, 1, 4 in excess makes 34 points, means I have 8 to put into stuff.. geesh, Definitly a power-specialist concept more than a direct fighter. Though could use that to pump up a meaner mecha too.. hrmnn..

@DM: To annoy you a little more, you seemed hesitant on the pet monster idea, so I'm toying with a different concept or two, one question first though, can I sell you on, rather than slaying a male, turning them female or futa or whatever on capture, or is that a bad fit to your concept? *chuckles* oh oh! What about a semi-organic mech with regenerative abilities (still needing fuel-sustenance as per setting rules ofc)

Zaer Darkwail

By my math I have 40pts invested on stats, leaving me just 2pts for special stuff :P. Considering I go for mecha pilot my stats would be (with +1 from 4th level added in); Str 10, Dex 18, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 14. My class gives these attributes; Own Big Mecha 2 ranks, Aura of Command 1 rank, Personal Gear 1 rank, Organizational Ties 1 rank. My 3 feats (2 class and 1 race) are; Improved Initiative, Weapons Encyclopaedia, Combat Martial Arts.

I think I spend 2pts for mechanical genius (so my char can do maintenance/repairs on his own mech). His mech stats are; 4d8, armour 8, 2 arms, top speed 60 mph, 4d6 dmg in unarmed combat and rank 2 special attack. I assume the -10 reduced endurance does not give any extra points to spend. Anyways special attack it does 2d8 and is ranged by default, I assign it to be Autofire so my mecha has 1d8 dmg minigun which can fire on range.

Roleplay Frog

Math sounds solid, keep in mind that the reduced endurance perk the DM gives all Mechas should also return point(s) back, if you go that route. (DM said the drawback is a must have, not that it would automatically be given with no benefit, by my reading)

Zaer Darkwail

Ah, indeed. Need confirm it before spending points (they go for mech for sure).

Roleplay Frog

A secondary special attack, or an emergency force-field can go a long way in a fight.. imo. ^^
Though, depending on the battlefield additional senses like infrared could be quite useful against aliens as well..

Zaer Darkwail

And considering the points go to my mech, it means I get double amount to buy? Meaning cost of anything special added to mech gets halved (same with personal gear). But no idea what things count major or minor for personal gear (so far thinking invest it on mech so it gets double value as well).

Yes, but here comes in my comment from a few days prior about balancing and BESM. Mecha's can get pretty crazy pretty quick if you take drawbacks (what do you care if your character can walk if they can summon a huge robot to do the walking for them?) to feed your robot-buddy up. If I was DM, I'd propably limit what you were allowed to pump into the robo buddy.
.. and, on that note, far be it from me to speak for the DM, but personal gear seems not quite fit for a Mecha. Iirc it covers stuff like spy-glasses, a car, med-kit, what have you.
For a mecha if you really want something apropriate, you could grab an item of power(Invest 4 points, buy 5 points but on an item.. but yes, you see how this can get exponentially scarier I reckon.)

Zaer Darkwail

Ok, how about personal gear/eguiptment covers personal mecha suit (with some protection and stuff which helps control mech) along with personal gun and such?

Derpedit, I misread something there.. uh. Definitly stuff that could work. You just want a skintight zero-suit admit it.

Sorry for the silence, I am not having a great week and have not had a chance to go through the posts since my last one (I am not ignoring them, but responses will have to wait).  It will be at least a few more days before I can.  Apologies for the delay in everything.

Well, idea of the skintight bodysuit is not meant it's armor :P. Genji fits for mobile armored commando unit (cyborg ninjas besides).
