Hey playground, I'm looking for all of your favorite mechanically flavored classes for an upcoming project!

What's relevant: Androids, Constructs, Living Constructs, Mechs, Vehicles, Transformers, Terminators, Cyborgs, Tinkerers, Hackers, Digitally Based, Technomancers, Golems, Summoners, Elementals, Powersuits, Remote Control Classes, any all of the itty bitty gaps in between or any of the things outward that I haven't thought of!

I'm looking for quantity so submit anything you like, or just voice cool things you want to see, my project is pretty involving so it has the room for your ideas! :smallsmile:

Here's a teaser gallery (https://imgur.com/a/AW5Uo) with a few images that drew my attention right off the bat!

Just classes? I suppose you wouldn't be that interested in my old Tome of Iron (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?182666-Tome-of-Iron-MK-II-3-5-Construct-Resource) project. No classes, but it touches on like 60% of the relevant ideas.

Thank you for your quick response, Admiral Squish!

I am indeed interested in all fluff, flavor and crunch of all homebrew!

To get this project off the ground I wanted to see what other classes do currently, so those are my priority, but everything helps to flesh out the optionality and mechanics to be worked in thanks :smallsmile:

Any more? I am also looking for compendiums of sorts (such as the mechanonomicon (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=177.0)) to help draw from. Thanks!

It really depends on the world, right?

I mean you would not necessarily have androids in a steampunk environment. Also it depends on how you interact with them... enemies, friendlies, playable class?

Also the artwork is awesome :o

Huh... first time I looked at that picture, I thought it was Xenoblade's "7" (name traditionally blanked for possibly the biggest spoiler in a game that has a plot twist practically every second plot point).

Except now I'm not sure why. Who is that?

The class is similar to the ozodrin and converts a player's former appearance into a disguise for it's mechanical self to hide in, giving it a fantastic array of shapeshifting and swappable special abilities. Due to their mechanics and general oddity/horror flavor it is somewhat fitting for them to not belong in a setting, so that's why it can range all the way from greyhawk oil and iron to cybernetic and magitek, and even further still to a sort of living spell digital creature similar to the missingno (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?337909-The-Missingno-%28No-really-it-s-serious-PEACH%29) class, but that will come as a branch-off separate from this core flavor.

It is Aigis from Persona (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Aigis), I have not played the series.

Due to the image's positive feedback I've prepared some demo hotlinks for my signature. The text will likely be changed and The Machine is a working title for the class:

Thanks for the feedback so far, surely there is more? :smallbiggrin:
