The only way you could make that more weeaboo is by adding cat-ears. Let me know how it goes.

That is actually the idea. It's a pretty light game and we're running in an episodic format with short more-or-less unconnected adventures. I'd like to keep the player on his toes, and I don't think he'd be be expecting a Ninja Robot Death Girl as a clingy bodyguard for a session or two.

I think you meant Trapfinding.

Nah, I totally think it means you can sense traps out to 15' just like detect magic senses magic.

Also, what happens if you throw dynamite, and it gets hit with a fireball? Or if you're holding it and someone hits it with a scorching ray?

I meant Trapfinding, but I'm not sure it'd be a big deal if I just made it "You can detect traps like detect magic, but for traps. Grand."

If you hold dynamite and it's hit with a scorching ray, then to put it bluntly, you're fucked.

Yes, proper fucked.

My party actually used it to our advantage. I threw the dynamite into the a room, the fire mage had a readied action to shoot a fireball into a room when the dynamite hit the floor, and the ninja had a readied action to shut the door once the fireball got past it.

We immolated the room.

I was pondering how best to use the new sweet ass fast attack buggies (Driving around in D&D? Rad. Taking the buggy as your invention? Double-rad) and was wondering if you think it would be fair for the pilot to "jump" a buggy if you hit a ramp. the hundred foot move speed would give it a +28 jump check at a speed of 100 feet, or +68 if you take locomotion specialization.

Because I totally want to ramp over stuff Dukes of Hazard style.

Yeah, I see no qualms with that.

Me, either.

Has anyone else here ever played Jak 3, with the desert dune buggies? I now have an idea for a Gadgeteer who outfits a lot of inventions on one vehicle and drives around terrorizing people with it.

That was a gnarly game. I think I enjoyed Jak 2 slightly more, but they were both thoroughly entertaining.

Presently, I have a Gadgeteer NPC ally as part of the party in a game I'm running. The fancy cloaking hovertank they were issued at the beginning of their mission got taken out by an anti-armor heat ray, and the gadgeteer has been forced to combine the wreckage with his own toys to get functional vehicles. Presently, the group has a magically propelled wagon the Gadgeteer needs to drive. It's covered in steel plating and has 3 manned turrets. One is a Gatling gun with a 360 degree firing arc, and the other two are a front-mounted rocket launcher and a rear-mounted flamethrower.

This synergizes quite well with the PCs, one of whom is a Fire Mage in scout powered armor with a weakened Invisibility cloaking device and Swift Fly jump jets and the other being an elemental-possessed soul gem driving a construct body who specializes in ranged toxin and acid attacks. Both can benefit from cover in the wagon as they use their ranged attacks.

Now tempted to add a jump module to the wagon. There's even a Gadget to use as a model.

Trapsense is actually an existing class ability everybody forgets (because it's fucking useless), barbarians and rogues have it, amongst others.

While putting off working on Xeno Crusade, I added a few extra Gadgets of varying levels (Extend-O-Fist, Static Blade, Helper, Makai Cannon, Elemental Microwave and Mechanical Globe).

Also, have only received good reviews of the class so far, which is awesome. It seems it's a keeper.
