So thanks to wonderful random loot charts, my party aquired a large sum of money. They then used that money to purchase the following Vehicle: the SP-01 Amphibious Tank. http://imgur.com/T6iTx http://imgur.com/E3QU0 It was an easy decision to green light once I saw they used my favorite pokemon, and drew pictures. Now i know they're going to want to keep working on it and adding stuff, and they're going to come up with useless stuff like "a hot tub that's just a giant water cooling heat sink" and "Butt warmer heated seats". Has anyone else had their engineer purchase a vehicle yet? I've made slight changes to my story and it works pretty well. I've also made a random d20 chart of things that could go wrong with it... for instance the giant speaker in its mouth was broken one session and annoyed every NPC and a few wilds. ANYWAY. They've been complaining about breeding checks, and I thought it'd be cool to let them buy a breeding/hatching add on for the vehicle. something that gives a bonus to the checks, but not sure how much to charge for it. Was probably just going to ballpark it, But i wanted to see if anyone else has done homebrew vehicle enhancements. |

YES. HECK. YES. THAT IS AN AWESOME DESIGN. MAJOR PROPS TO YOUR ARTIST. I was going to post a thread like this soon, seems we've just about synced up! My players saved up FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE ENTIRE YEAR THAT WE'VE PLAYED SO FAR and they recently shelled out something over 4 million for a GIGANTIC digging tank with an Iron drill, Healing Machine, Fossil Machine, the works. Its got bedrooms, a bathroom, a lab, kitchen & a medical emergency room. Its powered by electricity, runs on treads and has a backup power supply of x10 hamster sized Bidoofs. [They had to go some place special to do all this of course.] ...They just saved/robbed a wealthy casino; so collectively; they're richer than ever. I'M PRETTY SURE that they're aiming going to turn it into a fighting robot or some sort of airship. Either would be really... REALLY cool. so I'm definately looking forwards to that. As for your questions about breeder stuff.. Not quite sure what to say about hatching... But I had my players shell out around 800,000 for both of the following... EggIncubator FossilizationMachine Not a purchase that they'll regret anytime soon. (U vU)b If you'd like me to post the stats for the entire mech, I'll do so. :0 I'm curious to see how you did yours too! Edited by masterofafros, Mar 15 2012, 08:20 PM.

.......one kickass spheal ... but if it's an amphibious TANK it needs a gun of some sort .... probably a giant version of the engineer's "pokeball cannon thing" feature. also.... it's powered by dwarf bidoofs ? well, you gotta do SOMETHING with the things, since you encounter them so often in their native region ...

Please don't use such huge quotes and tons of smilies. While I don't have any homebrew enhancements myself, you can probably just ballpark the price. Also, remember for penalize players for what it doesn't have. For example, I notice the Spheal lacks a radar system, which could prove disastrous when underwater and surrounded by enemies. Or escape pods, for that matter. |

The Black Glove, you sound like one of the GMs my players has encountered: rather cruel, but realistic. As for the tank, I love it. Since I started with Spheal in my campaign, it stands to reason that I love it. A swarm of Vaporeon sounds like a lovely thing to add to the campaign... |

Why thank you. I feel as though the players should have at least some sense of realism and threat. Otherwise, they walk through the campaign without really worrying too much.Don't worry though. I make sure that the journey is still fun along the way, and I support doing things "because it's awesome". |

Hold the phone; there are vehicles in this game? Since when? Is that in a handbook somewhere? If it was explained in a previous homebrew, please link that one. |

As for a better breeder, why not a 'Barry White' soundtrack, a bottle of pokewine, disco ball, sented pokecandles, a team of grass pokemon using attract, roses, sexy revealing pokebra. It would give me bonuses |
