New Splicers Material (it continues)

Unread post by Snake Eyes »

After a long hiatus, due to health, i have managed to be able to get around to designing stuff for Splicers......

Anyway, here's my first entry to start the ball rolling

Weeping Willow

The Weeping Willow is a twisted dark version of the Razor Willow, it has most of the same abilities as the
Razor Willow, but unlike the Razor Willow this tree will attack anything that comes within 30 feet of the tree.
Along with the razor whip branches, the tree sports 6 hidden Tentacle Harpoons. What makes this tree so bad
Is that it feeds off animal matter, it grabs the victim and will try to rip it apart and drop the pieces by the roots
where they pull the “food” underground and slowly digest it.

It gets its name from the sweet smelling moisture it secretes along its branches and a watery substance that runs down the trunk to attract animals, not only that, the tree literally weeps and moans softly which sounds like a
crying woman or child, this attracts curious passers by who wonder where the sound is coming from.



Game Stats: Same stats as the Razor Willow in Rifter #50 pg. 69, except the Bio-E cost is 45, and growth time
is slower (double growth time)

H.F.: 16 when its known where the sound is coming from

Welcome back Snake Eyes! May I ask if you are back to 100%? Or at least fairly close?

At any rate, glad to see you back on the boards.

The Yao Guai (demon bear) is a recent addition to House DarkHaven, a new type of War Mount that can devestate the robot hordes, or strike fear in enemy troops from opposing houses.
Because of the aggressive design of this monstrosity, (1) the very high strength, and (2) the hightened aggressiveness, the life span is purposely greatly reduced, always having a bio-meltdown upon death, sometimes explosive.

Increased M.D.C. (x2), Reinforced Exoskeleton, Resistance to Cold,
Adrenaline Surge, Explosive Death (see below for details)
(gets numbers 2-5-see book for details, pg. 109 &110)

Another House DarkHaven idea (still have to write the backstory)

DAEMON CLASS “HYBRID” HOST ARMOR

Background: The new Daemon Host Armor, developed by House DarkHaven, is used specifically by the Hells Angels aerial troops. This new armor was designed by a high-ranking Geneticist as a request by the commander of the Hells Angels when she nearly lost her life in an attack by a group of renegade Technojackers along with their small army of ‘bots.

This new lightweight Host Armor is a form-fitting suit that is a combination of Host Armor and “Living” body armor that is lighter weight and gives the pilot added protection on par with the Chitinous “Living” armor without the movement penalties. Another interesting feature is that like true Host Armor, this suit can be continually “upgraded” plus the armor does not bond with the pilot, so anyone can use/wear it. So far, only the Hells Angels senior officers have this new armor, though more are being made for the rest of the troops, but until then they have to rely on the standard Archangel garb. The look of the armor unnerving, it is solid black with a pair of large leathery bat-like wings sprouting from the back, the legs resemble the hind legs of an animal such as a goat or bull, including hoofed feet, the head also has a demonic look along with a mouth full of sharp teeth (the mouth is just for show), the head usually has pair of horns, if not more.

Class: Hybrid Host Armor
Crew: One Human Pilot

Base M.D.C. by Location:
Arms (2): 2D4x10+40 each
Hands (2): 25 each
Legs (2): 2D4x10+50 each
Feet (2): 40 each
Head: 1D6x10+50
Main Body: 2D8x10+80
Armored Eyes (2): 10 each

Speed:
Running: 55 mph
Leaping: Can leap up to 15 feet high,
or 30 feet (12.2 m) across
Flying: 220 mph
Swimming: Triples the normal swimming speed
Underwater Depth: The Host Armor can withstand
pressure up to 150 feet down

Statistical Data:
Height: add a few inches to the height of the pilot
Width: add a few inches to the pilot
Length: Adds a few inches to the pilot
Weight: +80 lbs. added to the pilot's weight
Cargo: None, other than what can be strapped to the
Host Armor or carried
Physical Strength: 20 (Splicer/Robotic Strength)
Operational Lifetime: 25 year life span
Bio-Regeneration: 6D6 M.D.C. per minute
(or 6D6x10 M.D.C. per hour) for the main body,
2D6 M.D.C. per minute for all other locations.
Horror Factor: 9 for humans and other intelligent life forms;
none against the machines.
Senses & Features: The Host Armor has all common Host
Armor features, plus, Radar, Resistance to Heat, Resistance
to Kinetic Energy/Attacks, Resistance to Lasers, Elongated
Running Legs, Hoofed Feet, Medium Claws, Horns (medium)

NO METABOLISM: Unlike a true Host Armor, this suit has no metabolism to feed itself, though it could
be considered Photosynthetic

Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use ranged weapons,
the pilot may engage in hand to hand combat:

Restrained Punch: 2D6+5 S.D.
Full Strength Punch: 1D6+4 M.D.
Power Punch: 2D6 M.D.
Kick: 1D4 M.D.
Leap Kick: 2D4 M.D.

there is nothing stating that regular living armour cannot be further upgraded. there aren't any classes that get such a benefit in the core book, but for example there is no limitation preventing you from spending awarded bio-E points on your armour (most of the inherent bio-E gained from leveling is very specifically assigned to something, but points granted as a gift or reward for excellent service can presumably go to whatever you want).

np. i feel like it really is a missed opportunity to ignore the fact that most of the host armour/war mount upgrades are available for living armour too :)

of course, some of them wouldn't work so well... for example, some of the ranged weapons reload when the armour/mount eats. that's great if you've got something like a lithovore, but not so great if you've got a living armour that only "eats" once every several days. and regeneration, well... living armour has so much innate regeneration it feels like a waste of bio-E.

but some are just great, as well, so it all balances out :)

Yeah, one example in the book shows an Archangel's wing pack having a Gore Cannon, but then you look at the stats for the Wing Pack, it says that it draws in nutrients andsun light like an air fern.
Another interesting feature is that like true Host Armor, this suit can be continually “upgraded”

You can already choose a serpentine lower body in the Splicers Bio-armor creation charts(one is even illustrated with a snake-like lower body). Splicers pg. 92. They even refer to it in the text as 'the mythical appearance of being half-man and half-snake', so effectively just about ANYTHING built on that basis could be called a 'Naga'. Given that the feature appears in the general construction rules, such armors aren't likely to be terribly exclusive.

Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Exactly, that style would be common

Which old Jewish myths are you referring to specifically?
Golems sound more like robots, rather than biotech, and the Machine is probably spoken of as a 'rogue golem', with the Splicers frantically trying to find the means to reverse the empowering writing to become instruction for the Machine to 'die'.
