Unread post by The Baron of chaos »

Is more a developing and combo or already present
Bio-Force Field Enhancements
Pre-requisited: a bio-force field that is upgraded to the new form. Generall in form of glowing orbs along forearms
Force Weapons: the bio-electric filed take the shape of a melee weapon. The weapon so generated does the same damage as normal one +1d6 in Megadamage.
M.D.C. of the weapon: 2d8x10 MDC but take damage only if attacked directly
Bio-E Cost: 15 Bio-E per weapon shape. Note that thos measn you lose your pretty defensive force field as it is now shaped as weapon

Force shield: this simply focus the bio-Force field into a shield shape around the forerarm
While it does not offer the same degree of protection of full body force field it prove very usefull to parry in close combat
M.D.C. 1d6x10+20 and is +2 to parry

Armored Wings: Just like it sound these are wings covered by a layer of chitinous ceramic like armor. They are tougher and their edges can be used for deadly swooping attacks.
Prerequisite: Wings and Qull defence(hard feathers), that are combined (you lose the quill defence)
MDC (2 wings): +2d6x50 each
Bonuses: the wings can be used to parry much like shield, of course not in flight! +1 to parry using the wings
Mega-Damage: punch damage + 1d6 megadamage, If quill launchers modification is taken to, they are part of the wings.

Bio-force kinesis: this is quite rare modification. Building three bio-force field projectors along the arm and one in the palm of the hand, it is possible create a thin layer of force around far object allowing to move them . Is quite complicated to use properly. But is extremely useful when in need to move a metallic object and no technojackers are around
Allow to move roughly 200 lbs at 100 ft range max
Bonuse: + 2 to strike and parry with objects , that's the only bonus possibles while using bio-force kinesis. Damage for thrown object is 1d6 MD per 20 lbs
Prerequisite: a bio-force field with at least 220 M.D.C
Bio-E Cost: 25 Bio-E

Bio-E Cost: 15

Blinding Web: The chemical concoction of the organic web is modified so it does impermeable by most of radiation and heat. What does this mean, apart from the web being of shiny grey color, like silver threads? Well for once the web can be use dot easily impair sight and advanced form of detection. Wrappin a sensor, be it head, an antenna or what ever extra appendage hold extra sense, in the web impair radar, thermal, infrared and heat sensors and radio comminications. Usefull to take out robot sensors before it could do anything

Even more

Organic Cloak: Despite the name it could take the shape of a cloak , a long scarf, or even a trenchcoat. This is part of the host armor, and has some peculiarity. First off allow gliding, same as gliding membranes, but not only. The cloak can move and bend responding neuro-impulse and chimical reaction of the pilot. As such they can move as tentacles, entangling, whipping, and parrying attacks. And look so damn cool. The cloak can detach at will, by the way, much like lizard's tail. And it will regrow completely
Prerequisite: Gliding Membranes and One additional pair of tentacles that merge into the cloak
Bonuses: Glide as per gliding membranes, +3 to parry, + 2 to entangle and +1 to whiplash strike, Whip strike does 1d8+4 Megamage or 4d6 SDC damage can be regulated, add +2 to Awe/Horror Factor
M.D.C. of the cloak: 2d4x10+15
Bio-E cost: 10 Bio-E

Electrofist: This is more an add on of Electrical weapons, something implicit into it. Simply channeling electricity through hands allow to add the electrical damage to the punch. Is cost no bio-e as is something you can already do( Electrical weapons can be used on touch, and who said the touch doesn't have to be punch?)
Cost: it counts as power punch, two action per melee

Rocket Punch: AKA angel's fist, mounting organic thrusters on the forerarm and synchronizing them with the act of punching, add an hell of power to the punching damage. The Angel's fist nickname coma from the vapors generated by the thursters right before strike.
Prerequisite: Hands: Armored Skin, Reinforced Forearm , Organic Thrusters(note they move on the arms so no flight is possible)
Mega-Damage: 1d8x10+20
Rate of fire: cost three attack per melee and can be performed only once per melee
Bonus: +2 to strike
Bio-E cost: 5 points( befroe you say is too low look at the prerequisites)

Explosive Web Ball: Combining a large sphere of web with the organic explosive make some one nasty surprise for opponents. This is one added feature to normal Spinnerets, allowing to conjure a web ball to throw at opponets. The sphere explode on impact , shooting a web in a radius of 20ft. The web is made of 3d6x10 web strands.
Prerequisite: Spinnerets and Webbing, One organic rocket
Mega-Damage: none, but take in count all those web strands impairing movements
Rate of fire: one Explosive web ball per melee
Duration: same as normal web
Bio-E Cost: 10 points per spinnerets to be modified

Sensible nets: Some spiders areable to feel everything tha tcome in contact with their web. Creating a large web and combining with an attuned motion detection an host armor could pretty much do the same
Prerequisite: Spinnerets and webbing, Motion detection
Bonuses: The range of motion detection is increased by the size of the web, as long as one is in physical contact with one's own web, plus +3 initiative.
Web size: 15 ft radius per webbing use, but creating one took one hour per 50 ft
Bio-E Cost: 5 points

Healing Cocoon: This derive from the genetics of some insects. And proved quite useful in saving the life of soliders on frontline. this bio-modification allow to created an hard cocoon of web strands, inside the coccoon temperature low and the user fall inot a sort of healing hybernation. Of course is always wise choose an hidden and safe location before cocooning oneself.
Prerequisite: Spinnerets and webbing, Regeneration: Enhanced or better
Bonuses: while in the cocoon healing speed is doubled, + 2 to save vs. poison/toxins/drugs.
M.D.C. of the cocoon: 1d4x10+80 does not emit thermal and infrared radiations
Duration: up to 12+2d6 hours.
Bio-E cost: 10 points

What he said.
Nice enhancements.
Have you though of harvesting any from the HU thread New Powers?
I hate it when my mind wonders,
Because I have no idea what it will bring back with it.

perquisites: vampire fangs & lithavore diet
basically your host armor can drain the oil/gasoline from machines to power itself!

think the machines mostly run on nuclear.

but you could easily just have something like a lithovore diet that benefits from consuming reactor fuel and get the same basic idea i suppose. honestly might be more plausible than some of the other diet-specific enhancements i've seen actually. i could definitely see depleted uranium casting cannons doing more than regular lithovore casting cannons, or having a giant bipedal lizard with atomic breath ;) :P

(be careful on that second one though, you never know what might randomly show up to fight it while it's stomping through cities smashing buildings and chomping nex-androids).

Air burper-the host armor can swallow a gulp of air (the amount could possibly vary with the level of the wearer) and cause a devastating burp that could cause a small (1d2 per level earthquake) that could potentially damage/destroy the machine
