Re: Techno Wizard question.
No. Radar is not an energy attack.
You need Invisibility Superior for that, which does negate technological sensors.

Ok, Thank you.
Invisibility Superior will hide my Banshee.
Fly as The Eagle will give it Silent Flight.

Re: Techno Wizard question.
Yes.
Just Remember, Invisibility Superior will drop as soon as you attack. while it's good for getting a sneak attack round in, it can get expensive to keep popping it over and over.
best thing is to use that setup for hit and run.
Invisibility Superior to get the first round of attacks off, hopefull sowing some confusion in your wake. Then when your done, or taking on damage, put Invisibility Superior up again, then mystic portal out.

Re: Techno Wizard question.
I always looked at impervious to energy as it would prevent the unit from taking damage from energy.
radar just reflects off a structure and doesn't cause damage (typically) therefor impervious to energy would have no effect on radar/ladar or equivalents

Re: Techno Wizard question.
Just a note on Mystic Portal...
Unless your GM allows you to modify the spell significantly... your going to need something to cast the portal ON (the spell has to be cast onto a surface, as written you can't just use it to teleport nor cast it onto 'thin air')
And of course there are the issues of modifying the spell so that it has the size and range you will want (and accuracy... you really don't want to miss jump with a teleport effect...)
But all of that just falls under the "TW doesn't actually have rules just guidelines so your GM will have to make up what the rules are for their game anyway" issue with TW.

The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Re: Techno Wizard question.
mystic portal has all the accuracy you need.
i recommend pairing it with a spell that creates a force field so you have something to cast the portal on

Re: Techno Wizard question.
If you have Mercenary Adventures, you can use the spell Invisibility to Sensors to beat radar systems (and it doesn't stop working when you attack either).

Re: Techno Wizard question.
Does the giant size rune weapon in RCB2 do any different damage then human sized rune weapons?*@ say as to that might answer your question*
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I would say no. The reason is that spells don't change with the size of the caster so why would a magic sword. But we also always played it, that if you had MCD H2H then you can add SP bonus to damage.
Are you going to keep the spells sound based?

Re: Techno Wizard question.
I was thinking a Power Halbred converted to magic power source.
Thunderclap.
Call Lightning.
Mist Form.
Windrush.
Normal size is 1D6×10md.
I figured a Giantsize 20 foot one should get.
+50% blade Damage 2D4×10+10md.

It already had unlimited ammo and does great damage.
I want to upgrade the Stealth Capabilities and depleatable weapon Systems to magic. Mainly the mini missiles and Handheld weapons.
My Copilot isn't a Techno-Wizard Ninja so i need to leave Normal weapon and piloting systems so i can make use of her additional attacks.
Gunner Sonic Cannon and Missiles.
Pilot Halbred, Arm Weapon Systems and Kicks.

The 'R' could have also meant Revised.
But either way, could you cite the page number please because I could not find it.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.
