Griffon Force

[JmOz]

Making an homage to Voltron (lion Force) called Griffon Force.  However it is an homage, not a strait conversion.  First big difference is that they are griffons not lions ( ).  However another difference (depending on the version) is that each griffon will be different.  I have worked up the "base" griffon, this is the basic abilities all (or at least most) will have.  Right now this is what I have.  I plan on spending about 75 25-50 more points on each to specialize them

 

Griffon-1: Base unit, largest and the generalist of the group.  This is also the one everyone chips in to pay for BTW

Griffon-2: Assault Unit, basically I see him having the most powerful weapons.

Griffon-3: Recon

Griffon-4: ?????

Griffon-5: Tank: while it might actually have a more powerful weapon than 2, it will be the slowest and heaviest of the 5

 

Any ideas on Griffon-4?

Okay, made some minor changes to base griffon, not going to bother posting them, but here is Griffon-1...Griffon 4 is still a major problem.  Griffon 1 is ironically going to be about 3 points weaker than the other 4 (I know, not that big of a difference) while it does house the Matrix conversion)

Its an interesting concept for a team, I like it.  Even if not a campaign it would make a fun NPC team to run into.

[death tribble]

Griffon force ? This is just a flight of fancy.

[mrinku]

Following 5-team tropes , you'll have:

 

Leader (Griffin 1)

Lancer (Griffin 2)

Big Guy (Griffin 5)

Smart Guy (Griffin 3)

 

Leaving Griffin 4 to be the Chick. 

 

Needs to be the moral heart of the team. Maybe a medical or buffing role?

[Christougher]

Environmental Specialist?  Speedster?  Communications/Operations/Computer specialist?

 

I had similar concerns when I was tinkering with a Team Knight Rider idea.  Each vehicle had a similar central build, with different purposes and special abilities.  Tank, shapeshift, invisibility, speedster, force field, etc..

 

Chris.

[mrinku]

Actually, if Griffon-3 (Recon) were the Chick, Griffon-4 could be the Smart Guy in a communications and tech support role.

Repair, healing, communication... 

[JmOz]

Here is the base for the pilots, esspecial attention to their space suits, basicaly minor power armor.  Each pilot should have 50 more points to themselves, and 35 points to armor...
