Since we don't have a general Robot Warriors discussion thread, I thought I'd start one. It's here because RW is under Star Hero in the store. Rules questions, questions about how the build system works, mecha builds, weapon builds, character builds, anything Robot Warriors is welcome here. And for any edition. I'll post some stuff shortly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike "Blazer" Machido VAL CHA Cost Total Roll Notes 15 STR 5 15 12- HTH Damage 3d6 END [1] 18 DEX 16 18 13- 10 CON 0 10 11- 13 INT 3 13 12- PER Roll 12- 10 EGO 0 10 11- 10 PRE 0 10 11- PRE Attack: 2d6 6 OCV 15 6 6 DCV 15 6 3 OMCV 0 3 3 DMCV 0 3 3 PD 1 3 3 PD (0 rPD) 2 ED 0 2 2 ED (0 rED) 3 SPD 10 3 Phases: 4, 8, 12 5 REC 1 5 20 END 0 20 11 BODY 1 11 23 STUN 2 23 Movement Combat NCmbat Notes Running 14m 28m END [1] Swimming 4m 8m END [1] Leaping 4m 8m 4m forward, 2m upward Cost MARTIAL ARTS Basic Martial Arts 4 1) Martial Block: 1/2 Phase, +2 OCV, +2 DCV, Block, Abort 4 2) Martial Strike: 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +2 DCV, 5d6 Strike 3 3) Martial Throw: 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +1 DCV, 3d6 +v/10, Target Falls Cost SKILLS 10 +1 with All Attacks 7 AK: American Southwest 16- 7 Combat Driving 15- 7 Combat Piloting 15- 3 Concealment 12- 5 CuK: Alien Culture and Notables 14- 5 KS: Tech Underground 14- 2 Language: Spanish (fluent conversation) 3 Mechanics 12- 3 Paramedics 12- 3 Streetwise 11- 3 TF: Mecha, Helicopters, Small Planes 6 WF: Common Melee Weapons, Small Arms, Earth Force Mecha Weapons Cost TALENTS 4 +2/+2d6 Striking Appearance (vs. anyone attracted to men) COMPLICATIONS Value Hunted: Sirians Infrequently (Mo Pow; Harshly Punish) 15 Hunted: Tech Underground Infrequently (Mo Pow; Watching) 5 Social Complication: Subject to Orders: Tech Underground Frequently, Major 15 Psychological Complication: Needs to prove his manhood (Very Common; Strong) 20 BACKGROUND/HISTORY "Blazer" Machido was a young punk running around the southwest in a jeep when the Slissii came. He was trying to get away from the city where he had grown up. The kids had always treated him as a "pretty boy" and he was always fighting to try to get respect. When the aliens landed he went right on fighting and found his way into the Tech Underground. CAMPAIGN_USE Mike "Blazer" Machido is a sample player character for Robot Warriors, and can also be used as an NPC robot pilot. PERSONALITY Mike feels like he has a lot to prove.

@zorak asked this in Rules Questions, and seemed a little shy about starting a topic over here. I thought it deserved some discussion, so... Zorak, the way most folks would probably do it is using a Vehicle to represent the mech, with Extra Limbs for the arms if it has them. A Transformer or Veritech Fighter type could have a Multiform. I also happen to favor the third edition standalone game Robot Warriors though it's a bit behind the times as far as modern HERO System rules are concerned. RW has its own separate build system for mechs, similar to but not quite the same as the current edition's vehicle rules. You might check it out. Also, definitely take a look at Star Hero and The Ultimate Vehicle (for 5th edition, but it's compatible with 6th with a little bit of reworking). Anyone else want to chime in?
