[quote=ERode] Hm, in consideration to how we already have two other characters who are brute force focused (Domenico and Tzu Che), so you might want to figure out something else for Grimm to specialize in. Change that phrase in regards to his shield so that it won't be able to crush the heaviest of plate armors. I'm fairly certain that there will be at least one top tier peep who goes full tank mode and has godlessly heavy plate armor or something.[/quote] The brute force is there but the idea being that he mainly specializes in being a super heavy sniper(see below). I've reworded the section about the shield however. [quote=ERode]Seeing how he's currently in Donaieth, it might be reasonable to give his lance a more mechanical spin to it. Perhaps make it into a piledriver instead of simply a lance?[/quote] A piledriver is an excellent idea. Initially the gun and lance were to be a single weapon. [quote=ERode]His gun will not be recoilless, unless there's magitech involved. I'm imagining it more as a hand cannon than just a gun though, so feel free to correct me if my assumption is off.[/quote] Recoilless rifles are more along the lines of cannons that vent a large portion of the charge out of the back to reduce or eliminate the recoil. They pretty much put a 50mm-100mm cannon in the hands of a soldier to deal with tanks. Grimm would wield one on the smaller end of the scale. [quote=ERode]Where exactly does he get his mechanical intelligence from? He's born in Thao, and they generally give no shits about that, so he wouldn't exactly have any type of base knowledge regarding complex machinery (e.g guns, vehicles), unless his early years of repairing firearms was all trial-and-error-and-textbooks.[/quote] There's the part I was forgetting. Initially in Thaos he was more of a siege engineer than a foot soldier, dealing with fortifications and heavy equipment. The early work would have done a lot in teaching him as well. [quote=ERode]Oh yeah, not sure if it was explained properly, but Thao is a place without any laws. Essentially, he wouldn't be in legal trouble if he killed an officer. Hell, if he killed said officer, it'd be more likely that he would be promoted to fill that now vacant spot. You keep what you kill, and all that. So you should think up of another reason for his defection of Thao, or at least expand on his reason for running away.[/quote] That's fine, I have some ideas on how to expand on it. [quote=ERode]I'm also liking how a 36 year old looks older than our resident 60 year old. [/quote] Initially he was going to be closer to 50. I think I'll go back to that along with moving him slightly away from the brute force work. personally, I think the difference in appearance is that Domenico is aging faster but Grimm is aged by decades of actual combat. Thanks for the excellent input, I've made changes to the above character sheet.
