Hey, i had unspoken dibs! 

[Sanure]

Had? Then I guess I call offical dibs

[Akroma]

if dibs need to be spoken when ripping off material, dibs on all ToG related stuff

[Sanure]

Heh, I call dibs on helping you. :3

[USEC_OFFICER]

I said that I was going to make a mech game to replace UNMD, didn't I? Well here you guys go. And don't complain about the story or background because you gave me almost no input besides 'avoid the usual lame tropes'. _{You can bitch about the mechanics if you want, however.}

[PrivateNomad]

Typically an author writes his own plot.

[USEC_OFFICER]

No shit. I am referring to the fact that I asked if anybody had something they wanted to see in the game, and nobody responded besides Rolepgeek. Thus you had your chance to influence it and cannot complain about how lame it is.

You based it off of world war one.

[Akroma]

ripping off history, how low can you get?

[USEC_OFFICER]

You based it off of world war one.

And? I don't see your point, Kj.

ripping off history, how low can you get?

I could rip off anime.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Wait, you aren't ripping off anime already?

Also, are these steampunk mechs? Did not see that one coming.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Well it's 'inspired by' a couple of animes, but that doesn't count. Also they're more like dieselpunk mechs since they run off of biofuel instead of coal and we're in pseudo-WWI instead of pseudo-Victorian England. They are pretty close though.

[PrivateNomad]

Anyways, I'd like to discuss a potential problem in the game mechanics:
Health and defenses. You don't need to perform any complex mathematics to know that a higher health will take more damage than defense would. With DEF and RES you have a chance to block a random amount of damage, but with health you pretty much just take the damage instead of having it negated. Health blocks *3 the damage, without any perks.
Though while health is clearly more beneficial, you also must remember the benefits of DEF and RES. Defense negates damage, meaning it will also lower effects that depend on damage dealt, such as lifesteal or manaburn. Also, RES is used to negate magical effects as well, not just damage.

Discuss.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Simple solution: have Def and Res give a chunk of confirmed protection alongside the roll. +1 or +2 for every 5 levels in the stat should provide them with a bit more edge.

[Sanure]

Wait, So if a character has DEF 30 and RES 30 that would be

+6DR for physical
+6DR for Magical

Correct?
