HippoRider 10-26-04, 11:40 PM	I'm thinking a fighter/artificer specializing in ranged mounted combat. Either gnome for the gadget factor or human for the raw ambition. Anyone have any tips for fleshing it out?
Splendide 10-26-04, 11:43 PM	Think of a character name and background ;) I guess the main question would be why a Warforged Titan would agree to be mounted. Was it specially commissioned? (The PC must be rich). Then, why does it still agree to be mounted? It is not obliged to be. From there you can probably get your character.
Neofish 10-27-04, 12:05 AM	I already used a dude like this in a Flashback for my players... I used a Warforged Titan with a chariot like attachment on top of it for a Wizard standing on top of it. Treat the chariot top like a shield tower that provides a cover bonus instead of a shield bonus as it covers almost half the rider's body. The scene was neat, a whole Warforged battalion (sp?) marching through a raveged town. and behind the marching colums of Warforged lumbers this giant Titan with a Captain atop, barking orders out to his troops...
HippoRider 10-27-04, 12:09 AM	I was thinking that the BBEG wf titan rider could have some sort of connection to house cannith and that the titan would be a specially modfied salvaged titan. upon further reflection I have come up with the classes and feats for our BBEG human fighter 1: mounted combat, mounted archery, pointblank shot fighter 2: precise shot fighter 3: dodge fighter 4: mobility artificer 1: no feats artificer 2: mobility artificer 3: no feats artficer 4: attune magic weapon artificer 5: heroic spirit artificer 6: no feats artificer 7: no feats artificer 8: wand mastery, maximize spell
HippoRider 10-27-04, 12:34 AM	doh i should have posted this in races classes and monsters! If a mod would be so kind as to move it? Jeremy

Let alone twice....
Faulted-Industry 10-27-04, 12:50 AM	I had a halfling who I guess you could say "rode" a warforge titan... but actually it was more or less without the warforged titan's consent as I initiated a grapple and stayed in its blind spot, that epic was short-lived as little did I realize the +32 the warforged titan got to the Jump skill and the increasingly hard DCs that followed as the warforged titan attempted rid himself of me with sheer momentum... ah good times <Sorry to interject that, though you should note that the +32 to jump allows it to run-and-jump 100+ feet... I dunno... sounds unbalanced at best...
HippoRider 10-27-04, 01:35 AM	ah thanks lets try that feat list again fighter 1: mounted combat, mounted archery, pointblank shot fighter 2: precise shot fighter 3: exotic weapon proficiency(repeating heavy crossbow) fighter 4: rapid shot artificer 1: no feats artificer 2: rapid reload artificer 3: no feats artficer 4: attune magic weapon artificer 5: heroic spirit artificer 6: no feats artificer 7: no feats artificer 8: wand mastery, maximize spell
Ectoplasmoid 10-27-04, 11:14 AM	Oh! Oh! Can it, like, fly? And like shoot lasers? And, like, make a big robot with it's buddies? Sorry- I couldn't resist.
HippoRider 10-27-04, 03:30 PM	technically it can :D except for the whole make a giant robot with its buddies thing :cool:
Beleriphon 10-27-04, 04:54 PM	Oh! Oh! Can it, like, fly? And like shoot lasers? And, like, make a big robot with it's buddies? Sorry- I couldn't resist. Of course, and we shall call him Warforged Megatitanzord!
Faulted-Industry 10-28-04, 12:56 AM	Of course, and we shall call him Warforged Megatitanzord! lol... I watched that show when I was like six... But I think that the idea of riding a warforged titan is like Dungeon Magizine printing the stats for a black Chocobo from FF7... You know the Warforged titans were like on the front lines of combat, they were meant to be the heavy in weakening the front lines of undead and such... and if I was a warforged titan, I would find it most demeaning that I am somebody's mount, think about their feelings.
SahinTC 10-28-04, 01:13 AM	AFAIK, Titan's aren't sentient. Read their descriptions under both the Warforged section in the Races chapter and the Warforged Titan in the Monsters Chapter. They were just a tool of the beginning of the Last War, any character could ride one as long as they knew how to operate it.
InkBlot 10-28-04, 01:13 PM	I think you're confusing the Warforged Chargers with the Warforged Titans. The Chargers were the mounts, and IIRC they were living constructs with an animal level intelegence.
PlasmaBunny 10-28-04, 01:19 PM	Warforged titans are cheap golems, thats all. They would object to being rode as much as an Iron golem would. In other words, not at all.
