#1 Mcnancy Jan 26, 2009 0:24:12	I want to put this sort of clockwork, pneumatic, steam powered, armor plated mechsuit with a rocketpack in my game; something like a large clunky Ironman I'm not really sure how to put it game terms, My first thought is a vehicle that grants full cover but I'm not really sure where to go from there, any ideas?

But for a single occupant medium (all be it on the large end of medium), i would suggest creating it/them as artifact armour; that way you don't have to worry about the items HP or going out of control etc. As an artifact armour it could have properties that give bonuses to skills or defences (or both), it could have an item power that allows for flight. You could even have other artifact items that are a part of the set, allowing for ironmans palm blasters or other attachments.
