Corpus Mechanicus

(For more information about Engineering Fields and related rules, consult the following thread: Engineering Field)

The Corpus Mechanicus is a group of cybernetics intusiasts that think stopping at just "improving" the body is just too shalow of an use for their wonderful creations, and as such, they move their efforts to instead expand their body by adding extra "stuff", like limbs or even joints to help their bodies move. Sometimes they end up adding too much, and doing the basics end up becoming their main problem.

This Field was thought out to be used with Aedeptus Mechanicus.

2* Function: An Extra Hand, 5 Charges
Choose a piece of equipment of the Weapon or Gear types you have equipped. You may use this equipment at a -0k1 penalty.

Needs an action type. You probably want free action or reaction.

1* Function: Better than the real thing, 3 Charges
Choose a specific Action when constructing this Gadget. Gain a +1k0 bonus to the roll to use this Gadget as the Action declared on creation.

Using a gadget is not a roll. Gadgets can benefit rolls and that's how this should be worded.

1* Function: 360° No Scope, 3 Charges
This action does not trigger Opportunity Attacks and you get +0k2 against Dodge actions.

Cut this in half. One or the other is fine on its own.
And you still haven't specified if the bonus is to dodging or to hit someone who has attempted to dodge.

2* Command: Laser Pointer
This Gadget activates on an Aim Action. Add 0k1 to a full Aim Action.

Remove the bonus. Make it a function if you want.

2* Function: Ejection Jets, 3 Charges
Instantly move 1 zone* (Zones as in the Zone Homebrew rule, otherwise it is just enough to instantly evade any melee action).

An auto-success dodge is broken.

2* Function: Electric Field, 2 Charges
Create an electromagnetic field immediately around you. This will cause a Disarm Action with a score of your (Tech Use+Intelligence)*2 against all opponents in melee range.

"Anyone in melee with you must make a Level+Weaponry test with a TN equal to 2*(dots in Tech Use + dots in Intelligence) or be disarmed."

3* Function: Turn of the Century, 2 Charges
The effect of the Gadget is applied in a 360° degree radius. Effectively it will do an All Out Attack without restricting Parry or Dodge actions.

I understand this as "perform an all-out attack against every opponent in melee with you. You may still parry and dodge afterwards." This is two rather expensive sword school advantages welded together and made rather cheap.

Boosting to inform it was updated and if the new format (plus the writing, since I really want to prevent confusion with this one) are good.

Aw, man. I missed when danger zone was instant. Your field, your choice but still.

Extended reach needs a duration.

I mostly thought reaction made more sense since it depends on an opponent's action first

Also, added the "until the next turn" to the effect.

Mostly changed the focus of this school to be more of a spacing based school instead of just avoiding close quarters.
