Oh boy, more toys to play with! For comparison here's the Chromebook thread. It simplifies certain bionics using feats or easier calculations. As you can expect many of the bionics there are versions of what you already brought up. The thread also includes custom rules about Strain (which punishes people from cramming tons of bionics) Baleful Eye's kinda expensive, I think one could cheapen it by giving it the damage profile of a Laspistol instead. Some of these bionics are kinda overpriced and...overelegant for lack of a better term. Internal Reservoir seems fine Respiratory Filter Implant would be useful I don't see how more blood and nutrients would result in more power. A more feasible effect for Secondary Heart would be "when rolling for Blood Loss, roll twice and take the higher result" or something like that. Setesh Implant is very powerful, for some builds the drawback isn't even a drawback at all. Instead of Regeneration, maybe just make them immune to old age and no longer has any physiological needs? Very little homebrew provides Auto-Stabilized (e.g. Best-quality Hexapodal Assembly) because it allows you to effectively make two attacks per turn. Tox Nails is very strong, just the Toxic property is enough. Best-Quality would make it so wounds dealt can only be healed by time (aka the homebrew Festering property) Transgenic Grafting is outright OP if only for Regeneration (which I think applies out of combat) and Unnatural Toughness. Meanwhile in other homebrew, other sources of Regeneration is very temporary and getting Unnatural Toughness is either temporary (Juggernog) or really RNG (Mutation rules) Twitch-Mask, I think it should be Rare No comment on the armor aside from "Lanugo tried making a lot of them" THis past week has been exhausting so I couldn't say a lot
So I don't forget. My clipboard manager glitched out and killed my earlier draft of these. Blazblue Nox Nyctores (tl;dr edition) — they're all ArtifactsGigant: TakemikazuchiNot actually a player option Mucro Algesio: YukianesiaFencing Sword that lets you auto-cast Cryokinesis spells but drives you insane each time you do Arcus Diabolus: BolverkDual Autopistols that can transform into: a missile launcher, a pump shotgun, or a minigun; with unlimited ammo in all of those modes. User gets dulled emotions (e.g. lower Shock Table results, cannot use Frenzy) while wielding it. Deus Machina: NirvanaActually a 4-dot Ally with a specific stat block Mucro Somnio: MusashiPair of Short Daiklaves that can hit intangible targets and also targets in the Umbra from the Materium (and vice-versa). Attacker needs to see the target to do it, though Interfectum Malus: OokamiLong blade that nullifies the flow of magic, having the properties of both Axiomite and Adamantine artifact materials. Arma Reboare: MuchourinLets you cast Conjuration spells free but temporarily weakens your Wisdom because it drains your memories Geminus Anguium: OurobourosEnsnaring Knife-flail-chain that may cause the target to roll on the Shock Table Phoenix: RettenjoGiant nail that can destroy non-Darksteel artifacts. Definitely artifact 5 Lux Santus: MurakumoReconfigurable weapon that shifts between a Grand Daiklave and an array of floating blades Corpus Sepulcro: RequiemNot a player option

I've had these kicking around for a while but hit the proverbial wall.
A chosen alt that has 5e's divine intervention instead of divine power and demigod. Mechanically you're back to normal when it comes to rolling and may lose leeway, but get a chance for deus ex machina in a bind. I can't think of anything that isn't janky or balanced, and can't think of anything to fill in for leeway or prayer strip. I want three or four powers replaced for full alt. I have some ideas for assets based on domains sort of like I did for scion.
I also want to do an alt-radiant to do the rest of the green lantern colors and other stuff from princess the hopeful. But I can't think of anything to differentiate from the baseline. I want there to be a "good" radiant (green/white lanterns, etc.) and a "bad" radiant (red/black lanterns, etc.) with the current one being "good".

Puppeteer specialist class. There would be two ways of specialization, either control over singular puppets like Naruto and Blazblue, or control over minion squads to emulate Alice Margatroid. Alternatively, micro puppets would be represented with singular weapon profiles. Here's a very rough draft because I don't have the spare brainpower on this.
Level 2: - Chakra Threads: Allows you to maintain contact with someone or something at range like a shorter but more versatile Blood Wind - Macro Puppet: Create a custom Spirit, controlled with a Full Action - Micro Puppet: Create a minion squad, they are reduced by damage rolls
Level 3: - Extend String: Chakra Threads become longer, allowing you to fight further at range? - ??: Perform special attacks and trick shots through Macro Puppets - ??: Micro Puppets can have one or more weapon properties, decided by something
Level 4: - Corpse Puppet: Allows you to take someone's corpse and make a new puppet out of it. It retains non-proficiency feats and physical characteristics. Everything else uses yours. - ??: Maybe allow individual delay actions or something for Micro Puppets, where you place a pre-programmed doll and either it attacks via trigger or you decide when it does its one action

I have an possible idea for an alternate exaltation, that being an alternate Tuatha more based around Changeling: the Dreaming and some other fairy lore. The stuff I am trying to figure out is what features would need to be swapped out, what the alternate features will do, fluff, and a name.

...that sounds like change for change's sake, which should be taken as an indicator that the thing you want to change already does what you want it to do.

What Changing stuff do you want it to do that can not be achieved with the Tuatha in it's current form? What can it achieve for a Changeling in it's current form?

Actually, I figured out what I do want to swap/mortify out
-Wicked Masque
-Thousand-Masque Phantasmagoria
-Otherworldly Noble
-Least Unshaped Lord
As for the alternate features, but I don't know exactly what I am doing for them yet other more "whimsical". Maybe some magic dust generation or something like that.
As for a name, I thinking Kithain, and I do want make assets based around the Kiths from Changeling.

Are there any mass combat rules somewhere I'm missing? The way things are going, my group is going to need them in a few sessions, and all I have is a weird mix of the L5R and Pathfinder rules.

Are there any mass combat rules somewhere I'm missing? The way things are going, my group is going to need them in a few sessions, and all I have is a weird mix of the L5R and Pathfinder rules. No, closest you get is me mentioning them in the General Chat Thread. I remember I once tried thinking of Mass Combat rules for DtD but all I got was "steal from GURPS 4e: Mass Combat", mainly the Significant Actions part (which is kinda like stunting). Don't expect anything to come out of it though, it was merely a passing fancy. There's also another setting-agnostic system I'd like to bring up and it's Chain Reaction by Two Hour Wargames (and its melee counterpart, Swordplay). Unlike the GURPS splatbook, those ones are free. I also have Chain Reaction 3.0 (2009), and the 2015 edition (which got bundled with the 2018 version in the link)—you can find the former two somewhere else. I have no idea where to go with this but I think Reputation and Star Power could be salvaged into something workable. pre-edit: Okay, Chain Reaction and Swordplay not exactly Mass Combat. THW's systems are Wargames (thus involving miniatures and tokens) but I'm sure each Star/Grunt could be abstracted further to represent whole squads or something. I dunno. Also you're the guy who made the Minion thread, just use those. Here are some of my house rules for minions. What I remember for Minion Rule tweaks username used a long time ago: - You can have more than 6 minions per squad, useful for representing zombie hordes that get really weak as you cut them down (username used a squad of 100 zombies with a threat rating of 1) - Minion squads have an additional +2k2 per roll to represent elite mooks - Minions have their equivalent of Resilience and must be dealt damage rolls to represent tough mooks Choose one, don't combine them as they're meant for different things
Additional rules: - When using Flamers, use the Threat Rating in place of Dexterity for determining the TN to avoid the attack - When using thrown grenades, increase the Blast radius of their explosions by their Threat Rating (to represent distributing their bombs on a wider area) Note that a single minion doesn't have to represent an individual. Depending on the scale, you could fluff it so that Minion squads are platoons and each "minion" represents a squad, or something. Have certain minion squads have flight and immunity from non-flying squads, give them access to regular combat actions and refluff them somehow (All-Out Attack can represent a suicidal charge), etc.

I would like a luminary variant that focuses on the stars, how do? Refluff, no mechanical changes. Plus, the Sun is just a star that's really close. Plus, there's the Celestial, which is an alternate Atlantean.

Gun focused atlantian alternative, I would love that I think you're getting too ahead of yourself. How about you introduce yourself in the General Chat Thread? How did you even learn about DtD?
