Scarab Sages

1 person marked this as a favorite.

so, I'm running an all-tech campaign and one of my players come up with the idea of a cavalier that has a bike instead of a mount. right now, im just throwing things in the air to see what sticks! Sorry if it comes up a little messy!

Steel rider

A cavalier does not take an armor check penalty on Ride checks while riding his mount. A ride consumes 1charge/hour and has a battery that can hold up up to 50 charges

Link (Ex)

A cavalier can sustain the speed of his ride as a swift action instead of a move action and accelerate/decelerate as a move action. He also receives a +4 bonus on drive checks.

Evasion (Ex)
When the cavalier succeeds on a reflex save for half damage while riding, the ride suffers no damage at all.

Unbreakable (Ex)
A ride is immune to the broken condition while being riden.

Special abilities (Ex): *just random ideas at this point

Side-spill (spill some oil or caltrops)

Fumes (makes a small cloud of toxic fumes)

Side-rider (may share a square with a friendly creature while riding)

move it or loose it (trample)

Drag along (improved drag)

Improved Ram (Ex): The ride's tire attack now deals 2d8 damage.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When the cavalier fails on a reflex save for half damage while riding, the ride suffers only half damage.


You might want to pick up Thunderscape. It was a lot of tech and technomancy stuff. Plus the Thunder Scout class has a vehicle companion.


Please tell me it'll have a name like "Wheelie" or "Skids". :P

I'd just use the stats for a large animated object, and use the three construction points it gets for being large for a Move of 60, Metal Body, and the Trample attack. As it advances, allow it to take additional CP abilities instead of a feat.


Flagged for being in wrong sub-forum - this should be in Suggestions/Homebrew/Houserules.

Cool idea though. :)

Sorry for posting on the wrong forum! Still kinda new!

@Imbicatus: I'd don't just want balanced stats, I want something fun to play!
