Our friends at Elderbrain updated us today about one of the items within their forthcoming Spawns of the Mindrender which launches live on the 5th May at 1200PM ET which is being run on Backerkit and if you follow early you get a delightful 15% off as a follower discount code.
Todays update brings to the table The Vordani Battletech:
The Vordani reject magic, so they have mastered machinery instead. Their answer to spellcasters, monsters, and rival clans is Battletech: brutal exosuits and weapon systems powered by kinetic energy and engineered for war. These devices appear throughout the campaign and can be operated, repaired, or mastered by characters who train in their use. Below is a full overview of all known Battletech gear found in the land of Vordan:
Battleframes are light, mobile exoskeletons worn over armor, built for frontline berserkers. They allow their wearers to wield oversized weapons with speed and stability:
Sawblade Arm – Spinning forearm disc that deals heavy slashing damage and tears deeper on crits.
Pulverizer Hammer – Piston-driven hammer delivering concussive blows, knocking enemies prone.
Lance Driver – Reinforced charging spike that deals extra damage after moving.
Spear Launcher – Short-range bolt launcher built into the frame.
Flayer Blades – Spinning shoulder blades that lash all nearby enemies.
Razor Ring Shield – A shield with a spinning blade that retaliates when foes miss.
Warhusks are heavy, nonmagical exoskeletal vehicles. They enhance Strength, boost AC, and turn their pilots into a walking siege engine. Warhusks impose penalties to Dexterity and movement, but massively enhance raw power and durability. A warhusk can carry three modular weapon systems from these options:
Sawblade Arm – High-damage rotating disc for brutal melee attacks.
Pulverizer Hammer – Piston hammer that knocks targets prone.
Lance Driver – Armor-piercing strike with bonus charge damage.
Flame Belcher – Shoulder-mounted flamethrower (20-ft cone).
Spear Launcher – Heavy bolt launcher dealing serious piercing damage.
Flayer Blades – Spiked chains that shred nearby creatures.
Saw Shield – Reactive spinning shield that damages attackers.
Vordani ammunition and specialty bolts are used with crossbows or mounted ballistae.
Chain Bolt – Fires a trailing chain to pull targets or anchor shots.
Shrapnel Bolt – Explodes into shards on impact.
Ignition Bolt – Ignites targets and flammable terrain.
Shredder Bolt – A spinning, embedded disc that continues shredding on the next turn.
Vordani bombs are thrown mechanical grenades engineered for battlefield control. Some of the more unique ones are:
Ooze Bomb – Acid burst that slows enemies and creates difficult terrain.
Mold Bomb – Necrotic spore cloud that poisons and blinds.
Rust Bomb – Corrosive dust that weakens nonmagical metal weapons and armor.
