SKY SLED (5th Edition Space Fantasy Monster)

The Sky Sled is a flying vehicle from the Masters of the Universe setting (created by Mattel).

For this build, I was inspired by the art of Eddie Del Rio, who produced a ton of excellent concept art of what MOTU might be like in a modern production. You should check it out! It's excellent stuff!

Onto the build...


SKY SLED

Medium construct, unaligned

Armor Class 14 (armor plating)

Hit Points 33 (6d8+6)

Speed 0 ft., fly 60 ft.


Str 13 (+1) Dex 17 (+3) Con 13 (+1)

Int 1 (-5) Wis 10 (+0) Cha 1 (-5)


Saving Throws Dexterity +5

Damage Immunity poison, psychic

Damage Resistances necrotic

Condition Immunity diseased, poisoned

Languages --

Challenge 2 (450 XP), Prof. Bonus +2

Circuitry. The sky sled has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that deal EMP or lightning damage.

Piloted. The sky sled requires an active pilot to take any actions, and if the pilot is subject to any conditions that the sky sled is not immune to, the sky sled is also subject to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the sly sled.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The sky sled makes two attacks with its blaster cannon.

Blaster Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 60/240 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8+3) radiant damage.

REACTIONS

Redirect. If the sky sled's pilot takes damage from a source the pilot is aware of and can see, the sky sled can use its reaction to instead take that damage. 

-----

As an alternative to the existing Armor Class of the Sky Sled, one could instead replace the existing AC with a number based on the skill of its pilot. If this is the case, the AC of the sky sled should be calculated as such:

Armor Class = 10 + Pilot's Dexterity Modifier + Proficiency Bonus** + 1 (light armor plating bonus)

**the pilot only gains their Proficiency Bonus to the total, if they are skilled with the "Aerospace Vehicle" Tool proficiency.

Using this formula, a 1st-level pilot with a 14 Dexterity (providing them with a +2 modifier) who is proficient in aerospace vehicles, will provide the sky sled with a 15 Armor Class!

Meanwhile, a 20th-level pilot with similar abilities will provide the Sky Sled with a 19 Armor Class.

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes.

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...
