I give up!
I have no reliable internet. someone else take over this!

For one reason or another; you get big. Really big. It's kind of a problem actually.


Power Stat: Magnitude
As you grow more familiar with your abilities your titan form's size increases.

Resource Stat: Stamina. A Titan has a maximum stamina equal to double Magnitude+Con+Willpower. A Titan gains 1 stamina for each 30 minutes not engaged in strenuous activity (such as running, combat, or being in titan form), or every 10 minutes while doing nothing more strenuous than a casual stroll.

Titans in titan take a -3 penalty to wisdom, wisdom, charisma, and fellowship however.
I presume you meant Intelligence, rather than Wisdom twice?

Also, the resilience penalty is probably too great. Perhaps scale it down to just the -power stat to Gizzards when in Titan form, rather than having an extra -2 all the time everywhere? At least only have the -2 resilience while in Titan Form, or from Silver or something like that. You might want to change either the name of Titan Form or the Exaltation too, as it gets a bit confusing.

Fixed int. Toned down penalties to -2 cuz that was a touch too much i think.

I don't think -2 resilience is too bad in this case. Consider: if you get ganked while not in titan form, unless they instantly kill you, you nearly instantly turn into a titan, gaining power*2 temporary hitpoints to replace those you just lost. Also, by level 2 in titan form your resilience, even considering the -2 is still +1. also; by lvl 4 your resilience in yer gizzards is normal for your race. If more people think i need to tone that down i might, but i'm gonna leave it for now.

I can't think of anything else to call the exhalted. Avatar maybe? Same for the power stat.

....demiurge gaining access to titan abilities....

Working on assets now.

Posted 3 assets. I can't really think of any others at the moment. I'm want to do something with magic, but i'm not sure whether to make the asset allow them to use their con instead of the normal attribute for magic, or simply remove the mental and social attribute penalties.

For power stat, how about Magnitude? It means how large something is, and has bonus earthquake connotations.

Stubborn Consciousness doesn't need the debuff, and should be moved to Power Stat 2 or higher, since you can't use it until then (you can only spend a max of your Power Stat resources per round).

Bolt of big needs debuffing, to 2*Power Stat probably, or 5+Power Stat.
If temporary hit points can be healed, they're just extra hit points.
+Power to strength is too much. how about +1+Power/2 (rounded down)?
The last sentence can be shortened to "The transition to titan form envelops any equipment, rendering it useless, though spells work normally"

You definitely need to tone down the Resilience debuff. Applying it only in titan form is fine, though, you don't need to make it gizzards only or anything.

Rapid Regeneration essentially keeps you from using any resource points unless you don't get hit, which is unlikely given the whole "huge" thing.

Blast of Steam is too complicated. Pick one effect.

Massive Monstrosity should round up, otherwise some nerd rules lawyer is gonna say that you can't actually attack anyone while out of Titan mode. (note: the mode and the exaltation having the same name can be confusing)

Very Long Legs is...eh. I do like it in principle, but, well, this isn't principle. It could be replaced without any love lost. Maybe split Blast of Steam into 2 effects and put one of them here?

Colossal Titan is not good. You just buffed all the other abilities, and gave it an overpowered flame attack. Somehow lackluster and out of place at the same time.

Overall, it gives me the impression that you tried to adapt DtD to SnK instead of the other way around.

Love the feedback. Kinda ran out of steam half-way through this exhalation, so yay feedback.
YES! LOVE MAGNITUDE *find>replace*
I have no idea what SnK is ^_^. I feel like it would've helped me make this if I did.

Ow, didn't quite realise rapid regeneration did that. Altering it to just regeneration 1 every round for free.

I guess if i remove the resilience penalty i could debuff the size boost. I really liked how the numbers worked out this way though; i don't get why everyone feels -2 resilience is this bad, especially with the availability with things like sturdy, power armor, and that other bionic to offset it *shrug*.
Removed resilience penalty and made size boost 5+Magnitude

I felt the need to distinguish temporary hitpoints because if you take 4 damage while in titan form, then turn back into normal form, you have no damage. I dont think it tracks that way otherwise, please let me know if i'm mistaken.

1+1/2 to str works.

Thanks for that cleanup

See above

I dont feel blast of steam is that complicated, and it provides some much needed defense to what's an oddly squishy exhaltation. If you can think of another way of making the titan form a bit tankier without a TN bonus, let me know, but i'm gonna leave it til then.

I kinda like Very Long Legs, but I get your point of view. Honestly, i really can't think of anything really to do for the last two levels. Any ideas? (Considering making one of them a large jump in size, like shifting from 5+power to 3*power, or 10+power)

SNK=Shingeki No Kyojin=Attack on Titan, sorry. Basically everything I know about Attack on Titan I got secondhand from people who shorthanded it using "SNK" instead of "AOT"

Not Quite Flesh and Secretly a Pilot are redundant in the "track damage separately" departments.

Very Long Legs is complicated, how about you add your size to your speed and static bonus to physical rolls except dodge to show greater size and full familiarity with your body?

I have two rather minor suggestions:

Find a way to work "huge guts" into this and make an asset related to the Hulk. Please, feel free to ignore these but I need to put this out there.

Made long legs simply add size to speed and as a static bonus to all physical rolls (including dodge, your TN is -15, if you want to dodge, fine, the bonus won't help)

Also made collosal titan just make you fuckheug. Seems a little better.

I have almost no internet, so someone else should take this and make it better.
