If you’re here, it’s because you love big stompy robots. They come in many different flavors, from walking tanks, to nimble fighters, to giant robots made up of smaller robots. Each PC in CAMELOT Trigger is a knight who fights battles from inside a massive robot called armour. You can use these rules to build custom armour for your character, or as the basis for taking your favorite mecha setting and using Fate Core to adventure inside and outside the mecha – simply replace the word “armour” with mecha, and you’re set!

The Steps of Building Your Armour

Connect Your Pilot to The Armour

Step One: Assemble Your Armour Frame
A suit of armour has five equipment slots, corresponding to a specific body part. If you are using these rules for a setting other than CAMELOT Trigger, feel free to combine different slots for different shapes. These slots are mostly cosmetic, but visualizing your armour is the first step to walking around in it.

What are the five things you want your armour to do? You can decide on your own, or choose cool things from other mecha media. If your gaming space has access to media, have some inspirational clips play in the background. Take a moment or two to think about how the equipment works, like perhaps the gun on your back slot might be mounted on the armour’s shoulder.

CAMELOT Trigger features the basic design of “head, front torso, back torso, arms and legs.” A non-human design, like a snake, might be “head, front body, mid body, end body, tail.” The Emergent often use non-human designs to throw off knights trained to fight human armour. In your game, you may allow non-human designs or change the human armour configuration to something like “head, torso, left arm, right arm, legs.” The slots are there to help visualize the armour.

Example: Aaron wants to build armour for his Zodiac Templar. Since he’s taken CANCER as his call sign, he wants his armour to look like a big, upright crab. He selects a head, front torso, back torso, arms, and legs as his armour frame. If he wanted a frame that looked like a giant crab, he could have chosen top torso, bottom torso, pincers, legs and legs.

Step Two: Choose Systems
You may choose either an internal or external system for the slot. Each slot gets one major piece of equipment. Your armour has lots of cool gadgets, but the equipment highlighted in the slot is the best feature. Internal systems are things built directly into the armour. External systems are items the armour holds, rides, or wears: a gun on the arm as an external system means the armour holds it, whereas an interior version might be directly built into the arm.

Internal systems give your character a higher skill level while in your armour, replacing the skill, although you may use the character’s skill if it is higher. These skills also affect available consequences while in the armour. Each slot offers a spread of skills ranging from getting one skill at Great (+4) to four skills at Average (+1). For example, if you have Fair (+2) Shooting and the internal system has Average (+1) Shooting, you are better off with your natural skill.

Internal systems substitute skills to simulate two things. The first is a collection of smaller equipment that adds up to a bigger punch. Rather than working out the specifics of fire-linking weapons or protection tonnage, internal systems combine those smaller pieces into a single bonus, allowing the knight to focus on skills outside the armour. A game where everyone has a vehicle often features several characters who take that vehicle skill as their main focus. You can be a Great armour pilot by simply devoting a slot to a system that gives you that bonus – it doesn’t apply outside the armour, nor if the system is shut down.

External systems work like many stunts, such as giving you a +2 for a skill in a narrow circumstance, the ability to swap out one skill for another, or the power to otherwise break the rules for the cost of a fate point. These do stack with internal systems, so if you have armour with a Great (+4) Shooting and give it a weapon that adds +2 to Shooting to targets two zones away, that’s a Fantastic (+6) when shooting at long range.

External systems add bonuses to the pilot’s existing skill. If the skill is provided by an internal system, it adds to the internal system’s skill. External systems enable the armour to specialize in a battlefield role. These systems can be used multiple times on the same skill, so long as the specific situation for each system is different, or substitute one skill for another in a very specific circumstance.

Example: Aaron wants his CANCER armour to absorb a lot of hits. For his head slot, he takes an external system to reduce the severity of a consequence once per battle by spending a fate point. The Templars are known for their great skill at armour, so he chooses an internal system to give his knight Great armour skill. His back slot is filled by an external stunt that allows him to repair a system mid-battle. His arms slot is taken up by an internal weapons system that gives him Melee and Daunt at Fair. Finally, his legs system allow him to place a scene aspect on a successful armour defense with style with a free invocation.

So far, his armour looks like this:

CANCER Armour:

Head: (Once per conflict, spend a fate point to reduce severity of a physical consequence by one step)
Front: (Great Armour)
Back: (Once per scene, spend a fate point to bring a system back online)
Arms: (Fair Melee/Fair Daunt)
Legs: (Gain a boost with two free invocations when you defend with Armour and succeed with style)

Each mech has five equipment slots. They correspond to a body part on the mech. For most knights, since the mechs are controlled by a neuralhelm, these parts correspond to the human body - head, front torso, back torso, arms and legs. For the designs of the Emergent, the evil robot barbarians threatening Arthur's realm, these designs allow for non-human shapes. For example, the MerGN-B "Boar" armor is head, torso, torso, leg, leg.

You can choose either an internal system or external system for the slot. Sure, your armor has lots of cool gadgets, but the equipment highlighted in the slot is the best feature. It's like buying a car. A buyer cares more about the horsepower or the soundsytem rather than power doorlocks or the adjustable seats.

Internal systems give you a higher Skill level while in your mech. This replaces your characters Skill, so if you have a Fair Shooting and the internal system is an Average Shooting, you are better off with your natural skill. Each slot offers a spread of skills ranging from getting one skill at Great to four skills at Average.

External systems work like stunts. They give you a +2 for a skill in a narrow circumstance, let you swap out one skill for another, or otherwise break the rules. These do stack with internal systems, so if you pick up a mech with a Good Shooting and give it a weapon that adds +2 at long range, that's a Legendary +6 when that mech shoots at you at long range.

To counter those big numbers, the mecha can absorb stress like consequences. Shutting down a system absorbs 2 stress. Shutting down either all internal or all external systems absorbs 4 stress. Shutting down all systems absorbs 6 stress. Bringing these systems back online requires a Smithy roll, with the difficulty set as the number of systems shut down.

We'll see how well these rules handle contact with the players. If you have any thoughts, please leave a comment below or tweet @robowieland. And one final tease: one of the test mechs I built. I give you: The Broadsword!

Arms: Energy Gunblade (Use Fighting for Shooting attacks)

Применение фугасных снарядов целесообразно лишь в орудиях калибра от 120 миллиметров и выше, так как количество взрывчатого вещества в снарядах меньших калибров недостаточно для разрушения самых легких полевых укреплений. Для снаряжения фугасных снарядов применяется в основном тротил или суррогатные взрывчатые вещества.Для обеспечения большего фугасного действия необходимо, чтобы снаряд углубился в преграду до момента его взрыва, поэтому для фугасных снарядов широко применяются головные и донные взрыватели инерционного и замедленного действия. Остановимся подробнее на фугасном действии снаряда.

Сущность фугасного действия снаряда заключается в том, что разрушение производится газами, образующимися при взрыве разрывного заряда снаряда. Для простоты рассуждений будем рассматривать действие взрыва в грунте, а не в сооружениях различной прочности.
Снаряд, проникнув на некоторую глубину в грунт, разрывается. Газы разрывного заряда, занимая первоначально малый объем, давят на окружающую среду с большой силой, раздробляют частицы, непосредственно прилегающие к разрывному заряду, и, прижимая их к соседним слоям, образуют в месте разрыва снаряда пустоту, называемую сферой сжатия. Затем давление газов, распространяясь далее, передается последовательно прилегающим слоям грунта, стараясь нарушить связь между частицами и выбросить их. Это пространство называется сферой разрушения. Далее давление газов постепенно ослабевает.

Сила давления газов уже недостаточна для разрушения связей между частицами грунта, вследствие чего эти частицы получают лишь колебательное движение. Это пространство носит название сферы сотрясения. Земля выбрасывается и на месте разрыва образуется яма, называемая воронкой. После взрыва часть выброшенной земли попадает обратно в воронку, а часть ложится около нее, образуя вал, называемый гребнем. Но фугасное действие не ограничивается образованием воронки. Сотрясение, вызываемое взрывом снаряда, производит обвалы и разрушения в ходах сообщения, убежищах и т. п., находящихся в непосредственной близости от места взрыва.

О силе фугасного действия снаряда обычно судят по объему образующейся воронки, Само собой разумеется, что чем больше разрывной заряд, тем больше результат его действия. Следовательно, наибольшей разрушительной силой обладают снаряды крупных калибров. Немалое значение при определении силы фугасного действия снаряда имеет и его углубление в грунт до взрыва. Опытами установлено, что при наивыгоднейшем углублении одного килограмма взрывчатого вещества (тротила) образуется воронка, объем которой равен 2,2 – 2,5 кубических метра. На практике получается, что 1 килограмм взрывчатого вещества выбрасывает 1,2 – 1,5 кубического метра грунта. Но при слишком большом углублении снаряда газы разрывного заряда иногда не в силах выбросить землю и образовать воронку. Такое явление артиллеристы называют камуфлетом, или подземным взрывом снаряда.Для орудий среднего калибра более выгодно применять осколочно-фугасные снаряды. Эти снаряды, кроме фугасного действия, обладают довольно сильным осколочным действием и выгодны с точки зрения производства и боевого питания артиллерии.
