That reminds me, I really do need to write up my idea for two-hex mechanical multi-spear-thrusting crossbow tracked automatons.

Main Batteries = 3-hex jabbing pike
Secondary Batteries = 2-hex jabbing spears
Missiles = 1-shot heavy crossbows

Hull armor blocks at least 4 hits.

Etc...

Da Vinci had some impressive ideas along those lines.

Does being pinned count as helpless for purposes of slaughtering?

If not, then how would you represent someone having their helm torn off to get at the juicy juicy meats inside? Say 3 or 4 goblins swarm a tank in HTH and pin them...then what? Their measly daggers can't hurt them, but they could if they could strip off the armor, jab it in weak points, etc.

Been reading a lot of Goblin Slayer and it has me thinking about that sort of thing.

Unarmed Combat III+ shield rush does 1 or 2 points of damage that ignores armor (whether or not Toughness protects looks to be up to the GM)

Poison ignores armor (once administered)

These spells ignore armor:
  • Shock Shield
  • Staff of Striking occult damage ignores armor
  • Staff to Snake for Staff of Striking and up
  • Death Spell

I was a thrown weapons Bola flinger against targets like the Tank.

but yeah, molotails were hell on slow moving heavily armored opponents too.

Lasso is a good control weapon against low DX targets. Lasso a foot and drag the tank around.

Combat nets can also have ropes attacked so the net thrower can retrieve his weapon after a failed throw.

Historically, the Stiletto was designed to deal with men in heavy armor. Long enough to reach lungs or heart under the arm or the brain under the helm.
