Default Re: Help me come up with Sufficiently Advanced Magitech

Organic looking tech works well for a non-modern feel.
Example: A gun made of a hard carapace, the back is bulging translucent, slightly glowing sack of something (the carapace doesn't cover it completely), it fires globs of acid which explode upon whatever they hit, or upon the goon pressing a detonator.

Mechanically this is just a gun that fires explosive rounds, has a middling range, doing burning or corrosive damage as you feel like it. The baddies will always fire their first volley at the PC's directly and then switch to proximity attacks. Which has the benefit of being able to get through the the missile shield, while keeping it useful. (If the PC's don't use missile shield ever start raining those acid balls from orbit.)

Tron-esque tech would work well too, just add some runes. Easy flight, deadly blades, a few explosives and a spray of doom shoots to encourage missile shield, (and slice through barriers.)

Flying steampunk battleships, are both magical and have technology. You can use spaceships seven to design them, although they need either melee attacks or explosive shots to be a threat. (Or they can act as troop carriers.)

Oh also essential materials everywhere.
