Dreamscarred Press Announces - Steelforge Playtest

[unseenmage]

I'm playing a Promethean Alchemist from the Occult books right now and found myself really wanting the 3.x Artificer's ability to eat Constructs for their crafting juice.
Any chance we could get an ability like that for Construct Rider and/or Promethean Alchemists?



Additionally, the City in a Bottle has been deemed too cheesey for our real life game because of how cheap it is to buy/craft a Bag of Holding at later levels. And we are using Leadership. Leadership-in-a-Bottle might be okay. A Settlement-in-a-Bottle might be okay. The two together is just too much oomph at once for so low a cost.
To be clear, we love the City in a Bottle thematically, we just can't bring ourselves to okay it because of how strong it is to always have a settlement right there in your hand. Trade, shelter, a place to craft really big objects (colossal animated object bodies of golem bodies for example).

One of our players asked if a vampire could just live off the people within. Could said vampire just keep their coffin in there? Are they (the people within) immune to plague? What happens to dominated creatures taken inside who go rogue and tear up the place when the dominate wears off? Does the city have a graveyard; if so can the necromancer get corpses there? What of slain villagers and their corpses? As living creatures they can't be removed but can their corpses?

There's just a whole lot of cans of worms that don't seem to be covered just yet. All of which are trumped by simply a) getting Leadership cheaply at higher levels and b) always having a place to sell loot and buy gear.

Spoiler: some silliness

Additionally, we had a neat idea. Undead or Construct minion commanding Mogaru (the two tailed PF Godzilla) via song could potentially use the Downtime rules to have Mogaru gain class levels. Would take an obscene amount of time but it is a neat idea.
Thing is, after the City in a Bottle is planted by leveled up Mogaru the resulting city is populated by people of Mogaru's race.

We intend to play past the Iron Gods AP and adventure in space. We very strongly considered taking Mogaru with us, finding him a remote planet, setting him and a team of Constructs/Undead who can command him via song down, and setting the scene for a far flung future planet of the PF Godzilla people.

Edit: Maybe have the contents of the bottle be explicitly illusory in nature. Only when gp is exchanged for goods or services do things become real and only once they are taken from the bottle?
