User:Quincy/Armoured Combat Unit (ACU) (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Armoured Command Unit (ACU)[edit]
Command units are the pinnacle of warfare technology. All command units produce and store mass and energy, are amphibious, explode violently on death, are equipped with powerful weapons, short range omni sensors, and a full engineering suite.
There are two types of command units: Armored Command Units (ACUs) and Support Armored Command Units (sACUs). ACUs are usually the first and only unit to arrive at a battle site. All other units are constructed at the site. sACUs are very similar to ACUs; they are usually sturdier but less destructive. Command units are upgradeable, improving their offensive, defensive, intelligence, and construction capabilities.
How did they end up here?[edit]
Through an incident using the Quantum Gateway technology, they have been accidentally transported back in time. With no real way to communicate to their HQ, an ACU's main mission is to construct a new Quantum Gateway to (Hopefully) gate back to their own time.
Creating an Armoured Command Unit[edit]
- Quick Build
You can make an Armoured Command Unit quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the Soldier background. Third, choose a faction that benefits your Playstyle. If you are more of a tank that takes damage for your team, choose a UEF ACU, which can upgrade for personal shields and more hit points. If you are more of a spotter, alerting your teammates of incoming threats, choose an Aeon ACU, which can upgrade for a much farther sight range and small radar. If you are an all out Damage dealing badass, choose a Cybran ACU, which can upgrade for the Microwave laser that can deal significant damage. If you are more of a supporter who likes to help out your team, then choose a Seraphim ACU, which can upgrade for a restoration field that constantly restores hit points.
- IMPORTANT
UEF, Aeon, Cybran or Seraphim
You MUST pick from one of those four Factions at the start of the game. If you do not, the DM can class this as cheating.

Ability Score Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
[edit]
At 5th level, you can build Tech 1 Factories, which take 30 seconds to build. When you have the schematics, you can build Units to assist you in combat using the factories. However, at 5th level, you can only build Tech 1 Engineers in Factories. A Tech 1 Factory takes 12 seconds to build a Tech 1 Engineer. A Tech 1 Engineer can build any Tech 1 Structure. A Tech 1 Engineer can Assist a Unit or Structure, healing them and cutting the time needed to build a structure. A Structure being built has its construction time lessened by 5 seconds per assisting Engineer.
