I can hear the screams of outrage already - how I've "sold out" and turned the main character into Megaman, or worse, a Bob and George rip-off.

Honestly, when I gave Svenyip the Rock Buster all I was thinking of was ways to expand combat possibilities. To that end, it's a versatile little device. A gun only shoots bullets, but it could hypothetically fire anything.

And who says I have to get powers by fighting Robot Masters? I could just as easily go off and fight the Lord of All Bovines and Get Equipped With Cow Pattie.

… not sure why I'd WANT to, but the option is there.


It's not quite clear to the reader what Xot's gift does yet, but we've already got a Melee and a Ranged attacker now, and we'll encounter a Magical one later. Skeets, when he fights, will typically be Ranged/Tech. Xot will fall under "Melee/Other" to balance it all out.

You've got to have a balanced party for an RPG, after all. :)
