5th Class Idea: Servitude Imperpituis

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

Basically: A criminal handed over to the Tech Priests and enhanced.

He has access to a Mechandrite Arm:
Mechandrite Arms have their own equipment.

When equipped with a MA Shield:
The MA has a 15% chance to block an attack in the 180 degree cone behind it.
If it blocks the shots from a Scab Gunner, seeing as they vomit out about 50 bullets, it will block 50% of the bullets from that one gunner.

If equipped with a MA Melee Weapon:
It will attack one target at random in melee range every 5 seconds.
If Bladed: It will Cleave
If Blunt: It will stagger the 2 enemies closest to the hit target.

If equipped with a MA Ranged Weapon:
It will shoot at a target at random.
If the player is using ADS (Aim Down Sights): It will shoot the target closest to the reticle.

Class Blitzes:

  • A deployable turret that fires bullets at the closest enemy for 10 seconds. Can be altered to fire as a shotgun.
  • A deployable turret that fires a stream of fire at the closest enemy for 12 seconds.
  • A Shock Grenade that electrifies enemies in the blast radius.

Abilities:
Machine Assisted Aiming:
For the duration, any shots by the Servitude Imperpituis or his allies count as hitting weak points. The shots must hit an enemy benefit from this effect.

Powered Arms:
For the duration, any melee hits by the Servitude Imperpituis or his allies have 50% more cleave. Blocking has a 25% reduction in Stamina damage.

Serve The Omnissiah!:
For the duration, the Servitude Imperpituis’ Mechandrite Arm will attack whatever gets hit by the Servitude Imperpituis or his allies, if in range.
(IE: If the Servitude Imperpituis has a MA Gun; Then that gun will shoot the same targets as the players. If he has a MA Melee Weapon, it will strike the same targets as the Servitude Imperpituis or his allies, if it can reach. This attack can only trigger every 1 seconds.)

This was as far as I got with the idea.
I admit; I want a Tech Priest class, but Tech Priests CAN’T be criminals like the Rejects. So a criminal given to them and ‘enhanced’, then put into Tertium for testing, would work.

Well yes, a Tech Priest or a Skitarii wouldn’t be let go by the Admech, they would be kept in their own Penal system (or directly servitorised).

But Servitors don’t really bring much to the table:

  • Very few unique weapons (Usually just having attached melee weapons or normal Imperial Guard weapons)
  • Very few cosmetics
  • Lorewise, subdued personality (unless they do like the Medicae)

Where instead there are Civilians that are under the tutelage of the Admech, but aren’t cared for by them:

  • Tech Serf or Menials: Usually part of the Forgeworld’s population
  • Technica Guilds: Usually set on non-Forge World, where they’re overseen by Tech Priests from a Forgeworld. (Lore is not fully set on those, so leaving quite leeway for GW/FS to spin it as they need to

I think having some Technica Guilders, to be able to have them originated from the various worlds of the Moebian Domain, and having the various personalities be set around the different overseeing Forgeworld (Mars: Religious; Metalica: Pragmatic/Cold) that are already known to have influence nearby (as seen in Metalfab).

This would give you Reject grade peoples, who are willingly linked to the Admech, who know how to follow Admech provedures and could as they’re gaining the trust of the Inquisition and Hadron be issued Admech weaponry (which might have been the plan, as the Vox intercept with ‘Admech toys’, though on Veteran), and would be willing to be augmented (For mechadendrite weapons and cosmetics).

As well as give ways to have them have cosmetics that are based on the Admech
