Player's Options: Vordani Battletech

Player's Options: Vordani Battletech


The Vordani reject magic, so they have mastered machinery instead. Their answer to spellcasters, monsters, and rival clans is Battletech: brutal exosuits and weapon systems powered by kinetic energy and engineered for war. These devices appear throughout the campaign and can be operated, repaired, or mastered by characters who train in their use. Below is a full overview of all known Battletech gear found in the land of Vordan:

Battleframes are light, mobile exoskeletons worn over armor, built for frontline berserkers. They allow their wearers to wield oversized weapons with speed and stability:

  • Sawblade Arm – Spinning forearm disc that deals heavy slashing damage and tears deeper on crits.
  • Pulverizer Hammer – Piston-driven hammer delivering concussive blows, knocking enemies prone.
  • Lance Driver – Reinforced charging spike that deals extra damage after moving.
  • Spear Launcher – Short-range bolt launcher built into the frame.
  • Flayer Blades – Spinning shoulder blades that lash all nearby enemies.
  • Razor Ring Shield – A shield with a spinning blade that retaliates when foes miss.

Warhusks are heavy, nonmagical exoskeletal vehicles. They enhance Strength, boost AC, and turn their pilots into a walking siege engine. Warhusks impose penalties to Dexterity and movement, but massively enhance raw power and durability. A warhusk can carry three modular weapon systems from these options:

  • Sawblade Arm – High-damage rotating disc for brutal melee attacks.
  • Pulverizer Hammer – Piston hammer that knocks targets prone.
  • Lance Driver – Armor-piercing strike with bonus charge damage.
  • Flame Belcher – Shoulder-mounted flamethrower (20-ft cone).
  • Spear Launcher – Heavy bolt launcher dealing serious piercing damage.
  • Flayer Blades – Spiked chains that shred nearby creatures.
  • Saw Shield – Reactive spinning shield that damages attackers.

Vordani ammunition and specialty bolts are used with crossbows or mounted ballistae.

  • Chain Bolt – Fires a trailing chain to pull targets or anchor shots.
  • Shrapnel Bolt – Explodes into shards on impact.
  • Ignition Bolt – Ignites targets and flammable terrain.
  • Shredder Bolt – A spinning, embedded disc that continues shredding on the next turn.

Vordani bombs are thrown mechanical grenades engineered for battlefield control. Some of the more unique ones are:

  • Ooze Bomb – Acid burst that slows enemies and creates difficult terrain.
  • Mold Bomb – Necrotic spore cloud that poisons and blinds.
  • Rust Bomb – Corrosive dust that weakens nonmagical metal weapons and armor.

Secrets of Vordan: Dungeons of Vordan


Your journey spans some of the strangest, deadliest, and most atmospheric dungeons in Vordan and beyond. Each location offers a distinct tone, threat, and visual identity, ranging from mechanical war-engines to sites of Farrealm nightmares.

  • The Star-folded Sanctum – An alien, tilting, impossible structure of warped angles and Farrealm geometry; mad iron giant priests argue, feud, and spiral into unhinged antics.

  • The Farrealm – An expanse of aberrant matter; a fully mapped planar dungeon where physics dissolves and reality breaks into living insanity.

  • Shandar’s Interdimensional Prison – A ruined fort where scrav vampire spawns—vulture-like humanoids twisted by undeath—and their ancient scrav vampire master lair.

  • The Dreadscorcher – King Doomhammer’s colossal war-machine, where iron corridors hide roaring engines, siege furnaces, and battlefield artillery.

  • The Volcryn Mines – A perilous, high-speed cart chase through Doomhammer’s volatile mining tunnels.

  • Mountain Monastery – The Pure’s austere sanctuary of discipline, silence, and ritual rejection of magic under which an ancient dungeon dedicated to Competence awaits.

  • The Titanfall Cairns – A colossal resting ground of ancient giants, haunted by a giant ghost and the fallen iron giant who carried an ancient steel tablet here to die.

  • The First Colossus – Master Arlen’s titanic construct guarded by his construct creations, such as the relentless dynadog sentinels.

  • Windrip City – A vertical city of platforms, chains, moving heights, and shifting hazards.

  • White Mammoth Ruins – A frost-blasted fort where the those who dream become prey.

  • The Ettin Warrens – A chaotic dual-minded lair of brute strength, savagery, and crude traps.

  • Orewyrm Lair – A blazing volcanic cavern with four separate entrances, flowing lava channels, and a central basalt island surrounded by molten fire.

  • Cannibal Troll Caves – A grotesque settlement ruled by the Starved Apostate; bone totems, shredded huts, and ravenous worship.

  • The Womb of the One – A hidden structure beneath a quiet village, pulsing with fleshy, organic architecture.
