@Blooper, since you still didn't mention a cooldown regarding blurring, i'll assume it's a once per battle ability. Which should be fine because 25 seconds is 4-5 turns in mid combat.

Yes, you can do the same. LeeRoy isn't currently online to judge it, but i can give you an impression of its viability.
If you post it quickly that is, cause i'm about to leave for the night.

Edit: Actually, LeeRoy is online, so i'll be gone now.

Only LeeRoy is qualified to accept CSs, but i can give some commentary.
First two questions:
- Can the blurring ability be used multiple times? If yes, what's the cooldown?
- You say it transforms him into a blur. Does that do anything or is it just a visual effect?

Also, an indication of his strength would be good, even if it isn't superhuman. We usually express lifting strength in how much he can lift above his head. For reference, in case you're not familiar, a well trained but unremarkable human can usually lift his own bodyweight. Professional weightlifters may lift over 600 lbs.

Once that's filled in, he seems fine. I'm not sure if he can be considered tier 3 without his staff, since the ability to deflect bullets implies INSANE reaction speeds that would make it nigh impossible for anyone to hit him with a melee attack. Then again, i'm not sure how much preparation time he'd need.

Edit: Actually, if by blocking bullets you mean that he anticipates where the bullet is gonna go and moves his staff into place to block it right before the gun is fired, that isn't quite as out there as i though. As opposed to seeing the gun get fired and then moving the staff to intercept the bullet. I assume you meant the former, in which case he's indeed a tier 3 without his staff. Even with his staff, he would seem underpowered for tier 4 actually, since he relies entirely on his speed which is still well below the tier 4 limit.

You're actually right, i keep forgetting that tier 0 is a thing, so i thought tier 2 was tier 1. So i spoke falsely.

That being said, i still think the Beta's are questionable. Guns are innately extremely powerful because bullets are so fast. The human factor is the only thing that keeps them balanced, but when used by robots with perfect auto aim, they are essentially 100% undodgeable by low and mid tier targets. Something to consider.
Edit: Although granted, they are supposed to work together against a tier 5 or 6, which might excuse it. LeeRoy will have to judge on this.

Also, you probably need a number on the heat generated by that axe.

Confused by the events going on before him, Gregor stood back with the fireball growing inside his jaws. Did the caveman just really collapse the cave? He might be more dangerous than he looks. But whatever, they could deal with him when and if he becomes a problem. After all, he had shown no hostility to anyone but the inanimate cave. For a moment, Gregor considered launching his fireball at the mysteriously reappeared Arthur. He knew little about Arthur, but Adrian had told him enough to know that he needed more firepower still. So he kept charging, in the hope that the dragon girl would cover them.

You should give an indication of how high up this ship of his is. If it flies at the height that airplanes usually do, which is roughly five to eight miles, and the gun being fired from it has the muzzle velocity of a powerful modern sniper rifle, you're looking at a delay of 7 to 12 seconds between firing the gun and the bullet reaching ground level. Which, obviously, would make it very hard to hit anything.

In fact, that number is when ignoring air friction. If we're gonna get technical, there's no way that gravity will accelerate a bullet beyond the muzzle velocity of a sniper rifle. The muzzle velocity of a powerful sniper rifle is mach 3, or 3400 feet per second, whereas the terminal velocity of a falling bullet is some 300 feet per second. An exceptionally aerodynamic bullet might go faster, but not to that extent.

Now, i don't mind using artistic license on gun physics, but you'll have to state it when you do, such as by saying "the bullet only has one second of travel time". Otherwise misunderstandings will happen. Alternatively, if you wanna stay scientifically accurate, you could say the bullet has a propulsion source, like a tiny rocket, to counteract friction. And of course lower the altitude of the ship. At 1 mile the travel time would be 1.5 seconds, provided your bullet moves at normal sniper rifle speed.

Edit: More importantly, none of those driods are what tier you say they are. With durability like steel, superhuman strength (for the first two) or speed (for the third), good combat skills and powerful technology, they should easily be tier 4.

A steampunk airship might well work. Ever heard of the game Guns of Icarus? Recreating that could be fun, but i think you'll need to fight an enemy of similar nature to make it fun. Not someone like Evvie who can just jump on the ship and attack the crew.

The problem with a helicopter or tank is, the three people would be confined inside this rather small vehicle, doing the one specific job they were assigned (one person flying, the other two firing). An airship gives more freedom.

If mechs are allowed, surely most other vehicles are too, including small space ships. Once you start incorporating large-scale weaponry like those on a space ship, you're gonna get to high tier really quickly though. It seems any vessel worthy of having three crew members will pass tier 7 quite easily if we don't hold back. That is, if we're going with a scifi setting, which i assume. So that might be a problem.

From a writing standpoint, i dunno. As stated today in the other thread, fights tend to get chaotic when more than four people are involved. Now imagine four people trying to work together ON THE SAME POST to defeat a fifth. Seems cumbersome, but it might work, maybe.

Though the flames couldn't harm him, Gregor jumped back in shock when they were blasted back at him, cutting off his fire breath attack. The reflected flames washed over him like a tide of water, melting the snow around his feet, but he was left unharmed. When the fire cleared and he gained sight of the cave again, the entrance was sealed and an angry caveman was hacking away at the opening. Unsure about who summoned the obstruction, Gregor hesitated for a moment.

He didn't dare approach, lest he be singled out against such a powerful opponent. Besides, he had no idea whose side the crazed caveman was on, if anyone's. So instead, he filled his jaws with fresh fire and held it there, forming it into a fireball. If the wall of spikes was Adrian's, it would give him time to charge a more powerful attack until Arthur emerged again. If it was somehow Arthur's, he could use the fireball to blow it up, or at least try. For now he just charged.
