-Now, a walking suit of armour is a sight to behold, though not unlike a shy knight. One feature I did cut was that the Mecha Succubus couldn't seduce creatures, which was a detriment. But YMMV across your GM.
+Now, a walking suit of armour is a sight to behold, though not unlike a shy knight. One feature I did cut was the Mecha Succubus's inability to seduce creatures, which was a detriment. But YMMV across your GM. You never know which lord or lady likes steel.
-A jousting knight, stuck, unable to breathe under a crushed armour, is a scenario for you to save the day. So is escaping cells and running a symphonic metal orchestra.

-I gave this class the nun theme through her starting items, trying to paint this class of robots in a juxtaposition of evil creatures trying their very best not to be evil, restraining their desires, whatnot. But it is also a good excuse to give them a lot of strange metal items. But this gave rise to a tangential theme behind her abilities: exorcist. Since poltergeist activities often accompany plates and teapots moving around, what’s to say pots and pans? In fact, this gives me an idea to tie this in with the other classes for this jam… A common theme of spiritual phenomena classes.
+While I did not specify their property as a robot: life energy, souls, divine healing, disease, poison, rust, or sleep are things to consider. To keep it simple, just treat it as normal unless your GM have other plans.

 I believe that classes are a presentation of an aesthetic. Its features, in effect, guide the controlling player down a particular playstyle (their niche). And gets to //feel// like that role by virtue of decision-making that considers their capabilities. If you are a succubus, then be a succubus. If you are a parody of a succubus, then be that parody. A class that is designed to be open to change and interpretation might lose its flavour. If you needed that new flavour? Don't fight the system, just make your own class. That is the beauty of an OSR hack—you shape the game you're playing in you shape.
+But goodness gracious, I am losing track of how this fits into anything for the jam. If only I could nail down a theme or topic... Mecha variants of classic monsters?
