It is not, the B2 from autocannon is still very prone to get you in sticky situations. BUT the -9 you can impose due to camo+cover+surprise shot on one action is ridiculously good. On any weapon. Its just that a autocannon mostly need to win only 1 ftf...
How does having BS21 interact with FAT2? Does a crit still trigger on a roll of a "1", even though it's pushed up to a roll of a "2"?
You mean the one that's been listed as Drize exclusive in the profiles PDF since release? Looks like they read their own rules at last!
Like the Deva AHD+Upgrade Lightning was added to NCA and is here to stay now? Or just that JSA is his native Sectorial and it just makes sense they should have any sort of Special Profile, which they had access to for the last year. Doesn't make sense to just remove it without a comment after that long.
I think so too, but Total immunity says that "owner doesn't suffer its effects You mean that symbiomate is immune to non-lethatl attacks and won't be removed from the table after getting attacked by flash pulse?
From Total Immunity: If affected by a weapon or Ammunition with the Non-Lethal Trait (see Infinity N3) that forces an ARM or BTS Roll, owners of Total Immunity won't suffer its effects, so they won't make the ARM or BTS Roll, nor any corresponding Guts Roll. From SymbioMate: The SymbioMate must be used when suffering a successful Attack—or being affected by any weapon or rule—that forces ARM or BTS Roll. My emphasis.
What a frikking mess. Also: So Shasvastii now have 12" Assault ?;P (yezz, that MO is just a bunch of cosplayers with their pathethic CC)
But you don't get Total Inmunity until you use the mate, so you still have to do a BTS roll, which triggers the obligatory symbiomate use. Nice writing.
Maybe it's just me but this doesn't seem like a clear answer, is the total immunity applied without the actually expenditure of the mate? Or is the mate removed to ignore stun/flash etc
You are forced to activate the mate, and then make no roll. So it's like the mate from before the nerf :p
The question is - does mate give you totall immunity passively or you have to ACTIVATE it to get the totall immunity (and therefore remove it after the order)?
Flash WILL have Non-Lethal, so you WILL NOT have to make an ARM/BTS roll, so you will NOT activate the Mate and it will NOT be removed. Capsed out the logic, not yelling :D
Reread symbiomates. You have total immunity as a skill until the mate goes away. A SymbioMate provides its user in the Active Symbiont Armor state an ARM and BTS value of 9—replacing the ARM and BTS values of the user’s Troop Profile—and it also provides the Total Immunity Special Skill
