Ariadna in N4

Yeah that's my take on it too, in a campaign maybe the difference between combat ineffective and dead matters, but for a one off that's not connected to the next game it will be of very little consequence, so the rules don't reflect the difference.

Edit from the dentist waiting room:

With the changes to crits, it's possible that both ARM and AP will be a bit more effective, so the Mormaers and APCCWs will sort themselves out.

The time skip is the main thing that could affect Ariadna, unless the characters are cubed up or there's some extra medical shenanigans applied then Voronin and Van Zant could go from 'seasoned veterans' to 'over the hill' if the timeline advances more than a few years...

Oh yeah if we can get the RM100(or a refined RM101...) to fill the TAG shaped gap,that would be great...

 

Indeed you did.

 

With the changes to Show of Force I feel like adding a TAG would just be box-checking at this point. We'd be lucky to get something Anaconda or Gecko grade which doesn't really seem like enough of an improvement over the Blackjack or Ratnik.

 

Really like the T2 Shotgun idea, that sounds awesome. What about dropping the dual-weapons on the second profile and giving all profiles Full Auto L1? That way we bring up the burst for the shotgun profile and the rockets up, while keeping the (what everyone seems to agree is better) in tact? Will boost the pistol too, but I think it might be a cool change.

 

I just want Minutemen to do something useful that I can't just have Marauders do, besides just sit in a Grunt link anyway. Also fix the Unknown Ranger.

 

I want a giant Russian mech, its effect in game is secondary and it's necessity is not a factor...

There's always a chance that TAGs will be beefier in N4 across the board, maybe that big black N in october on the timeline will be Remote Racing, or maybe it'll be Megalodron sized super heavies for everyone...

 

We already have a big Russian mech with a giant hammer!

 

Big, but not Giant...

 

That's so his hammer seems bigger!

Edit: That reminds me, I should find a giant sickle to replace the shotgun on my Ratnik.

 

With the time skip to N4, there's lots of development time for Ariadna. Come on CB, just do it already

 

Like Iron Gigant?

 

More like a Giant Miniature version of Cherno Alfa...

 

I am not big fan of its design. But something big, bulky and old looking will do.

 

I think a super REM would be more appropriate. Slow, treaded, high armor, with dual Autocannon.

 

So something like S6 MUL? Basically a tank.

 

Pretty much. Could have a rule like “tesium armor” where it’s ARM X but cannot be reduced by AP and has immunity EXP. Something like that.

 

that is basically called total immunity ;)

 

Or just set of specific immunities.
No need to nest more stuff :P

 

Sure.

 

The only way it would need to be nested is if it was some kind of ERA or ablative armour that only works once or twice, and you could represent that just by using Lotech and just not having the immunity on battle ravaged states...
