I'm debating dropping gunslinger 3 for tactician 3 just so I have a more reliable reaction attack
>>98935687reaction attacks are kind of a shitshow with reloading so not always the best if you want an eventual 1 license level dip for something to do on your off turns, 1 level of lich gets you wandering nightmare which is neither an attack nor forces saves on your turn so it doesn't interfere with reloading
>>98935610is it a game for college commies or not?
>>98936867yes, now fuck off.
>>98936867It was definitely made by them, and a significant portion of their audience is: but you can give the commies an aneurysm by just playing how you want and ignoring their bullshit when you see it. It's remarkable how much they seethe about knowing you can just tell them to fuck off and have fun on your own. It genuinely makes them angry, it's wonderful.
>>98936867Yes but there’s enough good stuff in there to be a good game anyway.You can tell it is by the way the fluff handles revolutions. The revolution against SecComm, the Ungratefuls, and the Cornucopia revolution in the unpublished Aun Ascendancy guide are all depicted the same way: lots of bloodshed, yes, but once the fighting is done, instant utopia.No splinter groups or factional infighting, no massacres of counter-revolutionaries, no purge of moderates or priest massacres, no governmental failures or even really an difficulty at all in transitioning from revolutionary violence to idyllic governance.Can’t imagine why two socialists would want to portray revolutions as always uncomplicated and noble
what's the purpose of swallowtail? What does it do?
>>98937013Spotter and support. You hang back, lock on to everything, and are hopefully enough of a nuisance that enemies break positioning trying to find you because otherwise the fact you aren't physically bringing the muscle means the damage goes to the party members who are.

I also am not as dependant on repairs because im an everest and my GM lets me harvest from defeated mechs>The comp con is because there's an absolutely cracked piece of pilot gear the GM gave us access to that grants +1 Accuracy on everything. the only downside is it needs a pilot quick action to inject.
>>98936867Always one of these replies in the thread
>>98936867Yes, but just like modern D&D and Pathfinder, you can and SHOULD just ignore all the faggotry of the "default" setting and make your own homebrew setting. And just like D&D and Pathfinder, ignore the faggoty fanbase as much as possible. If someone is a diehard fan of Lancer, don't play Lancer with them, same way you don't play D&D with DnDrones. In either case it's a red flag that the person is gay and retarded.
I think Lancer is a great skirmish game, I'm just a bit burnt out by skirmish games
