Solaris VII: more discussion, and more banter

The clans killed mah brothah

So, to recap...

In terms of Mech Combat, Clanners are generally:

Gunnery: 4
Piloting: 3

So...I can therefore say Raviel is about as good as an average clanner.

Anyway, I need to look through my books, but wasn't there a Freebirth somewhere somewhen that became a clan leader (He renounced his former life as part of the Draconis Combine, and had to prove himself against a bunch of opponents. Can't remember which clan though.)

EDIT: Meh. I'm talking about in Mech Piloting/Gunnery. Obviously, Raviel is outclassed enough in other areas by IS pilots already, let alone a Clan Mechwarrior.

Dante · 08-16-2005, 02:23 AM

Well, considering Raviel has no skills BUT shooting and gunnery...

Makes me wish I had twinked like I usually did.

Truce · 08-16-2005, 02:32 AM

I'm still kinda curious what Race does, by the way (like, what are the 3-5 races?). If it's nothing at all, I'm fine with that. If it, say, turns me into a Super Saiyan, I'm fine with that too.

By the way Dante, an Atlas with 3 gunnery is good enough to blow away just about everyone else here alone, if you get in range. That'd be twink enough for me. Trade you mechs?

No, he isn't. Because clanners with +int/ref, assuming INT/REF 7, have physical 4.

Clanner
4-4 (Gunnery) = TN 0
4-3 (Piloting) = TN 1

Raviel's
6-6 (Gunnery) = TN 0
6-2 (Piloting) = TN 4

Raviel's just as good of a gunner as your average clansman, but he's lacking in the piloting area.

Squishy Cheeks · 08-16-2005, 06:51 AM

the other races are

Clan mechwarrior
Clan pilot
Clan Elemental

Dante · 08-16-2005, 08:08 AM

What is Clan Elemental good for, besides crushing people ruthlessly?

PhoenixFlame · 08-16-2005, 08:13 AM

They're the best battle armor pilots in existance. Pretty much.

BA warriors generally don't have good lifespans, so there aren't many heros in the infantry.

Squishy Cheeks · 08-16-2005, 08:18 AM

unless you somehow become a khan. Then you're never have to get into battle again unless you want to.

PhoenixFlame · 08-16-2005, 08:32 AM

Even as a Khan, it's best to keep your fighting skills in shape. You never know when someone might get the nerve to challenge you to a Trial of somethingorother and you have to back down. Talk about dishonor on a legendary scale. Of course, being a political mastermind, you've probably got 20+ bloodnamed warriors ready to accept any challenge issued to you on your behalf.

The higher you get in clan society, the more is expected of you.
