So, Squat Prospectors ‘Stoneburner’ has the POWERPACK and SIDEARM traits. Rules for these as below “POWERPACK …If the weapon also has the Melee trait it can be used in addition to any other weapon carried by the fight granting an additional close combat attack.” “SIDEARM … Weapons with this...

For a full view of changes that I'll be trying to introduce, view this thread. TLDR: getting into melee is going to be noticeably easier, due to movement for charging ranges and various nerfs to shooting, but what about melee itself? I'm a firm believer that current melee system is not fun, nor...

So, looking at including Phyrr and Phelynx cats in an Escher gang. Am I understanding rules for exotic pets correctly: RAW, when activating with owner, usually the owner would have to activate first, as if the pet activates first it cant move to be out of 3”/9” distance without risking a nerve...

Personally I don't find the current melee system fun. It is pretty much decided by whoever charges or fights first.

I want to check in and see how other groups are dealing with long-ranged weapons like long rifles, heavy bolters/stubbers, and (in particular) the combination of these with the Overwatch skill. The situation I've been in is this: I set up a short intro campaign to try and interest folks in...

What weapons do you use the little bone knives on the cawdor sprue to represent? I am using them as skinblades atm because fighting knives are so damn expensive. I wish there was a 5 cred crappy stat line bone knife entry.

A question about falling from ledges while in hand-to-hand combat. The current rules are thus and open to interpretation: If a fighter is engaged in hand-to-hand fighting within 1" of an edge then he may fall off if he loses the combat. The fighter must take an Initiative test. If the test is...
