Trashtalk on Lancer: Saladin

STAY SAFE, BIG SAL

Stay Safe, Big Sal

stay safe, big sal

Imagine slapping Paracausal on Barbarossa's other *big gun*

Paracausal Tachyon Lance, to make even the Genghis fear fire

... paracausal cyclone pulse rifle.

Whoopsie.

“DoJ-HR/HA joint operation” You really had to bring out the impossible to make that joke, huh?

"WE HOLD!" "ENEMY FORCES APPROACH OUR POSITION! MULTIPLE TARGETS, RIGHT QUADRANT! THEY OUTNUMBER US FIVE TO ONE!" "WE HOOOOOOOOLD!"

Paracausal Rounds are so amazingly good if your GM ever uses brace that I'd honestly consider taking three levels in Sal just for this power on anything throwing a superheavy around. You can be sure that when you are dumping a superheavy weapon, the enemy is going to brace. Armour? Fuck you. Half damage from type? Fuck you. Brace? Again, fuck you. It's amazing.

There's a lore snippet that Saladin pilots tend to get their bar tabs covered by other Lancers as thanks for their protective chadliness.

yes

Yes, but I'm gonna wait until the revised final version is up so I could make the update video ONCE instead of twice.

I sank three levels for paracausal. Then I made a saladin.

Anyone who wants to be the group tank. Kinda neat that the designers gave it some conistent attack options though.

Thought you were referring to Rick astley there

I will try... First, it is an Arcing weapon. As such it doesn't require Line of Sight (LoS) to attack a target, just that you need to be able to trace a path to the target. This negates being Blinded or any other way of minimizing LoS (normally you need LoS to make directed attacks against targets). Cover is still calculated against the attack, but unless the target is fully encased from all sides in Cover, they can be targeted. Second, and most importantly, its description: "The final attack roll for this weapon can never be affected by [Difficulty]." What this means is that no matter what, the attack roll will be either a straight roll, or one with Advantage. It will never roll with Difficulty. Things like Cover, Engagement, Impaired, and various talents/systems/traits/etc., no matter how many are stacked upon you, can never cause you to finally roll with any Difficulty (after cancelling out any Advantages and ending up with any Difficulty dice. You just ignore any Difficulty dice left over and roll normally as if you don't have them). Attach it to an UNCLE for that -2 Difficulty. Be in Engagement for that -1 Difficulty. Be Impaired for that -1 Difficulty. Attack that enemy in Hard Cover for that -2 Difficulty. Use that Lock On that you have on the enemy for +1 Advantage. And end with an attack roll that is normally -5 Difficulty (-2 + -1 + -1 + -2 +1 = -5). And then throw all those 5 Difficulty dice into the nearby trash, because the end result is NO DIFFICULTY on the final roll. It will just be a 1d20+bonuses (usually just GRIT, unless you have some static bonuses like Death's Head Perfected Targeting).

@@AzureIV Oooh, that first one is really interesting as an idea. Raleigh 3/Saladin 1 and you just have UNCLE firing free missiles every turn.

@@InchonDM It is one of the few weapons that has no downside for using UNCLE.

And a Blackbeard has Sekhmet NHP while a Tokugawa has a Lucifer NHP, what are you trying to say here?

@@11dragonkid11 that Saladin is an odd pairing with Hindu mythology. Those other examples are odd too.

@@charnalking Is that, is that seriously the best answer you can come up with after a month? Being odd means bloody nothing, if anything that's one of the best features of Lancer, it's odd in all the good ways!

@@11dragonkid11 sorry for the tardy reply, I don't have push notifications so only just saw your message. I hope you can forgive me.
