I was think of snipers and their uses in SR the other day ( I got bored :P ) and I had a really evil idea :evil:
If you just gave a combat mage a telescope, isn't that all he'd need to effectively "snipe" people from a long ways off? As long as the telescope doesn't digitally manipulate the image, i.e. it's just a normal telescope, I think it would work. Hell, get a mage with vision magnification and bypass the need for a telescope completely, or exend the range even further. Is this viable? If so, why isn't it seen more often? |
