It was sorta rhetoric. The only person whose opinion really matters on this is the "big villain" in our game, and she's firmly in the "Yes" camp. :dead:

Here's a way to screw a gunbunny: the SOTA! :D Rapid advancements in armour and ballistics would make a gunbunny quite freaked out at the cost!

Yeah, a Thompson SMG made for WW2 is in no way could still be effective today. [/sarcasm] -Siege |

Yeah, but a suit of plate mail is as useful as cheese against said SMG. Now that's SOTA for you!

True, but it would still do wonders against a baseball bat. -Siege |

Dikoted Mono-Laser Bat! Let's throw in some slivers and ally spirits for good measure.
And don't go bashing plate mail, it's still more effective than full kevlar suits for stopping bullets with in d20 Modern. Which, like, totally makes sense. |

Nothin' wrong with bashing plate mail. It absorbs bashing quite nicely.

I'm going to use Blitzkreig as my main character with regards to this one, because he's definitly one of my most pure combat characters. His weapons of choice, a length of chain wrapped around his fist and the door to a Lone Star cruiser. Nothing says big scary motherfucker like a near nine foot troll wading into combat and making fine past of people, which shrugging off most gunfire coming his way. And consider that he's even more effective now that he's carrying around his own cover.

Nah, it's more of a bang or a thump. Plate seldom resonates cleanly enough to bell. |

AV suppressive fire with double-Victory ACs! Mmmm... Starting to get a tad expensive, though.

Heh. To be honest, I wouldn't use grenades nearly as much if the GM had played the opposition as slightly more intelligent the last couple times I've been in combat as this guy. I can just see their conversation: BOOM! "Sir, someone just threw a grenade at us! The phosphorus, it burns!" "Stay grouped closely together and don't leave the area." "But sir, the phosphorus is still burning around us! It hurts!" "Don't move! If we spread out, he won't be able to get all of us at once with his next grenade like he did with the first one!" "But sir -" BOOM! :dead: :dead: :dead: |

Unless your helmet gets hit. Then it really is like your head is inside a bell. Don't believe me? Find your local SCA chapter, go to a heavy fighter practice, and ask for a demonstration. :-) (But yes, the rest of the plate ... not a bell-effect.) |

I'm pretty sure John Campbell is a SCAdian and has been inside plate mails pretty often.

I know Siege has the [sarcasm /] tag, but wow. Personally, I think that a Thompson SMG (or modern replica), with a drum feed, smartlink, and some hefty recoil compensation could make for a pretty dang nice (and stylin'! yay!) SMG. :-) Now I gotta go look for it on Raygun's site, or crackopen the FCG. :D [edit]And Austere -- could be. =) But I wanted to clarify the bell-around-your-head effect for any that might be reading. =) [/edit] This post has been edited by gknoy: Mar 5 2004, 05:34 AM |

I've been a heavy fighter for the last decade. My helm doesn't bell. Getting hit in the head is a lot louder than getting hit in the body, but it's just a crack without ongoing ringing. I've run into a few helms that did ring, mostly the cheap spun-domes that newbies tend to pick up, but it typically gets treated as a flaw and fixed... there are various ways to damp the vibrations to stop it. Usually the padding is sufficient to accomplish it, but not always.
Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore... |

Gotta love the Matrixing, though. Nothing like taking a building away from the rigger controlling it.

i've been tempted to build an intrusion rigger, but the concept is way too specialized to see much use.
