Necromunda Gameplay Discussion

Sounds like an elegant fix to me, assuming it’s any part of the template and not just the hole (?).

While we are talking grenade launchers it’s worth noting they will (according to internet wisdom) more than likely be re costed due to their incredible efficiency, the most probable fix being the price is increased to the cost shown in the underhive book. So don’t go making 5 dudes with grenade launchers just yet!

I might have to disagree on this. If I had a GL or flamer and saw three guys close together I'd probably turn it on them rather than a lone guy a bit closer in...

[Tom]

Sure, if you were cool headed enough! Hence the check.

[Tom]

Realised that the bonus rep for lower rated gangs does actually help them catch up in gang rating, but it's a slightly long winded process.

More rep = more champions = more work the turf actions!

Maybe it will all work out in the end. Eventually.

[Dave]

That makes some sense! It might take a while though as I'm still only Rep 4!


EDIT: but don't you still have to abide by the 50% gangers rule?

[Tom]

I was more thinking about the wild differences that might come in at the start of a second gang war with some fresh gangs and some carried over gangs rather than small differences coming out now.

You would indeed still have to abide by 50% Gangers.

[Dave]

I see.

Well I'm sure it will work out in the end, the best way to earn rep does seem to be to play as the underdog.

[Tom]

Just noticed that the starting skill Leaders and Champs have counts as an advancement that increases the cost of subsequent level ups! Pg 14 in Gang War.

I guess my leader needs to defer that skill up then.

[Tom]

Which is then contradicted by the example on pg 16 where a Champion has received two stat up advancements and only pays a single level of tax. I'm thinking we should just ignore the bit on pg 14?

[Dave]

Judging by the amount of exp being earnt I agree that we should probably ignore the +2xp for the first level up (I’m even thinking maybe ignore it all together... however once the rules are expanded and Int and Wil become worthwhile stats then maybe not).

I’m easy though, having a blast with it so far!
