Thread: PETITION : Remove the 2.5x melee damage penalty for rifleman
Among our Advantages is the Java Ion Rifle. Of course, you can layer an armor against Stun. How many people know they need Stun-Protection?
Anyway, we are still a bit unequal. Who cares. It is more fun the harder it is.
It is way past time for this to go. I can't count the number of times I've been one-shot. The group I hunt with alot is about as frustrated as I've become because they constantly have to wait for me to return from the cloning center after a mob teleports on top of me..stupid Baz Nitches. There is absolutely no justification for this multiplier, we already do unhealable damage to ourselves at an incredible rate..why throw this in?

Something is wrong when you can be taken down by a light blue con creature or NPC. It's just insult to injury.

Guy having to be revived three and four times a day not including cloning.
This penalty is stupid and ridiculous. Would some please tell me why it hurts more to hold a rifle, even if that rifle has a nearly identical carbine counterpart (as with the E11) or that rifle is smaller than a pistol (as with the Spraystick)? The "riflemen can't defend themselves at point blank" is not a valid reason, if that were universal, we should get the modifier on brawlers at range because they can't defend against blaster bolts. We already have terrible attack mods at point blank on all our guns, I'm sick of getting hit in melee by Meatlumps for as much as Tuskens can hit me at range as well.

I vote to keep the 2.5x modifier. I do not sign your petition.
