Thread: HAM costs need to be changed.
i know this has been said 100 times, but maybe if we keep saying someone will listen, doubtful, but ya never know. now obviously the mind costs are insane. we hurt ourself more than our enemy, and since we cant just use a stim and get back into the fighting, in big battles you can take out one or two people without much problem, then sit around waiting till your mind is back up. Now i am definitely not saying i want the specials changed to drain from action or health. I know there are many people out there, myself included, that picked a specific race because of the bonus to mind/focus/or willpower just to be rifleman. changing it to action would not be fair because then the reason so many people chose a specific race is gone and they are left with a character that they cannot fix.
so mind costs definitely need to be lowered. how is it that the other classes get to heal there HAM's with stims, and get far lower HAM costs at the same time? also, not just our mind costs, but also costs for other specials like suppression fire i believe drains from action.....or one of those type moves. now since our Mind HAM costs are so incredibly high, most of us have gimped all our other stats to have the highest mind possible so that we can get off the most shots without killing ourselves. so that when we fire off one of these specials, it hurts us even more. and even our action and health costs are higher than pistols and carbines.
dont know what else to say so.........The End
