Squad Leader Archive

I have a suggestion for making Squad Leader a little more effective.

What if SL gave bonuses to the people of the group based on their profession. Such as all doctors heal more, all combat medics can heal at a higher range. Maybe CH's pets get bonus, ect. It could be a special ability like /inspire. Kind of like a Rally but gives bonuses based on profession/skills being used.

Also, what if SLs being in the lead gave a slight bonus to the groups XP. So a Medic would get slightly more XP if they were in a group with a SL. I know that would get people to want to group with a SL.

What does everyone think? Any good?

I like the sound of it...but I think that would cause a major upsurge of SLs in the community. Leaders shouldn't be a dime a dozen, and I hope whatever improvements they make to SL don't bring thousands over to our profession.

I'm beginning to think that SL is broken on purpose...so they can weed out the true leaders who could never just settle for something else. That way, when they do make SL an amazing and fully functional profession...everyone will be too far along in their current character models to want to ditch them for SL and they know the people that stuck it out really deserve to be there.

Yeah...then again, maybe not. I don't know what's come over me, I'm usually heinously pessimistic.
