Thread: An idea for what to do about ranged fighters
I don't know if this has been suggested or thought of or anything, but maybe penalizing a gunner's speed while running away? I can't run full speed and/or run straight if I run looking over my shoulder in real life (maybe my balance is just bad); I tend to either slow down or veer off to a side. The idea of running while looking over my shoulder and aiming at someone is pretty bad to me.
Or maybe remove the ability to attack things that aren't in a certain arc. I.e., don't allow backwards attacks. I could realistically see a backwards shot as a trickshot, or melee back-attacks, but normally firing a gun behind me while moving just isn't a viable choice.
If veering was something that was put in, maybe you could put in a skill mod that decreased the amount. It's reasonable that a Master would be better at doing it than a Novice.
(I realize that realism isn't always the way to go with these things. They're only ideas/suggestions.)
