Title: Rigger anti-Bard
Post by: Chalkarts on <04-25-18/1945:12>
I had an idea for a reverse Bard and rigger seems like the way to go.  I wanted to throw the concept out there and see if anyone knew a better way to achieve the goal of an anti-Bard.

What I mean by anti Bard is instead of using songs and melodies to buff the party he uses drones equipped with speakers, smoke machines, strobe lights, flashbangs and such to assault any opposition with so many combat penalties that my group, equipped with helmets giving them thermo, sound suppression, flash compensation etc, so they are unhindered because the bloody rave going on.

DJ Drek
Human, maybe Orc.
Several small non combat drones fitted with all the goods for a bangin raid.  He’s an ok fighter but he’s much better at partying and being the best dance party anywhere he goes.

Is there a better way to be an anti-Bard, or is this solid formula for the idea?

It actually works so well they banned Noizquito drones from SRM play.

Classic Catalyst. One of the few actually usable Drones in Rigger 5 and it´s so obviously overpowered that it has to be banned in Missions  :P

Well, there will surely be some kind of Errata to fix this in the near future...  ::)
