Hi,
I received an e-mail query re Predators in Slammer.
It looks a good'un to pass around the Y! Group.

Have any of you played Predators in Slammer ?
Have you come up with your own rules or scenarios for them ?

Predators get passing mention in Slammer, and the Warrior attribute
was set up with them in mind...

IIRC there was some discussion of Predators in the early days of the Y! group
but I don't have the references handy.

Off the top of my head ...

If you are playing Pred's against humans or other gun toting
troops, the Preds should always be individuals, i.e. Heroes or
Monsters. A Predator group may only have one leader. He's not
necessarily the smartest but he is the toughest, ugliest of the
bunch...

Predators don't usually get the Fanatic motivation, they are far too sneaky for
that. But they do get Warrior.
Of course.
:o)

Weaponry:
Preds are close combat specialists. They are unlikely to use long-range fire.
Many of their melee weapons can be thrown.
Their shoulder mounted blaster could be tret as a Blaster Pistol for range and
damage. I'm not sure, they should get a hit mod for the three spot laser as it's
just a sighting mechanism for the remote weapon.

Predator Cloaking:
Pred cloaking devices/camoflage screens get a hit modifier of -4.
Cloaked Preds beyond Close Range (4inches) have to be located each time they are
shot at. This means firers have to make one 'to hit' roll to locate a predator,
then another to actually hit the bugger. Both rolls get the cloaked
modifier plus any others for cover or concealment.
Some creatures and systems e.g. Gieger Aliens, Smart Guns, etc. are unnaffected
by the cloaking system.

Predators are fast, tough and agile.
But then you all knew that already ...

Work up your own stats, try them out and let us know how well they work (or
not).

Have fun,

Chris Nicole
