I decided made my first replay with shaman summons/conjurer/riffle and Eagle totem. I have doubt on the creator totem I noticed many enemies will attack the shaman instead of the summon, but worth a try. Yeah heavy invest on summons seems a bad idea but for a pure shaman, no mage, no weapon, no rigger/decker, no Biotech, only summons+conjuring it let not many spells to buy, no weapons to buy, no Biotech to buy, so it let a large amount of money to buy many summons scrolls. The second bad point of shaman is to not have shooting ability beside the basic conjurer spell. What isn't good is there's no free summons, you should have some with a long cooldown and not as strong than those that are consumed. Eventually there's a countdown of lost control and after 3 you can't control it back anymore. But to temper a bit the random effect impact the control should be recalculated at each turn even when you lost control. )Įdit: But I have to say that I imported my character from DMS, which I finished mostly with the AP buffs and a handgun - and I'm told its scaling is quite easy.įor me summon control is a good point and even feel it as a nice originality. :)īut yes, there is no "one" thing the shaman actually excells at - they should add one in the next expansion. Also you really don't have to worry about healing or repairing them - but you will only use them in urgent situations, because they are expensive.Īnd dont forget the hellfire barrier - that one room full of about 7 enemies I baitet through this one door trapped with hellfire (stuns) into my team waiting in ambush arround the next corner. Some summons also have nice secondary effects like, burning, AP drain, sleepstate, and so on on their attacks. But in most missions I had my party plan their moves and then finished off targets on my own - because I would have less of a "miss" tendency and 0 AP penalty on reloads - it became REALLY fun once I had the Roomsweeper (Pistol that acts like a shotgun) - with the "shoot three targets for one AP" perk (once every three turns).Īnd just for those cases where you need your turns to finish off an opponent and have this pesky ork standing near you - take one AP and throw an Earth golem in front of his feet. In some missions I would just start running and never stop, baiting opponents hitting and retreating. :) Have speced out handguns and pistol as well - and became a "cleaner" class by myself. It's technically classless so you can make any character you want.Let me tell you about having +2AP haste 4, +1 AP haste 3, +1 AP throgh the adrenalin pump and the racoon totem which gives you and party +2 on movement (party while in range). Physical Adept: A magic based class that focuses on hand to hand combat. Rigger: A class based around heavy usage of drones. Shaman: A magical class capable of summoning spirit creatures. Street Samurai: Weapons specialists that use guns and blades.ĭecker: Hackers that can override security cameras and hijack defense systems. Mage: Magic users with access to a variety of offensive and defensive spells. Riggers are able to possess their drones for scouting and combat.Īlso, while the game has you choose an archtype Magic users are also able to see Ley Lines and power circles on the map which gives they increased magic while they are standing on them. The more you use spirits and invest power in them the greater chance they have to break free. What is neat is they have incorporated spirits breaking control. Shaman are able to summon spirits from items they carry as well as items in the world. They show the difference is combat style between Street Sam, Mage, Shaman and Rigger. On Steam is a really great video of Alpha gameplay footage. Typhoidtimmy":1cn1hj4f]As you can see by the above thread link, I was one of those that backed the fuck outta this game. It hits the high notes on a majority of the big events and the big names associated with them. Also they prescribed "hate" very effectively, which wasn't always the case in RPG's both tabletop and video game wise but a very real and very sad part of reality.īout the most recent timeline that can bring you up to date with a lot of the going's on (and books that correspond to them) is here: When magic and myth suddenly becomes reality, you could expect the shit to hit the proverbial fan worldwide and explosively and they put it out there in black & white, warts and all. This system has a deep background, spanning untold generations (hell sometimes longer if you drop in some certain elves) and the really great thing about it is that they really got it right in a lot of areas. ![]() I played ever iteration including the weirdo Japanese MegaCD port through a very obscure MaMe. Long, long, long time player/writer/rpger on the system. As you can see by the above thread link, I was one of those that backed the fuck outta this game.
