it is crawler that is poop on a rope. 18 points down the dumper. crosse2 can do new theme pretty okay but don't never build him to get lotsa souls. game is decided by turn 4 most times out

I dont like them adding special rules to things link Nomads and Steelheads. Couldnt they just change stats, ranges, POWs or point costs?
It feels like mercs are loosing that "simple but effective/cheap" vibe.
And yes, I realise that it sounds like I'm too lazy or too stupid to read the back of cards.

Nomad and Mule had a change of points. Rocinate's the only Jack that has had a rule change, and it's a Character Jack Bonded as a family relic.

I could have sworn that it had a special rule added to the battle blade at one point, maybe I'm getting it mixed up with the Mangler?

Yes, both jacks withbattle blades now gained powerful charge since it's a quality tied to the weapon, not the jack, which affects both Nomads and Rocinante (since the latter seems to be a customised Nomad anyway).

Thank you for the clarification. Thats the kind of thing I'm talking about. +1 MAT would have been simpler and, as I see it, not game breaking.

I actually liked him in LR with Ashlynn and dudes. He's llaelese so he gets pathfinder and repo (with Gibbs), but now there's literally no reason to take him in LR. Even before the change all he did was provide a 3" Tough bubble, since Halberderps are not allowed in LR. I dunno why anyone would spend 4 points for that, epecially given how many quality solos there are in LR. How did you manage to get value out of him? Genuine question btw, I'm not knocking anything.
A lot of what was posted below your comment, but mostly the fact that Gibbs/Nick/Ashlynn walking around together became a real bear to get through. Tough Ashlynn with repo and no KD with a couple bodyguards becomes a very different equation. If she toughs a single time and then you hot meal, its usually a game you win.

Any updates? Also I dont have Facebook or do the cid stuff but per my friend the steelhead cid has been not too exciting: is this the general sentiment? I guess PP is hopefully saving stuff for the pirate cid and it is the holidays so maybe they're keeping things low key for now. One day devil dogs one day...

They unceremoniously closed it on Monday morning. Guess they figured there wasn't much point running the final week of a CID on their week off.

Thanks for the update folks! Any casters besides damiano stand out for the steelhead theme? I was gonna try out caine3 if for nothing else to suffer but crosse2 looked like a better alternative. Any cool ideals pop out of cid besides damiano for the steelhead theme?

Crosse is a good second/third pick behind Damiano and Magnus2.
*Mumbles about the lack of attention for casters who needed some attention during the cid*
Really it just seems Damiano, Crosse2 and Magnus2 want to play this theme.
