Frontier Companion 4 The
 |
This new sourcebook for The Frontier RPG collects 5 new classes along with several new weapons and equipment that were previously published in separate supplements.
The Gunner: Wars are not won by big armies¸ they're won by big guns. And those guns must be handled by people with the training¸ the skill and the courage to make the most out of them in the battlefield. The Gunner is an expert in using heavy weapons to beat the opposition into submission. His abilities don't just focus on consistent damage output¸ but also on pinning the enemy down with autofire and making effective use of heavy armor to protect himself from retribution. Also included is an array of heavy weapons to arm your Gunner with¸ such as frag cannons¸ miniguns and sabot cannons.
The Gunslinger: Give the Gunslinger a knife and he can slice some bread. Give him a sword and he'll probably lop off his own hand. But if you give him a couple of pistols¸ you can just sit back and watch the body count rise. This hardened warrior needs nothing more than a pair of pistols to command the battlefield. Use his Grit to perform quick but devastating attacks to decimate the opposition. And just in case you didn't have enough weapons to shoot¸ there's 17 new pistols included¸ from the common One-shot Express to the legendary Redeemer.
The Juggernaut: Meet the Juggernaut! Strong as an ox¸ healthy as a horse and mad like a rabid wolverine. The Juggernaut is a close combat expert. Who needs bullets and grenades when you can roam the wilderness with your trusty hammer in hand and smash the bad guys' face in? Better yet¸ choose one of the 13 new close combat weapons included¸ from the Lazerhawk and Bloodbrother to the legendary Blammer!
The Sniper: Be more than a guy carrying a rifle with a big scope! The Sniper is a new class that allows you to play one of these elite marksmen. With a good vantage point and clear lines of sight¸ you'll be able to deliver death from far away. Pick your shots carefully to achieve the focus required to perform your most impressive shots. As you work your way towards the pinnacle of marksmanship¸ you will also get the chance to wield 11 new sniper rifles¸ from the uncommon Blackhat to the legendary Ionstorm.
The Witch: The Witch is a psionics user that foregoes illusions and mind tricks to focus on commanding the elements of nature like the witches of legend. With power over fire¸ cold and electricity¸ even the weather itself¸ the Witch is a potent character that can burn¸ freeze or shock enemies at will. You will also find details on psi-crystals¸ rare mineral formations only encountered on Prometheus that can amplify psionic powers in a multitude of ways.
