I'd be pretty happy with that. 'Guy who can fight, lead and sneak' is a pretty standard concept that is all over everything, but Gary and Dave broke it up into 'guy who can do nothing but fight, guy who can do nothing but sneak and at 9th level you get some little dudes' for no reason whatsoever.Whipstitch wrote:Street Samurai are an exception that proves the rule when it comes to viable "martial" characters. Relying on your skills, attributes and over-the-counter equipment is much less onerous when Skill/attribute rolls are seriously the primary mechanic and you can buy jetpacks and VTOL hunter-killers. Even then, the most important part is that magic is nerfed sufficiently that there's no personal teleportation or complex object conjuration.
Oh, and I used scare quotes because optimized street samurai have a funny tendency to look more like rogues more than anything else.
Really, better at hiding and fighting with daggers and light armor (and, sigh, being the only Trap Guy) isn't a separate concept. It is a particular style of stabbery.
