good news involving my Sadistic Savage Worlds GM.
the last 2 sessions, i actually got bennies for impressing him with my knowledge of the trick rules, because his NPCs never seem to do anything but outright fire a bullet or throw a Grenade.
i pointed out the tricks i used. which were very useful against some snipers, and well, started abusing terrain. in fact, he seemed surprised that i didn't simply fire a bullet like everyone else.
the sniper the session before, i flashed him a shot of london and France as a smarts trick, which actually works well as a female character targeting male opponents. i got so many raises the sniper couldn't keep his balance and literally fell off the ledge he was sniping from to his death
just tonight, i ambushed another sniper, poked him in the eyes as an agility trick to hinder his aim, then proceeded to throw him off the roof. both of which succeeded with raises
then there was that one guy covered to the brim with armor, that i outright murdered with a kick to the nads. who happened to be
a wild card that fell in one hit, and the GM literally wasted 3 bennies before failing to soak even 2 of the 5 wounds. without martial artist.
i swear, i am using more tools than the rest of the group and it is paying off. there was also a trio of wolves attacking me, that i one shotted with a successful rapid attack manuever to freaking kick
sure, he generally causes persuasion rolls to autofail most of the time. but as the only unarmored character in the party, i am literally taking down more opponents without firing a bullet, than the players who actually bother to make bullet holes.
hell, i don't even have the strength to wear good armor, and i am literally wrecking stuff.
he, just like the rest of the group, doesn't use tricks, maneuvers, tests of will or called shots. generally throwing a grenade or firing a bullet. plus nobody else in the group uses the survival guide copies i provided them. in fact, these minmaxed navy seal wannabes, were taken down by a young girl with small as her major hindrance and a strength, vigor, fighting, and agility of d6 and smarts of d8. a girl who can't carry more than 18 pounds without penalties and thus is wearing casual clothing instead of armor, carries no real weapon of significant potency, has next to no combat edges, and is a damned scavenger focused on notice, technology and repair. parry of 5 and toughness of 4.
in fact, it seems the Timid Scavenger has more balls than the rest of the group. and outshines the mountain of gun wielding rogues in combat with enemies that one shouldn't even bother to take down. in fact, my taunt and intimidate, i'm rolling at a d4 with a -2 for being untrained, on top of a -2 for being timid, and doing better than the rest of the group at it.
i literally feel like a munchkin for doing stuff the GM and all of the other players won't do.
