[BNW] Sneak Weak?

[Chris DeKalb <theseus@linnaean.org>]

Greetings All,

I've been reading the thread about the Sneak package and thought I would
mention some of the benefits.
While the Sneak does not have the raw power that the Blaster or Goliath
have, I think it has great potential if combined with the proper skills.

One of the NPCs I'm going to be adding to my site (as soon as I get off
my butt and write out the stats ~grin~) is a Ninja style character.  The
Sneak is a natural power selection.  Add in plenty of Martial Arts and
athletic skills and you have a solid fighter that can be a lot of fun to
play.
Or, give the character a high-powered rifle and he/she would make a
fearsome Sniper.   While the sneak wouldn't have the to hit bonus they
could remain effectively invisible between their shots.  Not terribly
heroic... but if you manage to stop the Primer from killing your buddy I
think the results are worth it. ;)

Of course as a sentry, gaurd or your basic D&D thief character the Sneak
also performs well.

The Sneak seems to me to be a great role-playing choice.  You just have
to choose wisely on the skills and personality.
