Help me build an unusual IMP[message #29210]

Hey all.

I'm going to start a new game, and I'm going to impose an unusual new limitation on my IMP.

No explosives at all, meaning no grenades or gunpowder and thus, guns. The other mercs can do it, just not the IMP.

I'm thinking a lot of throwing knives, plus a combat knife for up close encounters. Maybe I'll take the dart gun, too, but I'll not sure.

This will be totally cool, but I'm unsure which skills to take. I'm leaning towards knifing and throwing, but I'm not sure if I shouldn't trade something out for night ops or stealthy.

What do you guys think?

All I can suggest is spend all your points on agility, dexterity, and strength. And a fair amount on health and medical, if you plan on bringing a knife to a gunfight....

I've never played it without some form of high-powered weaponry in my IMP's hands, so I'm not sure.

I think it will be a tough game, mostly for organising the finances.
If Ira is not going to do all the killing it's higly likely your AIM-mercs will want a salary-raise before the end of the first week. (IMP's don't get salaries not to mention ask for a raise. And with the 1.13 mod you can have 6IMP's for $18-thousand)

http://www.jaggedalliance2.com/secrets/secrets03.html , contains some info on MERC-skills and bonuses.

Myself, I would go for NightOps (increased range of sight and interupts, at night) coupled with Martial Arts.
NightOps would increase the chances of my merc spotting an enemy, taking 'the initiative to fall-back'. Smile

Throwing is a good one but since I wouldn't be able to throw grenades, I'm not using that.
The MartialArts has something to do with me being small and the M.A.merc having a small-male-body-type.
I'm not the knife type, too many times have I sneaked up on an enemy, poked him with a knife to watch him turn around to kill my merc...

Ooh, don't have 1.13 installed.

Anyway, it might kind of ruin the challenge if I get some practical blades. Would have been nice to have that 4 AP Kbar from SOG'69 though...

Lack of bullets has forced me to knife my way through various maps in all the usual mods etc. Even in std JA Dimitri can take a 12 plus rural sector at night entirely with throwing knives. It's a blast but the real knife expert you need to speak to is WUDU.

Yeah, I saw. I just came off SOG'69 and it's a bit of a downer to pay 7 AP a slash.

But like I said. If I got some actually useful blades, it might break the challenge.

I actually made a squad of characters like that with that mod. They use tasers and crossbows, consisting of a 'Ninja' leader IMP 'Shinobi', Dmitri, Shank, Dynamo, Spider and Shadow.

Aside from Shinobi, Shank is actually the second most capable unit in the squad, though he's managed to reach level 9-10 through raising his assorted skills and stats, so they're my hard hitters, with my IMP scoring the distance shots with Dmitri spotting at closer range or with Them-Ops, Shank moving in with throwing knives and his trusy Seal 2000, Dynamo provides covert automatic fire and is my man for getting through doors and assaulting buildings with Shadow. Spider doesn't do much combat, or really anything actually, since most missions mean never being seen on the job. She lugs most of the other gear, but makes emergency bandaids when someone stubs their toe or fails to catch something tossed between members. ;D

Night ops is better then stealth, because NO mercs can get 1.5 extra square of LOS during night missions, and if you give them Night googles... They're perfect spotters for your marksmen and markswomen (Buzz, Hitman...)
