Good stealth skill and a Ranger-X combat bow. Your first warning is an
arrow in the brain. Oh, bullet barrier? Call this a bullet? Adios muchachos...

And no MBW-4. Wired-II and a few other tweaks, is all. Nothing too fancy.

Nobody is invincible. The best defence against a Mana Bolt is a thermal-
smoke grenade. My weapons have ultrasound sights. What are you using?

This is the usual debate, usually centred on "if I set the starting conditions
then I kick ass".

Besides... I know mages are inherently more powerful. That's why I play
mercs and samurai, because kicking magical butt is much more satisfying
then.
