Leon!
You know the one. Protecc. They run faster than your walk, slower than your run.
You have a charge. Maybe they're on a preplanned route. Maybe you can tell them to hide in a dumpster.
Raiders are peeps who want your charge's blood/oil/parts.
Steps are what a full move is. 30 ft. 6 squares. 40 ft. whatever fits for the gamu.
Lets see where this goes.
Escort map where...
-
Your charge is painful to be around. Can't shoulder to shoulder with 'em.
-
You need to tow your charge around. The paths available are same length, different advantages/disadvantages to 'em.
-
The normal path is long as fuck and leads into traps. Your charge cannot stop for whatever reason [Time sensitive mission to get 'em to extraction, maybe they're a big gun]. You can cut a path via fighting enemy squads defending destructibles, while also keeping an eye on raiders.
Destructible take a full 3 solid hits. Maybe they're sometimes guarded by anti-single target peeps [evadelords. another duelist who'll leave yours limping back afterwards. swarm.]
-
Your charge is way stronger than you, but so are the enemies. Work well with your charge to survive.
-
There's spots your charge can hide in when raiders come. Someone must guide the charge there. It's always 2 Steps away.
-
The enemy wants your charge alive and won't use their dangerous AoE. Your charge doesn't like being used as a human shield and freaks out, moving away. Need to keep 'em bound to not get omegashelled.
-
Your charge is very fast, but their route is fixed and long. There's known trapped and ambush areas ahead. You can traverse where your charge cannot. [just that one mission from AC4:FA with the GA trucks]
-
Your charge doesn't die at 0HP, they berserk. [prototype goes sicko mode for a bit, some escaped alchemy experiment, whatever] 5 Hits, they deal 2 Hits single target, very vulnerable to disabling abilities. [deals 4 hits to 'em if impaired or whatever].
-
As above, but your charge nukes the battlefield instead. [wrathful god, orbital bombardment beacon triggering a deadman's switch.] You can repair it if you live. There's shelter, some only hold 1.
-
Your charge must be strung along via waypoints you set. [AI bot. Golem. optics and thermals on a big mech got shot and now they can only RADAR]
