I might just be reading the books incorrectly but the Battlebabe looks more tanky/defensive rather than death-dealing offensive as far as combat stats go. Not that the stats have to determine how a character's played, obviously! I'm just sayin'.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I don't think you need to think of characters on Apocalypse World in terms that are as ... I don't know, role-oriented as other games.  What makes you think that the Battlebabe is 'tanky'?  I don't see anything in the moveset that really suggests it.  Remember that how a character interacts with Apocalypse World is mostly defined by their moves, to the degree that as the MC, I don't roll dice and just do whatever I want anyway -- but usually I only get to make hard moves against the cast when they make a bad roll themselves.<br/><br/>It's also why Seize By Force assumes you get hurt, and you have to spend some of your Hold to reduce that, etc.<br/><br/>I'd say the difference between a gunlugger and a battlebabe is more of a texture thing; the gunlugger's maybe the girl in my avatar, the battlebabe's the Man With No Name.<br/><br/>I have a handful of commentary on yesiroleplay's hold ideas, too, here they are:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">- a former technician for an electrical wind farm desperately trying to keep one turbine running, cannibalizing parts from the other towers in the farm - resource the hold provides is electrical power.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Anybody who ever worked technology professionally before the end of the world is dead, or if they're not, they're close to it.  Folks who predate the apocalypse were mostly kids when it happened, and they're not great PC material.  The wind farm is awesome though.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">- a ranch in the south texas brush country.  Vaqueros equipped with machetes, bolos, and whips ride the thick brush rounding up feral hogs and cattle - a breed reminiscent of the Longhorn, though with many Brahmin features. - main resource is protein - mostly pork and beef</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This is my favorite.  It's gritty, practical, it's got flavor to it.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> - a scattering of city-states along the Colorado river in the area that dried up after someone nuked Hoover dam and Lake Mead drained away.  - interesting here is that a driver could be a riverboat captain, and control a crew like a chopper - or a chopper gang could be the crew of a riverboat</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This is my least favorite because I don't really like boats and living next to a river might make the whole 'hot as hell' thing less of an issue.  Unless the rivers are full of monsters.
