Yeah I'm trying to think how anyone can face off against guns and drones if you're a melee combatant. Can't always be "aether" esp for characters such as mine who are all physical. Mages could counter machinists probably.
The machinist can miss. The gladiator's shield can catch a bullet. The pugilist can hoof it to some cover and get lucky while trying to approach -- and these are just things off the top of my head. Depending on the specific encounter/fight/combat scene, there may be a bunch of other variables that can result in one outcome or the other. OR MORE.
Use your imaginations! Get clever with your writing, scene direction and storytelling! Make it work with your partners!
