Mandalore: Ranged or Melee?

[Whitebloodcell]

It seem to me that Mandalore is better suited to Melee Combat (

as was Candy in the first

than Ranged. Despite Mandalore starting with Feats more toward Rifle Use, he attributes suggest he is good up close. His Strength is higher than dexterity, and can be improved with his Implants plus other implants. His armor eliminates any dexterity Defence Bonus, further taking away a nenefit of ranged combat. He has so many feats to play with due to his Soldier status he can become a formiddable Melee Chracter. Which way do other people prefer?

[Kavar]

I prefer to make him my primary rifleman, just offers me and handmaiden/other jedi support from long range. Also, If things get rough, I make him pull out his gamorrean war axe and kick some ass.

[Final Warrior]

I use him for ranged, but if things get tough, Mandalore swings out two axes and gets ready to put the beat down on any Bounty Hunters and/or Sith.

[norwaymaster]

all out assault with meele, his STR is much better than his DEX so ust strap him in with implants and so, and give him some badass weapon and hes fighting with the ranks of jedis:D

[Kroven]

yeah, mandalore is bast suited for meele fighting:D

[Derc]

He's Ranged for me. Even though his armor allows him no DEX:mad:

 

But to me, it's not Mandalore without a big rifle firing away.

If your skills are high enough, you can make an underlay that grants +3 dex to the armor
