Description

An expansion for the MechWarrior, Second Edition role-playing game, the MechWarrior Companion includes new archtypes, expanded and new skill section, detailed rules on running Clan characters and games. Rules to assist in integration between the tabletop game and RPG, including rules for Dual Cockpits, and creature and equipment fill out the remainder of the book.

Save a few exceptions, much of the additional information was later included, altered and expanded upon in the MechWarrior, Third Edition main book and LosTech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide.

From the back cover

“ Get outta yer 'Mech...

...and into the action!

"Listen up MAGGOTS, 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. It don't matter how big your 'Mech is. It don't matter how many guns you've got. It don't even matter that your uncle is the bleedin' Grand Duke of Planet X. If you ain't got the training, the experience, and the sheer guts of a real MechWarrior, you're as good as dead before you even leave the hangar. So pay attention and don't talk back, 'cause the life you save could be mine." - Sergent Major Jerrard Clydesdale, to the NAIS Training Cadre's new recruits, September 11, 3057

The MechWarrior Companion is an expansion rulebook for the MechWarrior, Second Edition roleplaying game. A must-have resource for players and gamemasters, the MechWarrior Companion offers players new skills, advantages, and equipment for their characters, and gives gamemasters helpful advice on running campaigns, creating exciting story lines, and involving the Clans in adventures. The MechWarrior Companion also provides new rules for resolving combat, including expanded guidelines for combining the BattleTech and MechWarrior Gaming Systems.
