Tabula Rasa at Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMOG Gamers to the Next Level!

Burn, Baby, Burn!

Every good army has "shock troops," whose sole purpose is to meet an opposing force head on and engage them in battle. The Grenadier, a Commando subclass in Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa, is one of the foremost examples using a variety of area-of-effect weaponry designed to obliterate anything in her path. Rushing into battle with heavy armor and a propellant gun (which is a fancy name for a flame thrower), they are designed to not only take a beating but dish one out. Fearing the wrath of an angry flamethrower, Ten Ton Hammer has updated the Grenadier Guide; fire proof suit not included.

These are probably one of the coolest weapons you'll find in the game. While their range is obviously limited, being able to run around with a flame thrower just rules. Grenadiers expect to be up close and personal with the enemy, so the limited range of 10 meters isn't too bad. The only downside to propellant guns, is they are currently extremely expensive to use.
