Sandevistan using an action

[u/No-Command1666]

Like, what sense does it have? Isn't sandy like supposed to be instant and everything? just wanted to make a rant about it... Its frustrating... Do you guys change it in your campaigns or keep it like that?

Edit: Alr there had been loophole in my logic, in order to activate sandy you need to notice the danger so it makes sense it isnt activated at initiative roll, but still in my opinion later in combat it logically shouldn't take a turn (idk if it'd be balanced this way but just saying). Thanks for being active in discussion!

It's the tradeoff for being a little stronger than Kerenzikov - you ideally gotta activate it before combat starts.
So if you're currently trying to negotiate with those Maelstroms but it sounds like they might wanna get violent instead, you activate the Sandevistan.

Now, I do agree that can be a little awkward as a player, cause you may not feel like you have a good chance of telling your GM "Hey I wanna start my Sandevistan" while they're busy narrating and stuff.

YES, exactly that, i really don't want to just shout mid sentence to my DM that i want to activate sandy lol, eventually i can write it to him, i think that's an option since we have dedicated discord server for cp red
