Zundy Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 As the title says. Aggressive grab plus grab again maybe. Triggers "X is trying to rip of Y's Z". They're strong boys and would be able to this. Maybe make it so Unathi males and vac warrior forms are immune to this.
Roostercat Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I mean, Vaurca warriors can pretty much already do this with the bite ability.
Zundy Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 For clarity, is warrior form playable? Am I confusing another sub species with the big tank buggos that are admin bus?
Roostercat Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) OH. I thought you were just saying vaurca warrior weird. But do you mean warforms? I am confused as to whether you mean the vaurca warriors or the warforms, which are two different things. Edited January 27, 2020 by Roostercat
Zundy Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The ones we can play. The "little" one tile boys (that are actually like 8ft). The playable ones. The sec boys. They're warrior forms right? Edited January 27, 2020 by Zundy
Roostercat Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 They are just called warriors. “Warrior forms” makes it sound like you mean the warforms, as in the giant adminbus monsters of death. The ones we can play are just called warriors. And they have an ability to bite with their mandibles, which tends to sever limbs after 2-3 bites.
GreenBoi Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Warriors could decap with a few headbites on an armorless person before, but I think it's stupidly hard now so I'd rather have that back. For ripping off limbs in general? I'd say no, I can see this easily being abused by both sides, though with Unathi more as they have a larger playerbase and thus- you'd be able to see abuse from there more.
canon35 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I don't think this is really needed or explainable for both sides. Vaurca and unathi tend to be stronger, but it is not like they're superhuman or wookie level.
DeadLantern Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I think you overestimate how powerful Unathi are, and underestimate how much force you need to rip off a limb (a normal, fully-attached healthy limb)
N8-Toe Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 add in a power loader being able to delimb? sure. another crewmember? yeah no limbs don't come off easily. also this would abused so fucking hard.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 No thank you. We can already break cuffs and this would be a bit extra. i have to keep the mask on or people will KNOW I self insert into strong, tall brown unathi with huge horns you know?
Sytic Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Limbs are very much designed not to come off, regardless of species. So, no. -1.
Zundy Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Realism wise yeah I agree, but my angle is more "fun/cool" mechanics to be clear. If you're not down with it as a concept then that's cool but don't think of it from a "hmmm it takes 200kn to rip an arm off but 2000n to rip apart handcuffs thus physically no". Edited January 28, 2020 by Zundy
FearTheBlackout Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 The Unathi gender mechanical imbalance already upsets me as-is. Give it to both or neither.
