Much later edit: I'll resubmit once voting ends. I do believe now that I see why everybody disliked this. Misunderstandings, gotta love 'em, heh... I'll clarify much more next time.

With Lurching Gait 1 Move =1 AP
With Crazed Runner 1 Move ="potentially" .66 AP.
Conceptually, 3 actions by at Crazed Runner costs 2 AP.

Zombies in the recent flicks have this incredibly scary run, much faster than the traditional Romero lurch. In order to not upsed the balance of action points vs. speed, the "zombie run" could be simulated as approximately 1 move =.66 action points where the first two actions must be movement-based. This would require tracking the last 2 prior actions of a zombie and might be tough to implement (see proposed pseudocode solution below).

As stated above, the "free" third action, though originally conceived as movement (and could optionally be limited as such), might not even need to be a movement; it could be an attack, simulating a rush forward and then instant attack, not costing the extra AP as long as the prior two actions were spent moving.

Remember that the zombie doesn't just "jump" 3 spaces away (assuming the third action is used for movement). He still has to travel the intervening blocks, and it's his choice to move that third space. This is not a benefit to zombies that are stationary or don't choose to travel. "Crazed Runner" skill could be a foil for the "Motorcycle/Car" proposals.

Code-wise, this could be implemented thusly:

// - zombies initialize move_count to value of MIN_RUNNING

constant var MIN_RUNNING =0; constant var MAX_RUNNING =2; constant var MAX_RUNNING_AP =1;

perform-action(zombie, action) [

// Running - movement tracking if (zombie.hasSkill("running")) [

// if movement is at maximum count; reward zombie if (zombie.move_count ==MAX_RUNNING) [ zombie.move_count =MIN_RUNNING; if (action.point_cost <=MAX_RUNNING_AP) [ action.point_cost =0; ] ] else [

// alter movement tracking if (action.type equals "move") [

// if zombie is moving; increment zombie.move_count++; ] else [

// if zombie is doing anything else; reset zombie.move_count =MIN_RUNNING; ] ] ]

// end running section ... continue code ]

• Killing Blow: the wielder can empty an entire pistol clip into the target, with reduced chance to hit per each bullet.
• Both Barrels: the wielder can empty both barrels of the shotgun into the target, with reduced chance to hit per shell.
• Sever: the wielder of a knife can cut a zombie's hamstrings, physically damaging the zombie so as to move more slowly. Reduced chance to hit, but a success temporarily eliminates Lurching Gait (I don't know. 20 AP/10 steps worth?)
• Cleave: the wielder of an axe can split a zombie's head open, inflicting a bit of XP damage (3, to parallel the axe's normal damage?). Again, reduced chance to hit.
• Crush: the wielder of a blunt weapon can crush a zombie's head, extending the time it takes them to regenerate (eliminates Ankle Grab for the next stand-up). Has to be used as the final strike.

CAN BE FOUND AT:

1. Garages and Auto Repair shops.

PROVIDES:

1. Survivor movement from square to square for ZERO action point...

REQUIRES:

1. Fuel - like guns need ammo.
2. For each square moved by motorbike - use one fuel point instead of 1 AP.

EXTRA FUEL:

1. If you already have a motorbike and you find another - you siphon off the fuel.
2. If you find fuel cans you can also gain more fuel.

RESTRICTIONS:

1. While you have a motorbike in your possession you CANNOT cross barricades - just like zombies can't.
2. But you CAN still enter unbarricaded buildings (otherwise how do you get more fuel?).
3. It MIGHT also cost 2 APs to move from square to square if you have no fuel left.

NUMBER OF ITEMS: Several options:

1. (a) it counts as 2 items, like a shotgun,
2. (b) it allows you to carry an extra 5 items
3. (c) simply count as 0 items...

AS A WEAPON:

1. You could allow attempts to use a motorbike to run down victims - like a weapon.
2. Unlike movement it WILL cost an Action Point as well as fuel.
3. Maybe include a fumble chance in which you lose your motorbike in a bad attack.

SKILLS:

1. Motorbike skills could improve attack percentages...
2. ... and perhaps also allow you to cross very light barricades???

PLAY BALANCE:

1. Would be really neat for "scout types" to cross large areas of the board. This would be the main advantage.
2. But it would also cause certain player groups to tear down barricades themselves - so they can also stay in buildings.
3. Allowing them skills to cross very light barricades gives them a chance to hide.
4. The search for fuel is likely to counter act any other advantages.
5. Really this just like spending ages searching for ammo before going out with a shotgun, rather than just using a fire axe, but with disadvantges too.
6. Frankly player movement is not a huge part of the 50 AP budget - searching for items is.
7. Overall motorbikes will be a mixed blessing, but good for Role Play perhaps.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:

1. What is the effect on a zombie of having a motorbike? Do they simply lose it in death?
2. Should restrictions apply to motorbikes inside multi-square buildings? Or do we want the youth of today riding through the malls?

Additional enhancements to Feign Death could include:

1. unsuggested counter-skill for survivors to detect feigning Zombies and attack them
   
2. unsuggested counter-skill for survivors to damage bodies
   
3. All Zombies or Zombies with a particular (possibly unsuggested, or an addition to an existing) skill (or above a certain level) can spot feigning zombies.

This skill would aid starting-out zombies who do not have Lurching Gait, or old-hand survivors who turn into zombies and are at the mercy of any and all headshot-mavens. This would not be a subskill.

EDIT- Oh and forgot to mention, the kits are one use only, the creation of the syringe uses all of the kits supplys to create. And yes, the name does need some work.

This suggestion's intent is to:

1. Make it easier for newbies to enter H+ barricaded buildings
2. Make it easier for people who have had their police station barricaded to EH by griefers to recover
3. Prevent griefers from abusing the item by disallowing them to destroy the barricade entirely with ease
4. Give the Crowbar an actual use

This will seriously curtail this silliness and allow us to spot liars, making the game more fun for everyone else.
