Flailing Gesture is a zombie skill which allows the player to indicate towards a set list of in-game objects or concepts. It is a child skill of Memories of Life. Like all zombie skills, Flailing Gesture costs players of all character clases 100 Experience Points (XP) to purchase.
Overview
Zombies who have purchased the skill have the option to Gesture to a range of objects or directions given in a drop-down menu (the exhaustive list of possible options is given below). Gesturing costs 1 Action Point (AP), and gives the player the message You gesture at <choice> upon use (these messages change subtly with the target of the gesture, and all variations are listed below). All other players at that location will recieve a message notifying them that you have gestured towards the target, allowing zombies to give a sense of direction without relying on Death Rattle.
Gesturing is also a quick and easy way to communicate player profiles to other zombies, and without metagaming, is the only way to do so, due to the character limitations of Death Rattle. Both the gesturing zombie, and the target of the gesture (if the target is a body, survivor or zombie), will have their profiles linked to in the resulting message viewed.
