New skill.

Suggestion scope

Applies to zombies.

Suggestion description

Edit: Idea has been rewritten. The new version is under "Corpse Disguise Revised" [[1]]

Zombies should have the ability to "play dead," i.e. show up as a corpse on a human players' screen. This ability can be turned on/off for one AP. A zombie cannot move, attack, or make any sound while in "corpse disguise" mode. This skill would allow low hp or low-ap zombies to hide out amongst the dead and would be less likely to be picked off. In addition, zombies could set up ambushes, monitor safe houses, etc.

Of course, this new ability alone would give an obvious unfair advantage to the zombies. So, humans should have a twenty perecent chance of uncovering a corpse-disguised zombie.

For example:

You enter a factory. There are five dead bodies.

You search the area. You find nothing. Suddenly, one of the dead bodies makes a horrible groaning sound.

The human player's monitor would then register a zombie in the area, thus allowing the player to attack it.

Also, whenever a player drags a disguised-body out of the building, the disguise is uncovered 100% of the time.

Furthermore, Zombie Hunters and scientists have a fifty percent chance of uncovering disguised zombies upon searching the area. Other zombies can instantly identity a dead corpse from a fake corpse.

For example:

You enter a factory. There are four dead bodies and one other zombie disguised as a corpse.

Kill Votes

1. Kill Very overpowered. --User:Axe27/Sig 04:22, 10 May 2007 (BST)
2. Kill If I got this right then you cant attack then when they are in disguise. That would make it where the zombies can just lay down all around the streets and not be attacked. Especially at malls where you can have over 100 dead there all of them can lay down outside and all the survivors can do is wait for them to stand up and attack. WAY overpowered. --RAF Lt.G Deathnut ^RAF 06:16, 10 May 2007 (BST)
3. Kill - Deathnut does have a point. --Sonofagun18 07:06, 10 May 2007 (BST)
