Like a Flare for Zombies

| Type: | skill |
| Scope: | Zombies |
| Description: | In the interest of giving zombies more choices when attacking, I was thinking perhaps some attack along the lines of "flare" could be added. And in relating it to flares, I mean that it would have a high damage and low chance to hit. One idea I was kicking around is something like this: a zombie can attack any survivor with 15 hp or less left with a "brain lunge", which would have a 15% ) chance of hitting with the text "You lunge at Player X's head, crushing their skull and feasting on their brain." Feedback on text, chance to hit, damage, and similar ideas with the same goal would be appreciated.
Edit: To incorporate your feedback so far, this would be a skill under the bite tree. It could only be used on a survivor with 10hp or less, and deals 10 damage with a 15% chance to hit. Also, feedback on the name for the skill and the attack. --PdeqTalk* 23:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC) |
Discussion (Like a Flare for Zombies)
I tried this recently, its a hard one. Whats the damage etc? Or is it just the same as flare gun? And i think it will be crushed down. Flare guns are funny, but people cant use them all the time. Whats the AP cost?--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Could you link me to that similar suggestion of yours? I'd like to avoid whatever the kill voters disliked about it. --PdeqTalk* 04:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
People tend to not like zombies dealing any significant amount of damage.--Karekmaps?! 14:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
The zombies already get an accuracy boost skill that can be used anytime they manage to "grab" someone. Also with the infectious bite and digestion, they're pretty much life sucking machines. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 15:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- This wouldn't be an accuracy boost. It would be a damage boost that would only be useful if say you have 1ap left and have almost killed a survivor. A lucky zombie would then be able to make the kill. --PdeqTalk* 23:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I disagree. I'd actually like to see something like this with a low chance to hit but actually lets them "eat people's brains." I say make it a skill (under the bite tree) and require that they establish a tangling grasp on the person before the option appears. --Uncle Bill 16:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Seems ok to me.. as long as it is a skill that has to be bought. - Whitehouse 16:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
In fact, you might also want to make it a "finishing blow." If it does 10 damage (or whatever number you propose), then the survivor has to be at 10 or less HP. --Uncle Bill 16:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- That would be a lot like a low accuracy version if defenestration that could be used in any location. It might pass if it had a very good flavor. The problem in general is finding a flavor-appropriate way for zombies to do high damage.

- How do you feel about the flavor on this one (that is, on crushing a human's skull and feasting on their brain)? And do you have any preference as to whether or not this should be limited to a finishing blow (although who would use it as anything else even if it wasn't restricted)? --PdeqTalk* 02:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Um, "You lunge at Player X's head, crushing their skull and feasting on their brain" sound really painful. How bout "You lunge at Player X, biting thier head"?And could we set the damage needed to use this move to 10Hp, instead of 15Hp?--GunFox13 20:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- 10 hp sounds good. And yeah, it should sound painful. It makes the brains more tasty. --PdeqTalk* 02:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- It's supposed to sound painful!!! It's an attack! And, this gives me a good idea for a zombie heashot- as seen previously in my "Headshot n' Brain Rot" suggestion. BoboTalkClown 16:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
How about the idea I put in the above "Pick up Rubble" section; basically a very high encumbrance one shot weapon with high damge / moderate hit rate, that zombies can "search" for by using "ransack" in a ruined building. 
Swiers 17:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I like my flavor better, but your idea might have merit as a separate skill in addition to this one. Imagine a zombie having 4 options of attacks. It'd be twice as fun. --PdeqTalk* 06:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Enough, please. Until the VB case is decided, it does no harm to leave it as is. Nalikill TALK E! W! M! USAI 23:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
