Hold out
| Timestamp: | Zoift 07:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC) |
| Type: | Zombie Skill |
| Scope: | Mid/High-level Zombies |
| Description: | Hold out would be a skill under Feeding drag, with Tangling grasp as a prerequisite, and would be purchasable of 100XP.
The skill would allow a zombie that has successfully tangled a survivor to "Hold out" the survivor for one AP, with the effect that any other zombie in the same square would be able to attack the survivor with the tangling grasp bonus. Note: I’m trying to decide if it should effect all zombies, or just those with tangling grasp.
If I screw-up the format, I’m sorry. I’m new to this wiki business. |
Discussion Multiple Tangles. Unless you meant zombies WITHOUT Tangling Grasp getting the bonus (but that isn't a good idea).--Pesatyel 20:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- This suggestion would never get passed as is. Survivors would consider it unfair, perhaps rightly so, to be penalised this way. You could limit it so that the zombie holding would not be able to do anything else without breaking the hold, and that only the first attack by another zombie gets the bonus. Also, if the holding zombie is successfully attacked he loses his hold. You would also need a message that notifies both survivors and zombies that "So and so is tangled the clutches of a zombie.", and "so and so escapes from the clutches of a zombie." Presented in this way, it becomes a reasonable suggestion, but it would still get spammed because players will disagree with getting penalised for being AFK, even though this skill is in fact somewhat similar to feeding drag.--SporeSore 16:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
IMO you should just ditch the AP cost, and make a new "Grasp" skill that gives ANYBODY (survivor or zombie) a bonus when attacking the "grasped" character. The drawback would be, everybody gets a bonus when attacking the character who made the grab as well- neither one can move freely to defend themselves. But I think that was already suggested... research time. --Swiers 20:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
