Suggestion description
SKILL: Well-Preserved Brain
It is curiously easy to find an injection point for Revivification Syringes on this Zombie, due to a remarkably well-preserved brain.
Prerequisities: Identical to Brain Rot, although Memories of Life is thematically appropriate.
Location in Skill tree: Same place as Brain Rot
How it's activated: By someone else using a Revivification Syringe on the player, this skill reduces the number of AP required for the Revive to 5AP. This trait can be detected by a DNA scanner in the same manner as Brain Rot. Allowing Scent Death to detect a "sickly sweet" scent from the character is thematically appropriate.
Comments: This is the counter-point to Brain Rot. There are a large number of lvl 41 survivors with more than enough XP to buy Brain Rot, who are being targeted "for not having the guts to take that last step." Obviously, this skill is like Brain Rot in that it represents an irrevocable decision in how the character is played and perceived by the world (Malton) around them. Also, and this should go without saying, a character with brain-rot should not be permitted to purchase this skill, nor should a character with this skill be permitted to purchase Brain Rot.
So why include the skill at all? The game doesn't appear to have any other exclusionary skills. Well, actually it does. Characters with construction lose their ability to use lead pipes to create simple barricades. And, one of the "problems" with the long since implemented 10AP revive is that while it dramatically reduced the abusive "Combat Revive" tactic, it also reduced the rate at which the Revivification Syringe was used for it's intended purpose. Thus, I submit this skill as a suggestion in the hopes that we can redress that issue. Now, people with this skill are still going to be singled out for having it, but so are "rotters".
