- If a vital bodypart (head\/chest\/stomach) goes below 0, then it causes a knockout<\/li>\n
- A knockout is based on a timer countdown.\u00a0 The time is a total of all the characters damage, including bloodloss (head counts for double time, limbs count for half)<\/li>\n
- Once this timer counts down to 0, the character can get up again if his vital parts are still above -50<\/li>\n
- Vital bodyparts slowly degenerate when they are below 0 (unless bandaged).\u00a0 So once its below -50, you will die without medical attention.<\/li>\n
- Once a vital bodypart degenerates below the -50 point he will go into a coma and can’t wake up until all vitals are above 0 again.<\/li>\n
- If blood goes below 0, he will KO.\u00a0 However once the KO timer runs out and blood goes above 0 and he gets up again, the next KO point for bloodloss will be -25.\u00a0 This allows him to fight a bit more, gets him closer to risk of death, and prevents the “constantly getting up then going down again in one hit” problem.<\/li>\n
- So a character can get up and fight again with, say, -30 chest damage.\u00a0 He will go down again instantly if he is hit in the chest, and it will be worsening the whole time if he doesn’t get it bandaged<\/li>\n
- As before if a vital bodypart reaches -100 then it means death<\/li>\n
- If a non vital bodypart (eg an arm) goes below -100 then it will cause slow bloodloss until death.\u00a0 Eventually I will implement severance, so -100 will mean you lose the limb and will need a robotic replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The end result:\u00a0<\/em>
\nAfter a battle, some characters may die, some may lose limbs, some will go into prolonged comas, others will recover and heal themselves or die later.\u00a0 They never get stuck in a limbo state where they are unconscious forever.\u00a0 Battles are more interesting.<\/p>\nNew toughness stat:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- I said before that you reach a critical point of no return when your health goes below -50.\u00a0 That was a lie, the actual number is based on your toughness and can range from -10 to -80 if you are mega-tough.<\/li>\n
- Toughness stat is increased primarily by getting hurt.<\/li>\n
- Toughness has a huge XP bonus if you are fighting while critically wounded or crippled<\/li>\n
- You earn a huge toughness XP reward if you force your characters to get up and fight again while they are down and “Playing dead” so that the enemy leaves.\u00a0 ‘Cus that’s a tough thing to do.\u00a0 The bonus is also multiplied by how many of them there are.<\/li>\n
- Affects damage resistance instead of Melee Defence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
