From 3874e3164e8ca5e711fa35105cc9b572a06d7bf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: VMSolidus Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 12:59:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Tweak Skrell Strength (#22832) The conditioning skill was a little too harsh on Skrell, who suffered heavily from being the lightest and smallest species, which made them have extremely unfavorable interactions with mass and fireman carrying. This PR gives them a higher than normal mob strength modifier to offset their low mass, so that they can at least fireman carry a human without requiring the conditioning skill. This makes both standard and Axiori skrell start at a similar level as a human's limits for carrying before the Conditioning skill is considered. --- .../mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell.dm | 1 + .../carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell_subspecies.dm | 1 + html/changelogs/hellfirejag-tweak-skrell-strength.yml | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+) create mode 100644 html/changelogs/hellfirejag-tweak-skrell-strength.yml diff --git a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell.dm b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell.dm index d323dac430f..05b5a106a95 100644 --- a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell.dm +++ b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell.dm @@ -112,6 +112,7 @@ has_psionics = PSI_RANK_SENSITIVE character_creation_psi_points = 2 mass_modifier = REFERENCE_MASS_SKRELL / REFERENCE_MASS_HUMAN + mob_strength = 1.8 // Offset for very low mass. /datum/species/skrell/handle_trail(var/mob/living/carbon/human/H, var/turf/T) var/list/trail_info = ..() diff --git a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell_subspecies.dm b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell_subspecies.dm index a39b359485c..c252e0a2dfc 100644 --- a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell_subspecies.dm +++ b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species/station/skrell/skrell_subspecies.dm @@ -25,3 +25,4 @@ max_pulse = 140 // Species default 130 mass_modifier = REFERENCE_MASS_SKRELL_AXIORI / REFERENCE_MASS_HUMAN + mob_strength = 1.5 // Offset for very low mass. diff --git a/html/changelogs/hellfirejag-tweak-skrell-strength.yml b/html/changelogs/hellfirejag-tweak-skrell-strength.yml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a208d807ea1 --- /dev/null +++ b/html/changelogs/hellfirejag-tweak-skrell-strength.yml @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +author: Hellfirejag +delete-after: True +changes: + - balance: "Tweaked baseline strength modifiers for Skrell to allow them to fireman carry a human without requiring the Conditioning skill."
