## About The Pull Request ### Intoxication and Punching Being drunk juuuust enough allows you to land stronger punches and take punches a little more easily. However, being TOO drunk makes you WORSE at these things, and makes your unarmed accuracy an unarmed PENALTY. Don't get drunk if you can't hold your liquor. However, fighting drunk makes you really sick, so be careful as to not suddenly start vomiting everywhere. ### Drunken Brawler Bartenders are now drunken brawlers. They gain additional punching prowess if they're ever intoxicated, it does not matter how much nor do they ever suffer a penalty as a result of being TOO drunk. The more damage the bartender has taken, the stronger they hit back. (added by recommendation from WalterTruck) I have to mess the scaling on this more. ### Stagger Combo/Unarmed Combos The stagger combo is back, but significantly less stun heavy except on the extreme ends of unarmed upgrading. When your opponent has been sufficiently damaged enough, staggered and doesn't have any riot protection gear on, you can inflict additional status effects when you punch an opponent. The necessary value for this effect is: Half the target's Brute and Burn damage combined exceeds a value of: Limb accuracy + armor block (min. 40. max 200) While the thresholds are more deterministic, the effects are random. The better you are at punching, the better the effect, but the higher your targets armor, the weaker the effect. All effects are positive for the attacker and negative for the target. The dice roll is such; (a roll between -20 to 20) + limb accuracy - armor block | Stage/Value | Effect | | ------------- | ------------- | | Stage 1 (-Infinity to 0 | Staggered for 1 second | | Stage 2 (1 to 10) | Eye Blur for 5 seconds | | Stage 3 (11 to 30) | Eye Blur, Dizzying, Confusion for 5 seconds | | Stage 4 (31 to 40) | Blindness, Dizzying, Confusion for 5 seconds | | Stage 5 (41 to 45) | Knockdown for 4 seconds | | Stage 6 (46 to Infinity) | Knockdown for 4 seconds, 5 Brute with huge wound chance | Stages 5 and 6 are not possible to reach for roundstart humans who aren't intoxicated. It is almost impossible to get high effects against someone who is in full security gear as a roundstart human ### Minor Changes Any unarmed related thresholds or values that would use Stamina damage now use half of the total of Burn and Brute damage on the relevant individual. This affects punch accuracy, the threshold for getting a stagger combo, and the threshold for someone being more vulnerable to grabs. ## Why It's Good For The Game I just really wanted to add some drunken brawling/drunk fist style martial art stuff because I thought it would be fun, and bar brawls are where most people start fist fights. It's thematically entertaining. The bartender, by extension, should be pretty proficient at this kind of brawling. It also works out great when working with chefs to beat people up with their fists in their own, more unrefined style. The situation with the unarmed knockdown/stamina pr was kind of a mess, since at the time I was already going to take it out after discussing things with Walter and we were working out some alternatives together. But uh...well, it wasn't to be. Particularly, there was a lot of stuff in unarmed fighting that used Stamina damage that didn't actually get removed at all. So this cleans that up. I said I'd find a good alternative down the line to fill that gap, and this is it. For your run-of-the-mill fistfights, there are no random knockdowns. It's only when you are actually trying to brawl with a cybernetically enhanced human that this kind of thing starts to crop up. Or your opponent is a golem. Or you are both really drunk (and thus everyone starts vomiting because they're getting beaten up) The average assistant beating up another assistant is at best going to inflict some eye blurring and dizziness, assuming the fight even lasts that long. But this should be sufficient to create space to escape, or even meaningfully disable someone who might simply be invading your department. It is much less helpful against a more sufficiently geared opponent. The main reason for focusing on this is to give the average joe some kind of way for a heel turn in the event they're having to scuffle with departmental invaders or escape some determined opponent. It does not, however, allow them to manhandle a nuclear operative in an elite suit while our would-be hero is entirely butt-naked and drunk. Not that they shouldn't try, that's funny as hell. Thus, the effects chosen are more useful for escaping and befuddlement than necessarily stopping the fight outright. If you have improved arms, your arms are weapons and start to act like them, so you start seeing more significant results. It is also a nice thematic tie to unarmed's zany cousin; tackling, since the randomized effects are borrowing the logic form there, and it is cool to have those tied a bit closer. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Drunken fist fighting now has bonuses and penalties based on how intoxicated you are. Controlled liquor intake could make you a better brawler. Though you might vomit if you go too hard. add: Bartenders are now Drunken Brawlers. If they're drunk at all (no matter how drunk), they're stronger at fist fighting. add: Reintroduces the deterministic stagger combo. The effects of the combo are more varied, and based on attacker unarmed effectiveness and the defender's armor. Read the PR for more details. It's complicated. qol: Unarmed effects that would utilize stamina values now use a split of half brute, half burn to determine outcomes or for meeting thresholds. This affects; punch accuracy, stagger combo thresholds and grab vulnerability thresholds. /🆑
