## About The Pull Request This PR adds a new mechanic for Nightmare, which I've dubbed "critical strikes". If Nightmare stays in jaunt for 15 seconds, its light eater will get a red glow in the inventory, along with a balloon alert which says, "critical strike ready". Visually, it looks like this:  If Nightmare hits a mob with the light eater in this state, one of four things will happen: - If its a carbon that isn't a hulk, the carbon will be stunned for 1 second, dropping their items in the process - If its a cyborg, the cyborg will be stunned for 2 seconds (twice the health, twice the fear factor required) - If its a simple/basic mob or a hulk, the mob will take double damage from the strike (50 as opposed to 25) - If the target is dead, you'll note how you wasted the critical strike, but had fun doing it While the stun itself is not very long, it will cause crew to drop their held items and be unable to act for a short duration, which should be useful for ambushing lone wolves and causing more prepared crew to have to scramble to get their gear off the floor when caught. If the Nightmare uses the critical strike, it will go away and require Nightmare to stay in jaunt for 15 more seconds in order to regain it. Manifesting while your critical strike is recharging will also stop and reset the timer. ## Why It's Good For The Game Nightmare is simple, gory fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, Nightmare performs poorly in any scenario where someone has some basic gear, since it lacks the ability to use stun batons, has no armor, and has no stun resistance itself, which means how much a Nightmare can actually do tends to be very little. While some buff proposals seek to add complexity to playing the role, I think this one is clean and simple to use while effectively buffing their proficiency in 1v1 combat (perfect for an ambush playstyle), giving players a reason to be afraid of going up against or getting caught out by the Nightmare alone. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Nightmare's Light Eater can now stun targets under certain conditions. /🆑
