## About The Pull Request Brains now prioritize using one's arms if you're beating on someone you have grappled. Arms now have a 1.5x "pummeling multiplier" that applies to limb accuracy and damage (rounding down), which brings their damage profiles more in-line with legs (when they're being used to kick people) so as to retain the effectiveness of unarmed attacks against horizontal spacemen while grappling them. ## Why It's Good For The Game I thought it was kind of silly that you used your legs to kick people who are down even if you're holding them on the floor to beat them to death, so I thought about making it prioritize arms. And then I thought "but then we're kind of nerfing grabs in a punching-based 1v1 scenario because then you're just punching them and not using your legs to beat them to death", so I thought to alleviate this by introducing a pummel multiplier. *However*, at time of writing, this does apply to any punching attack when used against someone who's grabbed, so if you're punching a guy who your buddy has grabbed, your arms are doing kick-tier damage. This could probably be alleviated by making this boon only benefit the attacker if they are also the guy grabbing the other guy, but then again, if you're getting grabbed in a fistfight, you probably weren't making it out alive. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Spacemen (e.g. you, the reader) grappling a target now prioritize using their bare hands to beat their target to death if they're grappled, instead of contorting in weird ways to kick them (also, presumably, to death). balance: Spacemen have learned to Punch Good(er) against grappled targets, leading to kick-tier damage against standing grappled targets - even if they're not doing the grappling. balance: Strong-Arm implant users also benefit from the training of punching grappled people as well - as a treat, horizontal targets slam into the ground and break tiling for no additional damage, but a very visible sign of "oh god someone got pasted here". /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Hatterhat <Hatterhat@users.noreply.github.com>
