[Build Advice] Innate Attack: Toxic

Sunrunners_Fire · 06-01-2012, 07:48 PM

On consideration, I think I'm going with:

[Step 2]

Mnemi Toxins vs Terran Mammals
Fatigue Attack 1
Modifiers: Partial Dice (Only 1 Point), *0.25; Cosmic (Can purchase "Symptoms (Ecstasy)"), +50%; Cyclic (1 Second) (5 Cycles), +400%; Follow-Up (Sharp Teeth), +0%; Symptoms (Ecstasy; 1/2 FP), +200%; Symptoms (Euphoria; 1/3 HP), +90%; Accessibility (Terran Mammals), -20%; Blood Agent, -40%.

The intent is: Bite! If DR penetrated, then - If terran mammal, then - Take 1 damage to FP every second for 5 seconds. Upon taking (1/3 of target's FP) in damage, suffer Euphoria. Upon taking (1/2 of target's FP) in damage, suffer Ecstasy. Effects stick around until the target has recovered the lost FP. Assuming the target has 10 FP, one bite will result in both Euphoria and Ecstasy after 5 seconds until they recover the lost FP.

I'm wrapping the effects of their fluids and whatnot into a species perk that requires these innate attacks as prerequisites.

...

[Step 3]

Mnemi Toxins vs Weir Biochemistry
Fatigue Attack 1
Modifiers: Partial Dice (Only 1 Point), *0.25; Cosmic (Can purchase "Symptoms (Heart Attack)"), +50%; Cosmic (Can purchase "Symptoms (Paralysis)"), +50%; Cosmic (Can purchase "Symptoms (Seizures)"), +50%; Cyclic (1 Second) (5 Cycles), +400%; Follow-Up (Sharp Teeth), +0%; Symptoms (Heart Attack; 2/3 FP), +300%; Symptoms (Paralysis; 1/3 FP), +450%; Symptoms (Seizure; 1/2 FP), +200%; Accessibility (Weir Biochemistry), -5%; Blood Agent, -40%

The intent is: Bite! If DR is penetrated, then - If weir biochemistry, then - Take 1 damage to FP every second for 5 seconds. Upon taking (1/3 of target's FP) in damage, suffer Paralysis. Upon taking (1/2 of target's FP) in damage, suffer Seizure. Upon taking (2/3 of target's FP) in damage, suffer Heart Attack. Effects stick around until the target recovers the lost FP. Assuming the target has 10 FP, one bite will result in both Paralysis and Seizure in five seconds but won't result in a Heart Attack. Multiple bites will result in both a Heart Attack and 0 remaining FP (which has its' own set of effects as per normal).

...

Given that the males and neuters are ST 5 (and the females ST 6), the average Mnemi's sharp teeth aren't going to be penetrating much DR at 1d-5 cutting. Useful for eating, and useful when scaled appropriately for a SM-2 critter biting even smaller critters ... but not so useful vs even a lightly armored target unless they can bypass the armor somehow.

Comes out to a total of 38 points when using multiplicative modifiers, so its' not bad in that department. I may want to add something to increase the bite damage a tad though.

Maybe. :considers:
