Game Mechanics
Poison
Instead of maxing out at a certain point and applying the damage instantly the max poison level is higher than usual. the more poison you have the faster the time between damage (this caps after a few hundred poison) and the more damage you take each time. you also loose poison faster since damage is based on poison lost. Basically the more poison you have the faster it processes
Bursting Weapons
At 1-hex all of the burst has a chance to hit the prime target; at one third of maximum range and beyond only one third of the burst does. The remaining rounds go left or right and the transition is smooth across distance, for example around two thirds of the burst has a chance to hit the prime target at one sixth of maximum range. This spread does not apply to 12 gauge and .223 ammo type weapons.
For each line failed hits are checked against the next nearest critter in the line until a target is hit or there are no targets in the line to check.
Burst damage is reduced to 90% of normal, after DT/DR calculations.
The maximum success chance is 90%, not 95% (to simulate the “streamlined roll” in PnP and balance things)
Bursts get a penalty of -2% to hit per hex from the target.
Miniguns are no longer “Accurate” and get “Rapid Fire”, a new weapon perk that halves the burst accuracy penalty.
Burst criticals no longer work different from other critical calculations, which gave bursts higher than average crits and accuracy. A master crit roll determines whether 50% of the bullets crit and what, if any, special effects from the table are applied. The remaining 50% of bullets check for critical damage only, individually and independent of the master roll.
One Hexing is still the most effective damage wise, but somewhat reduced from before. Short range attacks can be almost as devastating. Medium range attacks with good skill can land many more bullets on one target under this system, making them a decent choice. Long range attacks are most affected by the burst penalty and will scatter rounds on other targets. Miniguns in particularly keep to nearly 1-hex effectiveness for a good distance thanks to their new perk but no longer have an accuracy bonus at close range
Overdose system
Addictive chems add 50 + 3 x addiction chance overdose points when used. 10 overdose points are healed every time HP regen occurs. At 500 overdose and higher there is a chance of becoming Overdosed when using chems. Overdosed characters take damage over time; Overdosed can be healed with Doctor but this does not reduce overdose points. At 1000 overdose and higher there is a chance of becoming knocked out when using chems. At 1500 overdose and higher there is a chance of dying when using chems. Chem Resistant halves overdose points from addictive chems.
