Soft-Critting nested Marines.

[Gnorse]

Just to be sure, is this allowed ?
I've seen plenty of xenos do it
Here's a scenario :
>be marine at full health
>spitter comes along
>tackle-spam + neuro-spam while dragging you to hive
>get hugged and nested, 100% healthy
>young runner (237) keeps slashing you until you get to soft crit
>Can't resist out of nest, but won't die to injury.

It's been making me produce insane amounts of salt that I just close my client sometimes.

I believe xenos can slash nested hosts as long as they're not infected? but infected, nested hosts is a big no no.
oh hey, its xeno rule 3: Do not harm nested hosts that are infected unless you are the Queen, within reason
Slashing nested hosts is still a really shitty thing imo.

Yup.

Nested (not infected) marines can be slashed.

Nested (infected) marines is forbidden unless you are Queen, yet, without a valid reason it can end bad.

I have been neuro'd before and then soaked with acid on the way back to the hive but never after being infected.

[Solarmare]

It's a thing you can do as a xeno, though I wouldn't recommend it as you're liable to just cause someone to die of internal bleeding before you pop.

Slashing you after you've been infected and nested is a direct break of the rules though, so just ahelp in that case.

[Ghodere]

If you break free, are you once again fair game for lethal combat?

[MedicInDisquise]

Depends on how you broke free. If you broke out, have a shotgun, and is killing xenos, nobody would complain if you got killed. Although you have to keep in mind that if you're nested and infected, you're probably already injured bad, and it's pretty easy for aliens to nonlethally keep you down.

I try to keep them as healthy as possible when nesting so many die pointlessly because of this shittyness. If they break free though and are healthy ill probably do a bit of damage to make them slower.
