Runners: Ability to spit acid.

Post by Ogard » 02 Sep 2016, 19:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): As stated from the wiki: "Runners, as their name implies, are fast and agile, and can spit acid from their mouths." and "Runners, being weaker and generally fewer in number than other Xenomorph types, utilize stealth in their attacks, and have been known to take advantage of their ability to spit acid some distance,"

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): I believe that runners at the moment should at the moment be buffed, as they can't do much on their own (even though they should be used in pack tactics), however a minor buff like this would help them out slightly. It also helps out with the role as runners being more so known as scouts and solo operators instead of just front line fighters.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Runners with acid can also help support the hunters and other warrior castes on the front line by spitting acid, as they aren't exactly the most ideal caste for running into the fray, even though there is spitters and other ranged caste. Perhaps the runners could be given a slightly weaker version of the spitter's acid even though it is already, weakish if used incorrectly.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I have no idea, perhaps you could give the runner a toned down version of the young spitter's acid spit.
