PandaMattMatt Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Those last two sound like skills not items. What exactly are you buying that allows you to set off consumables as a free action? Even the description reads like a skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toroi21 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Spoiler Not gonna lie, i completely forgot about this. According to the original critique, Tony said it could be an interesting bit of design space, trying to make action economy more smooth with consumables, which is exactly what i was trying to accomplish here. Fluff-tistically, I was thinking small compartments in your armor... possibly from the forearms that holds two bombs of choice. You open it up quickly and throw it to make your evasion much better. Mechanically, using consumables takes up an entire phase, i wanted to make turn economy slightly better for consumables. Now that i'm reading this out loud, i feel like it's more of a free mainphase action than a free setup phase action, but fluff-wise, but it still seems decent all the same. (I changed it from a free set-up to a free main phase) *Note I'm bad with pricing these sorts of things, so I'm open to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMattMatt Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Sure, but again, what are you buying? You just say "Smokescreen", a smokescreen is caused by a smoke bomb, so how is the aftermath of a consumable going to make you use the consumable more smoothly? So what makes your smokebombs/flash bangs go off faster? This still feels/sounds like a skill right now. There is nothing wrong with the idea, so I'm not arguing Tony's critiques, just... trying to parse out item from skill.

Toroi21 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I see. The "skill-like" armor attribute has been editted so that it reads more like an attribute. Mini-air cannons propel these smokebombs and flashbangs to their targets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almondsAndRain Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Moving these to dead, as I mentioned via PM. I believe the effects are fine, but feel the costs may be off. If you want to revisit these in the future, we can handle it all then, so feel free to reach out to me about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
