[Fixt] [0.9.080-PUBLIC#4130] Lust Weapons & Crit Bonus

[Theron]

Some Lust weapons* have a Crit Bonus, but as far as I can tell, Critical Hits do nothing for Lust weapons. Not even a notice when it happens. Am I missing something, or is Crit Bonus a waste of budget on Lust weapons?

*Heavy Slut Ray, Bimboleum Emitter, Royal Shard Bow, Advanced Slut Ray, Goovolver.

My Steele crits every other time with the Heavy Slut Ray - this renders the enemy immobile for one turn. That's why it's one of my favorite ranged weapons.

That's Stun Chance. It's an Aim* vs Physique check** and has nothing to do with Crits.

*For Ranged weapons. Melee is Physique vs Physique.
**Used to be flat 1-in-5(?), but it changed at some point.

I stand corrected.

For the slut ray, having a crit hit or relatively high damage will slightly affect the text, but I don't think it affects the actual damage values. I recall that it used to, but it might have changed after one of the revamps to combat balance--unless I'm misremembering. But yea, from what I can see, crit only doubles HP damage.

In that case, it would be nice if they were switched to Accuracy or something. They're not large but having a 'bonus' that does nothing feels kind of bad.

Good news everyone! I'm gonna let them have a 1.5x crit mult (normal is 2x)



I also improved the output so the slut ray texts show up in the same block.
