I'd like a pony to.I'm saying add a chainsaw instead of fire axe, just a flavor issue
A Pony.
Nah, I want a pogo stick, or a parachute. Yes a parachute is the bomb:
It gives you a 5% chance of surviving jumping out of a window from a tall building. Would be so fucking awesome.
As to the chainsaw, I always thought it would be cool to have one too, but it would have to work differently. think for a second, it is run on fuel, not a permanently sharpened blade.
Perhaps a Chainsaw uses up a fuel can, and you get a random amount of hacks with it before you run out, perhaps anywhere between 1 and 10. It does 4 points of damage per hit as a melee weapon, but also has the interesting option of being able to be used by a zombie, with the nasty side effect that there is a chance that the zombie, not being too skilled with weapons, will hit themselves instead. This gives zombie players something cool as well as survivors, because it just simply rocks hacking someone with a chainsaw when you are undead.
My personal item I'd love to see (so as to give Museums a use!) is a Suit of Armour.
Melee attack's from hand held weapons do 1 point less of damage when they strike you. Non-melee held weapons are unaffected as a punch, grab or bite can be directed at the vulnerable joints/straps of the arnour much more easily. This is lso a game balance issue. However, due to the excessive weight of the armour, all movement actions use up twice the AP, so a surviver in Armour would move at 2 AP, a standard zombie Without Lurching Gait would move at 4AP, whilst a zombie with lurching gait would move at 2AP per movement. As an addition, if you are wearing a Suit of Armour, you cannot also wear a flak jacket. This makes you choose whether to prtect yourself against guns or hand weapons. Look at it from thepoint of view that a suit of armour fits to your body with little to no clothing apart from a brief tunic underneath. As to strapping a jacket across your armour, look at it from the point of view that it wouldn't cover enough of the armour as well, and possibly restrict movement.
So, in summary, A Suit of Armour, found at Museums:
Melee attack's from hand held weapons do 1 point less of damage when they strike you. However, due to the excessive weight of the armour, all movement actions use up twice the AP to carry out. As an addition, if you are wearing a Suit of Armour, you cannot also wear a flak jacket, and vice versa.
So What do you guys think of that?
