New Traitor Item - "Trick Syndicate Playing Cards"

[Anderbergst]

An improved syndicate playing cards that has random effects when thrown at someone. Only available to the clown, mime, librarian, and bartender. There are 20 random effects.

1. Teleports someone randomly
2. Produces smoke
3. Deals 30 brute damage
4. Deals 30 burn damage
5. Sets the surrounding on fire
6. Causes time to stop and it stops time for everyone near the affected area
7. Shocks you and deals 20 burn damage/ if u have insulated then you are immune to this.
8. Powerfist effect
9. It explodes like the plasma stunprod explosion without the fire
10. stuns for 6 seconds
11. turns into a feral cat
12. it just vanishes and does nothing at all
13. turns into a cookie for some reason
14. blinds you for a bit
15. deals 40 oxy damage
16. causes a flashbang effect
17. makes you sleep
18. makes you hallucinate
19. It freezes you
20. It creates emp

If you throw a card and it doesn't hit anyone then it will probably vanish most of the time.

The deck will have 54 cards so you can expect atleast 54 effects.

TC cost is 12.

If you have any suggestions or want me to change something then please tell me.

[Anderbergst]

Some card effects can also activate when not hitting a mob like time stop, flashbang and etc.

[SpankMasterson]

should be 20 TC, dis niggas strong, we can test it in play. besides that +1

[ghost]

set the price to ten and it should make for a mildly interesting gimmick item

+1

[Anderbergst]

the three of you should compromise

10 or 20 OH GOSH

or somewhere in the middle IDK

[Anderbergst]

feral cat is enough

[Anderbergst]

Okay so i finished it unless i made some mistakes that i did not see. Just need more code review.

[Anderbergst]

okay emp does not work like how i want so i gotta fix that.

[Anderbergst]

Tested it and everything works like intended.

[Anderbergst]

@McBawbaggings

Can i add this for the librarian and bartender too? since they do deal with cards and entertain people.

[Anderbergst]

Well i added it for the librarian and bartender too.

[Anderbergst]

Tested with gumner and popnotes.

It works properly and smoothly.

[gumner]

it runs pretty smoothly,also 13 tc is ok.

[Anderbergst]

So yea in our test, we concluded that it has the potential to be very powerful but can also fuck you over easily. It really just relies on RNG pretty much.

[tortellinitony]

I think anything above ten is fair, because then you can't buy it twice.

[JohnMcLaime]

I dont see a point in making it 10 or 12 tc, the only good effects it has are one which sleep/stun/fireball/fire. Other effects are garbage and relying on rng to get the good one isnt worth it, there is already a better item for 12 tc which puts people down in 1 hit. Which is also infinite and can dispose of targets easier, give this item more fun variable effects.

[Anderbergst]

going to wait for the heads for a final decision of the tc price.

[asskek]

i'd be 100% down for this if they're reuseable if not, too costly for too little usage +1

[Anderbergst]

I changed the fireball explosion to the the plasma stun prod explosion.

Also going to reduce TC to 12 but I will change it if the heads think of a better price.

[ghost]

yeah whatevs 12 tc works i just don't want two packs to be bought because of the sheer amount of cards

[JohnMcLaime]

Taser/ebow > boolshit rng cards. You generally will have to land multiple hits to get desired effect, 12 tc not worth for such limited list of uninteresting effects, especially when you can cuck yourself, also you rely on more rng after rolling rng roll for antag.. C4 + throwing stars or syndie cards is way better, in gimmicky terms too.

[ArcLumin]

Code looks good. Merging as it has okays
