This is good. This is the way I always thought it had worked anyway. |
|
Anyone have any thoughts on changing it to always take exactly one limb instead of having it be chance-based? I think that might be a better way of doing things. |
|
That is a good idea as well. |
|
Yeah, losing 3 limbs at once sucks. |
…abilities to compensate
|
Personally, I feel the issue of the spell is more the instant undodgeable/unmissable AoE stun, which makes it trivial to combo into magic missile + polymorph/cluwne |
|
Hmm, what would be a good solution to that issue? Perhaps adding a cast time to the spell? It would probably require buffs if that were to happen, though. |

I saw we go the iterative improvement route; let's merge this as is (since we are pretty unanimous this is an improvement) and spin up a new PR to problem solve the balance concern |

About the PR
This changes the ass_explosion proc to only roll to remove people's limbs if they have no ass.
This should mostly only affect the wizard spell.
Other places that use ass_explosion are butt-pipebombs, but those have only a 1% chance to delimb anyway, and the fartwaves caused by admins, but I don't care about admins. 🐸
Do note that, according to my knowledge of probabilities, the current code will have approximately a 25% chance to take off at least one limb, if the person is missing an arse. (Seeing as rathen's secret has a 7% delimb chance.)
Perhaps this value should be changed, or ass_explosion changed altogether to always remove exactly one limb if the person has no arse.
If you have an opinion, please comment here or on the forum thread!
Why's this needed?
There have been lots of complaints about Rathen's Secret recently.
I think that allowing people to reduce the potential damage to themselves by reattaching their butts before the spell gets used on them again provides a nice measure of counterplay, while still giving Rathen's Secret a good use as an AoE stun.
In addition, if people do not reattach their butts, I think that making it so there is a 100% chance to detach exactly 1 limb would also make it a more reliable spell for wizards to use, as opposed to the rng fiesta it is right now.
