Human Perk- Determination

[strong orbit]

Taken from TG, but modified.

INTRO: *”Humans, obviously, are the most dominant of every race and creed in the galaxy. Why? Well some attribute it to a reagent found in their body, known as “Epinephrine”, aka “Adrenaline.” This reagent is naturally released by the body when in panic, but the Humans get very interesting when under its effects. Rumors of humans killing dozens of warriors in battle with only one arm, a mother colonist lifting 500 pounds to save her child crushed under rock… these tales have some validity to them. Scientists have even named the condition that humans undergo when releasing such high amounts of Adrenaline…

…We call it Determination.”*
-Uriah Foster, Lead Researcher at New Harvard University.

PERK DESCRIPTION:
(+) If you take lethal damage, you will gain 5 extra points of health that can only be effected by Oxygen or Blood Damage. This lasts for 10 seconds.
(-) At the end of 30 seconds you will instantly collapse, Dead.
(-) You take heart damage when this happens.

sooo in exchange for not having a crit state you have a 10 second "fuck you" period where you can do whatever
(as long as you don't bleed out)

[strong orbit]

Sort of like TG except not lame

Also the best thing you can do with this is run away

[arctic fulcrum]

bso gets shot has a heart attack and dies

[strong orbit]

BSO gets a Determination Inhibitor, only use in emergencies

[ashen flame]

isn't this the berserker heart but for free

Add „shaking“ during the 10 second rush due to the high amount of adrenalin. The shaking causes you to be unable to aim straight at all making guns almost unusable during that time. Running or melee would still be valid

[civic shuttle]

Surely bounty this

[opaque hull]

why do goob players try to make "the basic race" not basic for some fucking reason

[wraith glen]

forgot the mald bounty tag award

[strong orbit]

Content

[civic shuttle]

Idk if you want humans to be basic race than have them have no buffs at all

Currently they have content but not good content

[naive birch]

Wait wouldn't this keep humans from gibbing from like ANY explosion considering it triggers on lethal damage

[jade jetty]

I dont know how large explosions function but if it deals all the damage in one tick, then the lethal damage still gets applied normaly and if that damage is high enough, it would also gib

[jade jetty]

Another funny idea for human determination would be to make it an ability to activate. Once activated you gain 5 seconds of additional speed and then get hard stunned for like 10 seconds. (Basicly TEMU sandivistan that is very shitty if you really are getting hunted) once activated you can not deactivate it and the stun is inevitable. It would give humans something unique that might help out but if you are running from sec or are hunted by an antag…it very well rather limits your chance of escape than increase it.

[opaque hull]

another funny idea is

[naive birch]

You could always just make humans slightly better at everything. Like better dragging speed, an extra 5 health to crit, getting injected with 4-5u of epinephrine upon reaching 10 damage to crit, takes just a little bit longer to start suffocating, and leave their increased doafters alone

[civic shuttle]

That would make them objectively the best species their supposed to be a middle ground with no downsides or upsides

[minor parrot]

My face when no downsides

[strong orbit]

Inevitable death if you use it

[bright rover]

they already sprint faster/for longer and have 10% faster interaction speed which includes reloading and using jaws disarming nukes ect

[fiery elm]

Because the basic race is a bad concept

[wintry forge]

elaborate.

Boring means boring means boring means boring. And if you want boring then play maintenence drone.

[bright rover]

The most played race as of now is human
Evidently people do not find it boring
