Swappable Dinosaur Abilities

[fervent frost]

Before spawning, you can choose what special ability your dinosaur has!

Almost like swapping support out for humans!

Like Tyrant Roar Buffs being able to buff other things (like Bullet Resistance or Explosive Resistance)

Or even an ability swap for Tupa, so that instead of a divebomb, you do a corkscrew that launches you forward like a drill, going straight through several humans (can not turn during attack)

Lmk your guys’ thoughts on this!

TLDR; Essentially something like the Monster Hunter Switch-Skills but for Dinosaurs

Sounds confusing to not know exactly what a dinosaur can and can't do when fighting it

[fervent frost]

Expect the unexpected :)

Humans have all these tools to use that dinosaurs can’t always suspect, so why not balance it out?
Both sides now have an ace up their sleeve :)

But it does have you sacrifice one ability for another, leaving you vulnerable in that aspect, but stronger in another

you can see what weapon humans are holding

they all sound different too, so most of the time when you're fighting a human you know what they have beforehand

[fervent frost]

I’m pretty sure you don’t see what their support weapon/item is before hand though

[pearl breach]

i mean if you look carefully you can, but yeah rarely in combat do you actually notice
but there's only a few cases where that makes a huge difference

also i'm in favour of slower swapping animations to make that more bearable but eh i know that's unpopular

I think it would be an interesting idea, but a bit hard to implement
