It feels like things are going to get a lot more polarized.  With thick skull, hammer and perception builds don't need LoC for not dropping dead, so they're going to go full guns or full hammer.  For will, you can't afford not having the intp, so they can't afford to go hammer or perception for a backup weapon.

I think you're a bit overestimating the importance of Neurology. It's far from being mandatory. Sure, it's nice to start a battle with some extra PSI, but after a turn or two, this advantage is gone as this feat does not modify your PSI regeneration.

Oh I was thinking that psi booster thing was also int.  Yeah I guess not.  But still it does pretty much make 5 int necessary for kickass mufflers :D

Edit: Ah I see, dex also has an immobilize removal.

Also just noticed this from the devlog:

"NPCs now use EMP grenades; you've been warned"

yikes

I want that NPC's AI can trow grenades to targets around a corner.
That will be amazing deal.

Haha guys, you're so easy to troll. It's just an April Fools joke!

Setting minimal AP cost to 4 is making it 4 times as bad and even Sid Meier/Obsidian balances things by 'just' doubling and halfing them.

Limiting Blitz MP conversion is not bad idea actually but 20 AP is way too low. 50 would not be excessive considering it's cooldown. It would give you extra turn every 10 turns. Now look at Commando perk -  it can potentially give you 'extra turn' every turn (if you use ARs, bursts and kill your target which is now much more likely).

'Fancy Footwork can no longer raise your movement points higher than twice your normal maximum'
Now that's actually a good idea since it does not punish you for having high base MP, prevents FF from giving crazy amounts of MP and keeps Blitz in check.
I hope this one wasn't a joke.

It's not a joke. While the numbers are subject to change in the future, pending testing and feedback, the limits are necessary to avoid the silly scenarios we previously had.

Wait is this pre or post lightning punches? I.e. 4 ap or 2?

Well it's 17 attack at 4 ap, so.. doesn't sound too far off anyways.  Stunlocking 8 people with cheap shots is kinda silly.

_3_ will be ok)

I think it's a hard limit of any ap cost)

17? oO 17x4=68? Sutnlocking 8 people? with 15% chance to incapacitate?
It's easier to throw a flashbang into the crowd =P

How about limiting Blitz AP gains to third of your normal maximum MP?

That way Blitz is kept in check and there's no need to touch low AP costs or Fancy Fotwork.

I didn't tweak the AP costs and FF just because of Blitz, they were a problem on their own as well.

Yeah adrenaline gives 70 ap, so you can get 17 shock fists in at 4 per round.  Given you can then run around a corner and not take any damage because of fancy footwork, doesn't that feel fair?  As far as stunlocking people with 1 ap fists, I bet hilf can tell you what that's like ;)

Hehe yeah i know it wasn't a joke. I was joking myself (:

I'm not sure.
Limiting Blitz like that would remove synergy of this feat and FF (if i understood You right) and synergies are good things to have.


Well, lower AP limit for attacks must be changed, attacking for 1 AP is silly. Making it 4 seems too high, however.

If You can attack for 1 AP You don't care about stunlocking at all :D
