[Drugs] Make buffout give HP from gained stats (how it was)
« on: September 19, 2014, 05:43:35 AM »

"Strength and Endurance gained from drugs will increase the character's Hitpoints"
Quoted from AoP Wiki

At the moment buffout does not add HP from gained strength and endurance. This is wrong for three reasons:

 - All the other class A drugs give full benefit: for example mentat will give full benefit of perception gain.
 - It says so on the wikipedia, and some people have made builds around buffout. This nerf seems unjustified and leads to my third point
 - Its another nerf for big gunner / non-aimed shooters.

Indeed, The big gunners are no stranger to the nerf stick. Here is a list of some big gunner nerfs:
Spoiler for Hiden:
Milkor MGL
        -increased AP cost from 70 to 75
        -increased grenade travel time from 15 to 35 (35ms per hex)
Milkor MGLS
        -increased AP cost from 70 to 75
        -increased grenade travel time from 15 to 30
        -decreased range from 60 to 55
 
MG42
        -decreased damage from 27-37 to 25-35
        -increased reload ap from 180 to 200

- Increased price of hightier BG and EW weapons (Minigun, RL, .50cals). (A RL will cost you allmost 3000 caps, and then theres rockets. Coming to ZC in full big gun + RL gear will cost you nearly 5k caps.

- Increased 40mm grenade box price from 40 to 100 caps.

Ammunition

40mm grenade
        -added DRmod of 15%

5,3mm AP (minigun round)
        -decreased DTmod from -100 to -90


Where is the love?

Since buffout give -3 luck its not a drug that aimed shooters will use. Its for big gunner who want to get as close as possible to 10 strength to reduce burst fire penalty.
At the moment the only benefit of buffout is to reduce this penalty, and add a measly 15% critical strenght, at the cost of 1 agility and 3 luck ... it doesen't make sense.

Please make buffout how it was!

bump and +1 to the suggestion

Or if you don't want it adding HP, maybe removing the -1ag to make it more usable for bg/tanks
