How would you do SPECIAL?

[Slaughter Manslaught]

Energy Weapons

What is the skill, exactly? Is shooting a laser pistol different in some way that a 10mm? Is shooting a laser gatling more similar to a plasma pistol than a minigun?

Energy Weapons have no recoil. Its not like firing a bullet outta a gun, you are firing a laser/plasma at your target. Maintenance is also diferent.

A point in Excellence raises all other stats by 2.

This post is great for so many reasons. Special Ed

I'd max out Excellence.

I'd max it out the first time through, then max it out again for more variety the second time through.

MOST EXCELLENT PERK

Congratulations gaijin you are most excellent indeed. Your energy weapons now fire hot deadly samurai swords. Other characters climax multiple times in your presence.

I noted maintenance, and the lack of recoil would make it easier and not an issue in an FPS where you actually have a manifestation of recoil to deal with.

NOT COOL ENOUGH

Like I mentioned in another thread, the best perk should be something like this:

PIERCING STARE - Some call it a curse, you treat is as a gift. Any aggressive NPC that you look at momentarily drops dead. You gain double experience.
