Ok, Deuterium Toss. Devs, this makes no sense. Deuterium is hydrogen with one neutron, making it twice as heavy as hydrogen (meaning it's at ~2 instead of ~1) It's a stable isotope, it's not radioactive. It can combined with oxygen to form "heavy water", which tastes just like water only has a slightly higher melting point and boiling point and other chemical properties are slightly different than normal water. There is "heavy water" in all of the water on Earth normally. Tossing deuterium is not a weapon, you'd have to put it in a ballon to throw it and that's not going to hurt anyone. Maybe a nuclear physicist could make a bomb out of it, but that's definately out of the realm of CM.

Again Devs, what are you going for with Thyroid Rupture and how would this actually be implemented in a weapon? Your thyroid is a gland located below your hyoid bone and your larynx, it secretes things, it doesn't take things up so it can't rupture by overfilling nor can it rupture in the way that the eardrum does. It also doesn't pump things under pressure like a blood vessel, so you can't increase the pressure to make it rupture. If you're going to rupture it, you'll have to rupture the individual cells in it by changing their osmolarity to one higher than that of the rest of the body so that it takes in water to lower its osmolarity. IF it starts at a sufficiently higher osmolarity than the rest of the body, it may take in enough water to rupture the cells making it up. To do this though, you would need to somehow get ions (Na+, Ca2+, K+, Cl- are the ones normally in the human body) or something else into the cells to increase the osmolarity, without getting these things in the rest of the body and then wait as the body tries to equalize the osmolarity. BUT the body can always pump the ions out of the cells to counteract the water entering in. It'd be much easier to just poison the person or just overload their entire body with potassium to put them into cardiac arrest. Plus, who's to say all species have thyroids and that it's not just a human thing?

So Pre-Reqs is only one line in Medic and Marksman now? Not ranged support or general healing?

(Guess they're trying to force us into Pistoleer or Smuggler. )

Correct. I was personally hoping for ranged support so we could have moretemplate flexibility, but oh well.

I do. I think it's reasonable to think these are rating about as high on the silliness scale as watching a dancer for 3 minutes would make your mind grow twice as large for two hours.

Go back to Chem 11 & 12 and re-do the courses. Until you are capable of adding positive feedback, or at least constructive critism, then you can sthu.

I do, and would have posted the same explanations myself.

Hell no I'm getting pistols! That'sCrazy! The whole point of a Combat medic was to do things at range! I'm not walking up to some rifleman to plink away with a pistol why trying to throw some dot at him. Put it back to ranged support and 2 medic lines like was stated in the documentation!
