Thread: poison+disease=incap
I was dueling someone and poisoned and diseased him, he quickly eneded the duel after that. I though he would have been ok which is why i didnt heal him, but we were sitting ther and i dont know if both ticked at once or what, but he just plopped over incapped. I havent been able to test it out anymore, hard to find volunteers, but is this supose to happen?
After further research, this appears to be due to the fact that wounds now cause damage as well (the top gets blackened and thehealthy partgets shortened as well). Diseases will stop +1 as they are supposed to, but if the target already has existing damage (from poisons or just regular combat), the disease will tick and if they don't have enough HAM, they get incapped. Probably not intended, but for now, enjoy the fact that you can still incap people from a distance (or after you have cloned).
The sme thing happens with commando flamethrower dot, btw.
"Did he have any food or spice buffs (or powerboost for that matter)? Those would incap them when they where off if he was at +1."
Actually they fixed this. Smugglers are happy to report that spice downers do not incap anymore as of that last patch =P.
