Nerfing Whips
« on: August 17, 2011, 08:31:12 am »

They penetrate armor and all that, which sucks. I would like to only make them at their most effective against unarmored target, and uneffective on armored targets. If that's not possible, how may I decrease their general attack? (preferably the first one)

IIRC, their damage is mostly due to their small contact area, and large velocity modifier.

I havn't tested this particular variation very extensively, but it seems to literally make them nerf bats in all but name.. open up item_weapon in your raws and replace the relavant line in the whip description.

Just lower the velocity or, alternatively, increase the contact area.
