I've noticed that at the moment there isn't really enough information about syndromes and their uses on the wiki so i thought we could start up a thread about it. I honestly wasn't sure if i should post here or in gameplay questions but i assumed modding would have more people with questions and answers. I'll start of with a few questions of my own.
First and proberbly the biggest question i have is simply, why can't i get my spitters to poison anything. The breath attacks are in Castes because i felt like adding breeding difficulties into the mix.

The other questions i have are mainly to do with information that i can't seem to find on the wiki or using the forum search. My questions are;
-Does anyone know what SEV you need to get the certain results out of an effect? For example i read on the somewhere on the wiki that if the SEV on coughing blood is low enough then they'll stop and cough but not leave blood.
-What functions can i use IMPAIR_FUNCTION to.. impair?
-How can i completely paralyze a creature without them soffocating?
