Title: Wallwalking dretches should stick to humans.
Post by: TriedtoDestroyMetal on April 28, 2007, 09:15:43 pm: Hey folk,

I noticed that dretches stick to walls pretty well, but don't stick to humans. I think it would be more fun to get head bites, and more challenging to avoid dretches if they could walk up humans.

It's called a "basilisk".

Considering in real life (ok maybe not real life), the person would probably flail around to dislodge the dretch, a human with a dretch walking on them could jump or boost to shake them of. Another way to lose a clingy dretch might be to scrape them against a wall.

I've also thought that bsuits should be able to step on dretches and crush them. Perhaps these two features would balance?

Your idea would be completely unbalanced. Imagine the tk's that'd happen trying to get the dretch off your friend's back.

This has been suggested before except with basilisks and it was deemed unbalanced and un-thought-out.

all you have to do is get on a human and keep moving and hell die.

Flamer: "Huh? What backpack?"
Luci: "OMG ITS A ALIEN AHHHH," *charges luci to full*

Post by: Dracone on May 01, 2007, 12:02:30 pm: I have problems enough when I have wallwalk still on and I try to bite a human from the ground. I hate it when it attempts to wallwalk up the humie's legs. Plus, I'll be doing that, and it STILL won't bite the person, and I'm close enough to attempt to wallwalk on their legs?
