Grues are fairly lackluster
Created by: kol1th
After having a bit of experience playing as one(grue), I feel like they could use some touching up. As-is, it's very difficult to distinguish between slightly lit and dark areas, which leads to you either being seen or just die to light.
-
Flashlights kind of just kill them. Perhaps a system where light sources would push them away, or something like a vampire's jaunt that teleports them to a dark area would be better.
-
They're very weak and have very little health overall. The perma-hulk kind of helps this, but the fact is they will just die to a few laser shots anyways. I'm not sure if they're weaker than regular humans, but they sure do feel like it.
-
Since their whole gimmick is about being in darkness, maybe give them a way to open/move around/force open maintenance doors. You just kinda get trapped in one area.
-
Cyborgs make them pointless.
Out of all of these issues, the light sources that can be thrown (Lanterns, flashlights) just feel really bad to be against. There's no real defense for it other than just running away.
Overall, it's a neat idea, but I feel like it needs some fleshing out if you want it to become something more than just a couple of powers on a hulk.
