Shoot Intent - Tombi - 02-28-2019
Been thinking about lethal guns (revolvers/shotguns) having a less lethal choice with "shoot to maim" with less damage but a % chance for status/stuns.
The way I see it shoot to maim would be aiming for someone's leg or arm.
Here's my thoughts on possible intents (square brackets are melee range attacks):
Help - safety [bash]
Disarm - shoot to maim [bash]
Grab - shoot to kill [holdup]
Harm - shoot to kill [point-blank]
Not sure how- if at all - this plays into non-lethal guns like tasers. Perhaps they stay the same?
Unless you wanted to add 'extra' effects like hitting someone in the leg slows them down more but drains less stamina. Might be overcomplicating things.

Yes, god yes. This would make guns SO much more robust.

Pistol whipping would be nice I guess?

Maim on arms to knock things out of the hands, and maim on legs to trip people. Both do little damage, but have a high success chance

I thought pistol whipping was a thing. Did it get removed?

I'm pretty sure Pistol Whipping is using a gun point blank on help intent.
I'm sure it's still in the game.

I do like the idea of guns not firing while in the help Intent. Kinda like the inverse of harm batoning yourself
