Traitor item: Intra-Dimensional Tether
Cost: 4-5 Telerystals.
Obtainable by: Scientists/RD.
Its basically like telekinesis in a sense, select an item to be tethered. hide it somewhere while holding the Tether, then walk around ready to summon that item without an obvious sprite. limited uses.
The tether can be disguised as a different item by scanning them. I would love to see a scientist walk in security and then.. "The pen transforms into a Pipe Bomb! holy shit!"
Just an idea

Traitor Item: Martial Arts Implant
cost: I dunno, a bunch
jobs: everyone I guess
The syndicate has scanned the brain of an ancient kung fu master and put his vast store of fighting skill and knowledge into this handy brain implant. With this thing in you you become a master of hand to hand combat. Disarming someone pulls the weapon out of their hands and crushes it into scrap, and if they don't have a weapon knocks them on their ass 100% of the time. Punches knock off people's headgear and if someone has no headgear it knocks them the fuck out. Strangling someone snaps their neck and kills them. On a long cooldown you can perform the legendary exploding heart technique and send someone into cardiac arrest with a hit to their chest if they aren't wearing armour(and they won't be very happy even if they are wearing it). And anyone hitting you with a melee weapon when you're standing up and not stunned misses.
Unfortunately, with amazing punching skill comes downsides. You're incapable of using any weapons. Anything capable of causing damage will be snapped in half and discarded when you pick it up. The implant also has a few side effects. The kung fu master didn't speak English, and now neither do you. You are no longer capable of understanding or being understood by anyone else(unless they also have the implant and you and some other traitors are doing some kind of kung fu fighting team gimmick)
Also you are still vulnerable to guns and being incapable of using any yourself puts you at a disadvantage when people start shooting at you.

the cloak turns into something it should be (an item for stealth and hiding, lets you sneak around or go incognito when people are looking for you after a murder) instead of being something it shouldn't be (basically a shield that can make you not only invulnerable but literally untouchable by everything except well aimed tasers/lasers and glass shards)

I like the idea of beating everyone shitless with mixed martial arts. But it would need balanced, such as having to wear a gi so that folks know you are a one-hit murder machine monk. (+ lots of telecrystals)

Dude running around the station spouting Japanese with a shirt tied around his head snapping peoples' necks, pretty horrifying. He should also make 60s/70s era fighting movies' noises when you punch/disarm. And while moving around the person should do emotes like "does a somersault" or "does a quick handstand". Very obvious, but very dangerous.Quote:Strangling someone snaps their neck and kills them.Wait what.

We could have a few "Martial Arts Training" options for traitors. Adds a few special moves (like macho man, but not nearly as OP) that one can use in melee as well as giving you a chance to block. Perhaps this training could be acquired by ordinary crew as well, but at great cost and time.
This would obviously cost lots of telecrystals, but no one-hit kills.
That said, a Karate Clown flipping Security goons over his head while kicking them in the face repeatedly would be fucking hilarious.
The highest-end and ridiculously OP stuff should require some kind of special clothing, but the entire point of martial arts in an ingame context would be the ability to disable and cause harm without running around with an energy sword. Making the abilities more obvious than said energy sword would defeat the purpose of the addition unless they were more powerful than that sword as well. The latter would probably be unbalanced because of the lack of the ability to disarm.

The Derringer: The MD's Unlikely Assistant.
Here's a small idea for boosting the derringer, but in a strange way that only really effects medical doctors.
Have it so it can be reloaded with the casings. Y'know, the casings that are removed after surgery. That would beef it up quite a bit, and make it VERY useful for a MD

Traitor scissors/razor (Cut people's hair until there is literally nothing left of the person's head) or traitor dye bottle (Melt somebody's head off) for assistant only. Only useable on barber chair(?).

Make it a martial arts uniform/gi/whatever
That or a ninja costume.
Mostly because then you can go run into the warehouse next to QM, put the mask on and claim that you are TOO NINJA, and can't be defeated.
Also because if you have two traitors who spawn it they can yell out DOUBLE DRAGON and punch dudes.
