horseshoes, except with clothes - CaptainBravo - 03-11-2013
if you toss some article of clothing(or just an item that fits a slot) at someone and that slot isn't filled for their character, maybe there could be a chance of it draping over their body/eyes/head/wherever depending on what item it is. example: throw the clown mask at someone and have it stick to their unoccupied mask slot.
applications:
toss VR goggles at someone and maybe trap them in VR for a few seconds while you beat them with your e-saber.
force the detective to play CSI: Miami.
toss sunglasses at your friend in a scuffle to protect him from that jerk with a flash.
toss a spacesuit at someone to slow them down a bit.
toss a straightjacket at someone to slow them down a LOT.
toss a lit syndicool at someone and maybe it lands in their mouth before it explodes.

How the fuck does throwing a space suit or straight jacket at someone magically envelop them in it? Also that would be pretty awful all the same.

I think it'd be best off if it was mask/hat/glasses-only rather than having some sort of magical ability to throw a space suit onto someone.
That being said, I actually really like the idea as long as it's limited to the above; the idea of tossing lit Swedium-laced cigarettes at people sounds great.

Im not sure if Byond even registers what direction people face, so you can hit someone behind the head with a cigarette and it magically lands in his mouth.
That and the idea that someone can be given a toxins laced cigarette just by standing still because Pubbie Joe thought it would be funny to throw toxins at people sounds awful
Re: horseshoes, except with clothes - Weavel - 03-11-2013
By that logic you shouldn't be able to throw basketballs and have dudes catch them, and should have to take off your belted internals before putting on a suit, etc.
Please don't shit on what could be fun because someone could use it for something bad; you could just as easilly have an explosive tomato or george melons thrown and do damage, just like the cigarette, and Pubbie Joe would be just as banned.

I doubt you could throw a straight jacket over someone, but catching a cigar with your teeth would be cool.

If stuff is going to do stuff when thrown, you should put a catch intent that makes you move at half speed, but there's a chance you catch small items thrown at you.
And even that's iffy.
