Ah, I see. I can get on board with this. If the goal is to nerf monkey players, then yeah changing arm damage wouldn't be very effective. All stats related to the life cycle, stamina, and direct combat should stay the same. They do need a nerf, they are better in every way than humans with no real downsides. Counting as non-humans to the AI and not speaking English don't really count in my book.
Beepsky could auto-arrest monkeys he sees carrying items in their hands. Monkeys are not humans and can't own property, anything they're holding must have been theft. Or maybe he should arrest them anywhere outside of Medical, Science, or the Monkey Pen.
Monkeys could be bad at using computers/doors similar to how you mess up when brain damaged. But for monkeys it would be because they aren't as dexterous as humans.
A change to help genetecists deal with npc monkeys might be good, even though I do love watching them get beaten to tears in the monkey pen. There should be something to prevent the monkey horde aggro that happens if they see you look at one of their brethren the wrong way. Maybe a reagent that when ingested makes the monkeys recognize you as one of their own so they won't mob you if you grab one, or will attack someone who attacks you. Or better yet, I always thought the monkey costume on Cogmap2 should allow you to grab monkeys with impunity, that could do it.
Not sure if it was mentioned in this thread, but another change should be to fix the monkey-hulk sprite bug/exploit. It's rather rare to see now cause I think most people know it's bad manners, but it still sucks.
Also, Birb's idea that they should have to take a second to two to get on top/under a table is great. They could have to click the table with a free hand. Such a thing wouldn't be too hard to add to the npc monkey AI too I don't think. (Also, I really like giving the barrel of monkey's weapons. But their headbands always made me thing they are martial artist monkeys, they should get kung(/kong) fu styled weapons like nunchucks or those pole weapons, basically sort of weapon that Jackie Chan has or would ever used in a film.
