Examples:
Clown mask- You can cause people nearby you to hear honking which rasises your murderpoint resource
Lawyer suit- You can throw paper at people which causes 20 brute damage
Fedora- You can tip your fedora without gibbing
Flashlight- When it's on all other lights on the station turn off but you gain a damage bonus
Bible- Looking at you causes brain-damage
syringe- you can instant inject people but you have a mad scientist laugh
chainsaw- Basicly become a delimberator but can also remove organs
Now these may seem shitty (yes i know they are pretty shitty) you hopefully get the gist of what i want. Having the ablity to spend points to turn everyday objects into b-movie weapons/powers fits the theme that makes ss13 special
it seems like it would be a whole lot of work to code a unique effect for every single item anyone could use
seems simpler to give object classes a special ability. like all blunt weapons could have the same ability if chosen, all cutting weapons, all helmets, all hats, etc.
