Official Traitor Items Discussion Thread (Wonk)

[I-Sett]

Faraday Suit.

I figured I'd suggest this as a traitor item, because I think the idea could be neat even though it's impractical to some extent.

Basically, an armor that works the same as rubber gloves, but adds resistance to stun guns and stunsticks.

They can still shoot you with bullets and beat you with the stick, but you can't be stunned except from brute damage.

Perhaps it could be better off as a craftable item, but perhaps not.

I've thought about this one as well, and I think it's been suggested before and I love it.
Right now tasers are just ridiculously powerful against all but the luckiest traitors (stim pack, artistic toolbox wielders).
I wouldn't want to take away too much of that power. But for the clever and crafty traitor who's spent time making himself a faraday suit, a lucky taser shot shouldn't just spell his automatic death with a 3 minute stun time.

Not that the suit shouldn't have a significant downside: a high chance that an electrical discharge such as from a shocked door (without gloves on), stun baton, taser, AI stun turret, will cause the wearer to spontaneously burst into flames.
I think the chance of death by conflagration balances nicely against the instant stun.

I'm thinking that this should be a crafted item with a degree of complexity higher than an electric chair, requiring some mix of easy and more difficult to acquire items. Perhaps something like:
-20x Cables
-Wire cutters
-insulated gloves
-Helmet (for the wires to be added to)
-Armor (also as a base)
-Robot arms right/left (same reason)
-Galoshes (these might be rubber, right?)

Tried to make a mix that requires access to a number of different levels/areas of access.
