ive been thinking a little bit, and please hear me out.
a lot of the antags are working on powerlevels that are carryovers from the old days when a bonk on the noggin with an oxy tank could knock you out, fully blacked out, for like half a minute, during which you would be rapidly stripped down and hurled out an airlock. and they needed their high power level due to that. today's spacemen are just inherently a little wimpier. they need to land several successive blows to get a wizard knocked down, rather than pray for luck, and said wiz can sometimes keep casting from the floor.
personally, id prefer juicier improvised weapons options than nerfing antags, tho
