Hey folks - I was told from the Discord that I should post on here for greater visibility
These are some ideas for T-Items that the Radio Show Host and Comms. Officer could buy since I was surprised they had none:
Record Flayer - This weapon has two uses based on intent.
Harm and Help use a buzzsaw like melee attack that deals brute, makes a mess, and can rarely remove limbs.
Disarm and Grab use a medium ranged attack that deals brute.
The Record Flayer must be loaded with any Record.
The more times a Record has been played over the Radio this round, the more damage that particular record will do.
When a record is shot in the ranged mode it has a chance to shatter and become useless if it hits a hard surface (like a wall or Borg).
Pinpoint Frequency Jammer - This item acts similar to a Solar Flare, however it has several notable differences.
It only affects one channel (that you pick). Custom channels cannot be picked.
You cannot use the same channel twice in a row.
When your channel is affected by this, you can see your outgoing messages, but not your incoming ones on that channel.
Mix Tape - This mix is literally fire, yo; playing this in the Tape Deck will play a random Tape's audio file. When the tape finishes, any radio headsets (worn or otherwise) have a chance (possibly scaled with player count), to cause the tile they are on, to catch fire.
Vocal Transmogrifyer - Looks identical to your default Headset, but when examined says "Has a strange looking microphone attached." When activated, this lets you select from all players on the starting manifest. For a short time, you can speak on any frequency using that person's name and respective radio icon. The person you select will be unable to see these messages.
Boom Box - Looks like an ordinary cardboard box. When opened will cause a deafaning/disorenting effect on anyone within range.
The boombox was originally gonna look like a stereo, but i dont think SS13 has those so...
Anyway these were more just musings from a car-ride home from work, but I'd love to see the Talk Show Host get some unique items given their spin of having total comms access.
