New traitor item/craftable weapon: Shiv

[trexter555]

Basically it's a shiv that allows you to silently stab someone. It doesn't show up in the chat log and only shows up for the victim as a message that says 'You feel a sudden, sharp pain in your lower body!" It causes bleeding and maybe internal damage.  Costs around 3 TC and can be used three/two times with a sixty second cooldown inbetween. And you can also poison the tip by applying 5u of a reagent to it.

 

For the craftable version, it does less damage, has a chance to reveal the stabber, and is one use only. 

This would enable more stealthy strategies, and imo its balanced.

Interesting concept.

If memory serves this was suggested before... I honestly forget what came of it though. Sorry!

[DarkPyrolord]

I like the idea of it, seems like a fun traitor item or a one off bang up weapon.

Just bribe cargo to print you a scalpel. Duh.

We already have the carrot shiv, think you need to just apply a hatchet on carrot.

The only issue with the carrot shiv is that it's made of a carrot.

 

I'd much rather see new interesting non-lethal ways people can interact with each other. Sure, the combat can be fun, but it's very short-lived most of the time and stuns are already the #1 combat tool. On top of that, a shiv won't really help you do anything a stunprod and cuffs wouldn't.
