Summary

0004874: Brain "completely impaired" by syndrome, but creature can still move/fight

Description

Syndromes with IMPAIR_FUNCTION that completely impair the brain aren't immediately lethal; the affected creature can still move and fight for a short while (the same effect as having a broken spine) before suffocation.

Steps To Reproduce

Create or mod a creature for giving a syndrome impairing the brain like this:
[CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION:SEV:100:RESISTABLE:PROB:100:BP:BY_TYPE:THOUGHT:ALL:START:0:PEAK:30:END:1200]

For example modding a Giant Desert Scorpion to have:

[SYNDROME]

    [SYN_NAME:giant desert scorpion sting]

    [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

    [SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:SCORPION_DESERT_GIANT:ALL]

    [SYN_INJECTED]

    [CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION:SEV:100:RESISTABLE:PROB:100:BP:BY_TYPE:THOUGHT:ALL:START:0:PEAK:30:END:1200]

Then test it against a creature in the arena. The brain will be affected quickly, but death will only occur by suffocation.
