What are you talking about?!

[Jimmy]

I suspect she's talking about:

Spoiler: Massive spoiler.

Spoiler: No, seriously. It's big.

Spoiler: I'm not fibbing.

Spoiler: Oh, fine.

Spoiler: You can't even find it in the game through normal means anyway.

The ninth (hidden) Psychic power, "Blood". Do "summon psyweap9".

[Princess Viscra Maelstrom]

Spoiler: Spoiler

Yes, that's what I was talking about.

Spoiler: Another spoiler

But what do you mean by "not through normal means"? I could buy it in the menu.

[ChronoSeth]

Spoiler: Don't bother reading if you didn't read above

I found that ages ago in the Decorate script... but never actually used it.

[Ryan Cordell]

Spoiler: HALABALOOGIE!

Yes you can find it by normal means. All it takes is just going right.
As well as maxing everything..

[KILLER2]

But what does this blood even do?It seems to upgrade your starting psychic power a little bit,but it doesn't sound worth all the fuss anyway...I mean,cmon,it's just a tad more damage and making the shots rip through the enemy.

[Ryan Cordell]

Plus it seeks targets, AFAIK.

[Xaser]

Have you tried using it on a crowd? Quite the pleaser, that.

[Princess Viscra Maelstrom]

It's VERY useful, I can assure you of that. Try it overcharged, you can take out whole crowds easily with it, plus it uses the same amount of Psychic power as it did before, so you can use it alot.
Btw Xaser, have you reconsidered giving Gravity the ability to attract Blood Money?

[Xaser]

That's not possible, at least not without obscene amounts of hacking. Gravity 3 has been much improved, though, for those willing to upgrade.

Regarding Fire from earlier: Yes, it's really powerful, but it has the potential to harm the player as well. Bit of a tradeoff, there.

I'm considering increasing Plasma's damage radius a bit in higher levels, too. I've noticed it's a bit underwhelming when compared to, say, Dark.

[XutaWoo]

One thing you could do with plasma is, at the highest level, making it look for targets. Not a great distance, though, just with a distance parameter of one or so so it'll swerve to hit enemies it grazed.

It could just be my imagination, but I could swear the plasma already does that, even at low levels.

Plasma currently only uses the Heretic method of homing: it will only home in on targets that the player specifically aimed at prior to firing. However, ZDoom does also have Screenseeker and other methods (see ww-style's Swarmers) that could be used for the level 3 Plasma.

Also...I find it pretty insulting that you can spend all the time to whittle down a Baron's HP with only your starting pistols and only end up getting 25 BM from it.

[Princess Viscra Maelstrom]

Whoa, Xaser, I found two WAV files in the wad named DSITMARM. I assume that was a miss?
