Doom: The Text Adventure
raekuul:
Solid Shell and Solid Slug are both primarily single-target attacks designed to circumvent the Shotgun's inherent penalty against armor to some extent. There is a chance of catching more than one target with Solid Shell, but it's not designed to be used that way. The main benefit to both of the solid shots is that instead of up to five separate d5 rolls on damage (remember, armor is applied against each damage die), you get a d15 (with up to 3 additional d5's in Solid Shell's case).
This is quite different from how I envisioned it originally (which was basically a shotgun cone starting from the target instead of the shotgun), but it's a hell of a lot easier to do the math for and it actually makes more sense this way.
The grunt attacks you (16) and hits for (5+3) 8 damage.
You shoot the grunt for 3 damage.
