I have a monster of an idea...

[Guest Tagart 666]

I've got an idea for the monsters in Doom3, what if they had one or two killing atacks when fighting hand to hand. Imagine you walk into a room with one Baron, you have the shotgun, when you shoot (or only when the Baron is in pain) it has a 25% chance of trying a killing atack on you, mabee it would reach way back and do a huge haymaker on you, doing 90% to 99% off your health.

U have to have a little balance between making the game challenging and fun at the same time, and if every time I came apon a situation like that I think that would be quiet fustrating not just for me but any other player seeing as if u;r playing doom u'r gonna have hordes of enemies and a 90% hit would be way to unfair to any player except maybe if u were playing nightmare.

A good concept but should be restricted to higher level monsters (unlike zombies, imps, demons, lost soul, etc.) and restricted to melee combat. A cacodemon could try to digest you if it gets a few successful bites (shut their big fat mouth). A cyberdemon could easily rip you in half if it got ahold of you (my, they have strong arms!). An Archvile could turn you into a rabbit or something (gee, I wonder if the squered rabbit was actually a marine once?). The baron could try to powerup a super fireball if you're stuck in a hallway and can't evade (ok it's not melee but still an ender, upwards of 150 damage).
