This PR alters the HoS armour values slightly. \r\n\r\nOld Value/New Value\r\nHoS Old - melee = 40, bullet = 30, laser = 30\r\nHoS New- melee = 50, bullet = 50, laser = 40\r\n\r\nHoS Effective Health Change \r\n- Melee 166hp to 200 hp\r\n- bullet 142 hp to 200 hp\r\n- laser 142 hp to 166 hp\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nWhy am I proposing this?\r\n\r\nMy school of thought is that the HoS, and to a lesser degree the Warden, should be more armoured than their counterparts, to further distinguish them from other members of security. \r\n\r\nI've proposed the melee and bullet buff for the HoS for twofold. The melee to help fend of low level melee attacks from hostile NPCs or grey tiders. Whereas the bullet change helps defend slightly against projectile gun users (antagonists). This forces people to consider their strategy when confronting the HoS, as only the HoS and Captain, by default, have sufficient bullet defence to be of note.\r\n\r\nThe laser change is, when you examine the overall health change, a minor change. It emphasises how the HoS is weaker to laser based weaponry, which are far more common on station.\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nThis change won't affect certain antagonist strategies. Energy swords still have 35 armour penetration, meaning now the HoS armour will actually provide 15 melee defence, instead of no defence. Which means it'll take one extra hit to crit them. Also certain projectile weapons still have armour penetration as a benefit, helping negate to a extent the protection the armour offers.\r\n\r\nAlso there's armour durability which can, from what I was told, lower defence over time. But take that with a grain of salt.\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nThis is my proposal, I understand it may be controversial, and I fully accept that this likely won't be accepted and merged.\r\n\r\nSimply consider this a second platform to discuss the issue of armour for the more important members of security.\r\n\r\nAs usual with my PRs, this PR is not set in stone and is open to change.\r\n\r\nThank you for reading.\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\n🆑 Steelpoint\r\ntweak: The Head of Security armour has seen some improvements. The Head of Security's armour has  received extra padding and Kevlar layers to increase melee, laser and bullet protection.\r\n/🆑\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tgstation/tgstation/issues/comments/285826056","html_url":"https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/24827#issuecomment-285826056","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tgstation/tgstation/issues/24827","id":285826056,"user":{"login":"KorPhaeron","id":14340985,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/14340985?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron","html_url":"https://github.com/KorPhaeron","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/KorPhaeron/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-03-11T01:05:45Z","updated_at":"2017-03-11T01:05:45Z","body":"I'm still willing to entertain the concept of very limited shield generators though"}}
