'''Stinger (Confusing Venom)''' is a [[Mutations#Physical Mutations|physical mutation]] that grants the player a {{favilink|Stinger}} that delivers [[Confused|confusing]] venom on a successful attack. | |||
The stinger functions as a [[Long Blade|Long Blade]]-class weapon, benefitting from any skills the player has within that tree. It has a flat 20% chance to attack in melee if it is not your primary weapon; if it is, it will attack 100% of the time, but will only apply it's venom 20% of the time. It's damage and penetration are based on mutation level; however, the stinger is only able to penetrate a single time, regardless of circumstance. | |||
Stinger (Confusing Venom) grants the player the Sting ability, allowing the player to make an attack with their stinger that will always hit and penetrate, ignoring stats like your own Accuracy and {{PV}}[[PV]], as well as the target's {{DV}}[[DV]] and {{AV}}[[AV]]. An attack made using this ability will always apply venom. | |||
When venom is applied, the target will become confused for a number of rounds based on mutation level, acting semi-randomly until the effect wears off. The target has a chance to make a [[Attributes#Toughness|Toughness]] [[Save|save]] against the confusion, the difficulty being based on mutation level. If this is successful, the target will "resist" the confusion. Creatures that lack a brain, such as robots and oozes, cannot be confused. | |||

Stinger (Confusing Venom) is a physical mutation that grants the player a 
stinger that delivers confusing venom on a successful attack.
The stinger functions as a Long Blade-class weapon, benefitting from any skills the player has within that tree. It has a flat 20% chance to attack in melee if it is not your primary weapon; if it is, it will attack 100% of the time, but will only apply it's venom 20% of the time. It's damage and penetration are based on mutation level; however, the stinger is only able to penetrate a single time, regardless of circumstance.
Stinger (Confusing Venom) grants the player the Sting ability, allowing the player to make an attack with their stinger that will always hit and penetrate, ignoring stats like your own Accuracy and PV, as well as the target's 
DV and 
AV. An attack made using this ability will always apply venom.
When venom is applied, the target will become confused for a number of rounds based on mutation level, acting semi-randomly until the effect wears off. The target has a chance to make a Toughness save against the confusion, the difficulty being based on mutation level. If this is successful, the target will "resist" the confusion. Creatures that lack a brain, such as robots and oozes, cannot be confused.
Formulas
The following formulas are used to determine penetration (rounded down), duration of confusion (rounded down), and save difficulty against confusion based on mutation level. Note that penetration cannot exceed 13, and the duration of confusion cannot exceed 2d3+1416-20 (Avg: 18) rounds.
| Penetration if Level ≥ 2 | ((Level - 2) / 3 + 4) + 4
|
|---|---|
| Duration if Level ≥ 3 | 2d3+(Level × 2 / 3 + 2 )
|
| Save Difficulty | 14 + Level × 2
|
If the mutation level is less than 2, penetration is 7, and if it's less than 3, duration is 2d3+24-8 (Avg: 6). Additionally, damage is not determined by a formula and instead is determined by meeting certain level thresholds.
