Close Quarters Penalty

Ranged units suffer penalties to damage etc. while inside the attack range of an enemy melee unit. A damage penalty also applies when firing at other ranged units within 3m (touch range). Neither penalty applies if the attacker is sneaking or invisible.

Norbyte's Script Extender[github.com] is required.

Inspired by the CQB module from Vanilla Plus, by Lux.

Pairs well with Opportunity Strikes (Opportunist rework).

• The debuff while within enemy melee range is called "Threatened", and applies -35% damage, -10% accuracy, and -10% crit chance.
• Position checking happens roughly every 0.5m, so there might be a bit of "stickiness" when it comes to the "Threatened" debuff being applied or unapplied. If you want to force it to update, have your character prepare a skill and then cancel it.
• There is no debuff for being close to enemy ranged units; the penalty only occurs if you shoot at them, and applies -35% overall damage.
• The attack range of fists and daggers is so short, enemy assassins are not likely to trigger the penalty. In the future I might increase the range check for these weapons specifically.

• At this time, I'm unsure how it interacts with LaughingLeader's Weapon Expansion mod. But I suspect that the new firearms won't be affected by the close quarters penalty yet.

• Lux - This mod was directly inspired by his CQB module (Vanilla Plus)
