Summary0030056: Allergy grenade.
DescriptionMy notes:

Then I think a mild distraction grenade gets added which does AOE, and only grenade-users can use that. Sledge et al.
This then gives a much more muted effect from "distraction-capitalizing weapons," but what the math on that should be, I have not worked out.
To be useful, this would have to be a pretty wide grenade. Otherwise it's only useful when enemies are incredibly close together.

Fluffiest:

Right, so for the 200 HP or less unit, it's dead in two hits regardless. Status effects barely matter.

300 HP, you go from needing three shots to needing two shots.

400 HP, you deal 100 damage on the first shot, then 300 on the second because DISTRACTION and you kill, using half as much MP as just firing regular. So that's very powerful.
If DISTRACTION is only double damage rather than triple, it's...
Still 2 shots for the 200 HP teacake.
Still two shots for the 300 HP guy
Three shots for the 400 HP guy this time
Three shots for the rare 500 HP beefcake

--------------------

so, probably gives only a 1.5x bonus or something, and just gives that to everyone, rather than requiring a special gun to take advantage of it. Better name needed.

-----------------

New and Tasty: The detonation sends humanoid tooled allergens in all directions, the compound small enough to penetrate suits. even targets in full hazmat gear would develop swelling, rashes, weeping eyes
