I was curious if there are factors that effect how often the pounce prog occurs? I could be wildly wrong but it seems my past couple of characters who have fought Baer tatted folk have had different experiences in that sometimes I forget they're even tattooed as they never ever pounce...but other times it seems like they pounce three or four times in a row on a consistent enough basis to scare the crap out of me.

Replace pounce with deathblow and we've been having this same discussion for years.

Baer's tat fired against me for three Unspeaks in a single round.

How am I supposed to compete against that?

cats AND dogs living together!

It's a flat chance.

It's also a lower chance than I've ever seen speculated for it, FYI.

if (!strcmp(get_user_by_ip(target_ip_address), "isildur")) {
   pounce();
} else {
   // noop
}

   
  
   

...we use proper capitalization, so it'd be Isildur, not isildur.

He's an IMP now. Gotta represent.

if (!strcmp(get_user_by_ip(target_ip_address),
"Isildur")) {
   pounce();
} else {   
// noop
