14.1 Weapons�

There are many weapons in doom (with color used for personal palette of player):�

Knife (gray). Attachment to the machine pistol. Does minimum damage, more on�
back attack.�

Machine Pistol (violet). One shot at a time. Has knife attachment for close combat.�

Shotgun (blue). One shot at a time. Much more powerful, wider target range.�
Heavy recoil.�

Automatic machine gun (green). Multiple-shots of pistol-level damage.�

Missile launcher (yellow). Shoots very damaging missiles. Large Recoil.�

Added in Episode 2:�

Dark Claw (black). Demon weapon that casts a dark cloud of tortured essence.�
Silent but deadly.�

Added in Episode 3:�

Probiectile (orange). Minimal damage, but gives readout on enemy.�

Added in Doom 4-6 are:�

Spray rifle (brown). Multiple shots in a 600 are. Powerful as shotgun, but spread�
out more. Shotgun recoil.�

BFG 2704 (red). Horrible hallway-scouring weapon. Damages user a bit. Awful�
recoil. BFG stands for "Big Fucking Gun." Safest use: back to wall, distant target.�

In the commercial game, we have the final, rare weapon:�

Unmaker (white). Demon-tech weapon that hurts pure demons a lot, demon-humans very little, tech demons some. Made of demon bones.�

Ammo is required for weapons, of course, so here it is!�

Bullets. Used by, pistol, shotgun (gamism), machine gun, spray rifle.�

Cells. Plasma Gun, BFG 2704.Grenades. Grenade launcher.�

Missiles. Missile Launcher.�

Killed humans. The Darkclaw and Unmaker feed on human souls. Killing�
possessed humans or hellslaves allows the weapons to feed.�

14.2 Useful Items�

There's a lot of useful stuff in Doom. For instance. we got yer healing:�

Stim-Pack. Provides small boost to health -- it keeps you going until you can get real�
help.�

Medikit. Provides good bonus to health.�

Soul sphere. Contains the life energy of a human soul (and thus, it is a 1-Up)!�
Could become another shape if this seems too wolfish.�

We got yer treasure:�

Blood Receptacle. Gold bowl used in sacrifices.�

Dagger.� Also used in sacrifices, this knife is black and red.�

Chi Gem. Drops from true demons once they die, valuable item. Colors denote�
aura magnitude (read, how many points you get).(Also, it's a pun-"Chi" is pronounced "key.")�

Unholy Bible. Found only in Hell, this is a tome of great evil and holds some�
knowledge of the ways of demons (if studied for awhile-i.e. player doesn't have�
time to use knowledge). Well-guarded.�

And, o' course, we got yer powerups:�

Detectors/Enhancers:�
AutoMap. Maps the current area for you, retains map of where you've been.�
Infrared Scanner. Allows you to see enemy through walls, in dark, invisible�
�demons (in later episodes).�
Sonar. Allows you to see all exits, obvious and secret.�

Armor:�
Duty armor: will take first ? health points away from damage to wearer.�
Guard armor: will take first ? health points away from damage to wearer.�
Battle Armor: will take first ? health points away from damage to wearer.�
Demon armor: Will take all damage, but a bit of health leaves at every hit.�

Energy fields (very high damage can overload them):�
Beam shield. Lessens effects of energy weapons.�
Disruptor Shield. Eliminates effects of energy weapons, save for the BFG.�
Deflector Shield. Deflects grenades and missiles.�
Ban shield. Prevents all solid weapons from hitting.�

Both armor and energy shields take damage when hit, until they are no longer�
useful.�

Other protections:�
Shockshield. Acts like a deflector shield, but creatures you bump into suffer�
electrical shock damage. The shield is temporary.�
Shadow Cloak. This makes you temporarily invisible.�
Chaos Field. Makes monsters nearby fight each other.�

14.3 Interesting Items�

Episodes 2-6 and the commercial game will have items that fill out the story, and�
give the game have a sense of richness.�

Some ideas: memos, notes, clothes, signs of inhabitance, junk, familiar but�
damaged items, etc.
