What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion suggests adding a foundation role for a combative reality bender.
Let me say first, this is not the same as thaumatologist. A thaumatologist is a non combative that is designed for extra testing and additional self defence. This suggests adding a reality bender that can fight against SCPs, Hostile GOIs, D-class.
I would likely suggest the reality bender combative to be apart of a department such as GSD, E-11 or Nu-7. GSD would be the best for foundation as a whole since they can fight against all codes. E-11 reality bender would simply focus on fighting against SCPs, (I doubt E-11 though since reality benders can't select SCPs). Nu-7 reality bender would be best against CI, however it could be debated since Nu-7 have a Jugg. All in all, I believe a GSD reality bender would be the best since they are "General" security.
I believe their powers should not be nearly as strong as D-class TB, CI TB or TG. It should be a mix of thaumatologist and TB. Powers like inverse, materialise, etc. This means they aren't extraordinarily overpowered and would be the weakest foundation reality bender. 100-150 HP seems fair. They should have either 100 or 150 max energy and should regenerate energy slower than a TB.
If CI are scouting for TBs, so should foundation right? And if they already know how to find thaumatologists, then they should know how to get TBs too right?
I would also suggest this be either a VIP job or a GSD SGT+ kind of thing. I don't believe little jimmy, with a combat level of 20 and a total level of 50 should have access to such power. I also believe there should be strict rules in place for this job, such as requiring an AA auth or CL4 auth to either be flagged onto or to actually assist with anything.
And hell, if this doesn't go too well, you can always put it on a trial period and remove it if it is too overpowered (I doubt it though).
Edit: I feel like this should be changed to instead be a sort of ERT kind of thing. Like what happens with AMTF Nu-7 when CI are raiding for too long (which is usually an event role), I feel like this could be implemented as a sort of permanent kind of thing. Instead of this being a job role, this could be a sort of ERT addition. If CI are raiding for more than 30 minutes they could deploy a small team of AMTF which could include this combative reality bender, or it could be an addition to ERT. Content team's choice but I'd rather scrap the idea of this being a job.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Unsure, not as far as I'm aware.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Foundation, specifically GSD, would get a small buff.
More realistic in terms of lore, If CI can get reality benders, then foundation (the ones with much more power and money) should be able to as well.
More options for GSD instead of just officer.
Easier to deal with code 1s, 2s, and 5s so more RP can happen. This is an RP server, not a combat server after all. The easier it is to stop CI and SCP breaches (which prevent RP) the better.
More RP possible and testing possible with this reality bender.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Harder for CI to raid and shorter SCP breaches (These are only really negatives to those who value RP much less).
Possible abuse, which is why it should either be a rank role or a VIP role and have strict rules in place.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This is something that can help foundation, allow for more RP to happen and can be nerfed, put on a trial period or completely removed if it is too unfair, but I highly doubt this. Give it a chance, would you?
