Torturer

Torturer
Description:	The torturer knows all the pressure points and most sensitive areas with which they can convey their most important message... "You WILL talk." Enables the Torture action.
Learned by:	Chao 4	If Mush:	Kept

A Torturer can use "enhanced questioning techniques" on a crewmember in the same room, causing 1 damage and then letting them see the last X actions they performed, with X being the number of missing .

Needless to say, this is a very useful tool for Chao when hunting the Mush. As any damage taken will reveal more actions, it also combines well with Wrestler (though not as well with Shooter, as firing guns at people risks an accidental headshot).

• Picking up and dropping of items is not shown in the list. Confirm: And examine?
• A sleeping person will not wake up / get out of bed from being tortured.
• There is a small chance that you will also hurt yourself while doing this, comparable to other actions.
• If a person dies from the damage, the cause of death will be "Injuries" - as if killed by something generic like a shaking room.

• This is the only action in the game which reveals exactly how much health the other person is missing. This makes it very powerful in combination with a Natamy Rifle.

Actions with Torture show up in the log according to the names of their respective skill buttons. For example, if the character you tortured someone who had just hidden something, it would show as "Hide", but not give a location or detailed description.

When someone has used the Spore Sucker, the logs displayed by Confident, Premonition and Torturer do very closely resemble that of a Mush pulling a spore. Pay close attention to whether the action is "Extract spore" (Spore Sucker) or "Extract a spore" (Mush pulling a spore)!

Confirm: As the resulting injury is probably not considered "combat damage", it would be unaffected by Plastenite Armor or Hard Boiled.
