Acid Chirons are stupid

This sounds like a good solution:

apply the same damage calculation as incendiary to the overall HP pool. this will prevent it from dealing insane HP damage numbers by stacking the damage done from different limbs

This would be too similar to incendiary. Currently it is too similar to poison. They should really go back how it worked earlier just quicken damage as I have described it in the similar topic.

Acid is insane... why did you think this was a good idea?

I think they should go back to previous mechanic, but allow acid to deal damage faster. For me it should deal damage equal to round_up(damage applied/20,0)*10, and it’s potential should be decreased by amount of damage dealt. So maybe I will show it with tables. Below examples assume soldier has 30 armor on each body part (so in current game terms equivalent of not buffed heavy armor). previous method: effect applied 10 left 20 left 30 left 40 left 50 left 60 left turn 1 dmg 10 0 10 10 …

That way it would be still perfect weapon to deal with armors and wouldn’t punish soldier too much with damage in subsequent turns. Unless enemy will hit you again with acid. But well - many hits should be lethal in most cases.
