Alrighty, these fellows got their perception fixed which I think was reported in a bug somewhere.
With the heightened perception radius, their acid-spitting ability can now fire from outside visual range for PCs and I think outside return range for ranged attacks. This creates the same problem as with the dragon's AOE bombardment ability.. they can hit you, you can't hit them. With the set up of the area, this provides a couple of "shooting gallery" scenarios in the monster's favor.
The dwellers with the weapons no longer seem to actually make an attack roll, but instead activate an ability that does acid burst damage and a physical damage. The physical damage hits armor, but doesnt show a chance for a dodge evasion. It seems like this ability works like the 2-handed dev-strike where it scales up as you miss more HP? however the creautres are carrying tower shields and using 1-handed weapons. So essentially, heavy armor is the only thing that can face these creatures, the attack cannot be parried, nor can it be dodged.. and this seems wrong? I was in combat for about 2 minutes and not a single time did I see an attack roll made until I got plugged for 120 physical damage out of no where (i dont know if it was a crit, no floaty text).
Unarmed dwellers are nearly completely a non-threat, their claw damage should probably go up or get an on-hit acid or wounding effect.. something more than what they do.
