Original Body

About the PR

Overall lowers the chances of budget gloves being insulated, and increases the odds of them doing more damage to the user.

Why / Balance

Budget insulated gloves should rarely be insulated, and shouldn't be risk free to test them. Basically every shift you'll see someone hacking a door and taking 22 damage at worst, so they can test every glove in the Youtool before having to go to medical. Increasing the damage multipliers, and lowering the odds in general should make this a bit less desirable to do.

this is so ugly, why is the insulation chance a list of integers instead of just picking between certain ranges?

[VMSolidus]

Nah, I'm really not a fan of this. It's an NRP focused balance update. Making budget gloves randomly kill people outright is neither fun, nor something we really need on this repo
