Beak Thing Reduced 3-Target AoE

Beak Things. Maybe you love them. Maybe you hate them. Either way, they're strange. Once your character has 20+ Melee Defense, they are completely trivial to fight 1 versus 1. However, try to surround them? All of a sudden you're getting smashed by unrealistic area of effect (AoE).

There are a couple of mods that remove Beak Thing AoE completely, but a terrifying bird/dinosaur hybrid would obviously be able to hit more than one enemy at a time, just not ALL enemies at once. This mod aims to fix that by reducing Beak Thing AoE to 3 targets. This doesn't mean it will always hit 3. It just means it will hit a maximum of 3 people at once.

I personally play with Attack Slots x5, which allows me to surround a Beak Thing with five squad members who can all attack at once. This should give me the tactical advantage, but in vanilla Kenshi, this is a disadvantage instead. Not anymore! Surround those dang dinos and take them down! They'll still put up a fight and damage your squad, but it won't be as ridiculously punishing.

This means that you'll still be rewarded for great micro, as you can ensure only one squad member is in range of the AoE, so you can still use the "vanilla" strategy if you want.

This mod can be kept fairly high in load order as long as you don't have any other mods directly modifying Beak Thing max targets. This mod literally changes a singular value in the game, which means it should be 100% compatible with every mod.
