+## Abstract
+
+Add a new Strain to expand upon the scope of xeno power without just giving them just larger damage numbers.
+The Toxic Sentinel strain extends the power of the xenos without inducing power creep, by only offering it to a T1 xeno.
+Introducing toxic damage to the core loop should expand the role of medics and ideally create an indirect counter to the multitude of marines
+that fill up on bicardine, kelotane, and inaprovalin autoinjectors.
+
+## Goals
+
+1) This feature should introduce a new damage source while also diversifying the T1 combat castes.
+2) Create a different play style to the typical Sentinel playstyle of stun -> slash -> run.
+3) While individually a single Toxic Sentinel is not as threatening as the base Sentinel, it should be more feared in groups where it is not the only source of toxic damage.
+
+
+## Non-goals
+
+Do not just give the xeno a passive toxic bonus nor make it too high, there is no need for every marine to start bringing dylovene as a 4th autoinjector.
+Do not make a more powerful sentinel, this strain should bring with it trade offs that provide a different playstyle to the base Sentinel.
+It will not have any armor. This is not just a melee spitter, it still is the unarmored main force support that sentinel is.
+
+## Content
+
+New strain Toxic Sentinel
+This Sentinel Strain focuses on joining on the mainline offense, with toxic damage buildup, a blind, and a movement stim.
+As a frontliner with no armor, it should get some more health to compensate.
+
+Blinding Spit acts as a short range ability to make it safer to attack the frontline, 
+it only lasts a short ammount of time, should be no longer than 3 seconds, with a minimum cooldown of 3 seconds, and a minimum plasma cost of 40 plasma.
+
+Sprint acts a way to be more active on the frontline since you have no garunteed way to stun enemies.
+It should last no longer than 40 seconds, with a minimum cooldown of 60 seconds, and a minimum cost of 40 plasma.
+
+Toxic slash is a toggleable ability that makes the Sentinel deal toxic damage with every slash. I have literally no idea how much damage it should be,
+but the plasma cost needs to be significant and it should be the main for of dealing damage.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+I truly cannot think of any alternatives at the moment.
+
+## Potential Changes
+
+More than likely the toxic damage will have to be adjusted. The toggle toxic slash ability could also provide an attack speed buff at the cost of even more plasma.
+It may need more health and plasma to compensate for its more dangerous playstyle.
