Surviving mortal wounds?
« on: August 08, 2009, 02:10:06 am »

Yeah just played and was fighting a cougar, and it pierced my lung somehow... i quickly killed it, and then just jumped into the world map. After that i was completly healed. So all wounds that do not have permanent damage can be healed by fast traveling ? even mortal ones?

You can't travel while you're bleeding, as I discovered after my entrails rocketed out of my belly.

Otherwise, if you can travel and it's not actually missing, it will be healed.

I can survive mortal wounds with my modded arachnid character, due to his extra toughness and resiliance (plus having 8 eyes reduces the chance of becoming blind).  The mortal wound had to stop bleeding though, so I don't think a normal human/ elf/ dwarf would've survived it.

You were probably lucky enough not to take any other wounds.  Usually you'll get something else that bleeds a lot (like "broken upper body") if you have a mortal wound...

I've never experienced problems traveling while bleeding.

You're lucky you just had a pierced lung, though, and not a torn-out throat. I've never heard of someone surviving that.

that is only a problem if you need to BREATHE. i.e.dont have a NOBREATHE token.

if you have nobleed then pierced hearts dont matter as well

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

A peirced lung isn't actually a mortal wound unless it pierces both lungs. The game calls it one because if you didn't travel you'd eventually suffocate, even after you stopped bleeding. So you were lucky. The rule is that if its not chopped off and you're not bleeding then you'll be ok.

It won't let you travel if you're bleeding, but bleeding can stop while wounds remain.

Even if you have no bleed, a missing throat is rather problematic for the rest of your (short) life.
