I've had the oddest thing right now...
I'm having a fully armored fleshie and been attacking this week goblin for a while now (at least we've battled about at least 100 times.)
this is the first time I've actually lost a limb, but here's the odd thing:
it only hit me once but with 26 damage on my right arm.
mostly hits cause me 2 damage, sometimes 4, once in a while 10 with critical hit.
the effect of this one hit is as follows:
- right arm gone
- right hand gone
- 2 damage to chest
- 2 damage to pelvis
- 4 damage to head
- 12 damage to left leg
- 14 damage to golem
questions:
1. why in gods name has it 26 damage on one hit?
2. why in gods name does so many other parts have so many damage?
this is quite totally over the top.
a few more remarks:
- i could not scavenge my armor, because my motivation was 0.
- moving does not decrease motivation, but if no motivation, you can't move, or rather, it appears you do move, and it looks like it actually works, and i can click even on scavenge, but it seems like i hadn't moved at all, cause it says it can't find the items.
- what was NOT there to scavenge was the right hand. (there was no damage to it, and since the arm is destroyed, the hand should've fallen off and could've been picked up, by me.) |

that particular level 2 creature attacks with bites AND a rusty scimitar.
It only attacks a couple times with the scimi, and it almost always misses, but you got a hit (and a crit) for the 26 damage.
That level 2 is basically a one pump chump...You can often kill it with an unmodified level 1, but in return sometimes it just whacks you hard. |

well, that may be so, but the 3 times i attacked today, 2 of them cause another loss of limb...
I'm absolutely positive something must have been changed...
My armor seems to do nothing at all...
in addition, the thing yesterday, i was under the impression that one hit is limited to the part that was hit and if crit, some damage to the golem HP. it shouldn't have damage to several other parts. |

while in game mechanics you may be right, if I ever too a scimitar and swung it at you so hard it lopped off your left arm, I'm pretty sure it would continue on and hurt some other parts of you too. a diagonal swipe at the shoulder/neck line would actually sever the arm and hurt the head, chest, pelvis, and opposite leg. All but cut you clean in two.
Still, can't imagine code that would produce anatomically accurate injuries ;) |

you know, what's even worse?
it's not a scimitar, it's a crooked spear... |

| I've noticed I'm taking a lot more damage in the last ~24 hours... it might be randomness from the damage code, but the mobs have started hitting a lot harder. I'm coming out of every fight with a repair bill. |
