Permanent state of unconsciousness

[WardenOath]

So, my epic slayer of dying bandits got his head bashed in by an angry dust bandit, possibly claiming revenge for leading his group into a pack of their starving nemeses. The problem here is that the health of my characters head is stuck on -3 and my bleeding has stopped. Now my character is stuck in a permanent unconsciousness without dying.
Should I consider this a death by starvation?

Does the health bar for his head have a large red section on it? Red damage can actually grow over time and will slow/stop/reverse your natural healing at larger sizes. Your best bet is to sit there on 4x speed for a while, and you will eventually see a change in his health. If his health goes down, it will continue going down, and should be considered as death.

[WardenOath]

As i said, it got stuck on -3. From there on, the healing/worsening stopped. I waited for a coupple of ingame days, but nothing changed.

[Tolwrath]

Then I suppose he is dead. That's why I always make sure to have some yellow bandaged wounds, or a backup character, before going into a suicide battle. Yellow health will allow you to keep healing regardless of red wounds.

[WardenOath]

I guess technicaly he's dead then. He never got the description stating that he's dead, but I guess that will fix itself when starvation becomes a feature.

From what I understood you shouldn't heal at all unless bandaged, and only when 0 or above...with negatives requiring bed rest to recover.


Currently I have characters that will heal constantly, even in deep negatives, with no first-aid. Characters that heal according to the above, and characters who won't heal while bandaged, even for minor wounds, but will with bed rest.


Also a more standardized system for wound classification would also be nice.

Like...

100 : Fully Healthy part

50 to 99 : Minor wound. Heals naturally, but can heal faster with first-aid.

0 to 49 : Wounded. Requires being bandaged to heal.

-49 to -1 : Seriously wounded. Requires First-aid and bed rest to heal.

-99 to -50: Critically wounded. Requires advanced med kits, and bed rest to heal.

-100: Severing of limbs, or Death for head/chest/stomach


I'm assuming Blood requires you reach the opposite of your normal maximum to cause death.

[Clawdius Talonious]

You heal far more slowly when you haven't been bandaged, but you still heal. Yes, to bleed out you need a negative total that equals your maximum positive value.

just had something like this happen to me yesterday.
Chest wound stayed at -15 but nearly everything else healed
