At q10, a leech only deals one damage at a time,

At Q10, it deals 3 damage (I also just verified as of 30 seconds before posting)

Okay, but that means I'll get knocked out. How long does it take before I become concious again after getting knocked out, and how much time is between each drain that leeches do?

I was guessing its about 45 seconds after being knocked out, you regain conciousness, and about one minute before the same leech hits you again, thus leaving me 15 seconds to take of the leech and regain SHP. I wasn't gonna try this out before confirming the times, as it could be suicide at single-digits HHP.

Assuming your hard HP is 3 also, getting hit would knock you out, and you wouldn't regain consciousness until the blow is dealt that would kill you.

Thus rendering leeches useless.

something really crazy you could try, build constitution(going to assume you were lying about having over 200 hp since you only 10 perception and 5 exploration) if you get really lucky you may get 1 or 2 hhp while raising your mhp which will then make it safe for you to leech...its a long shot but may help

[ApocalypsePlease]

Something you could try is raising your strength. Every time you raise your strength by one point, you get healed 1 HHP. Do this once, and you can use leeches if you're very careful.

I'm still going to suggest just making a gauze however, since the alternative is elaborate and more of a hassle.

No, I had armor and they didn't do much damage. One of them ate my armor and did another 100 to my SHP, knocking me out. Then one of them did a 100 hit to my HHP and since I had 119 HHP from eating several different things, I had 3 HHP left and they didn't touch me again after that. I don't know how they did the extra 16, I think they did it overtime. o_O

ohh its strength...I know sometimes I get a bonus hhp when getting stats, but as I don't always hover my mouse over my hp bar after every stat up I assumed it was a sometimes thing with con.

@Gabe armor breaks, but you can look at how much hp it has before fighting anything to see if its close to breaking.

My apologies on the leeches if I'm mistaken here (it's not on the wiki). I'm trying to take it from memory as I'm having difficulty logging in and actually playing the game. From what I recall, the leeches to x damage over three ticks, where x = 3 * leech Q / 10, rounded up. That would mean 1 point every so many seconds till it drains three points. However, you guys say I'm wrong, so I'll stand corrected.

Of course, even being wrong, if you have a friend nearby with Theft, they could, in theory, take the leech off you when it knocks you out so it won't drain HHP. One warning, though: it would leave summonable scents leaving the "doctor" player in danger of being summoned and killed.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but the problem is I don't have a friend with theft. Also, would it leave a scent even if I wasn't on claimed land?
