Rage

[Brandmaner]

Having rage allows you to attack people, but does it allow you to kill or must you have murder? I don't plan on killing anyone, but would pick a fight to keep people off my farm land. But if it came down to it, I would kill someone I suppose... if they just refused to leave.

When you knock someone out with Rage, they will take HHP dmg. While this will not kill them right away, knocking them out several (SEVERAL) times will eventually kill them.

Okay, thank you. So I need rage to protect myself with just showing them a lesson if they don't leave. Any suggestions of stats to raise to defend myself from possible thiefs? I know of a few close by thiefs... that aren't very "Strong" per-say yet. But I am just a farmer, I have decent seweing, no survival yet, no marksmanship yet. But 25 Farming, 15 Sewing, and 10 Carpentry. But any tips or advice for defending myself would be greatly appriciated. Also they have been sleeping in my village because I left the gate open one night... I thought of locking down all the gates and leaving no food in site to starve them since they also built there hearthfires inside think this could work?

I highly doubt that would do anything. They may have glitched the beds so they look like someone is sleeping in there, when there is nobody actually there. If they are still inside... Im not sure there is anything you can do.

For stats, I would suggest getting unarmed (because you seem new and like you dont have access to metal weapons) and str.
Though, if they are decent theives they probably will be able to kick your ass in short order... So putting up a wall and keeping the door closed 100% of the time is your best bet.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that making leather armor will help. Try getting highest Q you can, as more Q ='s more defense.

I planned to do the armor thing as it is. But having no survival yet makes skinning animals horrible for me, Plus no marksmanship so no hunting just yet, I have more then enough perception do do decent in hunting I belive. (I have 33 Base Perception, and 28 str) I grew carrots and ate nothing but carrots lol.

Unarmed combat is the way to go if those thiefs mess with you. When you use unarmed combat you don't lose anything like a sword or anything like that. I only have 14 unarmed combat and i can do 93. So you should get unarmed combat. Its Great!
