I have logged in like 1 time in a few years and checked my "Critique and Ideas" sh*tposts... *sheesh* what a wonderful ideas I had ¦]

After 5 years after the original idea is poisoning a thing now? Is this mechanic in the game already?

Ye, it is. You only need a eat a few pieces of peppered food to kill most characters, and it's very difficult to distinguish pepper/non-peppered foods

putting ground pepper on food multiplies the total feps but also causes you to take points of a wound called bum burn
it used to be a chance of taking a few points of it for each piece of food you ate, but now its a 100% chance of taking the wound and it rapidly accumulates exponentially. theres been more than a few cases of hermits posting to the forums about their character suddenly up and dying because after a handful of pieces of peppered food they had 200+ points of bum burn, especially if they were using the popular custom client feature to eat everything on a table in a single click.

So... 2025... :roll:

I have read the whole topic again from the scratch and there were some concerns about new players quitting the game after poisoning themselves. Well, as the game is on Steam now, maybe we shouldn't be as concerned about them as we are. The game was always a niche but the playerbase is slowly growing, nevertheless, poisoning system sounds great and fits the game perfectly.

(IT MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE SINCE ALCHEMY HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GAME)

I am once again asking :shock:
It's not like poison should always kill, it could strongly depend on quality of the poison. Some might have other effects like paralyzing or I don't know, maybe making you unable to drink water so that you wouldn't be able to run away from other players as efficiently.

Well, if we can be poisoned then I want to make poison arrows. One hit kill, even if it takes a minute.
