HHP 11... is using leeches to heal myself worth the time?

[Kearn]

I've been using leeches for a while now since my friend discovered a swamp south of our camp, and I have stored about 20-25 leeches in the camp's storage. Is using the leeches worth it?

Yupp. Their Q gravitates toward your CON value, increasing both the amount of damage they do, and the amount they heal. Best healing method available, imho.

protip for leeches, dont wait until you have 11 hhp to start using them, use them regularly to maintain your hhp in between the times when you're out and about (for example when you're just going to stay at home and do farming or whatever).

That's the problem.

I wear 4-5 leeches that aren't bloated almost all the time, and yet boars and rabid grizzlies wander into my camp on such a regular basis that leeches can't even keep me alive.

claim + palisade (or even a roundpole fence) = animal free zone
