Changing Killed ME !!!

[SinizterMoFo]

I went to my wardrobe and choose the undress into option and it then said You are Dead. What The heck is this?

[Enjoyment]

Obviouslly, you had all your hp on bonus con from gear, and once it gone - you're dead.

[SinizterMoFo]

I had 66 total hp and the gear I was wearing gave only 40 bonus to constitution. You should not Die from taking clothes off at a wardrobe.

[Granger]

Just to make sure: you didn't change into a set of leeches, did you?

[SinizterMoFo]

No I simply changed at the wardrobe. I click the undress into button. I put NOTHING on.

You lost your constitution buff, and went to negative HP. This is a consequence of Con being possible to buff. Not a bug.

If anything you could perhaps argue that the character should refuse to take off a piece of clothing if doing so would imply death, but that may also be hard to determine before the fact. Will consider.

Other two options are:

A) You don't lose actual HHP when undressing, just lose max HHP. If current HHP>Max HHP, then current HHP = Max HHP.

B) You lose all but one HHP. Undressing can't kill you, but it'll leave you, literally, at one, and exactly one, HP.

Downside to B is that this indicates wounds... wounds means they can become infected or other various things where they fluctuate and you still end up in the same situation. As a penalty to implementing A, maybe adjust healing rates slightly based on increased CON so that anyone dropping +CON gear will feel the effect of it.

Tbh I thought it was this way already. only makes sense that removing a buff to con would remove HP off the top - the MHP. unless you hit 0 con from debuffs, it doesn't seem realistic to die in this fashion.

[Teleskop]

thats a nasty way to die

[Granger]

As currentHHP=maxHHP-wounds and maxHHP<=wounds being the definition of death... the only option would be to disable unequipping of gear that buffs con. Which would lead to a mess of corner cases (stealing gear from a downed character).

The sane approach (code wise) IMHO is to keep the mechanic as-is.
