Leeches, how much damage?

Wasn't thorns, I got hit by 6 ants after death. ^.^

I'm pretty sure increasing your strenght / constitution gains increases your current health as well. Eat some str / con food to get out of the dangerous low bit you're at, then start the slow path of healing up with leeches.

I got murdered by ants on my first character, while I had an empress AND a queen in my study!

This is a hugely flawed system, there should be a way to heal without being so low on hp that you're stuck at that hp unless you grind LP to get bandages.

You'd think, in a game with permadeath, people would be a bit more careful about not taking damage.

With that said, I'll be one of the first to admit to screwing up raiding ant hills and nearly getting killed, too. Or not paying attention and getting mauled by a bear.

LP to get bandages is completely trivial, and the devs are quoted as wanting to make the early stages of the game seem more "dangerous" for the player. Seriously don't fucking get your HHP so low, and if you accidentally do, then take the necessary cautious steps to fix it.

Each leech does 3 damage 3 times before it becomes bloated. It doesn't do HHP damage, just SHP unless it knocks you out.

The system isn't flawed, you just toyed with death. Next time be careful about treating the wilds like candyland. Forests are scary places to be and not generally good for human health/survival.
