Dead immediately when energy reached 0%

When my energy reached 0% I started to loose hard hp -20 every second...and I died...is it intended to be such pain?

As soon as you hit 1000% energy, you started taking starvation damage. Same system as legacy, you can abuse it a bit but if you run out completely you die very fast.

Starving starts below 1000 energy points. Arguably it could warn you better, but, well.

It's not a bug under any circumstance.

Expected to get starvation damage as soft damage and not -20 per second :/

Might make a little more sense if the damage scaled more smoothly perhaps? You'd be warned about the whole impending death thing via game mechanics a bit better.

It was far slower than that when it started happening, though.

When energy >0 then it takes -2 soft hp.
When it reached 0 then I started to loose hard hp, -20 per second. But I had a lot of soft hp.

Btw, when my body decay, can I inherit something from skeleton? Is it implemented?

Isn't it slow damage from 1k down to 1 energy, then spikes at 0 energy? I was just suggesting the damage start in severity sooner and increase gradually as you approach 0.

This would give more time for people to realize starvation damage is no joke and potentially start reacting I guess? Definitely user error, but the system can help guide players a little more than it does.

@jaguar I do believe you can recover your skull as a keepsake or to study for some LP. But it's not worth it for characters this young iirc.

Indeed.
