Hollow Bones
Hollow Bones HOLLOW_BONES BIRD SLIME ELF-A
| Requires: Light Bones Point cost: 1 |
| "You have Avian Bone Syndrome--your bones are nearly hollow. Your body is very light as a result, enabling you to move and attack 20% faster, but also frail; you can carry 40% less, and bashing attacks injure you more." |
(View - Edit Notes )Notes
- Reduces movement cost by 20.0%.
- Reduces attack and throwing cost by 20.0%.
- Reduces maximum carry weight by 40.0%.
- It increases bashing damage received by 80%.
- Combined with Bad Back, this reduction of carrying capacity becomes extreme. A test character with Str 12 had a weight limit of 52.4lbs. This makes many strategies infeasible: awl-pikes (26.46lbs), powering tools with car batteries, large guns (a Barrett weighs >30lbs), heavy metal armors, and jackhammers, for example, and hauling loot out of buildings becomes quite tricky; a shopping cart becomes much more desirable.
