1 punch kill

[Mikhail Reign]

Can people die of shock or heart attack, no matter the HP damage done? I just seen an old man get bumped once by a boar, and up and die.



He had some old injuries, but other then that he was fine. The boar had the revenge event, scratched him once in the leg and killed him.

Yeah, sometimes the melee system is very random...if hes old, hes more succeptable to worse injury.

But yeah, this seems a bit much, i think he would at least start bleeding out first.

actually, I don't recall ever seeing anyone bleed out...

I think bleed out works. I had a tribal die while being carried back to base for healing, no fatal wounds on the pawn, so I figure she bled to death.

[Mikhail Reign]

Oh people can bleed out. I let raiders bleed out on the ground all the time. This just blew me away. I mean he goes a medium scratch on the leg, not even bleeding - insta-death.

My guess what happened: the hit combined with existing injuries caused enough damage/movement penalty that the pawn was downed. Then the storyteller did the random roll to kill downed pawns immediately and he failed it.

Bleedout is something that can definitely happen but vanilla bleed rates from wounds are incredibly low and the total bleed rate is capped at 100%/day so it'll always take at least 24 hours before a pawn dies of blood loss, no matter how grievous the injury.

I agree, the spine and torso injuries would have had him INSANELY slow already, and the hit in the leg must have been the last straw.

wow, bleeding is capped? no wonder its never a threat, I think being hit in vital organs should bleed everywhere, at least enough that you need medical treatment in 6 hours minimum before it gets fatal.

sounds like bleeding is a non issue for most situations, tbh.
