Yeah; it's possible to survive limb loss within the realms of my game, but you *will* require treatment of a fairly powerful nature quite urgently and very rapidly. Normal medical treatment can quite possibly be sufficient (especially if its a normal limb), if obtained quick enough, but really, once you lose a major limb, you're looking at requiring magical assistance. If you're tough, and/or part of a tough race, you may not be in such bad trouble - Trolls for instance, can survive limb loss (minor) without treatment, and have a chance at major loss, due to their regenerative abilities. A halfling is screwed if something gets chopped off. Ditto for other various injuries. Incidentally, magical healing is desirable for a number of other reasons - limb regrowth, to avoid scarring (which occurs if bad wounds heal naturally), and so on. - -- -Matt Chatterley <A HREF="http://user.itl.net/~neddy/">http://user.itl.net/~neddy/</A> "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.." -John Lennon (Imagine) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNYfoYUsWGgRW8+MZAQHOAAMAmQzVBZyZ1bYZL45/nFr+2f957g4Rl5kY uSl3YQleXxycytmWvxyr+V8tXq0syGG9Xj1PJWaqTdZmlKiMJB2gCTjWoOoWuwa3 oO62c2IMeFwm6kYk4x5BVHvG9l/PFvY3 =38kh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="01038" HREF="msg01038.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Richard Woolcock <KaVir#dial,pipex.com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01106.html">[MUD-Dev] RE: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulleti</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01108.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Technical C/C++ coding question</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01043.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01039.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01107"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01107"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01037" HREF="msg01037.html">[MUD-Dev] stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></strong>, Dan Shiovitz <a href="mailto:dbs#cs,wisc.edu">dbs#cs,wisc.edu</a>, Sun 14 Jun 1998, 21:57 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01038" HREF="msg01038.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Sun 14 Jun 1998, 22:51 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01041" HREF="msg01041.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></strong>, Mike Sellers <a href="mailto:mike#bignetwork,com">mike#bignetwork,com</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 01:04 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01043" HREF="msg01043.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></strong>, Robert Woods <a href="mailto:rwoods#nebula,honors.unr.edu">rwoods#nebula,honors.unr.edu</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 04:43 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01107" HREF="msg01107.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Wed 17 Jun 1998, 15:06 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01039" HREF="msg01039.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Sun 14 Jun 1998, 23:37 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01040" HREF="msg01040.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></strong>, Ben Greear <a href="mailto:greear#cyberhighway,net">greear#cyberhighway,net</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 00:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01054" HREF="msg01054.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></strong>, Katrina McClelan <a href="mailto:kitkat#the486,bradley.edu">kitkat#the486,bradley.edu</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 22:35 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01056" HREF="msg01056.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: stuff that makes me leave (was Re: In game bulletin...)</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Mon 15 Jun 1998, 23:10 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
