getting Crippled/Scars

[Lightning]

It would be more realistic, if a creature could actually get a crippled paw in battle or a scar that gives them a distasteful appereance, perhaps even loose an eye. The chance could be higher if much damage is dealt at one time. That would make the whole thing more interesting and you would have to be more careful.

What about a random die roll to determine what scar? Like:

-nose

-ear

-body 

 

and the damage depends on how much damage was taken?

(you can’t get scars from sickness, leeches or starvation)

cool, maybe there will be a status effect called cripple though

[Incyray]

on the note of healing the scars- real scar tissue can't be healed, and unless nichelings are like axolotls lost limbs can't be regrown. a little more realistic approach to that would be that the damaged limbs or eyes and such can be healed only within a few days of when the injury occurs. once it's been long enough for the scars to form, the injury becomes permanent. (this would also put pressure to guard healing fruits closely and make purr snout important but not OP in regards to healing lost limbs or eyes and such)

Maybe a status effect called crippled would give you like -1 to -3 speed, depending on how bad the damage you took was. The type of predator could also factor into this! Cool idea! Take an upvote child!

I want scars so baaad! Have a vote. If it is a status effect like Fishy said, then it should be able to be healed by healing fruits or purring

I didn't want the scars to be healed anyway, I meant the crippled effect you can get in addition to scars

Well, we have blind eyes, missing paws, infertility....why not crippled legs? Upvote ^^

Maybe if a creature takes bleeding damage, then it would get a scar? Also, maybe the longer it bleeds, the worse the scars will get when they eventually heal.

As if Niche wasn't edgy enough. Upvote.
