Thick skin is a joke.

Title. Having this trait should mean I can take ONE HIT FROM A SINGULAR ZOMBIE AND NOT END UP WITH A BITE AND STILL PLAY THE GAME.

Probably he would have felt better if the bite was a laceration, and he got the zombi virus cuz of the lacerations 25% chance?

just happened again. am i doing something wrong in this game?

[Pocket Chicken OG]

getting bit? im only on build 40 to play MP and without the thick skin can avoid getting bit and such. are you like trying to tank the zombies thinking your skin is made of metal?

[Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia]

It is more useful with zombie virus mortality set to never, but not getting hit is far better than that trait will ever be.

If you are taking wounds fighting zombies then you have bit off more than you can chew in most cases.

Right decision is not to pick thick skinned trait nor the opposite one)0)

[Dynamite]

Having that trait means YOU HAVE LESS CHANCES OF TAKING A CERTAIN KIND OF DAMAGE. Which means that your chances for a bite are less than for the rest, and the same for lacerations.

Can you still take a bite? Yes. Have you studied how probabilities work? Most probably yes, but you're just mad.

Just today I took a laceration after hearing a Bite Sound. I had the Thick Skin trait. I'm sure it saved my life, that Laceration could have been a Bite pretty easily.

Youre wrong my friend) Thick skinned affects the chance of being infected if character get scratches or lacerations from zeds. (Thick skinned is 4% chance of getting infected after a scratch (normal - 7, thin skin - 12) Laceration might be lethal for character with that trait at 14% chance of zombie infection (25 - normal, above 30 for thin skin) AND THE MOST INTERESTING - IF YOUR CHARA GOT BIT - THICK SKIN WILL NOT HELP YA)0) )

doesnt it literally say when you get hit, it reduces the chance of that hit becoming a bite/scratch/lac?

[Ladriverni]

It would make more sense for it to work like Dynamite said.... Anyways, use armor and if you still get lacerations, use a bunch of disinfectant. I've never turned from lacerations...

[l_pha]

I usually don't take it because it's useless in the sense that you should never be in situation where you are getting bit. If you are in a situation where you are getting grabbed and bitten then you are probably already going to die anyway.

You are wrong. No trait reduces zombie infection rates. Thick skin does in fact do as the others have stated and just make it less likely you will take damage or reduce damage taken from attacks.

I always play with thin skinned. Zombie bite is death. This is the way. Dont get bit.

In build 41 'skinned' traits affects the chance of being infected if character get scratches or lacerations from zeds. That is true.

public void generateZombieInfection(int paramInt) {
if (this.ParentChar.Traits.ThickSkinned.isSet()) {
if (Rand.Next(100) < paramInt / 1.8D)
this.IsInfected = true;
} else if (this.ParentChar.Traits.ThinSkinned.isSet()) {
if (Rand.Next(100) < paramInt * 1.7D)
this.IsInfected = true;
} else if (Rand.Next(100) < paramInt) {
this.IsInfected = true;
}

This is the way.

Also, if they are getting bitten they need to use cars more.
