darkness falls stamina

[IRuleAll]

i dont understand this system, i got hit by a zombie and now my max stamina is 10 less even though im not under any kind of ailment/debuff at the moment. but i had 91 stamina, got hit, and now my stamina is only 81. how do i get all my stamina back, my character is is down like 30-40 stamina prior to that death and me going back and getting my bag and getting hit and which made it drop another 10 all the way down to 81.

DF has a WELLNESS system... read about it in your journal. There are foods and drinks that will raise your wellness, even far above what you would expect from the vanilla game. Experiment with that a bit and you'll understand more about it. Do study the journal entries Khaine has made for the majority of his changes to the game. It's worth the time.

There is a perk for wellness that i ignored my first time playing.
This also functions as a max health and stamina perk , provided you can raise your wellness.

Vitamins are amazing for DF they raise wellness and prevent infections, if you get infected or injured you will lose wellness. ( other effects lower wellness like death)
