Characters really weak to pain atm ?

[Jaguar Sprint]

My arna has a full hp body with only a 88% head, but my static pain is 30% ? Whats going on ?
Update : 25% at full body ?? Does the stat just decrease very slowly now ?

Yes, passive -pain change got changed a few patches back, you now need actual pain relief.

Carrying one or two bottles of booze usually does the trick, but you can also bring herbal extracts or other stuff to deal with it.

Yea the pain system is super overtuned rn. You get hit for like 3 damage and instantly rocket up to 27% pain. I basically travel the world eternally drunk to keep my morale / sanity up. I usually go through multiple bottles of brandy per dungeon. It's a bit much.

It doesn't work like that unless you constantly have some leftover pain from the previous damage and untreated injuries.

Taking 20 damage while having default Max Health generates ~5% pain

I like the new pain changes, getting tabbed no matter how tough you think you are is a very traumatic and painful experience.

I got a minor leg injury and I got about 1% pain per turn standing still, went up to 100% without having much of a chance to react. Now I'm dying from pain shock. Even getting drunk doesn't help, the pain is literally rising faster than the alcohol treats it. The ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to do?

Treat the injury first. Walking on a broken leg hurts, even when drunk. Splints, Leaches or a surgeon's toolkit are the best (in that order) but 2-3 uses of healing salves should also treat it.

My opinion is that the pain levels are good, with one exception: When you are fully healed (100% condition to all body parts AND 100% of max health) Pain should decrease faster.

I have had several times where I'm at 25%+ pain, and yet fully healed, which doesn't make any sense. If I'm not hurt, I shouldn't be hurting, unless I have developed a chronic condition, in which case that pain should NEVER go away. It makes no sense for pain to persist beyond the injuries, but still be something that goes away over time naturally, no matter how slowly.

The pain is right. If your not paying any attention bad things happen. Your just lucky you can get your leg hacked off almost and still walk back to town. Could you imagine trying to hop on one foot?

Take some mead with you. This game is trying to get you to prepare before delving into the dungeon. Of course if your not prepared it can be bad for your health. Sometimes I take a full pack into the dungeon. What I leave with may be different sure, but what I brought I used.

I HAVE hopped on one foot, several city blocks, when I need to (chronic condition). It is brutal, and if the Dev's want to be accurate about severe pain, it should increase fatigue levels (being in severe pain is exhausting, even just when sitting.)

But I still say that barring a chronic condition, (and I'm not against the Dev's adding permanent injuries to the game) you should not be in pain if you are fully healthy.

Seeing that nobody in Stoneshard passes out/dies from pain/medical shock, I'd say the Dev's are going VERY easy on the pain-from-combat, and I wouldn't mind it increasing faster from injury.

Basically, I'm for a faster to rise during injury, faster to fall after healing, pain system.

Pain seems to be fine, its the damn bleeds that are now on every hit.

Yeah, pain is just right now. It was way undertuned before. Have another look at the medicines and drugs if you've played before, they changed some. Herbal extract + a poke with the lancet is good now, it'll see you through. Paregoric is an interesting option for harder dungeons now.
