Minor ways to injure yourself

[Keshash]

Pretty much what title says. More ways to gain some wounds while not fighting. These would be pretty rare, to not be a constant headache, though. My proposals:

• Cuts when sawing, drilling things.
• Bruises, a-la minor health loss while crafting carpentry items, furniture and walls.
• Cuts when cooking food items, that require knives or other sharp things.
• Cuts from random shards when sowing plants. Higher chance of infection, because of the dirty work.
• Accidentally triggering animal traps or explosives, while crafting them.
• Cuts from sharp branches and other things while foraging.
• Burns while metalworking, cooking, equipping candles, maintaining campfires.
• Chemical poisoning while painting walls, crafting explosives etc.

I like this Idea!

Totally agreed. This is the way to make more realistic craft skills: let people try to do something, but punish them for incompetence. This also can be used to make "all thumbs" trait more dangerous (and give more points).

I agree, but only if its caused by a player's oversight. Such as doing these activities while exhausted, over-burdened, or in the dark.

 

RNG injuries will create way too many rage quits otherwise IMHO.
