That's because bricky spooders are omegabroken and can roll mul strength. The actual code function of 'skill vs wildlife/humanoids/etc.' is not very impactful on its own.

Also, as its been hinted at numerous times:

For those whose job it is to kill spiders, they will find themselves far more capable against spiders than if come upon by a humanoid raider.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

Yeah I get there is probably some hidden skill versus thing in our list of skills.

My point is the stark contrast between fighting people and fighting fauna is soooo wide.

Brick red spiders will ALWAYS give me pause, whether I'm a thirty days played character that wipes the floor with everything or whether I'm a day one newb.  To see one in the distance is like WELL FUCK.

They are so varied in power, I've killed five in a row to be OMFG HIT in the neck from 100hp to 20hp

This is how I feel about carru. I nearly died to a carru once on a character that could kill the majority of mobs in the game because it randomly hit me three times for like 80 damage. Random stats on mobs can make them rediculous.
I make up for the tiny in-game character limit by writing walls of text here.

Hell, there was once a time when carru-charge had no delay. They could do it three times in an instant. The '00s were a wild time.

That's still a thing, seen it happen as recent as this month.

Carry can randomly bash you over and over too.  It's rare but I've had it happen.

re: classes

i like them. i like subguild none a lot. i think there should be more things like subguild none. it's cool to grow as a character, through roleplay, and have that reflected in code.

Quote from: Lotion on October 20, 2023, 04:12:55 PMstarter shops are grossly inconsistent in how they are navigated and what they contain. only luir's has bandages.

Moderated by Kestria - Due to in game spoilers.

I suppose a new player wouldn't be aware, but virtually all cloth items can be turned into a functional bandage-item with the salvage command.
Salvage is not a good solution to this problem as clothes to salvage are not always readily available. Even if cloth salvage was readily available it's still not a good solution to my observed problem.

I rarely do this, but I will pass along a pro-tip I got from another player a long time ago.

Find:

a small bag

You know, the one that is often sold alongside "a large bag"

salvage it

How many scraps of cloth you get is dependent on the weight of the item being salvaged.  The problem with cloth is there isn't a lot that weight a lot, and those that do are usually not cheap.  And they need to be a minimum weight to get anything.  So find something common and consistent and cheap.

You got a friend who is trying to get clothworking on a dune trader? Gettem to salvage one of their 235255 pointless tents. You get a ton of scraps every time.
