Brittle Bones (D)

Your bones are brittle.

You suffer 50% more damage from blugeoning attacks, falling, and other sources of concussive damage.

Brittle Bones (D) is a physical defect that causes the player to take extra damage from certain damage types.

If the player receives fall damage, such as when falling down a deep shaft, damage from cudgels, or concussive damage, such as that dealt by Stunning Force, the total damage dealt will be multiplied by 1.5. The message log will also return the following message:

You feel your bones fracture.
