[quote=“Valpo, post:36, topic:7459”][quote=“Malaxxor, post:35, topic:7459”][quote=“Valpo, post:34, topic:7459”]having clean hands surely doesn t contribute to beeing healthy in the sense of a resilientbody capable of fending of diseases. It might avert getting sick though…however not by increasing your bodys health.
On the other hand beeing rediculessly dirty might actually damage your health. As might beeing overly steril.[/quote]
Well, clean hands do actually help to prevent certain types of infections. It would also help to prevent YOU from infecting other people, but in Cata, this is probably a moot point. Also, the general consensus seems to be that hygiene should give a boost to “tidy” characters, while being safe to ignore for people who don’t want to mess with it. I’m fine with that too, actually.[/quote]
Thats not my point. I didn t deny the fact that clean hands can avert diseases. My point was that it will not increase your health. Its however one way to keepit from decreasing. I was intending this to be a counter argument for the believe that hygiene should increase your ingame characters health. A better aproach would be (even though i think its to much of a chore ) to have an additional chance to contract a disease while beeing dirty enough.[/quote]
I did understand what you meant. However, I was under the impression that the “health” stat didn’t only represent your physical health. Reading up on the wiki, I was wrong. I still think that a small bonus to health would be a nice way to represent smaller risks of infection.
