Frostbite

Frostbite is caused by cold damage from any source, such as cold-based attacks or prolonged exposure to cold weather. It has the following effects on affected hit locations:

• Tended wounds will have a chance per "tick" to not receive any healing, chances based on the severity of the frostbite.
• Precision activities may be hindered or prevented, such as attempting to pick a lock with frostbitten hands.

Frostbite can be seen in the output of the health command.

Treatment

Frostbite is not treated by NPC healers. Physickers are able to treat it with unguents while on medical duty in an infirmary, however. This is to help keep PC healers relevant despite the presence of automated NPCs.
