[hr][/hr]

Bloodthirst

Briar has a new stat: Blood value, with a maximum of 150.

- Fixed decay rate: -75/day - Sources of Blood value gain: - When eating raw meat, gain Blood value equal to 25% of that food's Hunger value. - Creatures affected by "Crimson Curse" provide +1/sec.

Blood value affects Briar's abilities as follows:

Weakened state (Blood value ≤ 20%) - Movement speed -25%, changes walking animation - Base attack multiplier -0.25 - Hunger drain rate +25% - Cannot cast Blood Frenzy and Certain Death skills - Work efficiency -25%

Normal state (20% < Blood value ≤ 80%) - No negative effects from the Weakened state - No buffs from the Energized state

Energized state (Blood value > 80%) - Movement speed +25%, changes running animation - Both eyes leave red trails - Base attack multiplier +0.5 - Work efficiency +25% - Cannot be put to sleep, but still yawns - Sanity slowly regenerates

Crimson Curse

Briar bears a curse from blood magic:

- Cursed trinkets do not affect her - As Health is lost, healing effects increase - Does not suffer max Health penalties - Cannot receive normal healing effects; can only recover through bleeding or skills - Has night vision - When attacking a target, applies a bleeding effect called "Crimson Curse" to the target: - Each stack of bleeding deals 1 damage per second to the target - Stacks up to 10 times, duration 8 seconds - Each cursed creature, when taking damage, heals Briar for (0.5 + 10% of damage dealt) Health - When the creature dies, instantly heals Briar for an amount equal to the remaining stacks when the creature died - Last Stand: When near death, enters a Last Stand state. While briefly unable to be attacked, restores to full Health, then loses 10% Health per second until death. During this time: - Gains an additional 2.0 attack multiplier - Gains a 1.35 movement speed multiplier - Gains 2.0 work efficiency - Unarmed attacks cause additional effects - This form is independent of the three Blood value states

Ravenous Appetite

Briar has a very powerful appetite:

- Does not lose Health when eating food - No negative effects when eating monster meat and raw meat - Does not care about freshness when eating food - When her Sanity is below 30%, she can right-click herself to enter a daydream state, recalling the food she most wants to eat, continuously consuming Sanity to restore Hunger

[hr][/hr]

Extreme Curiosity

Having just gotten out of prison, she is very curious:

- Can search moleworm burrows and rabbit holes to capture the creatures inside - Her powerful curiosity halves the fear aura she receives, and makes her immune to the Sanity loss caused by player ghosts

Keen Sense of Smell

- Can detect certain hidden predators and mark them
