Ain't That A Kick In The Head? (Start with a headshot wound)

Inspired by Fallout New Vegas's Courier 6 opening and also More Traits "burn ward patient" Trait.

This mod adds 2 Negative traits that should shake up your opening and make things a little bit more tense as you scavenge about looking for medical supplies to carefully remove that lump of lead sitting rent free in your head and stitch closed the wound,
all while ensuring recovery time isn't slowed by infection.

as long as it sits in your head you are looking at greatly reduced max health and a constant wave of Agony to remind you its still there.

when you first spawn your health WILL tickle down to your new max. which will reduce your combat effectiveness and ability to aim.
try not to sustain too many other injuries or you'll find out quickly enough you aren't as tough as you thought you were, even if the extra wounds are bandaged.


-Headshot Survivor. +8 Points.
you spawn with a bullet stuck in your head, plus a deep wound, but it is bandaged and you have a spare bandage. that should help keep it stabilized.

-A Real Kick In The Head. +10 Points.
You spawn with a Bullet stuck in your head, plus a deep wound, the kicker? you've no bandages and its bleeding.
better get something to stop the flow of blood and quick.



I wanted a mod where the player will spawn with a critical wound that can make gameplay risky and require the player to search for specific items to heal from it. a wound like this greatlyreduces your max health, with the pain and injury level making combat more challenging, even sleeping can be a challenge.

one thing i know about most project zomboid Fans, They love a good challenge, I believe the term is "I like the way this sucks!"

Plus. I also like the idea of how it can explain how the player poof's into existance.
they didn't. they just caught a very nasty head wound and can't remember anything after regaining consciousness.
