Strategy

Unlike other small creatures, adders cannot be trampled by Horses. They can be trampled by Carts.

Notes

  • Adders inflict Adder Bite wounds, which increase in severity over time and come with a hefty -15 STR per wound. Eventually, the wound will start healing and dissipate. There is a chance that Nerve Damage occurs with adder bites, and it is speculated that it's either from the frequency or amount of adder bites a character has.[1]
  • Extremely bountiful on Mountains, if you use a cart you can obtain many in a short time frame, in return it provides 1x2 Fresh Adder Hides while yielding only 1x1 Adder Hides making it less space efficient.
  • Adders go after small animals like rabbit or squirrel. Which can be used to get them of 'your' tail. (Saw a snake getting killed by a Wood Grouse Cock, but don't know who started the fight)
