Why did this explosion make me fat? (A land mine increased my weight)
You drop a dwarvish mattock. Your movements are now unencumbered.
You see here a tin. KAABLAMM!!! You triggered a land mine! Your movements are slowed slightly because of your load. You fall into a pit!
Why did this happen? I picked up some scale mail, and became burdened. So I dropped my dwarvish mattock (I still have a pickaxe). That un-burdened me. I walked over to a tin I saw and stepped on a land mine that was suddenly there! I fell into a pit, and then somehow I became burdened again. The tin, meanwhile, flew across the room. (Poor tin.)
How did the explosion increase my weight? Is this a kind of status effect? If so, how could I remove it? The wiki article on land mines mentions nothing about this, and I don't have autopickup on (the tin flew away anyway).
Best Answer
Wounded legs is an intrinsic property generally considered undesirable. With wounded legs, your dexterity is reduced by one and abused every five turns. You are unable to jump, kick, or ride anything, and you become significantly more burdened. However, it is temporary, lasting usually only a few turns. After it is gone, your dexterity returns to its normal level and your encumbrance returns to its previous level.
