Aiding oneself without an arm

Post by Vaemar » Sat Jul 04, 2015 11:37 am

The Slave Pits in Menzoberranzan
N-The Slave Pits E-The Slave Pits W-The Slave Pits D-The Slave Pits
The pits are not like other parts of the city of the drow. Instead
of being carved magically from the stone, the slaves themselves have been
forced to build their living quarters. The stone is rough and somewhat
damp. There is mouldy straw on the floor for the bedding of the slaves.
There is a sign on the wall.
A small fountain gurgles here. (perfect)
An acolyte of Lolth is here to teach you some spells.

A slender female drow is heavily wounded.
Her left arm is severed.
Her chest has many nasty wounds.
Her left leg is mangled.
Her right leg is critically injured.
She is bleeding freely.

You are bleeding heavily.

Perhaps if you were standing.

You gather yourself and stand up.

You fail.

You aid Elvanshalee!
help aid
Aid
===
Syntax: aid <target>

This skill allows you to bring a stunned person back into consciousness. It
also stops bleeding. It is important to note that you need both arms in
order to aid someone, including yourself...
so if you venture alone, and lose
an arm, you may not be able to aid yourself!

(A) Bleeding (B) Commands Used During Combat
(C) Generic Skills (D) Healing
(E) Lost Limbs
Uh? Then what was it, drow superpowers?

I admit I tried because I hadn't seen the arm falling and didn't read all the white lines.

However it conflicts with both this help files and that about lost limbs.

P.S.
In the above helpfile there should be a space after the three dots.

P.P.S.
As I was reporting this a mob stepped in and cut both arms of my girl, lol, and she wasn't able to aid herself in that case.
So might it be that if one loses only his left arm can still aid himself?

P.P.P.S.
Maybe some more tests could be useful.

Confirmed that AID now works (with equal chance of success) with one arm missing. It is not possible if both arms are severed. I'm assuming this is an intended change and have updated the helpfiles accordingly.
