Wounded legs is an intrinsic property generally considered undesirable. With wounded legs, your dexterity is reduced by one and abused evey five turns. You are unable to jump or kick 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.

Legs may be wounded by:

  • A xan's attack
  • An exploding land mine
  • Jumping out of a bear trap (this wound can last a very long time)
  • Trying to jump when you are stuck in the floor (from being caught in lava when it solidified)
  • Fumbling with a cursed digging tool
  • Kicking walls, objects, or nothing
  • Falling off your steed

A blessed or uncursed potion of speed will cure wounded legs.
