I ran across a deer leg and it now works fine.

I eated it.

Mmm... Was it tasty? :p

I don't doubt your word, but why isn't it mentioned in the handbooks or in any of the FAQs I've found, or in any of the Walkthroughs I've managed to consult? You'd think it would be important information, even if they only give you *one* health point back...

It's just one of those added depth little things you discover on your own, like relighting torches with flares. There's no need to mention it anywhere, it's just something to make you go "Ooo, cool, I never knew that!"

Food gives you nothing in Thief Gold, including Deer Leg. (I played last night, and ate a bunch of stuff, and nothing helped).

In T2, however, all the food gives you one-quarter of a health point, so you might see an increase if you eat 1-4 food items, depending on the actual number of points you have (5.00, 4.75, 4.50, 4.25, etc.).

Not quite right. Hit points are integer values, you can't have 4.75 health.

Food items don't restore a quarter of a health point, but instead have a one-in-four chance of restoring a single health point. On average, that's roughly the same thing in the end.

Huh...thanks for that information NV. I won't make that mistake again. :thumb:

I've never noticed any chance to it so it seemed like simple addition, not to mention the "one-quarter-point" is what I've always heard others say. :D

Hmm, under these conditions I stand corrected.
