Sore as Shit Debuff

The Sore as Shit Debuff appears in the later arcs of the dungeon as a gritty reminder of the crawlers' physical limits, first detailed during the chaotic events of The Butcher's Masquerade. It functions as a pure pain debuff triggered by severe injury, inflicting total body soreness that leaves stats untouched yet hampers mobility and focus for one to six hours. This mechanic underscores the series' shift toward realistic consequences of prolonged combat, forcing characters to manage recovery time amid escalating threats.
