'''Pain''' is a statistic and a damage value, which represents a quantity of pain, shock, or trauma. It is one of the primary damage values in the game (alongside [[Limb damage]]). It is expressed as a '''percentage value''' (e.g. "30% Pain"). When in reference to a creature, '''Pain''' refers to their '''Pain level'''; the current amount of Pain they are experiencing. When in reference to an item, it refers to the amount of Pain that this item will either inflict (e.g. [[weapons]], [[ammunition]]) or cure (e.g. [[meds]]).
Other statistics, such as '''Pain Sensitivity''', '''Pain Blackout Threshold (PBT)''' and '''Pain Death Threshold (PDT)''' all have an effect on Pain as well.
= Pain levels =
Pain cannot go under 0%, but has no upper limit; it is possible to reach multiple hundreds and even thousands of % Pain, though that usually means massive overkill.

* '''PBT''': All sources of Pain Blackout Threshold* '''PDT''': healing are subjected to the [[Effects#Healing|Pain Death Thresholdhealing]] effect.
== Pain Sensitivity ==
PS has no upper limit, but cannot go lower than 0%, at which point a creature would be totally immune to Pain.
== Pain Thresholds ==
''"Pain Blackout Threshold", "Pain Death Threshold", "PBT" and "PDT" redirect here.''
The two Pain Threshold stats, '''Pain Blackout Threshold''' and '''Pain Death Threshold''', are percentage values representing the amount of Pain needed for a given creature to, respectively and as the names imply, blackout and die.
* Pain Blackout Threshold is 100% by default and is not normally affected by any effects or items. Some player characters may have a different PBT, usually defined during [[character customization]].
* Pain Death Threshold is defined as "PBT + 50%" and is fixed. Since PBT is 100% by default, that means PDT is 150% by default in turn.
As a rule of thumb, NPCs should always have a PBT of 100% (and thus a PDT of 150%). Exceptions to this rule should be made clear to players.
