what does the flaw squamish do in deepwoken

Squeamish in Deepwoken makes you lose a small amount of hunger/stomach when you manually grip or kill NPCs and players. In practical terms, it mainly means your hunger drains a bit whenever you finish off enemies , so you may need to eat more often.

What it does

  • Trigger: when you physically take the life of another enemy by gripping.
  • Effect: a small hunger penalty, usually described as about 2–3% or a tiny chunk of your bar.
  • It does not sound like a huge debuff by itself, but it can add up in long combat sessions.

Why players care

  • If you fight a lot, you’ll notice yourself needing food more often.
  • Some players consider it manageable because certain builds or talents can offset hunger loss.
  • In general, it is viewed as one of the milder flaws compared with harsher ones like Blind or Glutton.

Practical takeaway

If you’re deciding whether to keep Squeamish, the short version is: it’s annoying, but not build-breaking. It mostly affects your food management rather than combat strength.
