"You get used to it after a while, and hey, being in pain at all times makes you notice new pain less." He says, "It's a bitter sweet silver lining. Though I suppose the strength and enhhanced hearing might make it a good tradeoff."

"At the cost of having your chest constantly bleeding? Maybe not for me. But, in my case, I'm far stronger than I was before I got this. Faster, too. Tougher. My strength and nose especially have gotten better, and by the Divines it feels satisfying."

*With a confident smile, Rodric glanced over his hulking arms, clenching his fists and taking a few practice swings at the air. There was a bit of a whistling sound made as he threw his mock punches- evidently strong and quick- and he seemed to have a good understanding of how to do it: with each swing he turned with his whole body, leaving his fists slightly loose before clenching as he made his strike, and sticking out a single knuckle instead of just a flat fist. Once he'd finished reigniting his pride in his strength, he turned back to Odvan, still with a smile on his face.*

"It does have its caveats, but for the most part I got pretty damn lucky with this stuff. Guess it's more sweet than bitter, then."

He chuckles, "Funny you say 'By the Divines' as if they haven't forsaken us." He says, "My chest isn't *Constantly* Bleeding, it's completely open, that's why I keep my chest bandaged at all times, plus it keeps the bugs out, that was a huge issue when I was with the Forsworn." He grins, "Yeah, I hear silver hurts pretty bad, I don't have any real weaknesses other than blunt force. Gotta keep my cage from rattling, otherwise pain shoots through my whole body and I end up blacking out. Would it have killed them to close it up!" He sighs, "Gotta talk to a healer type about maybe figuring a way of closing this gaping wound. Cause it sure as shit doesn't do it itself."
