Encyclopedia Robustica: Damage values and why they matter...

[Marquesas]

A bit of correction there after re-reading Nitrous - yes, I usually slipped on two or three consecutive tiles three times so 5 brute would make more sense with space lube (3x3 tiles of slip adding up to a total of 45 brute still in yellow zone).

I'm fairly sure some items do more damage when thrown, such as shards of glass. Aaaand spoons have a REALLY high chance to knock out when aimed for the head.

Spoons are robust as hell

The butcher's knife does little damage initially because the majority of the damage dealt is the bleeding over time damage. All you really need to do is stab them a few times and they'll be in crit in no time.

Also, throwing the knife with a successful hit results in instant knockdown, major instant damage, and stun time.

Also, the red chainsaw is instant knockdown as well.
