Spleen
Every character has a spleen, whether they like it or not. As with the stomach and liver, their spleen counter starts off at 0 (undamaged) every day after rollover and increases with the use of certain items.
As with fullness, spleen:
- has a maximum of 15 which cannot be exceeded;
- has no negative effect for reaching your limit for the day;
- does not and (according to Jick) never will have any visible counter to tell the player how damaged their character's spleen is.
There is a method of removing spleen hits. Mojo filters can be used up to three times per day, and each use heals one spleen point.
As with both drunkenness and fullness, there is a skill that increases the maximum amount of spleen-damaging items you can use in one day from 15 to 20. The Spleen of Steel skill is only available to Oxygenarians.
Different items have different spleen damaging quantities. Oyster eggs, astronaut ice-cream, Medicinal Herb's medicinal herbs, twinkly wad, hot wad, cold wad, stench wad, spooky wad, sleaze wad and basic, advanced, and final substat boosters all have spleen damage of one. A can of Red Minotaur and a guy made of bee pollen have a spleenliness of three. Hatorade and Breathetastic™ Premium Canned Air both have spleen damage of five. The ultimate wad has spleen damage of fifteen.
- When spleen is maxed out and you attempt to use a spleen item, the message 'Too many <item> are bad for your spleen. That much would cause it to rupture' will appear.
