Living on without a head without being invincible?

I've been wondering how one would make a character that can live on without a head but not immune to losing health and dying. I'm just thinking of it for a critter mod.

Sorry to bump, but what I mean is that if the head is severed it doesn't take off the remaining health and result in instant death but instead would still run around without a head until health is brought to zero and THEN dies.

I've been trying to mod a character that works that way.

Sorry, but i really don't know. It seems that the limb called "head" is hardcoded to be life-critical. i don't think that renaming a limb to something else (maybe in the ACT file) is possible, but may be worth a try.
DbtS crashes on startup for me (again), so i'm not able to check it. :/

you could remake the char, put a new limb where the head is supposed to be with the head.off model, then put the real head somewhere inside the model with an empty .off file

dunno if it works but it should

You would also have to edit the hitboxes for the real headlimb so it also is hidden away and impossible to hit

Late response but interesting theories. I'll use my test char for both of these.
