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. Although if you know what an API is you can find out your current spleen through that. A Spleen indicator was added for Actually Ed the Undying on February 8, 2015, and will be displayed if you have "Display Fullness Counter (WARNING: Not funny.)" enabled.

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 -- a list can be found here.

• When spleen is maxed out and you attempt to use a spleen item, the message 'Your spleen can't handle any more toxins today. You don't want it to rupture, do you?' will appear.
• For a discussion on the comparative merits of spleen-damaging items, see Best Spleen Items.
