Hard to Kill no longer makes a character effectively immortal

Current status

The update lists a fix for the Hard to Kill trait making characters effectively immortal. The patch does not publish a replacement lifespan or death probability.

What to check in your save

Maintain an heir and succession plan even for a character with this trait. Do not build a dynasty strategy around the removed immortality behavior.

Version boundaries

The patch lists the issue as fixed. A similar symptom on a newer build needs a fresh reproduction instead of a claim that the old defect is still universally active.
