dm threshold is the minimum required amount of force to dismember a joint.
i don't know the specifics, though.
higher dmt = harder to dm
lower dmt = easier to dm
The default threshold in single player is 100. If you turn it down, to let's say, 60. That makes it easier for Uke, and you to break your limbs and what not. If you turn it up, to like, 150. That makes it harder for limbs to break.
