It’s never fun to be wounded, but some wounds are worse than others. Bruises and Light wounds are relatively harmless, but painful. They are usually just fleshwounds, bruises and sprains. You can keep moving with discomfort, and that’s it.

But Severe wounds are worse. These are deep flesh wounds, bones may be broken, and you may have internal bleeding. You will not die from these wounds, but you will be hampered by them. How you are hampered depends on where you are hit. A Severe wound to the head may cause unconsciousness (CON or WIL check of 6 to stay standing). And a Severe wound to your swordarm may hamper you in fighting, giving you a -3 on hitting with your sword. A Severe in your leg may stop you from running. The exact effects of a Severe wound are up to the Game Master?. However, the first Severe during combat, and any Critical wound you get have special effects.
