Grievous Injury

Combat can be dangerous and any moment may swifty turn the tide of battle against even seasoned combatents. Occasionally, characters may recieve Grevious Injuries or Wounds which cannot be treated in the heat of combat and will continue to plague the character until properly healed.   Types of Injuries may have different effects and servarity depending on where on the body they are. Types of Injuries and their discriptions are listed below.   Gash: An open wound, often made with slashing effects resulting in the seperation of tissues and bleeding. Large enough that the skin around the wound cannot close on its own and thus requires intervention to heal.     Puncture: A wound made by a narrow or pointed object that is often deeper than it is long. At times the object is retained or only partially removed.     Fracture: Often caused by blunt force, a fracture is the breaking or shattering of structural tissues causing loss of use and often incredible pain.       Wounds can effect the Arms, Legs, Abdomen, Chest, and Head. The table below outlines the effects of injuries when on specific bodily objects.
