You could link a corresponding spell to a level of wound - this would work much easier in previous editions where Cure Light/moderate/serious/critical wounds were explicitly named spells, but you could allocate a wound level to an effect which meant t required healing of that spell level. There...

Nice work There was another Lingering Injures thread a little while back here It may be worth posting in that too. My personal preference is not to add any form of wound to critical hit rolls, but rather use a Death & Dismemberment table, where wound effects accumulate once your Hit Points...

I mentioned upthread a while ago that an alternative to the DMG Lingering Injuries table is a Death & Dismemberment table, which is similar only it goes further to include death as an outcome and is used to replace any existing rules (such as Death Saves) when a PC drops to 0 HP. I mention this...

My attempt at the ultimate Death & Dismemberment table, tweaked for 5E play. If you aren't familiar with the Death & Dismemberment Table, imagine the Lingering Injuries Table from the DMG, only beefed up to be the sole system for managing what happens when a PC hits zero hit points. No more...

To the OP, if you are interested in using a table similar to the DMG Lingering Injuries table for when HP drop to zero there are a bucketload around the internets, usually labelled as Death and Dismemberment tables. If you are interested I have recently made some blog posts collecting about 30...

Critical hits are often not a good match for D&D's abstract hit points. It may be helpful to first discuss with your group what your shared understanding is of what hit points, hit point damage, and critical hits represent. Also consider exactly what you want your critical hit system to do for...

I think it's interesting to view this in reverse - in many ways it's like taking the existing cantrip system but allowing the option to "burn" the use of that cantrip for the day to up it by 1d of damage

The increases in duration for Dominate Person work in the way I'm suggesting, I'm really surprised they didn't just add Dominate Monster as an effect costing an extra spell level with the added prerequisite that the duration be first increased to 1 hour.
