Bloodied

[crossfirecreek]

Hi all,

I’ve been spending some time reading all the 4e stuff that has been posted here (I’ve been pleased so far). I’m trying to find more information on how ‘bloodied’ affects things.

I know what it is and that it can trigger actions (like immediate breath weapon attacks—sweet!) But is there anything else with it? Is there some kind of modifier when you are bloodied?

I don't believe there's been any concrete confirmation of a general "bloodied" penalty beyond the ability triggering, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

I asked the same question: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=220434

Per some of the playtesters, it doesn't sound like there are any actual penalties associated with being bloodied.

That being said, many people on EnWorld are making up houserules already to cause more affects to happen with Bloodied.

Look at this thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=220496 and this one: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=220487

In all the games I played at DDXP, none of the players or monsters had any generic modifier for when they were bloodied. Some, like the Gnolls, had extra damage when they were bloodied, and extra attacks when their opponents were bloodied, but it was on a per-monster, case-by-case basis.
