[QUOTE="glass, post: 8100666, member: 12251"] 3) You wre really hit but not significantly injured. Just like you had to say in prior editions because no hit point loss except the last one impaired you in any way, and you could get them back by resting for four weeks with no medical intervention. Cause Light Wounds spell. Trvially falsified. Also see notes (multiple times) above about healing and impairment. I am pretty sure the "death's door" rule was optional prior to 3e (albeit very commonly used) so you for the purposes of argument you probably should not assume that the 3 hp commoner is going to survive that arrow. OTOH, it is probably more illustrative to assume a 4 hp commoner is hit by that same arrow. He is not incapacitated in any way, and can go about his business without penalties to anything except his ability to resist further arrows (and sword, spears, bizarre threshing accidents etc). If he could afford three days of full bed rest, which admittedly is not a given for a commoner, even that goes away. Even if he cannot, he could live a long life with that one hitpoint (as long as nobody else tries to kill him) and it would never affect his day-to-day life in any way. This is not how real injuries work. Both sentances of this paragraph are literally our arguments to you. Well, with the nuance that there is no single interpretation that is completely consistent with the rules in all cases. But no interpretation less consitant with the rules (of any edition) than all meat point all the time. Except if the commoner is not wearing armour (maybe they are a first-level wizard instead), the exact same rules apply. So by the exact same logic, they must have taken "a fairly minor wound, mostly bruising". As we have been saying all along, they can be hit but not seriously hurt by that hit. QED (again). _ glass.
