Give it a small penalty to all attacks and defenses (something that scales) until magically cured (healing surges, regardless of the trigger, don't count).If the character ever reaches 0 or less, up that modifier to something really nasty, like halving the character's attacks and defenses until magically cured.That way you maintain all the benefits of the systems that are in place whilst adding in something that makes combats that slight bit more realistic and nasty.I was thinking that perhaps you could equate the Bloodied penalty to be half the character's level. So a fifteenth level character would have a -7 penalty and if you've gone past 0, a -15 penalty. Although, that sounds a bit too much...</blockquote>
