Global appeal and simplicity are some of D&Ds great strengths, though it would be great to intro just a little more realism sometimes. You just have to be careful that you don't over-step the line between realism and making a game that only accountants can enjoy.Still, it seems a little silly to me that there are absolutely no ill-effects whatsoever to a character who loses practically all of their HP, but is still in positive territory.Something that may work, without having too much of a negative impact is introducing injury conditions based on health, using Full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and 0 HP. For example, if a character has 100 HP, they receive:No Penalty above 75 HP.-1 Penalty to all actions when on 75 HP or less (3/4 health).-2 Penalty to all actions when on 50 HP or less (1/2 health).-4 Penalty to all actions when on 25 HP or less (1/4 health).Unconsciousness when on 0 or below.</blockquote>
