Whenever you take damage that reduces you to 0 HP, you suffer a Grievous Wound.  That character has Disadvantage on all rolls determined by your Wound roll until it is healed.  A Critical Hit or a hit of 50+ dmg that drop a character to 0 HP may incur a double roll.  Double rolls refer to the Lingering Injuries table in the DMG p272.Roll 1d6, unless circumstances dictate a particular condition.1. Beaten - Strength2. Broken - Constitution3. Crippled - Dexterity4. Disoriented - Intelligence5. Dazed - Wisdom6. Scarred - CharismaWounds are recovered through Cure Wounds of 20+hp, the Greater Restoration spell, a Medicine roll DC 25 (one check per wound) after a Long Rest, or 3d6 weeks of rest (3d4 weeks if maintaining a “Comfortable” lifestyle).</blockquote>
