[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8606949, member: 6701124"] I've always just assume everyone I've played with assumed their characters were accruing minor wounds as their characters hp went down and were roughly aware of that status. I can see the value in a system that gives gradually increasing penalties as you go. It seems strange to me to insist that "hit for five" doesn't give the character any sense at all of their danger/safety based on their current HP unless the DM narrates if it was a scratch or a cut or a bruise or a parry, or let's them know if they're starting to feel winded. It seems kind of akin to a DM making a character act out their social interactions instead of just saying their impressive looking barbarian tried to intimidate the clerk. I'll be interested to see what the individuals in my last few groups thought about their characters' knowledge of HP. [/QUOTE]
