All they get are my descriptions. I base them off the amount of hit points the character normally has and how much are remaining. Here are a few examples from yesterday's session:"The ghoul bites and claws at you, but you barely even feel it, though you may have lost a little hair." (To a wildshaped druid with 58 hp who lost 5)"Unable to defend yourself, you feel multiple claws and teeth bite into your flesh, and everything goes dark" (same druid when she was paralyzed, attacked by a number of ghouls and got taken from 28 hp to negatives in one round)"The orc's greataxe crunches off your armor. Even though it fails to penetrate, you'll be feeling that one for a while" (fighter with 84 hp taking 20 pts from a single hit)"The ogre brings its club around in a huge arc to bash into your helmet. The blow would have killed a lesser man, and you feel just like a bell that got rung, but you're able to withstand the effects. You doubt you could do that again"  (barbarian with 88 hp taking 47 pts from a crit) Been doing this for the last dozen session, and so far it hasn't caused any problems. Only one player out of five had an issue with it.</blockquote>
