If you want to use that kind of descriptions, even if you know that your character is mechanically able to function, then it's your narrative choice. It reminds me of John McLane from Die Hard, Marve from Sin City or William Wallace in Braveheart (the scene where he runs around with two arrows in his chest).You can describe your injuries anyway you chose. The alternative is that your DM describes all that and you play along. "How the *bleep* I still be standing with all that going on? Well, I suppose I had some inner strength I wasn't aware of before" (if you like to play in first person). After the action is over, you come up with some explanation how he pushed the intestines back inside and sewed himself up.The arrows are represented in game by, maybe, 3d8+12 damage in total +20 poison damage. The fireball, maybe 3d6+6. The bear, let's say 3d6+15. Mechanically, your character lost a total of 6d6+3d8+53 damage, he was down, but got again with a healing surge. That's it. How you chose to describe it is up to you.</blockquote>
