Message: <blockquote data-quote="BookTenTiger" data-source="post: 8157780" data-attributes="member: 6685541">Okay, here's a new variation for the Vitality Points.Wound PointsPurpose: Wound Points replace Death Saving Throws. Wound Points are used in conjunction with the Staggered Condition. Because staggered characters will continue to be the targets of attacks, the Wound Points system allows characters at 0 HP to take more hits, but still risk dying. The risk of dying due to Wound Points will increase over the course of an adventure.Wound Points represent life-threatening injuries that would kill any ordinary person. Because Wound Points are an abstraction, a blow dealing 40 Hit Points of damage and a blow dealing 1 Hit Point of damage deal the same amount of Wound Points - a knife in the back can be just as dangerous as a tyrannosaurus's bite. However, note that this rule does not replace Instant Death. If a character at 0 Hit Points receives damage equal to their Hit Point Maximum, they will still die, no matter their Wound Points.Receiving Wound Points: A character receives a Wound Point...<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">when they are hit by a critical hit.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">when they enter the Staggered Condition.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">when they take damage while in the Staggered Condition.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A character receives 2 Wound Points when hit by a critical hit while in the Staggered Condition.</li> </ul>Dying from Wounds: There are two ways for a character to die from Wound Points:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When a character's Wound Points equal or exceed their Constitution Score, and they reach 0 Hit Points, they die.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When a character's Wound Points equal double their Constitution Score, they die.</li> </ul>Healing Wound Points: Spells and other effects that heal Hit Points do not heal Wound Points. Instead, Wound Points heal over time. After a week of downtime, a character heals a number of wound points equal to 4 + Constitution Modifier. (For games without much downtime, this can be changed from a week of downtime to a day of rest.)</blockquote>
