Call me weird, but I kind of like the disease track. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Anyway, what I was thinking was something along the lines of this:Critical WoundA particularly devastating attack seems to have ruptured something.Attack: Special; if a creature suffers critical damage, roll a saving throw after the encounter. Add a cumulative -2 penalty to the saving throw for each critical attack suffered during the encounter. Failure results in a Critical Wound.Endurance improve DC 12+level of the attacker, maintain DC 9+level, worsen DC 8+level or lower. Special: If the target suffers additional critical attacks while suffering from Critical Wounds, the target must make a saving throw after each encounter as with the initial attack, or immediately worsen.Track:CuredInitial: The target loses a healing surge that cannot be regained until cured.Secondary: The target loses all current action points and cannot gain action points from milestones.Final Stage: The target is slowed. The target gains Lethal Injury.Lethal InjuryThe pain is unbearable, and you are bleeding internally.Attack: Special; if a creature falls below 0 hitpoints due to critical damage or suffers the final stage of Critical Wounds, make a saving throw after the encounter. Add a cumulative -2 penalty to the saving throw for each failed death saving throw. Failure results in a Lethal Injury.Endurance improve DC 14+level of the attacker, maintain DC 11+level, worsen DC 10+level or lower.Special: Whenever the target fails a death saving throw while suffering from Lethal Injury, the target must make a saving throw after each encounter as with the initial attack, or immediately worsen.Track:CuredInitial: Before the target attempts to use a daily power, it must spend a healing surge. If the target has no surges remaining, it takes damage equal to it's healing surge value.Secondary: As with the initial effect, but using a daily power requires 2 healing surges, and using an encounter requires 1 healing surge.Final Stage: The target dies.------------------------So, any thoughts? TPK? Too clumsy, perhaps? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />EDIT: Realised that I'd forgotten to add any mechanism to reverse this condition other than making skill-checks (such as a ritual). Feel free to come up with something! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
