Sometimes, they just die, but oftentimes they survive, sometimes with an eye missing or a nervous condition, sometimes becoming even tougher. I'd like to see something like this in my gritty D&D homebrew -- partially as a way to mitigate the ease of dropping below 0 hp, but also because it's fun to see a band of grizzled veterans at the end of the game. Are there any good d20 supplements out there with injury tables? Have you ever used them in a game before -- how did the players like/dislike it?Some possibilities for injuries:Leg Injury -- -5 movementArm Injury -- character takes a -2 penalty on attacks made with one of their hands. A shield may still be worn on that hand, but the armor check is increased by 2.Blow to Head -- Character suffers -4 on Initiative checksPainful Wound -- Roll d6,  1= -2 Str, 2= -2 Dex, 3=-2 Con, etcScarring -- -4 on Cha-based checks, threatened enemies are shaken unless they succeed on a Will save(12+1/2 character level)Fearless -- character is immune to fear effectsFearful -- character takes a -10 penalty to resist fear effectsVendettta -- character gains +2 attack/damage versus the enemy that dropped them(if nonhumanoid, the bonus extends to all monsters of the same kind -- ie. all Ghouls)Reopening an Old Wound -- Double the penalty associated with a wound already taken by the character. Roll again on the wound table.Lost an Eye -- -10 to Spot checksSlow in the Head -- always suprised in a surprise roundThat Which Does Not Kill Me -- Character gains +2 ConWeak Consitution - -4 penalty on saves vs. poison and disease</blockquote>
