Attacks that cause wounds should be rare, such as magic weapons of wounding, deadly poisons, high level precision attacks, and possibly firearms and seige weapons.Considerations: * The characters encounter survivability is reduced, but not drastically. * The characters daily survivability is reduced. * Makes very little difference to non-heroic creatures. * Very little paperwork, just record the number of wounds. * In the longer term multiple wounds can become very dangerous.What do you think?</blockquote>
