A PC at half HP looses 1/2 movement from bleeding, trama, etc.2. Death at 0 HP.3. Each blow bleeds.  Keep track of how many times a character has been hit, and for each hit the character looses an additional 1 HP a round.  For even deadlier games, the bleeding is half the original damage, including critical blows.  4. Healing, magical or not, only heals one wound at a time, so slapping on a CLW no longer stabilizes the Barbarian with 20 wounds.5. A character at 25% HP has a chance of passing out each round.  A Fort save is needed to keep from passing out.  Other characters can Aid Another to assist the roll.  (as seen in movies, "STAY WITH ME!")6. Poison does 1 point of ability damage each round up to the maximum allowed, in lieu of rolling.7. Critical hits severe fingers, hands, feet, limbs.8. Healing via magic works at a rate of 1 HP per round up to the amount rolled, instead of instantly.  Only one healing spell may be in effect at a time.</blockquote>
