[QUOTE="Pentius, post: 5661448, member: 6676736"] Well, for bloodied, I usually narrate it as the first hit to draw blood(why yes, I do enjoy terrible puns). Previous hits may have been glancing blows, but the attack that puts a target in bloodied has finally landed. For surges, I tend to treat them as being representative of the will to go on. When you spend a surge, it may not mean that your wounds seal up(though with a divine healing spell or potion, this may well be the case!), but it does mean that you can push through. I also tend to run mechanics together in narration, for example: Mechanically: I get hit, and become bloodied. On my turn, I use Second Wind. Narratively: The blow is turned aside at the last moment, but still leaves a deep scratch above my cheek. The blood begins to drip down my face. Taking one hand off my sword hilt, I wipe away the blood and stare down my opponent. The look on my face says clearly, "That's the last hit you'll get on me. From here on out, your blood will spill."
