[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 4543564, member: 55178"] I don't know, I'd consider broken limbs to be a whole heck of a lot "too gritter." It seems like it would only complicate the interaction between an abstract damage system and what a gritty feel would want a broken leg to be. In a gritty campaign, a broken leg should do significantly more than just slow you down, and sitting and catching your breath for 5 minutes shouldn't heal it. [EDIT] Not that I find it to be particularly "Fourthy", but how about an added "Permanent" condition which could only be removed with big magic or weeks of bedrest? Somehow you manage to break an arm. For all intents and purposes, you're dazed and weakened till you get back to the city for a month, or you find somone who can cast a "fix your broken arm" ritual. Broken leg? Dazed and slowed. The main thing I dislike about these is that it opens up the door for, beyond 2 arms and legs, "What about a broken wrist? What about a compound fracture vs a clean break? What are the individual penalties for each finger?" These are all questions that I do not miss in my game. [/QUOTE]
