(+ whatever debilitating effects you want to have).  My PC was able to make an "aaack" sound, and could nod her head.  From 3/4 to 1/2 Injury, the character might be able to sit up, and moves (only if needed) at 1/4.  Character takes -15 on all d20 rolls.  (Other effects based on the type of injury)  My PC will be able to speak slowly here and for short periods of time.  From 1/2 to 1/4 Injury, the character can move up to 1/2 movement and character takes a -10 on d20 rolls. (Again, other effects if you want them.)From 1/4 to 0 Injury, the character can move up to 3/4 movement and -5 on all d20 rolls.So back to my example, if my character with 15 CON damage, 5 CON drain, and 20 Injury points, with only un-nursed (no Heal checks) care, just be rest, would need at least 8 days to regain the 15 CON damage.  This would heal 1 Injury point.  The character would need another 14 weeks of rest to regain up to the full amount of CON healed at this point.  The other 5 CON and 5 Injury points could not be healed with normal bed rest!  This would require magic to fix!  Without the magic, the character would be stuck at 1/4 injury damage, would only be able to move 3/4 speed, and take -5 on all d20 rolls!Hope you like the system.Aluvial</blockquote>
