Portray the character as seriously injured. There isn't a whole lot more "suck it up" left in the old tank. Another good shot at that exposed rib / leg / whatever injury and he's going to be out for the count. He'll do his best (fighting at full combat ability), but he's precariously close to being taken down for good.The Paladin can help with some support, but until the party has enough time to do some serious medical treatment and give his body a chance to recover (extended rest) this character isn't up for a whole lot of punishment.The other characters in the party should respond to this - defending their comrade, providing him cover - etc. Likewise, that character may have to focus on making some ranged attacks and taking supporting actions for the last couple of encounters - unless the circumstance or opportunity looks so serious that he's willing to risk almost certain doom.It adds drama, I suppose.- Marty Lund</blockquote>
