[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 8606929, member: 6667921"] I've seen [I]bloodied[/I] mentioned a few times already. It's interesting to note that it does a lot more in 4e than just signal the half-way mark of a creature's hit points. The first time a creature drops below 50% of its hit points, it will sometimes trigger an immediate reaction, or recharge a power to use it right away. Dragons are a prime example of the latter, using its breath weapon immediately even if it hasn't recharged it yet. [I]Bloodied[/I] can also be viewed as a state that enhances certain abilities, or gives the creature new options. The wounded creature becomes more dangerous, increasing its damage on some attacks. In a sense, bloodied signals for an escalation in the fight and keeps the tension mounting. If I were to bring that over into 5e, I would want to bring all those things related to it as well.
