[QUOTE="Naszir, post: 4086295, member: 55043"] Wound Threshold Anytime a character takes damage equal to 1/3 of their hit points in one shot they take a wound. Wounds can only be healed quickly through magic. Otherwise the character must rest. Wounds also have some negative effects: 1st 1/3 = Battered Effect: May only take a Standard and Move action during a round. 2nd 1/3 = Badly Injured Effect: Movement is reduced by 10'. Catch a Second Wind Second Wind (once per day, when you are at half your hit points or below, you can gain a second wind as a swift action. Doing so heals one quarter of your total hit points) This represents being winded and taking a moment during battle to catch your breath and letting adrenaline kick in. When thinking of this I still have had a problem with how Cure Spells would be used. I think they would have to be changed to longer casting times. Cure Wound will now become a feat or class ability (similar to Turn Undead) and will be tied to Wisdom for the number of times per day it can be used. There is no hp limit on it. Since a wound on Farmer Joe is the same as a wound on Basher the 10th level fighter (a hit doing damage equal to 1/3 of their hit points or more in one hit) it seems only to makes sense to structure the ability to Cure Wounds this way. An additional feat or class ability allows a character with the Cure Wounds feat to Cure Wounds additional times equal to ½ their character level. Cure Wound spells could no longer be spontaneous casting in this case (or even be spells for that matter.) Another thought would be a spell called Vitalize (or something of that nature) that could restore non-lethal damage in the middle of combat. [/QUOTE]
