[QUOTE="JRRNeiklot, post: 5941657, member: 717"] I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty athletic, played ball in college, so I'll use that as a familiar ground. I pretty much kept my knees skinned up, such that I still have scars around my knees, and I still can't grow hair on my left calf. A really bad strawberry is a wound. It hurts like hell, and the scabbing makes it such that you can't bend your leg very well. That's a wound. It's not life threatening, but it makes everyday things like climbing stairs difficult, much less actually kneeling. A bad blister on your ankle or heel will make even walking difficult. That's a wound. In D&D terms, these are similar to wounds a pc would get, though through a different mechanism. A gash in your leg, a mace to the ankle that doesn't quite break the bone. Get hit a dozen times, you have a dozen of these for your body to heal. They hurt, they make things you'd ordinarily do with ease difficult. And they do not heal overnight. [/QUOTE]
