[QUOTE="ZzarkLinux, post: 6868058, member: 77932"] Based on your example, and my earlier example, it sounds like all blunt-weapon attacks should do ongoing damage. "Whenever you take bludgeoning damage, you start losing 1HP per round" could do well to simulate real combat and shock, and add urgency to seek healing before it's too late. Suddenly, Giants and Golems are a real threat like they should be... and wizards everywhere will be terrified again. Slashing weapons, I dunno. I guess it can stay "each attack gives a minor scratch" kinda deal. Piercing weapons need a diagram of valid points where someone can be "hit with an arrow" and still be fully functional 6 round later. Something like [URL="http://img.tfd.com/dorland/point_pressure.jpg"]this diagram[/URL] would help DMs greatly, instead of saying "the tribal orc stabs you again, in the same hole as the last time, and you lose 5HP". Hopefully WotC gives us these tools in 6e. [/QUOTE]
