No really, how does damage work?

[Nikchick]

A character cannot take a second occurance of the Disabled or Staggered injury levels, but instead automatically take the next level of injury (Unconscious for Staggered and Dying + Unconscious for Disabled).

What if the character takes a wound? Is it the next stage, or just a wound?

These changes, all be it only in interpretation, certainly make the game less deadly

That would just be another Wounded (with the accompanying Dazed). Nothing more, nothing less...

Just so you guys don't get too up in arms about no one answering, I thought I should pop in and let you know that Chris, Steve, Robert, and I are all in the UK at the moment (most of us without reliable net access) and aren't monitoring the boards until we get back and get caught up sometime next week.

Not up in arms, just worried and concerned .

Thank you for the update, I appreciate it (psst guys, the moderators aren't looking, let's trash the place ).

Ha! Ya'll have had your fun, I'm afraid. Now that you've caught my attention, I'm pulling in the Mod Squad from the M&M boards to use their Super Mod Powers before anyone sets the curtains on fire.

Curtains? There are no curtains. There never were any curtains. And yes, this coat is well padded for the winter. *hurried exit*

What are you guys doing over here in the UK? GenCon?

[Nomad4life]

Multiple wounds, huh? Looks like I’ve been using the damage mechanic wrong this whole time, although the “new” way does remind me more of the similar M&M mechanic, now that I think about it.

If you acummulate daze wounds. Does each daze wound stun you for that round?

[Tim Gray]

If you acummulate daze wounds. Does each daze wound stun you for that round?

Yes. In fact, that is the main effect of wounds beyond the first (as well as longer healing time).

Yes. In fact, that is the main effect of wounds beyond the first (as well as longer healing time).

...and the -1 per Wound/Daze to future toughness saves (of the appropriate type of damage - as per Hurt/Bruised)...

Can you try to recover during combat? say, from a disabled status?

[FickleGM]

Can you try to recover during combat? say, from a disabled status?

I would say, yes...provided Conviction is used...

[reverend keith]

Can you try to recover during combat? say, from a disabled status?

Conviction allows you to take an immediate recovery check. If you are short of Conviction (and are using Blue Rose magic items), you can always drink a Healing Elixir for the same immediate bonus recovery check.

[Zulgyan]

Why not recovering during combat by simply rolling a Constitucion Check?

[reverend keith]

Why not recovering during combat by simply rolling a Constitucion Check?

Recovery rolls are constitution checks at a DC of 10.

If you let characters make recovery checks every time they are wounded, you are going to end up with some very long combats.

[FickleGM]

Why not recovering during combat by simply rolling a Constitucion Check?

I would only agree with this if the proper amount of "rest" time has been observed. I would think that this "rest" time would be hard to come by during combat, but if your party can cover you while you rest and recover, I would probably allow it.

[Tim Gray]

Why not recovering during combat by simply rolling a Constitucion Check?

Even the lightest damage requires a minute of rest for natural healing. The benefit of spending Conviction or using magic is that you can do this more or less instantly.
