Lingering Injury Rules

During the course of battle a creature might sustain a lingering injury from the damage they take. The chance at a lingering injury happening, is under the following circumstances;

• When you drop to 0 hp from damage.
• If you take more than 1/2 your max health points in a single instance of damage.
• Roleplay Based, such as cutting off a finger for a ritual. DM's discretion.

If any of the things listed above happen you must roll a Constitution saving throw with the DC of 10 or half of the damage you received (whichever is higher). If more than one condition is fulfilled you must roll for each one. To determine the nature of the injury, determine the type of damage that triggered the injury and roll on the appropriate table below that corresponds to the damage type. If multiple types of damage caused the injury, use the type that dealt the majority of damage.

• Successful Save: nothing happens
• Failed: Gain a Minor Injury
• Failed by 10 to 19: Gain an Intermediate Injury
• Failed by 20+ : Gain a Major Injury

A Lingering Injury can only be cured out of combat.
