Location
injury:
Character's base injury value is his Toughness divided by 10,
If
a hit inflicts damage up to a character's base injury, it does 1 level of
damage to that location.
Each
level of damage has an immediate and persistent effect.
Immediate
effects only apply as soon as the injury is inflicted.
Persistent
effects continue to apply until the injury is recovered from.
Stunned: A stunned character must
miss the indicated number of turns. He may only defend himself in close combat,
at half normal WS, and may not counter-attack.
Stunned
characters cannot be pinned.
Bleeding: Add D3 Damage points to a
character's injury total at the end of every turn for each bleeding wound.
System
Shock:
System shock value is Toughness divided by 5. if a character suffers damage
points from one hit equal to or greater than this value he must pass a
Toughness test or is taken out of action.
Injury
total:
Record all Damage points suffered by the character.
Consciousness: If the character's Injury
total is equal to half a character's Toughness, he is out of action.
Instant
death: If
injury total is greater than character's Toughness, he dies.
This
occurs if a system shock test is failed, by failing unconscious, or suffering
automatic system shock from location injuries.
An
out of action character is at the mercy of other players, and can be captured,
executed or what ever they feel like doing. An out of action character can be
dragged away. Also if attacked in combat they are hit automatically in a
location chosen by the attacker and counts as a critical hit.
At
the end of every turn a character can take a toughness test. If passed D3
injury points are removed from his injury total. Add +1 for every full 10
points their toughness is over 50.
A
character may spend actions attempting to recover. Specify location and make a
Toughness test. The character recovers D3 Damage points as described above and
the specified location is healed back by one injury level.
A
character cannot normally reduce injury level by more than two levels from the
worst injury suffered in that location.
A
character may spend actions to help another character recover.
A character can always attempt to recover at the end of the turn unless noted otherwise, even if they are stunned or otherwise unable to perform any actions. Out of action characters don’t normally get to recover.
