Injury and Death
Â
Characters that run out of HP will be knocked out. If any further damage is done onto them beyond this point, it will kill them. Death being much more difficult to cure than unconsciousness, be sure that you do not let your characters remain unconscious too long. Most foes will happily deal the killing blow if they are given the opportunity.
Poison and disease affect a character’s abilities. Strength, accuracy, spirit and intelligence are reduced by 25% by poison and 50% by disease.
Also keep in mind that those same conditions will harm your character during rest. If a character is unconscious and poisoned, he or she may not make it past the night.
If a condition is beyond your priest / paladin’s skill to heal, temples in towns will offer treatment for a price.
