Critical Injury list

[Luwingo_Spince]

Ok so I had a afternoon and thought I would tackle critical injuries. This will most likely be in the medical source book if I can get it to the level that I think is good. So I would like some feedback on it. If wording needs to be fixed or more Injuries added or changed mechanics. Thanks in advance. Used a mix of homebrew and EOE Critical injury chart.

Optional Rule: Critical injuries
When rolling for damage a 6 on the wild die can be either rerolled as normal or used as a Critical Injury. If wild die is rerolled and results in a 6 then the same choice can be made.

A Stunned Critical Injury lasts for the rest of the round and for the next round and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as normal

A Wounded Critical Injury lasts until healed and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

An Incapacitated Critical Injury lasts until healed and must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

A Mortally Wounded Injury lasts until healed and if it can must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as two levels higher in difficulty to heal.

Stunned
Stunned characters suffer a penalty of -ID to skill and attribute rolls for the rest of the round and for the next round. A stun no longer penalizes a character after the second round, but it is still "affecting" him for half an hour unless the character rests for one minute.
If a character is being "affected" from a number of stuns equal to the number before the "D" for the character's Strength, the character is knocked unconscious for 2D minutes. A character making an Easy first aid total can revive an unconscious character.

Roll 1D
1 Slowed Down: Suffers an additional -1D to initiative rolls.
2-3 Sudden Jolt: Character must make a Moderate Strength roll or drop whatever they are holding.
4 Distracted: Character cannot perform any free actions.
5 Off Balance: Movement Rate is reduced by 2.
6 Stinger: Increase the difficulty of next action by one level.

Wounded/Wounded Twice
Wounded characters fall prone and can take no actions for the rest of the round. The character suffers a penalty of -1D to skill and attribute rolls until he heals (through medpacs or natural rest). A character who is wounded a second time is wounded twice.
A character who's wounded twice falls prone and can take no actions for the rest of the round. The character suffers a penalty of -2D to all skill and attribute rolls until he is healed. A wounded twice character who is wounded again is incapacitated.

Roll 2D
1-3 Head Ringer: Increases the difficulty of all KNOWLEDGE/PERCEPTION rolls made by this character by one level.
4-5 Fearsome Wound: Increases the difficulty of all STRENGTH rolls made by this character by one level.
6-7 Agonizing Wound: Increases the difficulty of all DEXTERITY rolls made by this character by one level.
8-9 Dazed: Character cannot perform multiple actions in a round.
10 Hamstrung: Movement rate is halved.
11 Overpowered: Character defenses are overwhelmed. Attacker may attack again without a multiple action penalty.
12 Winded: Character is automatically the last to go in a round regardless of the initiative roll.

Incapacitated
An incapacitated character falls prone and is knocked unconscious for 10D minutes. The character can't do anything until healed. An incapacitated character who is wounded or incapacitated again becomes mortally wounded.
A character making a Moderate first aid total can revive an incapacitated character. The incapacitated character is now awake, but is groggy, cannot use skills, and can only move at half his "cautious" rate.

Roll 1D
1,2 Crippled: One of the character’s limbs is crippled until healed or replaced. -3D to all actions using this limb.
3 Deafness: Difficulty for any auditory-based skill or attribute checks is increased by five difficulty levels. If medical treatment is not received before 2D Days has elapsed, the deafness is permanent
4 Horrific Injury: Roll 2D. 1-3 Knowledge, 4-5 Perception, 6-7 Mechanical, 8-9Technical, 10-11 Dexterity, 12 Strength. That attribute is reduced by 1D until this critical injury is healed.
5 Temporarily Lame: Movement rate is reduced by 7.
6 Blinded: Difficulty for any vision-based skill or attribute checks is increased by five difficulty levels. If medical treatment is not received before 2D Days has elapsed, the blindness is permanent.

Mortally Wounded
A mortally wounded character falls prone and is unconscious. The character can't do anything until healed. The character may die — at the end of each round, roll 2D. If the roll is less than the number of rounds that the character has been mortally wounded, the character dies. A mortally wounded character who is incapacitated or mortally wounded again is killed. A character making a Moderate first aid total can "stabilize" a mortally wounded character. The character is still mortally wounded but will survive if a medpac or bacta tank is used on him within one hour (Moderate first aid total); otherwise, he dies. (This is different from healing a character with a medpac; see "Healing.")

Roll 1D
1 Maimed: One of the character’s limbs is permanently lost. Until it is replaced no actions can performed with that limb.
2 Gruesome Injury: Roll 2D. 1-3 Knowledge, 4-5 Perception, 6-7 Mechanical, 8-9Technical, 10-11 Dexterity, 12 Strength. That attribute is permanently reduced by 1D.
3 Paralysis: Character is rendered completely immobile, though he remains conscious. If the character does not receive medical attention, the paralysis becomes permanent after 1D Days elapses.
4-5 Internal Bruising/Bleeding: Character suffers a -2D penalty to Strength to resist damage and must receive medical attention before the effects wear off; failure to receive treatment results in the character’s death within 36 hours.
6 The end is Nigh: Instead of rolling 2D the character rolls 1D at end of round to determine death.

Well either

1. These rules are perfect and no one has any improvements to add (highly doubtful)

2. Everyone is following their mothers advice that if they don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. (Merely doubtful)

3. This topic has been beaten to death and no one cares about it.

4. An inevitable fourth choice that someone will come up with.

So which is it?

[Panzerjedi]

my guess is is in some cases is a little to severe, others, strike me as optional ideas. not every player is enamoured with borging out, willing, or forced...... that said is a good base.

For me, i could see some sort of list for when someone goes mortally wounded. Not just for being wounded or Incap though.

Appreciate the feed back

Panzer- which specifically do you see as too severe?

Garhkal- I think it does make some sense to have critical injuries in those categories.

In the real world you might be wounded by a gun shot but thankfully it hit you in a non vital area of your arm or it broke the bone in your arm crippling your arm until it is healed. Most of these critical injuries can be cured. It provides flavor and consequences to being injured besides the ones you normally incur.

[Panzerjedi]

[Luwingo_Spince]

Ahh I see but none of the critical injuries are permanent with the exception of two of the mortally wounded, maimed and gruesome injury.

Unless you mean that the effects of the injury last with you until you are healed.

Here is what i am talking about:

A Stunned Critical Injury lasts for the rest of the round and for the next round and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as normal

A Wounded Critical Injury lasts until healed and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

An Incapacitated Critical Injury lasts until healed and must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

A Mortally Wounded Injury lasts until healed and if it can must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as two levels higher in difficulty to heal.

Does this need to be modified?

I do like the "Lucked out no Permanent Injuries" Result on each table idea and will incorporate it.

Also perhaps the permanent Injuries in the Mortally wounded section can be traded by a pc for 2 results on the Incapacitated table.

[Panzerjedi]

[garhkal]

Perhaps rather than reduce a stat form injury, limit its max it can get to.

So say a human (normal 4d max for know) gets a TBI, this lowers his max know down to 3d+2. Which may not have an immediate effect, but will curtail what he can boost his know up to.

Thanks for the suggestion Garhkal but I think i'm going to reduce it to 1 pip instead. So here is how it looks now with all suggestions. I bolded the changes.

Optional Rule: Critical injuries
When rolling for damage a 6 on the wild die can be either rerolled as normal or used as a Critical Injury. If wild die is rerolled and results in a 6 then the same choice can be made.

A Stunned Critical Injury lasts for the rest of the round and for the next round and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as normal

A Wounded Critical Injury lasts until healed and can be healed by a medpack. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

An Incapacitated Critical Injury lasts until healed and must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as one level higher in difficulty to heal.

A Mortally Wounded Injury lasts until healed and if it can must be healed by a Bacta Tank/Surgery. Treat as two levels higher in difficulty to heal.

Adhering to the Gamemaster's discretion, A PC may choose 2 results from a lower level of critical injuries.

Stunned
Stunned characters suffer a penalty of -ID to skill and attribute rolls for the rest of the round and for the next round. A stun no longer penalizes a character after the second round, but it is still "affecting" him for half an hour unless the character rests for one minute.

[Panzerjedi]

nods looks resonable..... and does make first aid imporatant.

Still not liking that wounded and stunned levels have a critical injury, but i do like those for incap and MW levels.
