Please refer to this guide should you need some inspiration or help figuring out the type of injuries one would sustain after an encounter with another player. These are suggestions, of course, and you may pick whatever you feel suits best with the current wound level at play. It can be a mix of various types of injuries should there be more than one weapon at play; whatever feels right at the moment, so long as you respect the severity.

You will see certain injuries repeat themselves with each weapon, however their degree shifts depending on the amount of force required.

Blade / Slashing Damage

Caused by anything that has one or more sharp edges, used in a slicing manner. Such as; any sword, claws, daggers, axes, throwing daggers or axes, etc. One weapon is not exclusive to one category, however it should be kept in mind how it has been used during the encounter.

• Minor - Cuts, scratches, loss of fingertips or any minimal damage to an external body part
  

• Moderate - Deeper cut, flesh wound, loss of bigger parts (such as an ear, a finger), heavier bleeding
  

• Severe - Bone deep wounds, severed body parts (fingers, toes, ears, eyes), severed tendons and muscles, abundant bleeding
  

• Deadly - Slashed and pierced organs, severed limbs (arm, leg), severed arteries, uncontrollable bleeding

Blunt / Bludgeoning Damage

A blunt instrument is any solid object used as a weapon, which damages its target by applying direct mechanical force, and has no penetrating point or edge, or is wielded so that the point or edge is not the part of the weapon that inflicts the injury. Such as; mace, hammer, shield, blunt edge of a sword, wooden weapons, etc. One weapon is not exclusive to one category, however it should be kept in mind how it has been used.

Examples include knives, daggers, spears, lances, needles, shivs or improvised weapons such as ice picks. One weapon is not exclusive to one category, however it should be kept in mind how it has been used. 

• Minor - Cuts, bruises, shallow perforations
