You have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. You are disfigured to the extent that the wound can't be easily concealed. Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the lost part. Any of these also suffer the consequences of a horrible scar. If it's an eye, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight and on ranged attack rolls, if you lose both eyes, you're blinded if it's an ear, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing, if you lose both ears, you're deafened if it's the nose, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell if it's teeth, you must make a concentration check to cast spells that require verbal components, if you lose teeth again it's considered you've lost your tongue. The DM determines which feature based on the narrative or by rolling 1d6. A creature might sustain a lingering injury when it drops to 0 hit points but isn't killed outright, which requires requires a Constitution saving throw with DC 15 or half the damage received (whichever is higher) to see if a character suffers an injury rolled on the Injuries table. This option introduces the potential for long-term injuries.

Lingering Injuriesĭamage normally leaves no lingering effects. Also, any thoughts on how you handle these situations is welcome. I'd like very much to read your opinions on my homebrews: anything you liked or didn't like. Also, Wounds are an adaption of the Wounded condition from Pathfinder 2. Lingering Injuries and Massive Damage already exist as optional rules in teh DMG but I have modified them so the effects would better fit other existing mechanics in the game I tried my best to keep every effect at least comparable to conditions and pre-existing rules in the game - I don't like homebrew stuff that make up things not actually fit into the 5e's design philosophy. I'd like to show you a few homebrewed rules I have made for making dropping to 0 HP more significant and dramatic.
