Blade-related injuries and setbacks are caused by Nat 19 rolls from piercing and cutting weapons such as swords, knives, and axes, but also claws and teeth. **Roll 1d12** unless instructed otherwise. | 1d12 | Trauma | | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | **Pinned.** The attacker may choose to pin the target to a nearby surface (if possible, GM’s call) by piercing their armour, clothing, gear, etc. Breaking free requires a Str check or contest (no action). | | 2 | **Disarmed.** The target is disarmed. The attacker may choose to make a Dex check to catch the weapon in their hand, beneath their foot, kick it away, etc. | | 3 | **Impaled.** The target is impaled, suffering automatic weapon damage at the start of their turn. Unimpaling requires a Str contest (or a Will check if unopposed). | | 4 | **Damaged Gear.** A random piece of Battle Gear is damaged. The item is non-functional or suffers some other penalty until repaired (GM’s call). | | 5 | **Ligament Slash.** Target suffers 1d6 Str, Dex, or Con loss. | | 6 | **Sliced Nose.** Target loses their olfactory sense and 1d3 Cha until healed. Make a *Luck* (Dex) save; on a success, the nose is split but will self-heal with six weeks of rest. Otherwise, the nose is lost. | | 7 | **Shorn Ear.** Target suffers disadvantage on hearing Perc checks and balance-related checks. Make a *Luck* (Dex) save; on a success, the ear is partly shorn but will self-heal with six weeks of rest.

A few minutes stitching by someone with the Apothecary skill stops further hp loss. | | 10 | **Severed Arm or Hand.** Roll 1d6: 1-3 hand, 4-5 below elbow, 6 arm. Target’s limb is severed unless they make a *Luck* (Con) save. On a success, the limb is badly lacerated and non-functional, but will heal with treatment and eight weeks of rest. | | 11 | **Severed Leg or Foot.** Roll 1d6: 1-3 foot, 4-5 below knee, 6 leg. Target’s move speed is halved, they require a crutch or peg leg to walk, and suffer disad on mobility-related checks. Target’s limb is severed unless they make a *Luck* (Con) save.
