Thoughts on the Anthology: Injury & Recovery and Fighting Arts

[Gnosego (Quincy)]

But in the case of our rules, failure to treat light wounds just fucks you up for a while and gives you cool traits. I could be forgetting something, but they don’t kill you.

I believe the Anthology features light wounds that degrade a based on the type of wound. A puncture light wound deteriorates to a midi in 2-12 hours, then to a severe 2-12 hours after that. (Anthology pg. 22)

Some of @Chalk’s FA’s (and some of our discussion about them) can be found here: Witcher Fighting Arts: The Schools of the Wolf, Cat, Griffon, Manticore, and Bear.

And here: Fighting Art: Bloodthirst of the Black Destroyer.

And also here: Three Fighting Arts for the Age of Gunpowder

For injury and treatment, the game master decides on the injury type based on the situation and their judgement. There’s no injury type by weapon. So your GM was feeling real cruel that night. They could have assigned those injuries as abrasions, cuts or whatever.

Thor and I agree that punches and kicks should probably be counted as abrasions. But, uh, sometimes you take a superb shot the to skull from a foot or fist and the internal trauma kills you. So we need to leave that option on the table.

This all has been in-line with my reading, FWIW.
