Make a Stun Save by rolling under the character’s Body Type on a ten sided die subtracting any modifiers from your current wound level. If failed, the character is stunned and can take no action until the player rolls a successful Stun Save. Limb Loss occurs if a limb takes more than 8 points of damage from a single attack. The character must make an immediate Death Save at Mortal 0. Head hits that inflict 8 points of undoubled damage kill automatically.

At Serious Wound Level the character is at -2 to his REF.

At Critical Wound Level the character’s REF, INT, and COOL are reduced to half rounded up.

At Mortal Wound Level the character’s REF, INT, and COOL are reduced to one-third rounded up and must make a Death Save.

Make a Death Save, if the character has been mortally wounded, by rolling under the character’s Body Type on a ten sided die subtracting the level of Mortality each round until they are stabilized with medical attention. Medical attention is defined as a successful First Aid skill check vs. the current damage taken. If the roll is successful, the character is stabilized and healing can commence. If the roll is failed, the character must make additional Death Saves every minute at an additional -1 penalty per minute.
