From bf2301f04d48d1a82df8c7a4e70e843203470ffe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Huntington Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:52:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix wounded: only applies when first gaining dying, not on increases Wounded adds to the initial dying value when knocked to 0 HP, but does not affect recovery check failures or damage taken while already dying. Fix simulator logic, diagram labels, and reference text accordingly.

Key Rules

  • Recovery Check is a flat check (no modifiers) with DC = 10 + current dying value, made at the start of each turn while dying.
    • -
  • Wounded is added to every dying value increase — being Wounded 2 and failing a recovery check means dying increases by 3 (1+2).
    • +
  • Wounded is added only when you first gain the dying condition — being Wounded 2 when knocked to 0 HP means you start at Dying 3 (1+2). It does not affect recovery check failures or damage taken while already dying.
  • Doomed X reduces your death threshold from 4 to (4−X). Doomed 1 means dying 3 kills you. Decreases by 1 per full night’s rest.
  • Heroic Recovery: Spend all Hero Points at the start of your turn or when dying would increase. You lose the dying condition and stabilize at 0 HP. Wounded does not increase from this.
  • Nonlethal KO: Reduced to 0 HP by a nonlethal attack causes Unconscious with no dying condition. You wake naturally after 10+ minutes.
