So, sadis/tg/uys, how do you handle mutilations and really bad wounds in your games?
Is it a really bad thing to have an enemy that could manage to cut out an eye or hand from a pc, knowing that they could get it replaced/stitched back in not really much time with the use of magics and exotic arts, in a 3.5 setting?

Pic unrelated, sorry furfags

Definitely had some characters get really fucked up and lose multiple limbs.

If the game is permitting, it makes for interesting roleplay/character development.

I like it. Adds character. My last RT character lost an arm, leg, eye, liver, kidney, hand and then developed cancer. Bless forge world alliances.

It's my opinion that if your combat/damage system can't, natively, in SOME WAY, handle maiming, then you have a bad combat/damage system.

3.5e is one of those systems. Every monster that attempts to be able to maim characters always crams itself awkwardly between hit points, ability damage, and some third form of damage that's only defined by itself and regenerate. It's kludgy and terrible.

My last 3.5 character got coup de graced at one point. I made the fort save, but the GM made him lose an ear. I was pissed off at the time, but I think it was well done in retrospect, since it implies the enemy tried to stab him in the head and barely missed.

Yeah, this isn't that relevant to the thread. Oh well.

You could steal the mortal wounds table from Adventurer Conquerer King. It would slot into pretty much any edition of D&D, just replace Save vs Death with Fortitude or whatever for newer editions.

Any time a PC hits low enough numbers to die or become unconscious, healing them up also involves rolling on the mortal wounds table. Modifiers for magical healing or getting deep into the negatives. Roll badly enough and it's chunky salsa time, high enough and you get a cool scar and in the middle you're castrated or lose an eye.

Inherently, no.
But I believe one should bend the setting to make it so that "repairing" a character is either very difficult or incurs a dire cost, or that it's so easy to do that, in turn, limb loss is frequent and can be expected to play a part in any fight.

Either make dismemberment serious or exciting, not "no big deal". Same applies to death.

I am currently working on embedding loss of body parts and other grievious injury in my own system. As of moment they can result only on a critical hit or through massive one-time damage, but I'm considering additional results for total damage exceeding the threshold for massive damage on a single hit zone.

As for the setting, there are ways to repair these effects either through magical healing (very rare, expensive, has risks) or mechanical replacement (everything depends on the quality you want, takes time to adapt to the new body part).

Pic sorta related.

My GM in an upcoming pathfinder game is using a system where, if you get hit for more damage than your CON score, you have to save to avoid dismemberment/scarring. He's also restricted magic so that finding regeneration spells is pretty much impossible.

We'll see how it goes

Three things that payers tend to take extremely poorly are gear loss, level loss and limb loss, usually in this order. So you're gonna need pretty mature group not to turn this into shitstorm.

what I do is I built it into the combat, weapons have a lethality rating, when someone is hit in an unarmored spot or with a damage type that ignores some or all of that armor's damage resistance or AC then you roll for severity of the wound with the weapons lethality added on, that is if the attack hit.
Once you do determine where the wound is and that enemy gets a status effect of "Wound X" where X is the severity of the wound from the lethality roll.
Unless its just a broken bone with no piercing of skin or organs or a burn then they lose X health per turn until the wound clots or it is healed. Some wounds are so severe they kill them instantly. Some wounds are permanent and leave a scar (which in my game counts as a "Wound 0")

The rule of thumb for me is that for every lethality roll you roll a constitution check if the location of the wound is in the viscinity of a vital organ to living. They need to beat the lethality roll with that con check or die.

Not everyone rolls in a setting where magic or advanced cybernetics are commonplace. Sometimes the only replacement you get is peg leg and oversized metal pincers.

How did medieval/renaissance people control that kind of mechanical prosthetic limb? I mean, they obviously didn't have miniaturized computers wired to the nerves in their stump like the most advanced contemporary models do.

Usually there would be some extremely sensitive tensed springs in the "socket" part of the prosthetic, so the person could activate certain movements by flexing particular muscles in the stump. Or there would be a couple of buttons on the exterior of the limb that you'd have to reach across and trigger with your good arm.

In any case, there would only be a couple of gestures/positions that the limb could assume. They looked cooler than they were.

Perhaps some sort of mechanism activated by a spring or air pouch held under the arm pit? The pneumatic version wouldn't have very much of a grip, and it wouldn't be able to hold for very long, but it would serve as a decent party trick if nothing else.

The way I've been homebrewing grievous injuries goes like this: If anyone gets a crit there will be a minor affliction (broken fingers, severe burns, fractured ribs, sprained ankle, temporary blindness). If a character's HP goes down to 0 they are knocked out and have to roll not to bleed to death. They also get a serious injury (severe concussion, broken back, or at the worst a missing limb / gouged eye).

After getting revived, the character can either clone a limb (takes a long time), get a normal replacement (can be rejected), or use cybernetics (can be rejected, vulnerable to electrical attacks, but can host all sorts cool weapons and abilities).

>>43257822
Because people will show up to complain about or just talk about furries. This will bumb the thread.

Now I'm imagining a setting where, due to the odd conditions of magic, it's easy enough to graft animal parts to a person, but harder to do so with human parts (something something essence conflict and equivalent powerlevels arcanobabble doesn't work as well) - so most limb/part transplants are conducted with inhuman bodyparts.

Then you get into the cosmetic extremist fashionistas like OP's pic.

Depends on game system and setting.

Games like 40k see a lot of mutilations due to the rules but also have methods for fixing lost limbs and damaged organs.

Low magic fantasy setting that has practically no regenerative spells has been houseruled a bit to make permanently destroyed limbs less common for PCs so we altered the actual rules because making the characters get permanently crippled after few unlucky rolls in combat is not fun. But permanent damage IS still possible and has happened, even if it is a bit unlikely. Same kind of rules would probably be used in some historical games with no magic or modern medical technology.

High fantasy setting where lost limbs can be restored or replaced with magical/magitek solutions will similarly have such permanent damage appear even if it will be later restored.
