Damage Effects

Getting hit in the legs should reduce your athletics skill by half.
Getting hit in the body should reduce power strike/draw/throw by half.
Getting hit in the head should make you blind or deaf or dead.

I vote for all three.

[Fraemi]

Getting hit anywhere should reduce your fun/willingness to play by 1/1

Getting hit in the crotch should make your char sing with a high voice.

but seriously, I like that idea - It would make the game absurd unmotivating so no noob would play, cause it's so realistic. It's worth a try ... I'd like to see something that realistic even once in a game.

this would make people rage when archers wound all inf

[Panoply]

This would only really work if the following conditions were met:

1. Massively upped the soak on armor, so attacks and projectiles are deflected a lot more.
2. Are a masochistic gamer.

lol, half. yes, one hit, by a lvl 1 char should definetly cripple me in full armor, makes perfect sense.

Getting dumped by your wife should make your character miserable (or happy!).

If this idea is actually implemented in some form I expect the loss of skill to be scaled based on how damaging the hit is.
