Burn Damage
Burn damage may occur from a brief application of a hot object as in a blow or from exposure to a source of flame or acid of various strengths for various lengths of time as when a character’s clothes have caught fire. A character may be exposed to a source of damage on one body area or several simultaneously. The rules cannot be prescriptive about all circumstances and, more than in any other area of injury, the GM must use her discretion.
The following table gives some indication of the intensity of sources, time of exposure and extent of damage:
| Source | Exposure Length | Extent of Damage |
|---|---|---|
| Candle | 1 round | - |
| Candle | 5 rounds | - |
| Candle | 1 minute | Minor |
| Candle | 5 minutes | Serious |
| Torch | 1 round | Minor |
| Torch | 5 rounds | Minor |
| Torch | 1 minute | Serious |
| Torch | 5 minutes | Mortal |
| Campfire | 1 round | Minor |
| Campfire | 5 rounds | Serious |
| Campfire | 1 minute | Mortal |
| Forge/Lava | 1 round | Serious |
| Forge/Lava | 5 rounds | Mortal |
The effects of burn damage are cumulative. Three minor areas of burn will result in shock, three serious areas of burn in slow death.
A minor burn takes two weeks to heal a serious burn two months. A mortal burn will not heal without the application of herb lore or magical intervention.
Up to one minute, all armour will protect against burn sources below forge level however leather and padding will then ignite and metal armour will heat up. Forge fires will damage through armour after 5 rounds. Once heated or ignited the armour itself will then continue to do damage even if the source is removed.
| Burn | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Area | Minor | Serious | Mortal |
| Head Face Neck | blind scarring stun | scarring shock | instant death |
| Body | stun | scarring shock | slow death |
| Limb | stumble/fumble scarring stun | crippled shock | slow death |
| Hand Foot | stumble/fumble stun | crippled shock | crippled shock |
Fall Damage
The damage sustained from falls results from a combination of the fall height and the surface impacted upon.
Fall heights and surfaces are each given a value in the range of -3 to 4.
| Fall Height | Value | Surface | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0’ -10’ | -3 | deep light snow drift | -2 |
| 11’ - 20’ | -3 | deep water | -1 |
| 21’ - 30’ | -3 | loose sand/ light foliage | 0 |
| 31’ - 50’ | -3 | soft turf/dense foliage | 1 |
| 51’ - 100’ | -3 | turf | 2 |
| 101’ - 200’ | -3 | packed earth/solid timber | 3 |
| 201’+ | -3 | stone | 4 |
Add the value for the fall height to the value for surface-type. This is the Feat Level. If the Feat roll succeeds the character is uninjured. If the roll fails by one Feat Level the character has minor injuries to d4 areas, if the roll fails by two or three Feat Levels the character has serious injuries to one area and minor injuries to d4 areas, if the roll fails by four Feat Levels the character has mortal injuries to one area and serious injuries to d4 areas, if the roll fails by five Feat Levels the character dies instantly. If a character has an Edge of agility or similar applicable Edge and uses it they may deduct 1 from the Feat Level.
Fall injuries will be a result of crush damage, roll the damaged areas randomly. Armour will reduce the damage to protected areas by one level of seriousness for each point of protection.
