Talk Injuries

Use your imagination, if a PC hacks a guy for a bunch of damage you can say the guy is wounded in some way, maybe his arm is broken, or maybe the blade bit deep into his side and now he's bleeding bad. That's the best way to deal with it instead of putting a bunch of rules in that may or may not be fucked.

Are we talking D20 or something like D20, you may need to be more specific.

And honestly, this sort of thing should be decided on a case by case basis. Usually no more than a few minuses to skills or stats. Though if you're running ng in a D20 style game, healing is so commonplace!ace that these off the cuff minuses dont tend to endure.

The System is Dungeonslayers, it uses only d20 roles. Your roles have to be lower as your check to pass it.

So rather than roll over X its roll under?
OK, so, injuries put you at between +2 and +6 to certain rolls, where plus is...negative...
That is so unintuitive.

Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

When I was a kid in the early 1990s, I wrote an essay about the Comics Code Authority.

Just had a flashback to that with OP's picture (it was one of the reference pictures).

Look up games that already have injury systems, draw inspiration from those.

Roll under systems typically hve modifiers apply to the target number, not the number rolled, in order to keep +/- intuitive.

iirc 5e DM's guide has a scar system.

Essentially whenever someone drops to 0 they get a nasty scar.

Alternatively you can say that every crit does something nasty to the body of the person you are hitting.

Create or borrow a table of temporary and permanent injuries

Whenever anyone is reduced to 0 HP or less and incapacitated, roll on the table to see if anything bad happened to them. You can even add any damage they took over their maximum HP to the roll and have higher numbers mean a worse result.
