Dmg Lingering Injuries

Dmg Lingering Injuries Symptoms

Just wanted to get people's take on the Lingering Injuries optional rule in the DMG (p. Background to the question: initially, I was well-disposed toward this rule, because I like grittier, AD&D-style combat (and injury recovery rules).

5e Dmg Lingering Injuries

A 'lingering injuries supplement' should include new ways to inflict and cure lingering injuries. Well I guess you have the recovery thing, but that's it. You could write up rules for torture devices, combine it with expanded madness/insanity rules, salves that remove or preserve scars, proper rules for helmets. That sort of thing would make.
After getting feedback and doing more research, I created a significantly expanded Lingering Injuries table as found in the DMG. When a player is dropped to 0, they take a lingering injury upon regaining consciousness.
