Mortal

Since you are mortal, falling in combat weakens the threads that bind your destiny to the world of the living.

If you fall unconscious because your hit points drop to 0 you receive a Serious Wound. You are able to accumulate a total of as many Serious Wounds as your Constitution modifier (at least one). If your hit points drop back to 0 and you have already accumulated your maximum number of Serious Wounds you will die instantly.

Hit points recovered by magical means beyond the maximum hit points may help you recover from your Serious Wounds. If a healing spell or a magical effect casted on you exceeds your maximum hit points, you can recover from one Serious Wound for every 10 points above the maximum. For example, if you currently have 23 hit points, 28 maximum hit points, and have already suffered two Serious Wounds, if you receive a healing of 15 hit points or more you will recover from a Serious Wound. If the healing is 25 hit points or more, you can recover from both Serious Wounds at the same time.

If you finish a long rest you can recover from a Serious Wound by succeeding on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. If you have received appropriate medical attention you will have advantage on the recovery check. A result of 1 on this roll means that your wounds has become infected and worsened, causing an additional Serious Wound. If you cannot suffer this wound because you have already accumulated the maximum number of wounds, you will die while resting.

Serious Wounds need to be treated for 10 minutes once a day with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check. A character with the Healer feat will have advantage on this roll. To do so, two uses of healer's tools (a bandage and an antiseptic) will be required. A success on this roll will mean an advantage on the patient's next Constitution roll to recover from the wound. Serious Wounds can be treated by the same character who suffers them or by another character.
