When a character or monster is brought to 0 hit points, he is considered to be dead, unless he makes a 1d20 Check vs. his Constitution. If he scores less than or equal to his CON he is wounded and unconscious, but can be revived if healed to 1 hp.
If he fails the CON roll, he may attempt a second CON roll to survive, but looses 1 point of CON permanently.
If he fails the 2nd CON roll, he may attempt one more CON roll, but looses 1 point permanently from 1 randomly rolled ability score. If he fails the third CON check, he is dead.
While player characters and henchmen can always attempt these CON rolls, it is entirely at the Judge's discretion whether other NPCs or monsters may do so.
If the character is healed to 1 hp or above, he’s back in the action.
Resting without travelling or fighting, with some food and shelter, heals 1d3 hit point of damage per day. Each day a resting character is treated with a dose of Woundwart, he heals an additional 1 hp.
A character with the First Aid Skill can heal 1d4 hit points of damage. This must take place within 1 hour of the damage being taken and only one attempt can be made per person per battle.
Magic spells and potions heal hit points as indicated in their descriptions.
