[HOUSERULES] Scars...

In Crypts & Things, a character's Hit Points are effectively a measure of fatigue, while his Constitution is the amount of damage his body can take before he dies.

For every attack that causes CON damage (be it through a weapon strike or magic), there is a chance that the hit will leave a scar. This chance is the amount of damage rolled taken a percentage.

For example, a fighter with 3 HP left and a CON of 12 takes a hit from a sword that causes four damage - and therefore costs him one point of CON. There is, therefore, a four per cent chance he will also be left with a scar.

If a scar is called for, roll a d8 for its severity - 1-5: negligible, 6-7: noticeable, 8: major

Getting scarred in combat earns characters experience, as follows:

	Award
Fighters/Barbarians	100 XP x Experience Level
Other Character Classes	50 XP x Experience Level
Major Scar	Double XP Award

These experience point awards are only gained from genuine, life-threatening combat situations - there is no reward for self-harming or injuries picked up in training.
