Hemophilia

From Harath Rules

Cost: -30 CP (1 level only)
Description: You are afflicted with a rare disease that keeps your blood from clotting.
Gameplay: When you are cut, you continue bleeding at the rate of 1 HP per wound until you are professionally healed via magic, surgery, or similar, or until 3 rounds after someone administers first aid.

Alexei is a hemophiliac. One day, he falls down the stairs, taking wounds on 4 separate occasions as he bounces to the bottom. He’s badly hurt by the fall, with a couple of broken bones. Of utmost concern however is the bleeding. His three external wounds are easily bandaged by anyone who happens to be nearby, but the internal wound will be more troublesome. Alexei’s outlook is not good, as the following chart shows:

Round Event Damage HP
N/A Pre-Fall   0 44
1 Falls down stairs 27 - Fall 17
2 First aid given   4 - Int. & ext. bleeding 13
3 None   4 - Int. & ext. bleeding 9
4 None   4 - Int. & ext. bleeding 5
5 External bleeding stops   1 - Int. bleeding only 4

It is clear that if professional help doesn’t arrive soon, Alexei will be in a bad way. He will become unconscious in another 4 rounds, and die in 14. Alexei better hope the doctor arrives soon.
