| Note that it is possible for an over 100% chance to get an Affliction; in this case, the unit may gain an additional one. If a human with 10 HP took a 15 HP hit, they would be guaranteed one Affliction and have a 50% chance of gaining another; which would only matter for the purposes of ??Bolt of Unlife??, ??Life after Death??, [[Twiceborn]], and other forms of coming back from zero HP, of course. One can only imagine how mangled a body would be after receiving ??Gifts from Heaven??, for instance, or how handicapped a ??Dragon?? would be after their human form took a bite from another Dragon. | Note that it is possible for an over 100% chance to get an Affliction; in this case, the unit may gain an additional one.

| | Afflictions have two broad categories: **Minor** and **__Major__**. |
| | ^ Body Part ^ Minor Affliction ^ __Major Affliction__ ^ |
| | | Any | **Battle Fright** | | |
| | | | **Profuse Bleeding** | | |
| | | Head | **Eye Loss** | **__Dementia__** | |
| | | | **Mute** | **__Feeblemindedness__** | |
| | | | | **__Blindness__** | |
| | | Chest | **Chest Wound** | **__Diseased__** | |
| | | | **Never-Healing Wound** | | |
| | | Arm | **Weakened** | **__Lost an arm__** | |
| | | Leg | **Limp** | **__Crippled__** | |
| ===== Hit Area ===== | ===== Hit Area ===== |

| Hit area is very important, as you can't lose an eye by being hit in the toe, or lose an arm through a cut to the face. The areas are **Head**, **Arms**, **Legs**, and **Torso**. The Torso is the most likely area to be hit and the Head is the least likely to be hit, if both the attacker and the defender are the same [[Size]]; bigger attackers have an easier time attacking the Head, however, smaller attackers have an easier time attacking the Legs, (unless their weapons are long enough to adjust). | Hit area is very important, as you can't lose an eye by being hit in the toe, or lose an arm through a cut to the face.

The Torso is the most likely area to be hit and the Head is the least likely to be hit, if both the attacker and the defender are the same [[Size]]; bigger attackers have an easier time attacking the Head, however, while smaller attackers are limited to attacking lower parts of the body (if their weapon reach isn't wide enough). |

| * A __**Lost Arm**__ deprives the subject of one of their [[items|item]] slots: a hand slot. Also, both commanders and troops lose the use of their shield (if they have one) or, if they were using a 2-handed weapon, they switch to their fallback attack (usually a Fist). If someone runs out of arms, they'll be reduced to "uselessly" kicking foes. | * A __**Lost Arm**__ deprives the subject of one of their [[items|item]] slots: a hand slot.

| * One interesting note is that, if a unit would take more than half their max HP in damage from a blow to the arm, it is capped at half their max HP. If the damage is from a {{:abilities:resist_slash.png?15&nolink}}**Slash**, however, the arm always pops off. | * One interesting note is that, if a unit would take more than half their max HP in damage from a blow to the arm, it is capped at half their max HP. If the damage is from a {{:abilities:resist_slash.png?15&nolink}}**Slash**, however, the arm always pops off. This damage-capping also applies to the legs, though they don't have an equivalent affliction, and to the head if it's not needed. |

| * Speaking of, __**Blindness**__ from either brain damage or an unfortunate strike across the face comes with a -9 penalty to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision. A Blind mage can still engage in magical [[Research]], somehow, but certain magic is forbidden to them; ??The Eyes of God??, for example. | * Speaking of, __**Blindness**__ from either brain damage or an unfortunate strike across the face comes with a -9 penalty to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision.

| * **Muteness** from brain damage (or a damaged tongue) reduces all of a commander's Leadership scores by 75%, and applies a negative "pathboost" penalty to each of their [[magic]] paths; this "boost" is half of their skill in each path, rounded up. If the ability to speak is restored, the old magic skill is restored. | * **Muteness** from brain damage (or a damaged tongue) reduces all of a commander's Leadership scores by 75%, and applies a negative "pathboost" penalty to each of their [[magic]] paths; this "boost" is half of their skill in each path, rounded up.

| * __**Dementia**__, or absentmindedness, weakens the subject's mind and their connection to things as they are. The demented fellow has a -2 penalty to [[Magic Resistance]], both their Leadership and their Research ability **reduced by 50%** (indicating time wasted staring at nothing), and occasionally waste their time in battle to stare at nothing. | * __**Dementia**__, or absentmindedness, weakens the subject's mind and their connection to things as they are.

| * To be "__**Feebleminded**__" is to suffer either serious brain damage or a severe cut in one's sense of self, such that **spellcasting is impossible**. Becoming feebleminded also breaks whatever Global Enchantments or Battlefield Enchantments you were upholding. Other effects include -5 Magic Resistance and -1 penalties to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision. | * To be "__**Feebleminded**__" is to suffer either serious brain damage or a severe cut in one's sense of self, such that **spellcasting is impossible**.

| * **Losing your Head** is technically an affliction, yes, but the effect is death for most units. It's only attainable in the same fashion as the guaranteed arm loss; being hit with more than half your max HP's worth of damage in the area, by a {{:abilities:resist_slash.png?15&nolink}}Slash. | * **Losing your Head** is technically an affliction, yes, but the effect is death for most units.

| * {{:abilities:recuperation.png?nolink }} **[[Recuperation]]** is a unit trait that allows units to "recuperate" (self-heal) from afflictions. They have a **chance** to recover from one or more of their afflictions at the start of each month. Old units with Recuperation //don't// have Recuperation, however. | * {{:abilities:recuperation.png?nolink }} **[[Recuperation]]** is a unit trait that allows units to "recuperate" (self-heal) from afflictions.

| * {{:abilities:healer.png?nolink }} **[[Healer|Healers]]** can "heal" afflictions on themselves and on others in their province, but only as many as their trait's point value indicates. The Healer trait does not work on the [[Undead]], nor on [[Inanimate|Inanimates]]. There's also a version that only heals Diseases. | * {{:abilities:healer.png?nolink }} **[[Healer|Healers]]** can "heal" afflictions on themselves and on others in their province, but only as many as their trait's point value indicates.

| * {{:abilities:immortal.png?nolink }} **Resurrection** through the [[Immortal]] trait, or through being recalled (as a [[Pretender God]]), comes with a single burst of Recuperation. Alternatively, some units [[shapechanger|change shape]] instead of dying in battle; in most cases where they **cannot** do this freely, this counts. | * {{:abilities:immortal.png?nolink }} **Resurrection** through the [[Immortal]] trait, or through being recalled (as a [[Pretender God]]), comes with a huge burst of Recuperation.
