-==== Battle Damage ====
-When a character is reduced to **negative Wounds** by an attack or effect, they suffer **Battle Damage**.
-Roll **1d4** on the appropriate damage table.
-Battle Damage represents **temporary injuries** that can be mitigated with:
-  * A successful **Heal check**
-  * A **Full-Round Action**
-Each Battle Damage result is tied to the **damage type** that caused it.
-If the triggering attack reduces the character to **more than half their maximum Wounds into the negative**, roll **1d6 instead of 1d4**.
-----
-===== Energy Damage =====
-**1–2) Singed (DC 15)**
-The character is **Winded** from the pain of burned, charred, or frozen skin.
-**3–4) Deep Burns (DC 15)**
-The character must succeed on a **Will Save (DC 15)** or be **Staggered** for as long as they have this Battle Damage, due to deep tissue damage.
-**5) Flare Up (DC 20)**
-The energy overwhelms the character’s senses as their body fuels the attack.
-Flip a coin:

-  * **Tails:** The character is **Blind**
-**6) Beautiful Transcendence (No DC)**
-The energy refuses to stop at a single limb—the character //must// experience more.
-Roll **1d6** to determine where the energy travels next:
-  * 1 – Left Arm
-  * 2 – Right Arm
-  * 3 – Body
-  * 4 – Left Leg
-  * 5 – Right Leg
-  * 6 – Head
-That limb immediately suffers **2d6 Wounds** of the same energy type.
-If this damage would cause Battle Damage, it is **automatically Beautiful Transcendence**.

-**1–2) Battered (DC 15)**
-The character is **Winded** from the pain of the beating.
-**3–4) Bell-Ringing (DC 15)**

-**6) Utterly Broken (DC 25)**

-----
-===== Piercing Damage =====
-**1–2) Stuck (DC 15)**
-The character is **Hindered** by the deep puncture wound.
-**3–4) Oozing Puncture (DC 15)**
-Each round, the character must succeed on a **Fortitude Save (DC 10)** or lose **1d4 Wounds** from the affected limb.

-**6) It’s Over, Guys (DC 30)**
-The wound is simply too deep—death is now slow and inevitable.

-The character is **Winded** from the pain of the vicious gash.
-**3–4) Muscles Severed (DC 15)**
