Some people cannot be hit with a LARP weapon for OOC reasons. If you wish to attack a character played by someone who is non-contact '''do not strike or swing with your weapon'''. Instead you must be close enough to strike them, '''point''' your weapon at them and call damage as though you were striking.

=== Hits ===
'''Hits''' are your character’s measure of health.
* A PC starts with '''three hits'''.
* You can gain more Hits by wearing armour or buying certain skills.
* You lose one Hit each time you are struck, unless modified by a [[Calls|call]]. Some ranged calls can also cause you to lose Hits.
* Hits are '''non-locational''': no matter where a blow lands, you lose Hits from the same single pool.
* Hits can be recovered during a game by using skills or items. If you are in a safe situation, you can spend a short period of appropriate roleplay to recover all your Hits.

=== Dying ===
A badly beaten character can become '''Dying'''.
* When you are reduced to '''zero Hits''', you become Dying. You must fall to the ground (as soon as it is safe to do so).
* While Dying you '''cannot move''', defend yourself or use skills.
* While Dying your character is '''still conscious''' (unless you choose to roleplay otherwise) and can talk or scream.
* A PC starts with a bleed count of '''90 seconds'''.
* You can pause a dying character’s bleed count with continuous appropriate roleplay. If you do this for 60 seconds uninterrupted, you may call CURE 1 on them.
* You stop Dying immediately if you regain any number of Hits.
A Dying character who is not healed in time is mortally wounded. In Breaking Worlds, this is called '''‘Marked for Death’'''.
* If you are Dying and you reach the end of your bleed count, you become '''Marked for Death'''. You may be healed, but will die if you are reduced to zero hits again or at the end of the session (whichever is sooner). If you are Marked for Death you may also choose to die at a dramatically appropriate moment.
* A [[Humans|human]] or [[fay]] character who dies may, at the player’s option and only if their body is safe, be resurrected as a [[Wights|wight]] at a future session.

=== Complications ===
If one of your limbs is hit by the {{Call|CLEAVE}} call, it is ''ruined'' and cannot be used until it is healed.
* If your arm is ruined, you cannot use that arm to carry anything.
* If your leg is ruined, you cannot walk (or hop) or stand unaided.
* Ruined limbs can be healed using the {{Call|RESTORE LIMB}} call. [[Wood]] Channellers and characters with the Surgery skill can use this call.
* The Dissection skill can be used to ''sever'' limbs. In most regards this is the same as being ruined, but it is much harder to heal; {{Call|RESTORE LIMB}} on its own is not sufficient to regenerate a severed limb.
'''Wounds''' are serious injuries that add complications and difficulties to the sufferers’ lives.
* Wounds are represented by cards given to a character by a Ref.
* Each wound has a roleplaying effect and may also have a mechanical effect.
* Under most circumstances Wounds can only be healed using the Surgery skill, or by visiting a healer in downtime.
