Deep Wound

Health Bar Effect

In-game description:

Condition. While suffering from this injury, your maximum Health is reduced by 20% and you receive less benefit from healing.

Notes

• A Deep Wound will never reduce the maximum health of a character by more than 100, even if that character's original maximum was over 500.
• The healing reduction from Deep Wound is 20%.
• The Health bar of a creature suffering from Deep Wound will show 20% greyed out, even if it accounts for less than 20% of that creature's health.
• Cruel weapon upgrades lengthen the duration of Deep Wound by 33%.
• As with all effects that alter maximum health, inflicting a Deep Wound also lowers the target's current health by the same amount. This adjustment will never kill the target, but can bring them down to 1 health and can also give a health deficit, requiring you to be healed for a certain amount before your health rises above 1 again.
