Major Injuries are the second tier of 🤕 Injury. A limb gains a Major Injury when its 💔 Cripple Threshold is reduced to 0 by damage above the limb’s maximum Cripple Threshold.
The target may roll an 🏊 END + 🏕 Survival Test (DC 10 + damage above threshold) to receive a Minor Injury instead.
For robotic creatures, Major Injuries are called Major Malfunctions.
See 🤕 Injuries for the full escalation rules.
Major Injuries by Limb
| Limb | Major Injury |
|---|---|
| Head | 😵💫 Knocked Out |
| Torso | ❣ Internal Bleeding |
| Arm | Broken Arm |
| Leg | Broken Leg |

Major Injuries require named treatments from the 📋 Treatment Table:

- 🧪 Resuscitation — for 😵💫 Knocked Out
Treatment Quality (Proper / Adequate / Improvised) determines the ⚕ Medicine DC. See the Treatment Table for full details.
For robotic Major Malfunctions, the equivalent action is 🔩 Fix Malfunction using a 🧰 Toolkit or ⚪ Uncommon Scrap.
