Lingering Injuries: How to Run High-Stakes D&D 5e Games 🤕

Follow along here: https://www.flutesloot.com/lingering-grievous-injuries-dnd-5e?utm_source=youtube

I have noticed an issue with low-level resurrection spells like Revivify and Raise Dead. The time limit based on recency of death makes sense, but there are no game mechanics for when a character loses a limb, breaks a nail, burns to ashes, melts in acid, snaps to pieces in a frozen burst, or falls victim to decapitation. My hope is to inspire you to not just use hitpoints as a resource but as a roleplaying signal for injuries.
