New revisions to wounds make them more deadly. Each wound you accrue now confers a -1 penalty to all actions you take. This is reflected in the Hero Creator. Mighty is no longer reduced when you take wounds. There is now a new status to describe having 0 HP called vulnerable, which just means you accrue wounds when at 0 HP.
