Another optional blood rule

[markoda]

I have been trying to decide a good way for a match with wrestlers bleeding. The 3 token rule I did not like. I have seen other charts and Big Bri set me a really good one.

Well I have decided to use this one.

What I use is the cage rating plus added fatigue tokens. If a move that I see as maybe drawing blood (claw, head into ringpost, etc.) I will roll using cage and any fatigue tokens. If under then the person has started bleeding.

Ex - Tristan vs. Encubus in a Cage match.

Encubus tosses Tristan into the cage headfirst. Tristan would roll 4 or less to start bleeding plus any tokens he may have accrued during the match. Let's say he rolls a 5, he is not bleeding at this time.

Later on during the match Tristan has 2 fatigue tokens. Encubus again tosses him into the cage. This time Tristan would need to roll a 7 or more not to bleed. (Cage 4 + 2 tokens = 6).

If after bleeding, a wrestler gets three more tokens he will miss the next card due to loss of blood.

I have been using this method and relaly seems to mean more if a person bleeds.

I hope you guys like it and tell my what you think.

I think that's a great rule.

I may give it a spin in a week or two.

Thanks.

Good rule!

I also wonder, should the bleeding effect other attributes during the match? Strength, Ropes rating, etc?

I have been thinking about this and there are two ways to go.
1. For simple record keeping just use the injury chart, but count the cards as days instead or just use it for the match itself. The next match they should be ok, since it only takes the body a few days to repair itself with new blood. My cards in LOW are once a week and should be ok for next card. Although if you want to consider they may be opened up again during their next match.

2. You could come up with something more extensive, but for me I am just looking for simplicity. the less stats I have to keep for a match the better. If you have some ideas to expand on this Go for it. I would like to see what you come up with and I may use them. I have taken several expanded charts from the boards myself and tweaked then for my play experience.

Thanks for looking at this optinal rule.
