View source for Wound Thresholds (3.5e Variant Rule)

===Threshold Effects===

When you are '''Grazed''', you take a penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, caster level, and AC against critical confirmation rolls equal to 1/5 of your CR (Minimum penalty of -0), as well as having your movement speeds reduced by 1/5 (Rounded to the nearest 5ft increment; Min -5ft), but not below 15ft. Thus a level 20 Human PC who is Grazed would take a -4 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws and AC against critical confirmation rolls, and would have their land speed reduced by 5ft.


When you are '''Bloodied''', you take a penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, caster level, and AC against critical confirmation rolls equal to 1/3 of your CR (Minimum penalty of -1), as well as having your movement speeds reduced by 1/3 (Rounded to the nearest 5ft increment; Min -5ft), but not below 10ft. Thus a level 20 Human PC who is Bloodied would take a -7 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws and AC against critical confirmation rolls, and would have their land speed reduced by 10ft.


When you are '''Injured''', you take a penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, caster level, and AC against critical confirmation rolls equal to 1/2 of your CR (Minimum penalty of -2), as well as having your movement speeds reduced by 1/2 (Rounded to the nearest 5ft increment; Min -5ft), but not below 5ft. Thus a level 20 Human PC who is Injured would take a -10 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws and AC against critical confirmation rolls, and would have their land speed reduced by 15ft.
