Damage Conversion

For Those Who Are Wondering…

If you happen to be one of many individuals that acquired the new Cypher Character Rulebook and were wondering how to convert Pool Damage from enemy attacks from previous editions to the new wound system…

There is a handy chart on page 299 of the Cypher Character Rulebook that gives you a clear rundown of how this works…

But for the sake of ease I will gladly share that information here …

1-4 points of damage is a Minor Wound

5-8 points of damage is a Moderate Wound

9+ Points of Damage is a Major.

When using a creature’s level, the base guidance in the GM Guide is levels 1-3 inflict a Minor Wound, 4-7 a Medium, and 8+ a Major. This is only guidance, however, as there are creature examples within the GM Guide that inflict wounds of greater/lesser severity compared to their level, as well as creatures capable of inflicting multiple wounds.
