So I had this "Idea" for more in depth injuries.
All comments welcome.

By receiving 20+ damage in a single hit, roll Fort save (DC=damage).

If you fail, roll a D12 and consult the table.
(By rolling a 1 on the save add * to the effect.)

You receive a wound that, in case of the ability damage, can be healed only by “Treat deadly wounds” rule or Lesser Restoration and similar healing spells. This however does not heal any HP or Ability Points. It merely allows it to be healed naturally or with another spell (Example: Setting the bone back before it can heal.) So if you receive one of these injuries you will need to spend more than just one lesser restoration spell, if you want to be back in action right away.

Similarly the Serious Bleed damage can be only stopped by the “First aid” rule or Lesser Restoration and better healing spells.
(Note: Treat the Con bleed as normal ability bleed.)

The table is a bit ruthless but as stated above, this should represent serious injury.
