Wounds

External Wounds
External wounds may be received when a mob scores a critical hit against a player. Wounds accumulate and lower the maximum health of the character. For example, a character with 1200 HP and 200 External Wounds (EW) will have an effective maximum HP of 1000. If your total EW exceeds your maximum HP, you will be left with 1 HP. The max amount of EW a player can have is 30,000.

Internal Wounds
Internal wounds are not properly implemented yet, but they work in a similar fashion to EW. The only difference is that these affect your Vital Energy instead of your Hit Points

Healing Wounds
There are currently 3 ways to heal wounds:
 * Have a doctor heal you.
 * Have a healer use a wound recovery skill on you.
 * Use a wound recovery item.
