Wounding (weapon quality)

The wounding quality was a weapon quality that induced the loss of blood.

Powers
A weapon with the wounding quality caused blood loss for those that were hit by it. However, the victims needed a discernible anatomy to suffer from this property. Therefore, creatures like constructs or even plants were unaffected by it.

To craft weapons with the wounding quality, the crafter required knowledge of how to create magical arms and the spell Mordenkainen's sword.
