This option adds more detail to the mechanism for wounding characters. Replace the first paragraph of Section 9.3 in the New World 2E rule-book with the following: When a maiming roll results in a wound, it represents a grievous injury that seriously impairs the character’s actions. Each wound that the character receives reduces an ability rating by one, thereby reducing the number of action dice that can be expended for it. Make a D6 roll and consult the Extended Wound Table to determine which ability is affected, as well as other outcomes. The player whose character is wounded can opt to make guts the affected ability rather than what is rolled. Wounds are cumulative, reducing action dice until none remain or the character is taken out of play. Check an appropriate wound box for each wound received by the character for the specific ability. Extended Wound Table

	1			Head hit; apply wound to brains ability
	2			Torso hit; apply wound to brawn ability
	3			Left Arm Hit*; apply wound to brawn ability; drops gear held in that hand; cannot attack with this side
	4			Right Arm Hit*; apply wound to brawn ability; drops gear held in that hand; cannot attack with this side
	5			Right Leg Hit*; apply wound to brawn ability; cannot climb or jump
	6			Left Leg Hit*; apply wound to brawn ability; cannot climb or jump

* If the designated side is not exposed to the attack, the other side is affected. If both arms are wounded, no attacks can be made. If both legs are wounded, no movement other than crawling can be performed.
