Yeah; it's possible to survive limb loss within the realms of my game, but you
*will* require treatment of a fairly powerful nature quite urgently and very
rapidly. Normal medical treatment can quite possibly be sufficient (especially
if its a normal limb), if obtained quick enough, but really, once you lose a
major limb, you're looking at requiring magical assistance. If you're tough,
and/or part of a tough race, you may not be in such bad trouble - Trolls for
instance, can survive limb loss (minor) without treatment, and have a chance at
major loss, due to their regenerative abilities. A halfling is screwed if
something gets chopped off.
Ditto for other various injuries. Incidentally, magical healing is desirable
for a number of other reasons - limb regrowth, to avoid scarring (which occurs
if bad wounds heal naturally), and so on.
