I got in a fight, and ended up a tad maimed. What effect does this actually have? I seem to be up and about as normal, but I'm assuming there's got to be something bad…
Is being maimed a bad thing

Best Answer
Maimed is bad
It reduces the character's accuracy and all defensive stats by 15. It leaves the character with a single health and endurance point.
More importantly, if a maimed character loses that health point, they die.
Since their defenses are crippled and enemies have a penchant for going after weak targets, chances are the character will not survive another combat.
How to Cure Maimed? Sleep it off
If you want to save the maimed character, avoid combat until the party can rest by making camp or getting to an inn.
How does this work with permadeath?
If you are playing with the permadeath option, there is no maimed status. Characters die as soon as they reach 0 health points.
