Broken limbs are injuries where bones suffer sufficient damage to become fractured or damaged. A broken limb is also called a fracture.
The amount of broken limbs, as well as which ones, is one of the vital statistics tracked on every contestant in Mazeworld.

The chart on the left indicates all of the possible areas on a human that can suffer fractures:

Red: Head (skull)
Light blue: Chest (Upper body)
Blue: Arms
Orange: Hands
Light green: Hips (Lower body)
Green: Legs
Yellow: Feet

Causes

Insufficient protection against trauma caused by Blunt-type damage, is the most frequent cause of fractures (see Protection chart).
In rarer cases, they are caused by well-aimed shots or attacks striking a bone in the process.

Effects

Denomination: "Broken <limb>" or "Fractured <limb>". Broken limb cause the following effects:

Head: FT+1, Strength -10%. Also called a "skull fracture".
Chest: Pain sensitivity +10%. Also called "ribs fracture".
Hips: Limping.
One arm: FT+1, Strength -10%.
Both arms: FT+2, Strength -20%, Crippled.
One hand: FT+1.
Both hands: FT+2.
One leg: Limping.
Both legs: Crippled.
One foot: Limping.
Both feet: FT+1, Limping.

On non-human creatures

Certain of these body parts may not be present, depending on the creature

Head: FT+1, Strength -10%. Also called a "skull fracture".
Upper body: Pain sensitivity +10%. Also called "ribs fracture".
Lower body: Limping.
One limb: FT+1, Strength -10% per broken limb. If more than one limb is broken, the Crippled effect is added.
One extremity: FT+1 per broken extremity.

Cures

Broken limbs are impossible to cure through medical aids. The contestant will have to wait until he/she finds a medic.
A limb can become unbreakable through the use of certain bionic implants. In this case, it will be able to withstand damage that would normally break bones.

 A limb can become '''unbreakable''' through the use of certain [[Bionics|bionic implants]]. In this case, it will be able to withstand damage that would normally break bones.
-=== Broken limbs on other encounters ===
-For encounters with a skeleton type defined as '''Normal''', the breakable body parts are ALL parts belonging to the following body groups: '''HEAD, BODY, LIMB, EXTREMITY'''. It must be noted that if a creature is noted to have both upper and lower body, then both are breakable (the lower body may have hips or hip-like bones). The rules are different than with humans, as they cannot benefit from [[clothing proofs]]. Instead, in order to break a limb's bone, the victim must have suffered '''at least 25% of Pain''' from a '''Blunt-type''' attack. This, of course, is affected by the damage modifier on attacking a LIMB (0.4x) or EXTREMITY group (0.5x), as well as AC, strength perk and pain sensitivity.<br/>
-If after all calculations, a Normal skeleton-type encounter successfully suffers 25% Pain or more on one of its limbs or extremities, they will suffer '''FT+1 and Strength-10%''', per limb broken. Since the amount of times these effects are mathematically limited only by the amount of limbs and extremities the encounter possesses, do not forget that if, during calculations, FT would go higher than 10, treat it as 10. And if Strength would go lower than 0%, then treat it as 0%.
