Scars are the remnants of old wounds that have been partially healed through herbs or empathic self-healing. Scars can be healed by using specific scar-removal herbs or empath spells, but if there is both a scar and a fresh wound on the same location then the wound must be healed first. A character who is healed by an empath will not have a scar.

Minor scars (severity level 1) confer no mechanical penalties to a character. Penalties for more serious scars are similar to those of equivalent wounds, except that scars will never bleed.
