Being Shot Reduces Max Health

[Taggert1313 37]

It seems a tad unrealistic to me that you could be shot 3 time, then just bandage yourself up, eat an entire cow and be fine. Or even get a blood transfusion. What if when you get shot your maximum health goes down by ~15%-20% of the damage you received. This would represent a frailness of your body that isn't instantly fixed by health items. Then this maximum penalty would slowly fade away over time, say +1 max blood a second till you are back to normal.

Sounds kind of silly, and it would be more of an annoyance than anything. I suggest making zombies harder.

You can be killed in 1 shot at full Blood.

Sounds cool, I support it, however it should slowly come back to max over time.. simply because I don't want to be completely helpless if I get shot a couple times on my way out of Elektro.

I agree with something like this. (The theory, exact numbers may need tweaking, etc)

It would mean you have to be more cautious after being shot, even if you shoot back and win then heal. You would have a penalty, damage that you can't do anything about. You must simply wait. So if you run and gun down 10 people and each of them shoots you once or twice, by the end you are beaten down and far weaker. You have to hide and be careful until you regain your strength and full blood capacity.

If you die in one shot, well you know what? Then you're dead. I don't see how those posts contribute to this thread. You could say that for half the suggestions here but it doesn't help in any way.
