Fatal Wounds decrease the unit's current Health each turn. The number of Fatal Wounds determine the amount that are lost. For instance, a soldier with 2 Fatal Wounds will lose 2 Health points per turn. Using the Medi-Kit will heal Fatal Wounds and restore some Health. Quickly healing a wounded soldier may also mean less wound recovery time (back at base), because recovery time is based on health at the end of the mission.
Each wound to the head or gun-holding arm also applies a -10% penalty to your firing accuracy, down to but not below -90%. This means that someone with 100 base firing accuracy who has 9 or more wounds will be left with a base accuracy level of 10 points. This is before you consider any other accuracy modifiers such as your remaining health percentage. (Also see Accuracy formula.)
Each wound to the left or right leg reduces the soldier's TUs by 10%.
Each wound to the body reduces the soldier's energy by 10%.
Warning: Unconcious soldiers still take wound damage and CAN DIE if not treated. So if one of your soldiers is knocked unconscious by shots or explosions (as opposed to a stun bomb), it is important that you immediately run a diagnostics scan on him or her. See Medi-Kit and Unconscious for more information on how to do this. Keep in mind that you can pick up and move (or even throw) someone, if you have a man down in a hot zone.
Aliens never get fatal wounds - except if you were mind controlling them when they were wounded. IOW, only friendlies can get FWs, and MC'd aliens count as friendlies. For this reason, be careful of mixing MC'd with non-MC'd aliens - you might reaction shoot the one, and hit the other.
Once I lost track of an alien I'd been MC'ing when a different one blaster bombed the lot of us and all hell broke loose. About ten turns later I heard the entirely unexpected sound of an alien dying, far off in the distance. "Oops" - MikeTheRed
