Painful Stabs
After each attack the owner makes, every hit that dealt unblocked damage to a player adds Wound cards equal to the stack count to that player's discard pile. Hits that Osty absorbs do not count, and fully blocked hits add nothing. Wound is an Unplayable status card.

Test SubjectNotes
The Test Subject gains 1 stack on its first revival at 200 HP (212 on the Tough Enemies ascension) and loses it again on the second. Its Multi Claw hits 3 times and grows by one hit each use, so partial Block quickly means several Wounds a turn. The power survives the owner's death, which is how it lasts across the revive.
Rules and timing
It only counts damage from Attack cards and enemy attacks. HP loss and damage dealt by relics, potions and other powers do not count.
Changes by version
- Test Subject monster's Painful Stabs power now properly gives Wound cards even when its owner dies to Thorns power
- Painful Stabs power no longer flashes if Wounds were not applied
