What would be the consequences of a smallsword wound to the belly? - eviltoast

I’m 24, I practice fencing. My height is 198 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?

    It’s fencing so I would make it a rapier which is 1d8+ Dex. But I agree about the crit. Better hope it’s not a rogue…

      Smallsword is apparently a separate weapon from rapier and 5e listed is as a 1d6. The reason I didn’t add anything apart from crit is because most people have NPC/villager stats so there wouldn’t be any stat bonuses.
