Re: (TFT) Experimental Injury and Healing rules - comments appreciated.

[ErolB1@aol.com]

Just one comment: If you're looking for both "simple" and "realistic" I'd 
suggest dropping the -2 Dx for taking 1/2 St in a single injury and the -3 Dx for 
being dropped to St 3 or less. 

I dropped these long ago myself, admittedly because I was looking for 
something less gritty than the standard rules, but since then I've encountered strong 
and (to me) convincing arguments that "death spiral" rules such as these are 
*not realistic* - that they're actually "grittier than reality." 

To sketch out the argument, people in real-life combat are often so pumped up 
that they don't even notice very serious (even lethal) injuries, and they 
don't suffer reduced combat ability for anything short of a biomechanical effect 
- i.e. a wound that completely cripples (or removes) an arm or leg.
