Re: (TFT) HTH mechanics

Good example: that chimpanzee attack last week on that poor fellow. Got tore
up pretty bad - I'm not even sure he pulled through. Even if he did, as the
saying goes, "That'll leave a mark!"

And these were *chimps* - imagine what P.O'ed Kodiak bear or Siberian Tiger
would do... to say nothing of an Allosaurus or T-Rex...

I think for animals the HTH rules are a pretty good model for reality.
Animals are very dangerous - we tend to forget that in this age of modern,
reliable, repeating rifled firearms. But catch us without a gun and we are
hor d'erves in no uncertain terms.
