Re: (TFT) A Point of Damage

[catchy24528@mypacks.net]

Yeah, you're right, except in my system (which I'll admit is geared more toward skirmish style), damage above the various thresholds doesn't count, but when they go down, they're down.

A way to have negative HP is to start the character with negative ST equal to the wound type that brought them to 0.
If it was a light wound, then they start at -1. If it was a mortal wound, well then they're dead. Their ST drops by 1 per round until they are at -ST, then they're dead.

I didn't see it as snarky at all (I just didn't read to the end of the post!)
