You get a certain number of "Wounds" points. These represent you getting winged and grazed with flesh wounds. After these are gone, any hit you receive goes straight into the crit category where you roll for the result. Anything over a 4 usually results in a fairly grisly death, while anything underneath a 4 results in either you being stunned for several rounds or losing a limb. Seriously, there's at least 50 ways to describe how you die in the core books, divided by which body part was hit and the type of weaponry used. |

"ferocity" might be good instead of "cunning" by Bananadine 03/21/2011, 12:10pm PDT
I don't think you're going to do any better than Cunning and Brutality. NT by Jerry Whorebach 03/21/2011, 12:39pm PDT

Wargames can afford to be open about their mechanics because they actually have by some. RPGs don't have that luxury. 03/21/2011, 2:10pm PDT

And if you find any other cubefarm buzzwords in RPG lingo, remove them. :( NT by laudablepuss 03/21/2011, 3:45pm PDT
Common alternates for initiative are agility & quickness. Maybe reaction? NT by The Happiness Engine 03/23/2011, 10:44am PDT
