Yay, trauma.

You get trauma points when an attack is particularly devastating - it drops you to wounded, makes you unconscious, deals a good deal of damage, or is a critical hit.

Trauma builds upon itself. While a single critical hit to the arm may not be life-threatening, another one might be.

TABLE: TRAUMA - LOCATION

d10	Location
1-3	Leg
4-5	Arm
6-9	Torso
10	Head

This table is different for different profiles (so a creature with wings would have a different table, etc).

Also, the roll is modified based upon the size of the creature attacking and the size of the defender. An ogre hitting a halfling is much more likely to hit his head, for instance, than his legs.

Trauma Tables

Yay, trauma tables.
