Just spitballing an idea here.

Thinking about Savage Worlds and its “Characters can take three good, solid wounds before they’re hors d’combat” system. It’s simple and I like it, but there’s always the problem of:

1. What check do you use to determine if you take a Wound? Strength + Physical?

1a. Should the attacker roll for damage? If so, what would an appropriate Wound check DC be? 10 + incoming damage? 15 + incoming damage?

2. Does armor apply to your Armor Class or your Wound check?

3. Should you take a penalty for each wound you’re suffering? If so, how much?

4. Should certain monsters have more than three Wounds? Or should they just have a massive bonus on their Wounds check?

5. Should you fail the Wound check on a natural 1?
