If you think we need a simple system to reflect body location-specific damage, or specific rules for specific animals, like "Taking 8+ damage from a wolf means the figure falls to the ground and can never walk again," then by all means write it up! What you suggest could be very cool.

But I think having a simple rule that covers the fact that ALL animals will engage prey (or any target) in HTH as defined by TFT would make for a better game.

As for HOW an animal attacks, this rule says nothing. This is *NOT* a prescription for behavior!!! Puma leaps on you from above? Great! Hope you took Alertness, buddy!

But do you really think a puma landing on you would only do 1d6 (or whatever) and leave you standing next to him, free to use your battle axe next turn?

I don't!
If you want beasties to go into HTH, feel free. I just don't like the idea of putting in a rule that requires it.
