Well OK, yeah but at the risk of getting into a stat normalisation debate (let's not, and say we did) 12+ HT is a high stat, certainly in terms of a general expectations.


And even then lets take HT12 and the lowest possible bleed mod of -4 (so 1 point of damage to the vitals becoming a 3 point wound and no extra bleeding penalty)

you need to make 3 consecutive rolls at 8 which is 0.26x0.26x0.26 = 2%

And of course you are on the clock because you have a 74% of losing a hp every 30 seconds. Of course if it's not a 3 point wound you not only going have more bleeding pens, but you'll have less time on the clock.
