Edit: Greater than HP/2 to cripple, not at least HP/2.

The difference is huge. A HT10 person is quite likely to survive the arm wound, and if he does bleed out, would take a minimum of about half an hour to do so (Possibly much longer). The later faces possible death in only 4 minutes, and is unlikely to survive without aid.

Sorry yes I had forgotten that about limbs wound mods, very good point.
However you then still have the basic premise that wounds to the neck and face are as immediately damaging as wounds to the torso?
