Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
Not disagreeing with anything anyone else has said but I beleive there's a HT roll to remain conscious in here right as you drop below zero. Another one every second.Turn for thsoe who aren't dead too.

Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
You make consciousness checks on your turn unless you Do Nothing. AFAICT you never have to roll them otherwise.

Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
Hrm, I guess my groups ended up throwing them into the wounding as a time saver. We never got a lot of people choosing Do Nothing after being seriously wounded anyway.

Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
Well, it does have an odd effect that I never considered: if you're stunned or surprised, you can only Do Nothing, so you cannot fall unconscious until you come unstunned (or make an IQ roll to come out of surprise). I'm not sure what practical effect this has, but it's a bit of a Murphy's rule (I'm so surprised that I can't even fall unconscious due to wounds!)

Re: Overkill on a Mozambique drill
Also, if you use the optional rules from High Tech for bullet injuries, you can't do more than HP damage to the torso. So two shots to the torso won't reliably put someone down fast enough. Popping their brain pan will.

There are plenty of real life examples of people being incapacitated but conscious while they bleed out. I don't really consider this a Murphy. |
