When using the damage-to-armor rules, it has HP too, so if you look at it like "the shirt is wearing the cape" ?

The weird thing about "injury, not damage" is when we look at stuff like Vulnerability (B161) is it "applies a special wounding multiplier to damage that penetrates your DR"

So if you had a x4 wounding multiplier from Crushing Damage, injury sustained from Blunt Force Trauma wouldn't be increased at all... which seems strange, they seem like very similar ideas.

Funny enough, this would also mean you'd take more damage from cutting weapons that only slightly penetrate DR (converted to crushing) than those which extremely (x2) penetrated it (keeps as cutting)
