I was under the impression that the HP penalty decribed on p. 419 applies to this roll as well. It specifically says that the injury has to be enough to cause a shock penalty (see Shock, p. 419). Why would you get a shock penalty if you get hit in other places but not the head?

Edit: Looks like I am confusing two things. The shock penalty is related to the penalty to your next action, not the HT roll.
