Or something like that.

I think that such a dice roll should be triggered by a certain amount of damage--perhaps a major wound--so that attacks that barely penetrate DR don't cause instant death.

Something like: In the event of a major wound, roll 1d6. On a 1, an aorta has been ruptured*. On any other result, roll HT or suffer from a Heart Attack.

*Roll HT-10 every round and lose HP equal to margin of failure due to blood loss. Without Magical, Supernatural, or Super-science intervention, there is no way to stop this blood loss.


This would be in addition to increased bleeding for any heart wound.
