Strength loss v Fatigue Loss

Hi Chris, everyone.
There are places where I want the rules to be simple, and there are places where I am willing to accept some complexity. Damage is in the latter area.

***

I actually have THREE types of damage.

-- Damage. This recovers at 1 point / 2 days.

-- Fatigue ST Loss. This recovers at 1 point / 15 minutes.

-- Subdual Damage. Which are the bruises and strains from non-lethal damage. (See "Taking Prisoners" on page 26 of AM.) This recovers at 4 points / 2 days.

On my standard TFT character sheets, I have a space for all three points of damage, each in their own area.

I agree that this is more complex, but it is worth it to me. I LIKE being able to do non-lethal damage. Also it makes sense to me, that you would recover from it at a faster rate. Since I have subdual damage anyway, some of damage which I hand out (e.g. the first few points of falling damage), can be in subdual as well.

Warm regards, Rick.
