Do you mean "wounding" instead of "damage"? Why would that change anything? I understood it to be "loss of 1 hit pt" but that'll only happen once a day.

Yes, loss of one hit point.
As written, the ability is already restricted to use once a day, so the automatic HP loss would be too, obviously.
This addition would mean that an armored character is not getting off free by shifting the hit location, and would align with the concept of 'Ow, my leg'.

As I said, not worth adding the text or the record keeping.
The Perk user was already not getting off "free". He paid a pt for the Perk.

Rules for Perks should be short and snappy and not develop odd little side-paths.

Meh.
I bet I could write it quite snappy enough.

I'd condense that into S.O.P. "Always carries EDC" and then define those objects as the EDC.

Not the physical objects. Accessories as "being to produce the effect of the object without having the object".

That's one way, but I'm not sure as to why bother listing such items here, the list is truly unlimited.

But still, if a Player wanted that many Accessories at once, I'd steer them towards SOP "EveryDay Carry", sure they can lose those items, but they will probably also be given moments to replenish their EDC, especially if it's a Perk. If they were really worried I'd let them also take Signature Gear to cover their EDC as added protection.
