Reactions to Injury: 5 or more hits in one turn

Thank you Anthony, for the rules clarification, - my son and I thought it had to apply to the next time the impacted character rolled the dice!

So, if I understand the rules correctly, if I elect to simply "defend" for my next "action", then that will effectively serve my -2 DX penalty, correct? However, after I take the 5 hits, for the next turn, my DX is now effectively adjusted to be -2 and that could impact both the order I attack and the odds of landing a hit by a negative 25%! So, really, for a low DX character, it would be wise to "defend" after taking that much damage and try and recover your bearings, if you will, before attempting another attack (unless you're feeling lucky!).
