Then simply make it from a single attack. Much less of a hassle to track of, anyway. i.e. Imagine a monster hitting for 10 damage, then, later in the round, hitting again for 1 damage because of a opportunity attack or something, would this trigger the "11 damage wound threshold"? Common sense would say of course not, lots of small damage may a big damage make, but lots of small wounds do not a big wound make. Anyway, this would require tracking the damage of ALL opponents. A micromanagement nightmare, really.

Common sense indicate that it should be damage from a single attack. Even a "double strike" thing should be two attacks.

I really need to nail this down soon because we start play in less than two weeks.
Hm, I fail to see how writing "got 2 wounds" on my character sheet is much different from writing "got a -2 penalty on my endurance checks". In both case, you've got to track a number.

See my next post for my humble suggestion...
