For the most part, those characters get knicks and bruises, and slight "flesh wounds."  Random battles don't generate random broken/lost/crushed limbs because when those things happen, the writter is using it as a significant story impact. The story doesn't continue in the same fashion when it happens. It flashes forward to a point where it can continue, and then usually changes scope.For a bit the story becomes all about that injury, as opposed to the same story just dealing with the injury on top of it.Same can/should be true with D&D. If a character suffers some sort of grivious injury it shouldn't (in my opinion) be just a crappy thing to deal with in the next scene. It should impact the scope of the game, and even utilize a "cut-scene."If you're looking for more "realistic" then I can see this being not to your liking... But then again I don't think D&D as a whole has ever beem really suited for that style. (Without significant modification.)</blockquote>
