[QUOTE="Rexwell, post: 9400059, member: 6883569"] Thank you! I actually saw at that doc but missed that section somehow. I think I like this interpretation better; however, after reading that again and thinking, I don't think that is actually what is printed in my core book: Page 172 [B]Critical Wounds[/B] [COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)][B]Critical Wounds[/B] are most commonly suffered in combat when something really wants to hurt you. The two most frequent sources of [B]Critical[/B] [B]Wounds[/B] are when a [B]Critical Hit[/B] is scored, or when you lose more Wounds than you have (see Combat on page 159 for more on how Critical Hits happens).[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Okay...this seems clear if armor deflection is used to negate [B]Critical[/B] [B]Hits[/B], like the designer's notes say. But: Page 299: [B]Critical Deflection[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)]This only occurs should you choose it to. If you suffer a [B]Critical Wound[/B] from an incoming attack on a location protected by armour, you can choose to let your armour be damaged by 1AP in order to ignore the [B]Critical Wound[/B].[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]So unlike the designer's RAI, RAW is armor critical deflection is not the Critical Hit but the Critical Wound, which should include hits when you have no Wounds left. I have to say; I have always thought that the RAI interpretation was what the rules actually said. And prefer that a little more (maybe). But just recently I realized that it wasn't so clear.[/COLOR] Very interesting! [/QUOTE]
