Myself included. But assigning damage as grievous wounds goes against the spirit of 4E.No mention of physical injury other that punisment or glancing blows, neither of which lend themselves to being "gaping chest wounds."Also, they specifically mention regaining hit points through heroic resolve.After rereading this section of the PHB I would describe any hit as a glancing blow, a punishing hit (but not wounding) or a miss that winds you when you have to exert the effort to dodge it. A hit that drops a character to Dying status I would describe as one punishing blow too many that causes the character to go down. Will he die of internal bleeding or will he pull through and get back up? The Death Save mechanic will answer that. And an attack that outright kills the PC? That is a hit that I will describe as a fatal wound.</blockquote>
