The big thing here is that it matter very much just how badly you miss the roll. Typically it's: Fail = Wounded, Fail by 5 = Stunned + Wounded, Fail by 10 = Staggered + Wounded, Fail by 15 = Unconscious or dying.The other big thing is that barring a couple feats, it never gets any better unless you get better armor or your Con goes up.  There are optional rules to have it increase, though.So, yes, you can roll poorly enough and get dropped by the first hit (Thankfully, there are fate points to keep that from being as common as it might otherwise be), or keep on going long past your fellows. The result is generally a much more deadly combat but I would really need to play it longer to form a good opinion.</blockquote>
