[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4641295, member: 22779"] You've quoted the line twice now in this thread, yet, you ignore the line before it. Why? There, right there, it's flat out contradicting what you are claiming. It's a measure of how hard you are to kill. Yes, sometimes that means physical damage, and sometimes it doesn't. Are you trying to claim that a physical wound which you can actually look at, not a game mechanic, but, a real world event which is entirely quantifiable, is now somehow akin to abstract mechanics? To me, this is the crux of this entire arguement. "Oh, but it's too abstract"? What? That's like saying Dada is more abstract that Picasso. Sorry, they're abstract. That's the whole point of abstract. It's kinda like pregnancy. Either you are or you're not. So, while a woman in her first trimester may be somewhat less [b]visibly[/b] pregnant than one in her third, they are both simply pregnant. Again, if you insist on using narratives that lead to nonsensical answers, that's your own fault. Not the fault of the mechanics. [/QUOTE]
