[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5595745, member: 92305"] A simple rule would be to throw a d4 with the damage. If the d4 shows a "1", then the damage is lethal. Otherwise, it's nonlethal, as intended. Do you think 25% of nonlethal damage being lethal is a good number? We could change the percentage by changing the die. Has anyone seen any good rules for this anywhere? EDIT: If the "1" on the d4 comes up, we could also do half lethal damage. For example, Frank smacks his opponent with his fist and hits. Damage is 1d3 + STR. He does 5 points of nonlethal damage, but his d4 that he throws with his damage die shows a "1". This means damage is halved and considered lethal damage. So, the target takes 2 points of lethal damage instead of 5 points of nonlethal damage. [/QUOTE]
