Have a hammer? Knock a vertibrae out of alignment severing their spinal nerves and wait. Have a (titanium) spork? A good jab to the left or right side of the neck renders them at -1 HP, just wait. The same could be said for most weapons.</blockquote>It is true that even a bare fist of an individual of average strength can probably kill an average healthy adult human if it strikes the right spot. Correct me if I am wrong here, I am certainly no expert on medicine or fighting, but I figure a fist blow to the temple even by an average person would kill another average person, no? Nevertheless, I think it is reasonable to say that weapons do different amounts of damage simply based on the fact that hitting the temple is not that common and other weapons will kill an average healthy adult human even when they hit other vital areas or even non-vital areas. Still, even the infinity effect is modelable by having the dice explode on their maximum roll.[/QUOTE]
