[QUOTE="Generico, post: 4043820, member: 59693"] Consider this: A scrawny 10 year old girl gets attacked by a bear. The bear takes 1 good swing and knocks her out. Now, Mike Tyson comes along and picks a fight with the bear. Mike is obviously a lot tougher than a 10 year old girl (don't let his voice fool you ;)), and a better fighter. He stands up to several attacks from the bear, dodging some, turning some into glancing blows, and just toughing out a couple more. Finally, the bear bites him on the neck and he goes down. The little girl and Mike Tyson are now both at negative HP. Why should Mike Tyson be more likely to wake up after being bitten in the neck and taking several blows from the bear, when the little girl suffered only one attack? The fact that Mike Tyson is a boxer doesn't matter after he's unconscious. His superior strength, pain tolerance, and fighting skill are no longer a factor. In reality, Mike is [b]more[/b] likely to die because he suffered more attacks from the bear. [/QUOTE]
