I posted a version of it here about a year ago - basically, it's a set of words to use in descriptions of the damage done, based upon some conditions. Here's the section on Force damage:"Physical Block" is a common set for all the physical damage types, and a few of the magical ones. I only use it for targets that are still pretty fresh, and tend to narrate it as the target blocking the attack or taking it on armour, but visibly reacting to the damage of the blow. I fall into the camp of "basically unmarked if at >=50%hp, minor wounds at <50%hp, immediately taken out with a critical injury that you just weren't able to avoid at 0%hp" camp. The physical block section was:Basically, the attack hit and has drained some of the ability of the target to avoid blows.
