[QUOTE="Texicles, post: 5941699, member: 6694608"] In a similar vein, fatigue from strain, while not a traditional "wound," can have debilitating consequences. While I've never engaged in hand-to-hand combat where anyone's life was at stake, I imagine it would be at least as taxing as a long ruck march or a hard day at the gym. As both of those things have the capacity to leave one physically fatigued to the point that normal activity is not only difficult, but impossible, I must conclude that a life or death battle could yield the same kind of results. Not from wounds proper, but from the mere act of extreme physical exertion. How does one reconcile this in game systems design? I honestly don't know. I can't call it a wound, and maybe this and "strawberries" are best ignored by all but the most simulationist of roleplayers. I'm not advocating that a housecat poses a real threat to life or limb, but it's difficult to find exactly where to draw the line on what we think of as wounds. [/QUOTE]
