[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5941702, member: 3424"] You see it as a lucky hit from a goblin. Someone else could see it as a hit from a goblin that isn't turned into a minor wound because the PC's own "luck" has run out. (As an aside, in narrative terms, what makes a hit from a goblin "lucky" if the worst that could happen is the PC gets a scratch? It seems to me that it is only the process of making an attack roll for the goblin and seeing high numbers come up on the dice that leads us to say that the goblin was lucky when it hit, whether the attack actually kills the PC, or whether the goblin's "luck" was countered by the PC's own luck, vigor, or skill.) However, I think we have enough trouble defining the nature of wounds without branching out into a discussion on the nature of luck, too. :p [/QUOTE]
