[QUOTE="Iron Sheep, post: 452944, member: 4965"] Yep, looks like you're right. I was thinking of the environmental damage rules, since that's where most of the subdual damage in my campaign has come from. I think I also had the VP/WP damage system in mind as well, as I understand it works that way as well. Personally, I think I'm going to add the extra subdual damage is real damage to my campaign house rules, since in my opinion if you're hitting someone hard enough to knock them out you're doing some real damage as well. I may end up putting a buffer of a few hp between the point where you go unconscious and the point where you start taking real damage, though. I agree that a crit should not cause real damage (unless it's overkill as in the house rule above). However it would have been fair enough as long as the GM had mentioned this as a house rule at some earlier point. It'd just be a difference of opinion about whether you see a crit as the [i]best[/i] possible result or the [i]strongest[/i] possible result. [/QUOTE]
