Question about crits in combat. Does it guarantee an auto hit? Also regarding defense soaking damage points does it negate damage completely or do you do scratch damage?

Also can you re-explain the health mechanics? Currently to me it reads like two wholly separate things. You got this wound system which seems similar to other games I've played with the scaling seriousness ranging from comestic damage to actual serious damage except they don't really interact with each other besides making note of the thresholds a hit needs to give to deliver a certain type. 

And then you got this generic HP thing kinda dangling on its own.
