Yeah, that's fair enough.

Crits will generally guarantee an auto-hit...unless they also crit, in which case it's back to checking out the total numbers.

If your attack value is lower than their defense value, they negate damage completely.

Superficial, Debilitating, and Crippling wounds are effects that are attached to the amount of damage you inflict.

Another ailment (let's call it Blood Loss) comes is an amount scaling off your HP. Every quarter of your HP you lose, your d20 rolls are all reduced by 2.

Your actual HP is what you have before you reach a near-death state, and determines how much you can take before Blood Loss kicks in.

Not sure how they read as wholly separate things, but whatever.
