Oh, one more thing. My last post might have sounded a bit harsh. Sorry if it did. I tend to get a little aggressive in OOC, but it's strictly skin deep, one polititian ragging on another. 
I just have this good cop/bad cop mentality, like fuckin' Sour Patch Kids. Sour, then sweet.

I'm gonna try the ref approach; when in doubt, make a settlement. How about Auz cuts Xavier's neck to the bone, but doesn't succeed in severing the vertebrae. Basically, a skeleton neck.

Auz gets his flank cut open and gets stabbed in the back, but his armor and enhanced durability helps him to survive, if at least for a minute or two more before he goes into shock.

I have my own opinions about what should happen, but I'd rather be agreeable and fun than correct (in my opinion of course), if the only thing being correct gets me is more OOC business.
