Damage

Every Damage roll removes Grit from the victim in an amount equal to the result of the roll. When a victim has 0 Grit, the remaining damage is applied to Flesh instead.

Grit

• Grit is an abstract measure of well-being and fitness for combat. Losing Grit represents bruises, sweat, scratches, dented armor, torn clothing, aching muscles, depleted breath and so on.
• Attacks from stealth, traps, poison, falls, and so forth ignore Grit and apply damage directly to Flesh.

Flesh

• Flesh loss represents broken bones, torn and punctured flesh, blood loss, etc.
• When a character loses any amount of Flesh, see Death and Injury.
