Thanks, Vcut. There's definitely room for improvement in the base Damage rules. For example, I find it rather odd that the 4e Crit tables treat head wounds such as "Concussion" and "Slashed Ear" as critical. To me, those are not "critical wounds", especially given that crit's can automatically incapacitate or even kill NPCs. A "Concussion" or "Slashed Ear" would be how I, as a Ref, would interpret and describe a head wound that does 1 or 2 points of damage, not wounds/damage that that meet or surpass the offending weapon's Crit threshold.
