Probably a stupid question, but here goes:
Does the "overflow" 14 points of damage damage then get applied to his other stats, killing him in one blow? Or is the overflow damage lost?
Weirdly, this has never come up in a game yet.
Say a character has End 7, Str 7, Dex 7. A single attack on this unlucky fellow does 21 points of damage. The character's End is reduced to 0.Traveller SRD said:Damage is applied initially to the target’s Endurance. If a target is reduced to Endurance 0, then further damage is subtracted from the target’s Strength or Dexterity. If either Strength or Dexterity is reduced to 0, the character is unconscious and any further damage is subtracted from the remaining physical characteristic. If all three physical characteristics are reduced to 0, the character is killed.
