Errata page 96?

[Grimolde]

From page 96 Combat:

The example character below has 14 General Hit Points and a Critical Wound of 7.

If General Hit Points (14) are reduced to a negative amount equal to the Critical Wound (a 7 gives us -7) rating or more death is instantaneous. In our example, if the foe sustains 14 or more points of damage, he dies automatically.

Assuming no damage the character would now be at 0 hit points. So the above example would be incorrect.

He'd have to be on 7 hit points for this to be correct yes? As H.P 7 -14 damage = H.P -7 (which is the Critical Wound rating).

Is this an oversight or am I missing something here?

Its an oversight.

And my lousy math.

Ok. So it's more a case of (ignoring the red):

If General Hit Points are reduced to a negative amount equal to the Critical Wound rating or more death is instantaneous. In our example, if the foe [sustains14 or more points of damage] sustained damage which dropped him to -7, he dies automatically.

Thanks
