This can be a problem when fighting animals. Animals still go into hemorrhagic shock, however they rarely are rendered unconcious the way people are.atgxtg said:THat is why I tend to like game with some sort of trauma/shock roll too. I don't find that it slows the game down, more that it speeds it up, since people will drop earlier in the fight from a failed resistance roll.
In the real world that major cause of why people drop when they get his is actually more pychological than physical. Unless you get one of those instantly disabling hits (rather rare) what drops the person is how well he responds to the idea that he's just been hit.
