Critical hits and Hit Points

[Dux Darius]

I was wondering why they did not have crits do damage to Stamina and Hitpoints? I think it would make for more drama without any slow down in play.

It would reflect the occasional great shot!

Instead on double Stamina damage and an equal amount to each.

I always rather liked how Star Wars 3.5 handled Wounds and Vitality. Where Wound Points were low throughout a characters life and critical hits bypassed Vitality and went right to wounds. It made combat always dangerous.
