====Damage====
When you are hit, simply subtract the Soak roll (Strength + Armor) from the Damage roll.

'''Damage Roll > Soak Roll by // Effect'''
*0-3 . . . Stunned
*4-8 . . . Wounded
*9-12 . . . Incapacitated
*13+ . . . Mortally Wounded

The effects of each level of damage is:
*''Stunned:'' You suffer -1D to all rolls (except Damage and Soak) for the rest of the round and for the next round.
*''Wounded:'' You fall prone and cannot act for the rest of the round.  You suffer -1D to all rolls (except Damage and Soak) until healed.  If you are wounded twice, you become Severely Wounded.
*''Severely Wounded:'' Same as Wounded, but you suffer a -2D penalty instead of -1D.  If you are wounded again, you become Incapacitated.
*''Incapacitated:'' You fall prone and are knocked unconscious.
*''Mortally Wounded:'' You fall prone and are knocked unconscious.  Roll 2D every round; if you roll a number less than the number of rounds you've been mortally wounded, you die.  A First Aid roll of Moderate difficulty with a Medpac can stabilize a Mortally Wounded character, negating the need to roll 2D every round.
