Description

I love how brutally I can maim my characters without any real consequences... I mean it's kinda hard to imply how badly they are injured when those injuries don't slow them down, so I always have to go over the top to even imply damage at all.

It keeps coming back to the plague working like hit points... you can fight and fight and fight in an rpg as long as you have one HP left... if you don't, you're dead. Hell that's how it works for the Homunculi in Fullmetal Alchemist too... I always like that idea.

But this of course makes it a little tougher on the characters without the plague (and aren't undead)... this is a story where half the cast can walk away from fatal blows and keep fighting... and the other half can pretty much drop dead from being hit by the same thing. Hell, by all rights Charlie should be dead by now given the things he's been hit with... but he never gets right back into the fight after any of it.

It's nice to know you do keep stamina in mind.

One thing that's always irked me is when a character takes a massive beating and should, by all rights, be down for the count, but then through sheer heroic willpower overcomes it all. A little of this isn't too bad, but it can very easily be abused, often without any kind of meaningful explanation.
