I have posted a question like this elsewhere but I am posting here to get Shanes Official rule.

I do not have the savage rpg yet, but are harrowed just as hard to kill (not injure) as the classic system? (IE- the have to have a killing wound done to the head to die?). What about stitchin? I did not notice this power in the classic to savage conversion rules.

Cheers and ta Shane,

I know you want an official answer, but this may help.

The way I've been running it is that 3 wounds will still put a Harrowed (Any harrowed in my game is a Wild Card) out of the fight, but they don't roll on the knockout table. The reason they're incapacitated is the same reason they start taking wound modifiers after 3 wounds in classic: Signifigant muscle tissue and nerves have been damaged, causing them paralysis. 4+ wounds to the head will kill them (and that's not easy to do).

Stitchin' is covered in the updated conversion.

Stitchin' - Natural Healing roll every day.
Improved Stitchin' - Natural healing roll every hour.

Hope this helps, I'll be waiting to see the official answer also, however.

So there are hit locations in savage west, cool. Thanks for the suggestions Hi PHi. How do wounds work in this system? I can not get the book yet. Has yet to come in in Australia.

Check out the Test Drive rules on the PEG downloads page. The quick 'n' dirty on how damage works is there; should be all you need. Smile

Yes, the Testdrive rules are good, the full rules are so much better Wink

Well you can always order from the Pinnacle website. It'll cost a bit to ship it overseas, though.

Since you mentioned it, Savage Worlds doesn't have hit locations in the same way Deadlands does. It's a speed thing to prevent those location rolls from taking a time chunk.

There's some suggested penalties for specific location damage, i believe.

-4 to hit head or other similar sized location.

-6 for really small things (this is described in a different section than the 'called shot' section, but my guess is that this penalty would be best applied to something like an eye, or perhaps a particular button on the control panel across the room (You know, the big red one, labelled "Do Not Push!"))

Aiming will get you a +2 bonus, but you can't keep adding to that like in classic deadlands, so a head shot is always going to be at a penalty (barring magic items and whatnot).
