Player Notes

Lucas The Lost

The wording "People who are wounded" means that a poison weapon cannot effect someone through a dead leg. This appears to have changed from previous editions of the rules, though opinions differ as previous editions weren't as clear as they could have been. There is some controversy over this ruling, as many think it a might ricockulous.
