I'm a bit turned off by the crit result of 126-130, Gruesome Injury. One characteristic is permanently reduced by 1. Permanently. Non-recoverable.
Does that strike anyone else as odd? This is the one and only example of a permanent reduction of anything in the game. Heck, even starship crits don't permanently reduce any of it's traits. Maybe it could be the chosen characteristic is at -2, or two different characteristics are at -1? Heck, with it's higher difficulty, a -1 might stay around for a bit longer than with the Horrific Injury result.
I'm just not a fan of any system where a random roll of the dice can take something that vital to the character away.
