In Character Creation you determine your number of staring wounds.

First, is this your health? or does your character really start with wounds on him?

If neither of these are true, please tell me how the health system works

Thank you

Wounds are your characters health. When you are hit by weapons (guns, swords, etc) that damage you beyond any armor you are wearing and your toughness bonus, you subtract that damage from the number of wounds you have. Once you reach 0 wounds, you begin to suffer critical effects.

High wounds = a good thing!

Thanks alot
