Well that's why I said that take [damage - str. roll] in wind. This means
between a Goliath's high armor and str. he won't be taking much wind at
all.
Let's take a scrub who gets hit by a 9mm, all being very average. He has 4
wind (2str, 2 spirit).
The gun [5d6+5] does an average 8 (for 13 pts. of damage), when I say
average I mean the highest number it will get at least 50% of the time.
So that's 13 wind - str. roll, avg. str. roll is 5, so that's 8 wind. 
Whoops!

OK, try this, everything stays the same, but the final result (the 8 wind)
is divided by size like normal damage. So in the case above the guy takes
1 wind.

The only problem with this is that you are then basically doing as much
wind as you are wounds. This makes the whole wind thing fairly pointless,
as you will still be beating them down with wounds, wind is just an extra
hassle...
