RE: [DL] question about fate chips and wounds

["Mario Lee Bansen III" <LeeBansen@deadlands.com>]

I always envision scenes from action movies and love it when the GM
describes it that way. The bullets barely miss your character, maybe making
a hole in your clothes but not hitting you or the old pocket watch your
character has always carried stops the bullet. It is all up to the GM. If
you have seen the movie "Tombstone", the scene at the river where Wyatt Earp
is pinned down by the Cowboys is a perfect example.
