RE: [DL] Walkin' Dead And Fate Chip Short Cut

I believe this was brought up before. I use the normal chip method out of
the book but any damage a Walkin' Dead takes that is not to his noggin' I
cut in half.

Subject: [DL] Walkin' Dead And Fate Chip Short Cut


Hello,

I'm curious about how to deal with Walkin' Dead and
the Fate Chip Short Cut for large combats.  Obviously
I don't want to keep track of hit location for 10
Walkin' Dead in a large fight so I'd like to use the
Fate Chip/Miniture method but there's a small
complication.

1) Walkin' Dead can only be killed by maiming their
focus which is usually the head.

2) The Fate Chip/miniture method assumes all wounds go
to the guts.

This presents a problem.  With several possible
solutions:

1) Forget about it.  Since Walkin' Dead are 'put down'
but not killed if you maim the guts it really doesn't
matter; an imobile Walkin' Dead is just as good as a
dead one.

2) Simply don't count the wounds unless they're called
shots to the head.

The first is simplest and makes the most sense
realistically however the second actually adds a
frightening toughness to the monsters as opposed to
regular living henchmen.

What method do you use?

Jesse
