[HoE] A Cry for Damage Understanding!

["twilight@vbe.com" <twilight@vbe.com>]

People,

I'm am confused on how to interpret damage in the game. I understand up
until the point of determining damage. How many damage points equal a
wound? I can't seem to figure this out at all and the book does little
more than confuse me on this matter.

For example, Jade, a Scavie using a police pistol fires a round at some
random living creature. She rolls a 3d6 on her damage roll and gets a 2,
3, 6 so by the book that means she got a damage total of 11, so does
that her victim takes 11 wounds? or is there a differentiation between
wounds and damage? I do see that each area of the body has 5 wound
levels, so does this mean her victim's arm or leg or whatnot is utterly
blasted away? eek! someone help me!
