Well it might be mythically correct, but what a way to make sure that nobody will play Humakti. I think from the point of view of a game rule it's complete and utter nonesense.
I think that the idea completly destroys Humakti as viable player characters. Without healing (lets assume that you don't have a pet chalana arroy with you on an adventure) you are going to die in combat very soon, as the accumulation of damage will kill you. The only way to survive is to avoid fights at all cost, or be totally concentrated on the attack to the extent of having no defense, and for what _I_ see as the primary warrior cult neither of those feel right.
And of course it makes the cult of Humakt totally ineffective as a force within the world. They cannot get healed up, so these warriors with locations that go negative are not walking wounded, but are effectivly casulties. Rake the advancing Humakti's with archery fire and that should do for them as an effective force, those wounded in the lower half of their bodies will never make it to the combat.
Sorry, but to me, it's a crap idea. Of course your Glorantan may vary. But after a while it won't have many Humakti's in it, and correcting that is going to be real hard.
