I agree, and I've not much to add.
I'll definitely be experimenting with this alternative !!
One question : how could one do stuff like Darth Vader chopping Luke's hand off in TESB : obviously, Luke loses many APs, but also loses his hand ...
Hmmm ...
Vader bids many APs, tries to inflict Wound to sword arm, Crit vs. Fail, apply Masteries, uses HP if necessary, Luke gets complete defeat, Wound gets x3 multiplier ...
Should one convert all of the x3 multiplier into the Wound, or is the Wound accompanied by a x2 AP loss, or can the wounder or the wounded party decide what happens ?
