this is what i'm planning to do anyway. the 'hit
points' would be a function of the muscle and bone in
the location. i had to include bone because there
isn't much muscle in the head.... except for maybe
body builders (AKA 'muscle heads')...he he...just
kidding:)

this means that when you get hit in a location it
reduces the 'strength' for that location until the
wound heals. if a wound is not properly healed, the
loss may be permanent or need exercise to fully
recover.

wait for my next post, probably tomorrow, it will
explain this a little better (I hope).
