In the case of a hit only the Protection and Integrity of the targeted part is taken into account, and damage is marked down for the limb specifically. If the parts take Integrity damage the hit player must make a () check or the part is seen as non-functional for one turn, if Integrity reaches zero it is destroyed.
At the start of your turn the player rolls Physis and adds Stability vs a difficulty of +1 for every 2 attacks that missed and +1 for every hit during the last turn. If the Player fails they fall prone.
Basics
If the Attack beats the Defence (higher number), then the attack hits. Raw Damage is equal to success over + weapon/spell damage. Raw Damage is reduced by Armor. If the damage is over Armor then the damage over is taken from the target's Integrity, If the damage is under the Armor then half of the raw damage is dealt to the target’s armor.
