Yep. When I ran Hero last it was a heroic fantasy game and just about
everything except fireball-type effects were Killing Attacks, so I
didn't see enough normal attacks to really realise how different they
were. Doing the maths makes it obvious though. Should I run Hero again
I think I'll fix Killing Damage's Stun at 2.5 times the Body done.
