The unaided human does far worse: as 10 is more than double 2, the
pedestrian is automatically Knocked Down (assumingly beside the car), and
receives 10d6 crushing damage, an average of 35 damage. Now dropped
to -25HP, two immediate HT rolls are required to avoid dying before this
turn is over. (Worst case would be 10d6=60, bringing him to -5xHP --
immediate death!)
Next second/turn, and each after, a HT roll is required to stay conscious
if
trying to act ("0 HP or less"). Shock of -4 applies to any rolls on the
next
turn. As this is greater than 5hp, this is a Major Wound (B420), and
requires another immediate HT roll to avoid being Stunned.
First case, Pedestrian in path of oncoming vehicle, human hit in legs and
toppled/slammed into bonnet/windscreen.
Major Trauma all round I think. Survival chances, wafer thin.
Alternatively, use of hit location (Legs):
Assuming the car his both legs, and then stops, each leg will take HP/2 *2
damage, or 10, for a total of 20 damage. The victim will be at -1xHP, and
suffer most of the above, but require only one HT roll to avoid dying.
Second Case, Pedestrian leaning against wall when oncoming car makes him the
sandwich filling.
A good survival potential, wether pedestrian wants to live in a wheelchair
is another matter.
Just my 2 bobs worth.

Chris
