-- No Evil, by Betsy Lee, episode 9

Wounds and ailments cause injury, a (usually) temporary loss of Hit Points. Injury often results from “penetrating damage”: the damage left after Damage Resistance is subtracted from the basic damage of an attack. However, disease, overexertion, and the like can cause injury without damage.
