How this for an idea:

Have several levels of damage (Scratched, Hurt, Very Hurt, Crippled, and Dead,
for example).  Scratched = no effect, Hurt = -1 to skills, Very Hurt = -2,
Crippled = can't do anything, Dead = dead.

Now for the fun part:  assign each wound a Damage Level (from Terrible to
Superb, or whatever range you are using).  Then make a roll against the Damage
Level, using Wound Resistance/Constitution, whatever.  If you get 2 or more
levels higher than the Damage Level, you are Scratched.  If you get within
one level (+/-) of it, you are only Hurt.  Two levels below, Very Hurt,
four levels below = Crippled.  If you are already wounded, a Hurt result
moves you up one level of damage, a Very Hurt moves you up two, and a Crippled
moves you up three (Scratched is no effect).

Seems like a nice, simple, workable system to me.  Comments?

 I used to trust the media to tell me   |   I used to think that only America's
   the truth, to tell us the truth      |     way, our way was right
 But now I see the payoffs              |   But now the holy dollar rules
