I like the the Vit & Wp system that UA present. My only questions is what do you do when the PC's don't want to kill their target, only knock them out?

The UA states that there is no difference between nonlethal and lethal damage, so how do you run someone who wants to use a sap to capture an enemy to turn in for a bounty or interrogate later?

I was thinking a house rule that said when nonlethal force is used to reduce wound points, you are kocked out instead of being stunned if you fail your Fort save. Was also thinking of making the DC 10 + the amount of damage taken when it is from a sap or a monk's nonlethal unarmed/grapple damage, as they are specifically made/trained to knock out a person, as opposed to say the flat of a blade.

How do you handle nonlethal damage in a vitality and wound points campaign?

Opinions and advice welcome :)

If a character hits 0 WP as a result of nonlethal damage, just rule that he's knocked unconscious instead of dying.
