This caused a level two chest wound then I just died. This is prob a newb question I'm just curious why

Particles of dust and soot rise from the floor at a grizzled hunch-backed dogmatist's feet as she releases a pulsating, platinum ripple of energy toward you!
CS: +332 - TD: +313 + CvA: -8 + d100: +93 == +104
Warding failed!
You are cloaked in a blinding platinum light and assailed for 46 points of damage!
... 25 points of damage!
A raw, red hole is drilled in your chest by a powerful bolt!

then I died, no other messaging.

I mean I guess chest holes are hard to live with...but I thought a crit kill would be a level 3 wound?

Did you already have a rank 2 wound? Receiving a rank 2 chest wound when you already have a rank 2 chest wound kills you, right? I dunno, I might just be making this up.

Other obvious answer, you sure you didn't run out of health?

No, no injuries, full health

ah there it is...and this is a note on that:

"There is one odd critical, the Rank 5 CHEST**, which is always fatal when caused by a CS based attack but will only leave a level 2 injury (deep lacerations) to the body. When the Rank 5 CHEST critical results from an AS based attack the result is non-fatal with a level 2 injury and 5 round stun."

interesting...thanks for the link

In answer to your edit question, Catts, it's cleric's Divine Fury but then you probably figured that out from the crit page.

I crit kill things all the time with 25 points of damage from my bow, which has vibration flares. Especially on the neck.
