Can you imagine the arguments that might lead to?
Noob1: Hey, I just shot like five hundred arrows into your temples and jugulars, what are you doing back here already?
Noob2: I'm not dead. The animation shows that the arrows ( three of them, mind you ) went into my chest, not my neck and head like you attempted to RP.
Noob1: lolwut?
Noob2: I had a four inch thick steel chest plate of Talad's foot under my shirt, so I'm quite alive.
Noob1: Hey wait a minute buddy, that's meta-gaming!?
Noob2: Actually, my character has performed extensive research on arrow wound victims and has concluded with 99.99999% certainty that statistically, arrows always strike in the same exact place.
