Hurting Yourself

Any time you strike unarmed (with
bare hands, feet, fangs, etc.) and hit a
target with DR 3+, you may hurt your-
self! For every 5 points of basic dam-
age you roll, you take one point of
crushing damage, up to a maximum
equal to the DR of the target you hit.
Apply this damage to the body part
you used to attack, if you are using hit
locations. Your own DR protects
against this damage. Exception: This
rule does not apply if the target’s DR
has the Tough Skin limitation (see
Damage Resistance, p. 46).
