-1 Wounds. And any time the attacker rolls a critical on the attack roll.

You do fall unconscious at zero wounds though. But as said, criticals only start when you go below zero.

Further Question in Crits.

When falling below Zero Wounds, you take a Crit, but at -20 on the table unless the damage exceeds your Toughness.

Does the -20 also apply to Crits from rolling a Crit in combat, or are they a flat D100 Crit table roll?

We have been playing with the -20 modifier, and we are beginning to feel like we shouldn't.
This way there is no chance to ever get a decapitation Crit unless the opponents is already down.

The -20 only applies to Critical Wounds caused by going below 0 Wounds. Crits from doubles in combat don't take that modifier precisely so that, as you say, you can decapitate people.

Not instantly. When you reach zero wounds, you gain the Prone Condition and can only crawl (you can only stand up and get rid of the Condition, when you reach >0 wounds). You gain the Unconscious after TB in rounds or rather die then, if you already have suffered from more Critical Wounds than your TB.

I stand corrected :)
