[DL] one-half? grim servant question

[<markus.finster@chello.at>]

I have a question regarding the "revised" version of Grim Servant Of Death from The Agency: MiBD.

There, it says, that if a Grim Servant spends a chip to negate wounds, one-half the damage is dealt to someone else.

Now, English isn't my native language, so could someone explain to me: does that mean one half (ie 50%) of the damage or one and a half (ie 150%).
I'd tend to 150% (it is called Grim Servant of _Death_ after all), but I know that there will be discussions about that when it occurs the first time.
And now two players made new characters, bot Grim Servants...

Thanks,
Markus
