That sort of depends is the answer I can give you.  The absolute best a
person can do in terms of wounds suffered would be equal to four wound
levels in each area along with maims to everything but the head and guts. 
Also, each wound does 1 pt of Wind.  Now I will leave the chances of that
actually happening up to the math studs on the list.

I see your point on the Size thingy but that difference you mention about
Wind is where it's at.  if you can wind a person, that's the same as
putting him down for the fight.  I tend to ignore Stun checks for the most
part but Vigor would also play a part in preventing those pesky stun
results as well.
