No, see, that IS the function of a fortitude save. Somehow, against all odds, my greatsword does not go through the neck as it "bounces" off the bone, dealing...
I disagee that a coup de grace is decapitation. It is more like the special forces knife slash that severs the windpipe, jugular and corotid artery in one...
