i'm pretty sure affliction chance is determined by the nominal hp value, which is determined by the current province dominion; ie., if your pretender has 100 base hp, and the enemy dom is at least 4, he'll only have a nominal max hp of 20... so a 5-8 damage hit will yield a really good chance of an affliction.

also, arrows tend to be more likely to give chest wounds.

being crippled was bad luck
