This question is easier to ask by way of example:

My hero is totally unhurt (no wound penalties). He takes a massive shot that does tons of damage he can't soak, and it incapacitates him (i.e., enough to make him shaken plus at least 4 wounds).

He must make an incapacitation roll. QUESTION: Is it at -3 (since he just took 3 wounds)? Or is it at no penalty (since he was unhurt before that shot hit him)?

If the former is correct (and he's at -3 on his incap roll), then basically does that mean ALL incapacitation checks are made at -3?

Thanks.

Yep, by definition, a Wild Card character cannot be Incapacitated by damage unless he has already taken 3 wounds, so the base wound penalty modifier for the Vigor roll after Incapacitation is -3.

Of course, Hard to Kill completely negates that penalty and Nerves of Steel (and Improved) would reduce it as normal.
