Under Strength and other questions

Hi,
A few questions
The first question is in regards to Under Strength
In 2.3.3.5.4 it lists Under Strenght as
"... A unit whose current strength is less than a quarter of its original strength remaining (rounding any fractions up) is under strength.
in 6.30.8.2.1 (Heavily Damaged Target) and 6.40.8.1.2 (Heavily Damaged Mark) it lists under strength as follows
"...and is now under strength (i.e., has less than half its original strength remaining after invoke damage has been applied)..."
My question is which definition of under strength is correct?
The second question is in regards to Sightless Parries, Evades, and Avoids
All three state that you only use your Constitution, worn Armour+, and natural Armour+ when figuring your Combined Consitution. Since you are not adding the Armour value of say a shield (because it's borne) does that also mean you lose the parry modifier from it?
The third question is in regards to damage rolls
Are all damage rolls fated rolls no matter the source? For example, a unit of Holumann has a continuous effect fire token attached to them. They fail immediately suffering D10 fire damage, the player then rolls a 9 for the damage. Does this a) count as a vicious wound, therefore, adding another fire token, and b) cause a second die to be rolled (with the chance of more tokens and dice being rolled if it too is a 9)?
The fourth question is in regards to Shoot, and Invoke result reaction criteria. Previously I had asked about attack result reaction criteria. In that answer, you had stated that Frenzied units even if fearless do a reaction if they fulfil the other portions obviously (in fact this is the only time a Fearless unit would have a result reaction), is that the same for Shoot and Invoke result reactions. Example a Frenzied Mantichora is shot at and becomes a Shocked Target as well as taking damage fulfiling those two portions of the criteria. Does it now roll on the Frenzied Shoot Result Reaction table applying any results it can legally?
The last question is about the sightless strike rule.
I want to confirm that a sightless strike does not count as a blind strike and therefore even if a Warrior has a weapon with the sightless strike rule they can still be blind beset, unlike a warrior with a weapon who has the blind strike rule. Is this correct?
