What makes WFRP2's combats deadly (or more deadly than d20)?

From what I have read on this review, combat (weapon) skills increase with experience (just as in d20).

However, there seems to be no indication that your health/hit points also increase with experience (HP creep in d20).

In addition, defence grows dramatically in d20, just by the sheer amount of magic items & spells characters get at high levels. Is this also the case in WFRP2?

I also understand from this review that critical hits are more than just increased damage (as in d20). They have game effects (broken limbs, etc). Does this happen often?
