You can if you either use the overdamage rules from FoF, or house rules
that do more or less the same thing. The way I handle this is to start at
Light again after Deadly, and stage up from there (Deadly Stun + 6
successes = Deadly Stun + Serious physical). That way, it's possible to
kill someone in one attack with a Stun weapon, by rolling enough (too
many?) successes.
