I don't see why shape shifters automatically DIE when failing to
regenerate from a deadly wound- they have overflow boxes, like everybody
else. In fact, we captured a LIVE nosferatue this way, giving him a
deadly plus some boxes with a weapon focus, then putting him under a
"hibernate" spell.
With decent health care, heart attacks in SR are no major threat.
They might lead to reduced attributes, or, oddly, lost limbs/ organs ,
like any deadly wound- i'd say almost automatically an internal organ if
that roll is failed, not a limb. Is that second one a problem for
shapeshifters?
What if a shifter takes a non-regenratingdeadly AND looses a body part-
can they get a clonal implant?
