Here, the trick is in altering the Regeneration power. One way to do this
is to make the player roll a Body test at the end of every turn, with a
TN equal to the boxes of damage taken (without wound mods); each success
removes one box of damage. Play around with, and modify, this suggestion
until you find one that suits you, but whichever one you choose should
prevent the characters from losing always and automatically ALL damage as
soon as the turn is over.

(I never liked the regeneration power as printed in the various SR books;
I think I'll convert it to the above rules for everyone -- if I ever throw
in a critter with this power, that is.)
