for her

expect

loss if

performance,

like, not

A minute or two in combat when you are full of who knows what drugs is an
eternity. I've seen footage of a guy who was being arrested by FBI I think
it was, who was fatally wounded with the first shot that hit him, but he
killed twelve agents before he finally went down. Later testing showed
absolutely no drugs in his system. As for the pain editor issue...if it is
physical damage he still suffers the modifier. He may not feel the pain,
but the fact that the arm is gone would still give him the wound modifier.
