Seeing as how our group doesn't "make up" house rules, only find ways of
looking at the rules to see where the puzzle links up and append and
needed.
Page 113, SRII.
Deadly Wounds and Permanent Damage states that if a character suffers a
Deadly wound even after soaking there is a chance that a limb may become
dammaged and need replacing.
If one of our team calls a shot (+4 TN)
ex "Cut his arm off with the Katana."
"Shot him in the leg."
If a deadly wound is scored not only is the target dying but we just
skip the roll and rule it as if a failure
ex "You slice off not only his arm but most of his shoulder and ribs..."
"You blow his clean leg off near the hip"
Usualy the PC's don't throw hand fulls of dice into the attack hoping
not to do such damage, but it happens.
If any kind of wound is scored I have them make a body test using the
Wound Table on page 113 using the system of Deadly Wounds and Permanent
Damage on the bottom of 113, top of 114.
ex A serous wound the guy loses his his arm near the elbow and is in
pain but consious...
