New fix :
* Minimum damage is equal to damage level minus one.
* If you use secondary damage, it still applies. Secondary damage is in the
other category than primary damage (i.e. physical attack does mental
secondary damage and mental attack does physical damage). The value is
equal to half the boxes taken from primary damage (i.e. serious primary
damage does 3 boxes of secondary damage). If the character had some net
successes he couldn't use (because of the minimum damages), theses
successes apply to secondary damage.

Well... Perhaps it's a bit too lethal, neh ?
