I'd say so. You haven't yet accounted for things like the Pain
Editor, Trauma Damper, Pain Resistance, Hyper... These could skew
the results in one direction or the other. Breaking a bone and
spinning should be based on actual damage, while clutching and covering
should be based on felt damage. It complicates things a little more,
though.
