This also works well when used in conjunction with a house rule that
allows for damage levels past deadly. That way, large ammounts of
attacker successes, or weapons that have higher levels of base damage
can have a chance of doing signifigant ammounts of damage to a
vehicle, even under the above rules.
There are generally two schools of thought on how many condition
monitor boxes damage levels such as "Deadly Plus" and above should
fill in.
One school duplicates the 1,3,6,10 progression for the higher levels
of damage, with the higher damage levels doing 11,13,16, and 20
contition monitor boxes worth of damage respectively.
The other school notes that Moderate damage does 2 more boxes worth
than Light, Serious does 3 more boxes than Moderate, Deadly does 4
more boxes than Serious, and follows that trend with higher damage
levels doing 15,21,28, and 36 condition monitor boxes worth of damage.
There should be a discussion about "Deadly Plus" levels of damage in
the old ITribe archives, from mid-January 99, under the subject
"Deadly Damage: A misnomer"
