Of course. All I did was expand how far you can stage damage (as normally
it stops at Deadly), all the other, normal, rules stay in effect.

Hey, I also use variable Staging figures for weapons, as per my article in
TSS-08 :)

In SRII and SR3, the rule is that you absolutely die once you get more
physical damage than (10+Body) boxes, which is much easier to reach with
the house rules my group uses. I don't think SR1 had a rule like this,
though.
