 If a characters limb reaches a deadly injury level the character can only use the limb after achieving one success on a willpower (2) test, modified by injury modifiers.  If the limb reaches 10 boxes plus half body attribute in overflow it is incapacitated and can no longer be used.  If a limb reaches 10 boxes plus body in overflow damage it is destroyer (rendered completely useless or blown/cut/shot/pulled off).  The limb may not be healed and must me amputated and later can be replaced by transplant surgery.
