Negative Body Maximum?

[ProfessorM@ss]

If a character hits twice his Body characteristic, he's dead. Is that the cap? Can he take more Body?

The reason I ask is for purposes of adjudicating Healing with the Resurrection option. Some characters, knowing about an antagonist's Resurrection ability, might try to delay by hacking him into smaller bits. Gruesome, but it happens.

Here's a scenario: EvilGuy has 10 Body, and Regeneration with Resurrection. He gets hacked down to 1 Body. And then he 12 Body damage. Is he now at -11 Body, or does the Body damage cap at death?

Thanks!

Characters can take more than negative their BODY; that’s just all it takes to kill them, it doesn’t necessarily mean the disintregration of the physical form (though it could, given the special effect of an attack). It’s up to each GM to decide what constitutes a reasonable cap, though I’d say some multiple of BODY (such a negative three times the character’s positive BODY) would make the most sense.
