In my current stargate game, i dropped the wp/vp hit point system they used for a damage save, and with my damage save, it could very much happen to give me that scene. A bad hit scores a TKO (taking the cap'n out for a scene, even if previously uninjured) and when he wakes up he is at penalties to actions and reduced to half actions for a long while (until he heals.) Obviously, my damage save, while a rather obvious and simple adaptation from the one in MnM, is a house rule, it captures the feel i want.Then again, in my history of gaming, i have never ever found a system that did what i wanted and needed no house rules to suit my game to my liking. Long ago i figured the manufacturers did not know my game notion, my PCs, me or my players and so they would never be able to package for mass market a game that needed no tweaking or patching or house ruling to meet my game's needs as well as i wanted. i cannot think of any game that survived a singler session without me applying a patch or house rule... most did not make it thru chargen. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />But seriously, what system did that scene for you right, right out of the box?</blockquote>
