While we're on the subject of brawling- heres a house rule I came up 
with. I've always been a big fan of fisticufs- be it Jackie Chan or Indy 
and the Bald Nazi going at it. However in SW, two good swings and the foe 
goes down. This is not intresting. So, I propose a slight re-working of 
the damage rules:

Normaly it goes 
dazed (I've been caling it that to avoid the stunned or shot on stun and 
stunned confusion)
Wounded
Incapaitated
All Messed Up

What I do is, when someone is using a blunt object- a fist, stick, chair, 
whathave you, non-letal damage starts occuring. Basicly you have to 
mortaly wound someone (with non-lethal damage) to knock them out. 
Something like:

Brawl dazed (-1D for round)
brawl wounded (-1D for rest of combat)
brawl incapatitated (-2D for combat)
brawl mortal wound (target is knocked out)

Then you get into the real damage table

wound
incapacitate
all messed up

You still can kill a guy with a stick or your fists, you just have to go 
around the damage list once.

What do you think?
