We have to talk about the Scylla in the room

On the body part issue in general…

It depends.

  1. Disabled doesn’t mean destroyed.

  2. It makes sense that at least shots to the torso and to the head continue to do damage after they get disabled.

  3. I’m not an expert in trauma (my medical expertise being largely confined to knowledge obtained in the the course of unwillingly watching Dr Mcstuffins), but it’s obvious that PP damage model is completely unrealistic, and has no pretensions in that regard.

  4. I can live with damage being dealt to disabled limbs in principle- I imagine that a human being shot repeatedly in the same disabled leg still gets hurt.

  5. Not so in the case of the Scylla, as she is basically a milipede, or a spider, or whatever something that intuitively should survive a leg being ripped off of her.
