Unknown Armies Rules Modifications

I wouldn't normally comment, but I feel that the soft option of 
preventing damage while still fighting, effective, neat and user-
friendly as the above rule would be, is a mistake.

Fighting is ludicrously dangerous. I like the fact that it's also
ludicrously dangerous in UA. 

It'll make players cast around for ways to solve problems without
wading in, fists flying. That is a Good Thing (tm). Anything that
weakens that, to my mind, weakens the premise of the game.

Your mileage may vary.

Tim.
