Yes, thats what I meant - sorry for any confusion.

I don't know about this.  Specifically, I'm thinking of the
extreme case where a figure with a base ST of 12 has taken
10 points of damage, but still has 12 fatigue points left.
This seems unreasonable.  What about this: each two points
of damage causes a loss of 1 fST as well.  Bleeding takes
an awful lot out of you.

(Note that the converse is not true ... every 2 fST lost 
would NOT mean a loss of 1 "hit point.")
