Right, and the part doesn't necessarily need to be lost, or even
annihilated.  It just needs to be sufficiently damaged so as to make it
useless.  For instance, if a semi hiits and rips off a Harrowed's arm, it's
most likely going to have been shattered in the process, so I'd really have
to think for a while about whether or not he'd be able to Stich it or if
he'd have to Reconstruct it.  Now, it's be much more cut-and-dried if, say,
a railgun shot off his arm.  In that instance the arm has most likely been
unsalvagably damage at least near where it was shot off, which would mean,
then, that the arm would either work funny after healing it or it wouldn't
be able to heal back on at all.
