To clarify, Beaten Down is a tilt, a condition that only applies in combat. It simply states that if you've taken over your stamina in bashing, you can't continue fighting without spending willpower, and that you can surrender for a willpower. You also take a beat when it resolves at the end of combat.<br/><br/>Beating Down a werewolf isn't only possible, but entirely likely, if a bit harder than beating down a mortal. Assuming Daryl is relatively healthy, he's still probably only got about 3 stamina. Maybe 4. It doesn't matter if he reaches four and then heals one, he'd still be 'Beaten Down'.<br/><br/>That being said, it's your game, do what you want to do. I just think the whole thing makes combat a lot less dragged-out than normal NWoD combat rules. It usually resolves combat in one or two turns, unless the combatants are evenly matched, and gives rewards for surrendering a lost cause.
