So... I've seen other versions of FATE that make a limitation that you can only take a single Consequence in a single Exchange. (Age of Arthur comes immediately to mind, but I seem to recall seeing others).
If this is specified in Dresden I may have missed it... is there such a limitation? Also, if there's not, how does your table handle it?

No, DFRPG explicitly allows multiple consequences to be taken - even for a single attack. See YS204: "Multiple consequences can be “stacked” at a time, combining their rating for the purposes of absorbing an attack."
-
Note that Dresden Files plays with pretty high Weapon Ratings, so the ability to take multiple consequences in an exchange is somewhat needed, as Weapon:6 or more is very common among Submerged or higher PCs.

This. It gets a little absurd pretty quickly.

It also makes sense narratively for DF as opposed to a middle age style game where combats are typically more drawn out and long term.DF combats tend to be pretty short, quick and brutal.

Thanks all, I was fairly sure our group was playing it the way it was intended, but I had a doubt. ;)
