| Damage Types |
|---|
| Confusion | Fear | Injury |
|---|
| Attributes | Empathy or Reason | Attributes | Daring or Passion | Attributes | Cunning or Might |
|---|
| Afflictions | Madness | Afflictions | Trauma | Afflictions | Wounds |
|---|
| Recovery Difficulty = D2 for Ally & D3 for Self |
|---|
| Recover | Empathy + Reason | Recover | Daring + Reason | Recover | Might + Reason |
|---|
| Damage inflicted upon the mind is Confusion. It might be caused by complex tasks, impossible timelines, psychic attacks or even the fog of war. Confusion represents a character’s determination, and their ability to handle pressure, control emotions, and resist the hardships of life. Characters whose current Confusion is high are weary, less certain, and less able to cope with challenging situations. A character's maximum stress for Confusion is equal to the highest value of a character's Empathy or Reason. | Damage inflicted upon the will is Fear. It might be caused by fear, doubt, panic, despair, and sudden shocks, such as a near miss with a blade. Fear represents a character’s bravery, willingness to take risks, and their ability to work through the risks inherent in a life of adventure. Characters whose current Fear is high are scared, easily frightened and less able to cope with challenging situations. A character's maximum stress for Fear is equal to the highest attribute between Daring and Passion. | Damage inflicted upon the body is Injury. Blades, radium bullets, or exposure to dangerous substances (such as acids) might cause damage. Injury represents a character’s endurance, stamina, and ability to ignore minor injuries such as cuts, scratches, bruises, and abrasions. It also represents the ability to avoid serious injuries. A character with high Injury is tired and unable to avoid serious harm. A character's maximum stress for Injury is equal to the highest attribute between Cunning and Might. |
| Afflictions |
|---|
| If a sufficient amount of Confusion is inflicted, the afflictions are called Madness. Madness increases the difficulty of attribute tests using Empathy or Reason. A character suffering 4 Madness is barely coherent, overwhelmed by fears and doubts. A character suffering 5 Madness counts as blacked out and is either catatonic or fleeing as best they can. | If a sufficient amount of Fear is inflicted, the affliction is called Trauma. Traumas increase the difficulty of attribute tests using Daring or Passion. A character suffering 4 Traumas is barely coherent, overwhelmed by fears and doubts. A character suffering 5 Traumas counts as blacked out and is either catatonic or fleeing as best they can. | If a sufficient amount of Injury is inflicted, the afflictions are called Wounds. Wounds increase the difficulty of attribute tests using Cunning or Might. Characters suffering 4 Wounds are so badly injured that they are barely capable of moving. A character that has taken 5 Wounds counts as blacked out and is unconscious or writhing in agony. |
| Recovery |
|---|
| When attempting to recover their Confusion during battle or treat their Madness naturally, characters should use an Empathy + Reason attribute test. The same test is used to assist an ally in recovering from Confusion or Madness. | When attempting to recover their Fear during battle or treat their Traumas naturally, characters should use a Daring + Reason attribute test. Characters attempting to assist with the Traumas or Fear of an ally should generally use Daring + Reason. | When attempting to recover their Injuries during battle or treat their Wounds naturally, characters should use a Might + Reason attribute test. Characters attempting to assist in the recovery of an ally should use Empathy + Reason. |
Afflictions are suffered when:
- 5 or more damage is inflicted at once.
- The target’s stress track is filled.
- The target takes damage with a stress track that is already full.
Characters are incapacitated at 4 Afflictions of the same type (unable to take any action without spending Luck) and blacked-out at 5 (Wounds = death, Trauma = destroyed confidence, Madness = insane) Monsters menace rating indicate how many Afflictions they can withstand
