Determination


Originally by Matthew Lahtinen and Anthony Botz

If this if you fail a death check and begin to Shuffle Off the Mortal Coil. You can avoid collapsing, but at a price. You have a short lease on life. A number of things will worsen your condition.

  • Each attack that causes further damage to you
  • Each Sequence during which you fight or move furiously
  • Every five minutes you remain passive, remaining still or slowly stumbling about

If you take enough damage while using this schtick that you reach the instantaneous death point, it's all over.

The effect ends when you die, or when a medic successfully stabilizes your wounds. You cannot elect to end it voluntarily, but you can try to make a Constitution check in place of a Medicine roll for a stabilization attempt, with the usual penalty for failure.
