Degeneration

Each skill or attribute has a number associated with it, which represents how long it takes that skill/attribute to degenerate (ie. decrease).

If the PC goes a day without gaining any XP in that skill/attribute, the number decreases by 1. If she does gain XP, the number is reset to its maximum value. If the PC goes so long without gaining any XP that the number gets to zero, the skill/attribute will decrease by 1 (although each skill/attribute has a minimum that it can't go below), and the number is reset.

Certain actions accelerate this process. For example, if the PC gets wasted, the degeneration numbers for her Strength, Endurance, and Intelligence will decrease. If she wears flat-soled shoes for a period of time, the degeneration number for her Heels skill will decrease.

The [[Inhibition]] skill is immune to degeneration.
