This module contains Effects that can be acquired by the characters during the game.
The game organizer determines whether this module will be used, and may place a restriction that only certain categories of Effects may occur in the game (for example, only physical Trauma effects).
Effects are represented by notes with the name, type and description of the effect.
The player can receive such note in certain game situations - revival, drinking a potion, interaction with a game object, etc. They must read the note and keep it as a reminder. Until the effect is removed in any way, the player must play it in good faith according to the description on that note.
If a character uses a Skill that removes an effect of a certain type from another character and the other character has more than one effect of that type, the character whos used the Skill chooses which effect to remove.
Example: A player has received 2 Notes with physical Trauma effects. The character of another player who is a Medic performs an Operation (Skill) that removes a physical Trauma effect of the patient. The Medic "examines" the patient, learns the trauma effects affecting them, performs the operation and chooses to remove one of them.
These effects are acquired by interacting with a game object or by applying a Skill and notifying the player whose character is affected. The notification is made by handing over a Note describing the effect or by explaining it discreetly.
Permanent effects are not cleared upon Death - they remain until they are removed in a special way.
Trauma effects are acquired by being revived in a Sanctuary if where is a container with such effects.
Each revived character must revert place in the box one of the previous Trauma effects affecting them (if any) and take one randomly selected Trauma Effect note, read it, and follow it until the effect is removed from them or they die again.
If a character gains two identical effects, the player retains both and applies only one - but their character must be cured from both of them to get rid of the effect.
Unless they are removed with Skill or Revive, Trauma effects remain for the entire duration of the game.
Different categories of Trauma effects are eliminated with different Skills.
