Effects of Injury

Characters reduced to 10 Life Points or below are severely injured, and find it hard to continue fighting; all combat rolls are at a -2 penalty. If reduced below five Life Points, this penalty goes up to -4. At zero LPs or below, the character is knocked down, stunned and semi-conscious. A Consciousness Test (Constitution and Willpower minus the number of LPs below zero) is required to remain conscious. So, at -7 LPs, a Consciousness Test suffers a -7.

At -10 LPs, a Survival Test is required (Constitution and Willpower minus one for every 10 LPs below zero). The Survival Test must be passed once each minute until the character receives some doctor’n. Each additional Test is at a cumulative -1. A successful Intelligence and Doctor roll stabilizes the character.

Example: Jess, a White Hat, is bitten by a vampire for 51 points of damage before she can force it back with her cross. She had 38 LPs and is now at -13 LPs. Her Constitution is two and her Willpower is four. This total of six is reduced by one (she’s at -13) for her Survival Test. She needs to roll a four or better to live. If she lives, she must make a Consciousness Test to avoid passing out. This is at a -13, so unless she uses a Drama Point, she is going to go unconscious. If she does not receive any kind of medical attention, a minute later she has to make another Survival Roll with a -1 penalty.
