Stability Test

Ask for a Stability test whenever an event mentioned on the Stability loss table. It is usually described in the form “A n -point Stability test”

1. The Difficulty Number for Stability rolls usually 4.

2. The player may choose to spend any number of points from the Stability pool, to add to the final die result. These points are lost.

3. The player rolls a single die and adds the points; if the result is equal to or higher than the Difficulty Number, no points are lost, otherwise n points.

Simple Tests

A simple test occurs when the Investigator attempts a difficult action without

active resistance from another person or entity.

1. Assigning a Difficulty Number ranging from 2 to 8.You may reveal the

Difficulty number in Pulp games, except for Sense Trouble.

2. The player may choose to spend any number of points from the relevant

ability pool, to add to the final die result. These points are lost.

3.The player rolls a single die and adds the points; if the result is equal to or

higher than the Difficulty Number, the character succeeds.

Contests

Contests are ongoing tests which occur when two characters actively attempt

to thwart one another. Chases and auctions are examples.

1. Decide who goes first in order, first to flee, lowest rating, NPC, die roll.

2. Each participant takes turns to roll against a Difficulty, usually 4.

3. The player may choose to spend any number of points from the relevant

ability pool, to add to the final die result. These points are lost.

4. The player rolls a single die and adds the points; if the result is equal to

or higher than the Difficulty Number, the character succeeds.

5. The contest continues until a character fails a roll. The opponent wins.

Combat

Determine an order of action, ranking all participants in the combat

according to their present pool values in the fighting skills they’ll be starting

the fight with. Ties are broken in favor of characters with higher ratings in

those skills. This order is always used.

1. When called upon to act, each combatant may strike at any opponent

within range of his weapons.

2. The player may choose to spend any number of points from the current

fighting pool (Scuffling, Weapons or Firearms) to add to the final die

result. These points are lost.

3. For each attack (usually one), the participant rolls a single die and adds

the points; if the result is equal to or higher than the opponents Hit

Threshold, the participant succeeds.

4. The participant rolls damage, adjust according to weapon type and

armor .

Physical Injury and Death

Hurt

If your pool is anywhere from 0 to –5 , you are hurt , with a

few superficial cuts and bruises. Investigative abilities spends are not

permitted. The Difficulty Numbers of all tests and contests, including

opponents’ Hit Thresholds are increased by 1. Make a Conciousness roll.

Conciousness roll: You may deliberately strain yourself to remain

conscious, reducing your Health pool by an amount of your choice.

(You may not voluntarily reduce your Health pool below -11.) For

each point you reduce it, add 1 to your die result. The Difficulty of the

Consciousness roll is based on your Health pool before you make this

reduction.

First Aid: When you are hurt a character with the First Aid ability can

improve your condition. For every First Aid point spent, you regain 2

Health points — unless you are healing yourself, in which case you gain

only 1 Health point. First Aid can only refill your pool to where you

were before the incident in which you received this latest injury.

Seriously Wounded

If your pool is between –6 and –11, you have been seriously wounded.

You must make a Consciousness roll.

Whether or not you maintain consciousness, you are no longer able

to fight. Until you receive First Aid, you will lose an additional Health

point every half hour. A character with the First Aid ability can stabilize

your condition by spending 2 First Aid points. However, he can’t restore

your Health points.

After you receive first aid, you must convalesce in a hospital or similar

setting for period of forced inactivity is a number of days equal to the

absolute value of your lowest Health pool score. (So if you were reduced

to –8 Health, you are hospitalized for 8 days.) On the day of your

discharge, your Health pool increases to half its maximum value. On the

next day, it refreshes fully.

Dead

When your pool dips to –12 or below, you are dead .

Refreshing Abilities During Games

• Investigative abilities can only refresh between complete adventures, or major breakpoints in campaigns.

• Creatures Creatures not encountered for 24 hours refresh all but Health, which refreshes 1d6 per day.

If a creature is encountered later in the same day it can refresh all but Health up to half their rating.

• Three General pools except Health, Sanity and Stability can be refreshed once per session, in a save haven.

• Athletics, Driving, Firearms, Piloting, Riding, Scuffling and Weapons refresh 24 hours after the last expenditure.

• Health refreshes 2 points per day of restful activity. (See Injury table for First Aid for wounded characters)

• Stability can be recovered by following Drives (p. 73) Psychological Triage (see p.79) or Confidence rolls (see p. 79)
