• Conditions represent the myriad of ways you can be hurt outside of Wounds
• Conditions may end at the conclusion of a scene at the GM’s discretion

• When this happens, the penalties stack, e.g.:

• Bleeding (3) – 3 Mortal Wounds at the end of each of your Turns
• If suffering more than one condition at once, similar penalties don’t stack, use only the worst penalty
• Defence can be reduced to a minimum of 1
• A character can’t take an action that would voluntarily reduce their Defence below 1

Exhausted

• On your Turn, you can only Walk or Crawl, perform a basic Combat Action (attack with no combat options, such as Aim or Multi-Attack), or Fall Back
• Additionally, you may not roll Determination

• Alternatively, you can attempt to ignore the flames and take your Turn as normal
• Make a DN 3 Willpower Test; if you fail, you are Hindered

Pinned

• If someone uses a Pinning Attack against you, they make a Ballistic Skill (A) Test against your Resolve
• If they succeed, you are Pinned until the start of the attacker’s next Turn
