| Every Character will have some amount of Corruption, so don't be concerned that your brand new Character will go Feral any time soon, unless you're going really crazy with your Character's IRIS. Specifically, this includes any bonuses to your Character's Traits, Augs or Skills you enhance your Character with. As you play, any further Trait ranks, Skill ranks and Augs you buy will also increase Corruption, so be cautious with your choices. Weapons, Armor, Equipment and Extensions have no impact on Corruption. | Every Character will have some amount of Corruption, so don't be concerned that your brand new Character will go Feral any time soon, unless you're going really crazy with your Character's IRIS.

| * When, where and how often Corruption triggers is entirely at the Director's discretion, provided there is reasonable cause, as described in the [[gameplay:corruption#corruption_table|Corruption Table]] below. Whenever Corruption triggers, the Director may make secret tests for each affected Character to see if or when Corruption Breaks. As a general rule, Characters who have already succumbed to corruption once or twice in a given session should probably be allowed to avoid further instances without testing. | * When, where and how often Corruption triggers is entirely at the Director's discretion, provided there is reasonable cause, as described in the [[gameplay:corruption#corruption_table|Corruption Table]] below.

| + | ==== Handling Corruption ==== | ||
| + | Each round your Character is affected by Corruption, you or the Director begins by making an Endurance roll. These scores are added cumulatively until the total equals or beats the Character's corruption level, at which point the Corruption ends. Until then, you have to deal with the effects of Corruption on your Character. Generally, your actions decide what happens without you needing to explicitly "select" one option: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Obey Corruption**: You take action which continues on the path of your current Corruption. This gives bonuses to your actions for 1 round or 1 minute, but raises your Corruption by 1 each time you do so. | ||
| + | * **Embrace Corruption**: You actively abandon yourself to the Corruption, consumed by fear, drunk with greed, blinded by obsession. This gives double bonuses to your actions for 1 round or 1 minute, but raises your Corruption by 2 each round until Corruption Breaks on its own. This choice cannot be revoked once committed to. | ||
| + | * **Resist Corruption**: You take action which defies the will of your IRIS. This can include inaction. This gives bonuses to your Endurance test for the round, but inflicts penalties on any other actions you take. Your Corruption will not increase during rounds you Resist. | ||
