| - | * RESISTANCE | + | * RESPONSES |
| - | * When your Corruption is triggered, you make a choice: either resist or obey. | + | * When your Corruption is triggered, you make a choice: Resist it or Embrace it. |
| - | * If you want to resist, make an Endurance Skill test. | + | |
| - | * The difficulty for this test is half your Corruption level, rounding fractions up. | + | |
| - | * For example, if you have Corruption 15, you would need to score 8AP on the Endurance Skill test. This is because half of 15 is 7.5, which is rounded up to 8. Therefore, you need to score 8AP. | + | |
| - | * If you pass, you resist the Corruption and it can't be triggered again for the rest of the scene. | + | |
| - | * If you fail, check the Corruption Triggers table and suffer the consequences for your Corruption level. Your Corruption can't be triggered again for the rest of the scene. | + | |
| - | \\ | + | * RESIST |
| - | + | * To Resist the Corruption, tell your Director, then make an Endurance Skill test. | |
| - | \\ | + | * The difficulty for this test is your IRIS level. |
| + | * The test requires 1 full round (5s). | ||
| + | * You may spend 1 Stamina to gain +5 Score any number of times. If your Stamina falls below 0, you fail. | ||
| + | * If you pass, the Corruption recedes and you cannot be Triggered in the same way for the rest of the session. | ||
| + | * If you fail, choose a possession result, from Attraction, Aversion or Zeal or lose 1 Stamina per 5 missing Score to pass. then for every 5 Fail (missing score) you suffer -1 Score on any actions contrary | ||
| + | * If you can't score high enough, or if the Stamina cost reduces your Stamina below 0, you succumb to Possession. Choose from an Attraction, Aversion or Zeal result. After the choice, you suffer +2 IRIS level (fixed). | ||
| + | * When Possession ends, you return to normal and cannot be Triggered in the same way for the rest of the session. | ||
| + | * If the Stamina drain reduced your Stamina below 0, you will be left with exactly 0 SP when Possession ends. | ||
| - | * OBEDIENCE | + | * EMBRACE |
| - | * When your Corruption is triggered, you make a choice: either resist or obey. | + | * If you want to Embrace the Corruption, tell your Director, choose an Attraction, Aversion or Zeal result at your Corruption Rating, then roll an Endurance test. |
| - | * If you obey voluntarily, there are several effects: | + | * For every 5 Fail, gain +1 Stamina immediately. This can exceed your normal maximum until Possession ends. |
| - | * Check your rank in the Resolve Trait. Instantly gain that many Stamina. | + | * For every 5 Fail, gain +1 Score on actions obedient to your Possession choice. |
| - | * Gain +5AP for your next Skill test. | + | * For every 5 Fail, Suffer +1 IRIS Level. |
| - | * Check the Corruption Triggers table and suffer the consequences for your Corruption level as normal. | + | |
| - | * You cannot obey voluntarily after failing an attempt to resist. | + | |
| - | * Generally, the benefit of obedience is using the Stamina and AP bonuses to (hopefully) resolve the trigger as quickly as possible, before the situation can get any worse. | + | |

| - | * Choose a Corruption Consequence at your Corruption level and suffer its effects as normal. | + | |

For example if you have Stamina 10, then dropping to -10 Stamina or less causes **permanent death**. Make a new Character. |
| * If your Health ever goes fully negative, you Die. No action can prevent this. For example, if you have 20 Health, then dropping to -20 Health or less causes **permanent death**.
