STRENGTH AND STRENGTH DRAIN

Some of the more nasty creatures and some poisons have the ability to drain a character’s strength. For a normal character without strength the effect is dire.

• 1 strength drain will reduce the victim to a weakness that will prevent them from fighting and anything attempted must be done in time slow.
• 2 strength drains will reduce the character’s strength so that they must collapse.  While in this state all the victim can do is breathe and keep their heart beating.
• 3 strength drains is fatal.

If the character has the strength skill, this will be lost on the first drain, and then any subsequent drains will effect as per a normal victim.

The healing of a strength drain can be done by magic or through the natural process. Natural healing takes 1 day in game time for each strength drain (unless dead of course).
