injuries (Suffered aggravated wounds to
every slot) all of her wounds become
resistant, and she will not revive until her
final three slots have cleared.

Provided someone does not intervene and
hasten the speed of her recovery, six weeks
after she perished:

three aggravated wounds clear out, and the
resistant marks with them. That means that
it will take six weeks for her body to be
ready, and then an additional six to fourteen
weeks before she’s back to healthy.
(Note: Though resistant wounds cannot be
healed by supernatural means, their mending
can be accelerated by natural ones. This
includes the Quick Healer Merit, which can
be found in the World of Darkness
Rulebook on page 113.)
Citing Citing Sources Sources
Sources
The previous two health complications
(Trauma and Resistant Injuries) are
embellished versions of systems found in
other White Wolf products, the prior
loosely based on a system found in Scion
and the latter similarly derivative of a
system found in Mage the Awakening.
This mention is to credit the source of
the inspiration, though, as the
complications found in the two
previously mentioned titles differ from
the versions found in this book. While
Trauma may be called a “new affliction”
in this book, such referral is in reference
to the new World of Darkness, and not to
White Wolf products in general.
Allergy Allergy to to to Jadeite
Jadeite
Believed to be a house for the virtues
of mankind, true Chinese hard jade (Jadeite)
inflicts grievous, unnatural wounds to the
Oroboroi. Some believe this is a built-in
secret weapon of the original dragons,
designed to punish the Oroboroi when they
seized power during the Collapse. Others
say the faith poured into the precious stone
over the centuries has given it properties of
the Dreamtide, and that shared trait is what
makes it so effective against draconic flesh.
Whatever the case, it is a long-held secret,
and the jade statues are the hint.
Any weapon that has touched hard
jade (Jadeite) within 9 seconds (3 turns) of
striking an Oroboroi inflicts aggravated
damage. Weapons that are actually made of
Jade, though incredibly rare, are even more
effective as the wounds they inflict are
resistant (such weapons would have to be
made from scratch, as Dragons are holy
creatures in China and a weapon designed to
murder them would never be forged). Most
would-be dragon-slayers keep a jade trinket
to pass over their blades or bullets during the
fight. Soft jade (Nephrite) and cheap
forgeries that may look like hard jade do not
possess the same quality that Jadeite does,
and thus have no effect on the damage a
weapon inflicts.
Health Health Penalty Penalty Shifts
Shifts
Prompted by the use of the Sweat or
Lust Philosophies, a Health Penalty shift
takes all the penalties on the health meter
and slides them to the left or to the right, as
specified by the philosophy used. This
makes the penalties more severe, or grants
bonuses for high states of health. There are
restrictions, though.
• Left shifts and Right shifts cancel
each other out. Having the penalty shift
three steps left and four steps right means
it moves only one step right. As four is
the larger number, three is subtracted from
it and it determines the direction of the
shift.
• The maximum number of steps the
penalty can shift is ten. Even if twelve
