skilled Sweat Dragons all applied their
Philosophies, the shift would never go
further than ten steps to the left. Likewise,
if twelve Lust Dragons tried to pump
euphoria to the maximum, the shift would
go no further than ten steps to the right.
• The active bonus is determined by
the leftmost open slot. The active penalty
is determined by the rightmost filled slot.
Never the two shall meet.
• A bonus is only applied when an
unmodified slot is pushed off the meter.
Though all possible permutations of the
Health Penalty Shift will be provided, this
information is provided should you wish
to modify the system.
• If the -1 penalty reaches the left
end of the meter, it will be pushed off in
the next step. Likewise, -2, -3, and -4 will
vanish as leftward steps progress. The
loss of these lower penalties is dependent
on how many health slots the meter
possesses. If the subject manages to
acquire more health slots, these lower
penalties are likely to reappear.
• If the +1 bonus reaches the right
end of the meter, it will be pushed off in
the next step. Likewise, +2, +3, and +4
will vanish as rightward steps progress.
The loss of these lower bonuses is also
dependent on how many health slots the
meter possesses. Though it may seem like
it, this really isn’t a good thing. Should
more health slots appear, these bonuses are
likely to reappear.
• The merit Iron Stamina from the
World of Darkness Rulebook (page 113)
may be treated as a rightward Health
Penalty Shift, the number of steps being
the same as the dots owned in the merit.
Obviously this is in place of its wound
penalty reduction, and mechanically it is
identical.
• No wound penalty or health bonus
will exceed 5. This limit does not apply to
situational penalties, which are applied
afterward. Again, this information is
provided should you wish to modify the
system.
