Title: Rules clarification, please
Post by: Ron Edwards on October 15, 2001, 10:35:00 PM
Jason,

Help us out a bit regarding monster-induced Darkening.

On page 44, it says, "... the Darkening can usually claim a child's soul at the rate of 1 point per 48 hours."

Is this an extension of the description of what happens when one's Soul drops to 3, or is it a general rule for what happens when a critter who can Darken you bites you? We cannot find rules about the latter anywhere else.

Hoping his character makes it through the next 48 hours of game time,
Best,
Ron

When a monster decides to Darken a child, the child will start to lose Soul at the rate of one point per 48 hours. From beginning to end, the child has less than three weeks left on their mortal contract unless something can be done.

Oh, thanks a LOT. Gonna be an interesting session on Thursday.

Seriously, though, thanks Jason. We're having a great game, and the Little Fears review is heading toward completion.

Best,
Ron
