Health Levels

What were you looking for exactly?

Health levels track your character's physical condition—like how much damage she's just taken from a deathknight's foul necromantic spell—and the penalty imposed on your character's dice pool for each level of injury sustained.

Most humans, including Solar Exalted without the Resistance Charm Ox-Body Technique, have seven health levels, ranging from Bruised to Incapacitated. Unless your character has extras, she has one -0 health level, two -1 health levels, two -2 health levels, one -4 health level and one Incapacitated health level.

Health Level	Default Amount	Penalty
Bruised	1×	-0
Hurt	2×	-1
Wounded	2×	-2
Crippled	1×	-4
Incapacitated	1×	—
Dying	1×	—

Damage Types

Different damage types include Bashing, Lethal, and Aggravated damage.

Bashing: use a slash	⧄
Lethal: use an X	☒
Aggravated: use an asterisk	⧆

This way, if damage is converted from a lesser to a more serious type, you don't have to erase first.
