Petrification Condition

The character was exposed to a freezing or paralyzing effect and risks to turn into a solid block of inert matter.

Effect

This Status Effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to one plus any additional hits garnered on the action roll spent to inflict the petrification. For its duration, the character suffers a Major Complication on all actions. If not bought off, the character’s physical Attributes are reduced by 1 until the end of the scene. Should they all reach 0, the character cannot move until they receive help.

Resolution

The character can attempt to overcome the effect by dedicating a simple action using Survival + Stamina or Occult + Resolve (difficulty 2), or the time lapses. Restoring petrified characters to life asks for a Medicine or Academics + Intellect action (difficulty 3), depending on what rendered them paralyzed.
