Strain

Strain represents how much strain your mind has undergone.

Strain has no effect until it passes your Strain Threshold:

• 10 + Wis bonus

When your Strain total surpasses your Strain Threshold, you begin to suffer -1 to Int, Wis, and Cha. The Wis penalty does not affect your Strain Threshold.

Also, whenever your Strain is higher than your Strain Threshold, you suffer the following effect:

• Strained: Your rate of gain for Mana, Vitae, etc is halved. Whenever you would gain multiple points, you gain half (round down). Whenever you would gain a single point, there is a 50% chance you will not gain the point.

Strain cannot be healed with magic or items. It may only be healed through natural rest.

You may not heal any Strain until you have completed 8 hours without gaining any Strain. After that point, you are healed of 1 Strain per hour.
