“Everything costs more than it should. And it keeps getting worse.”
You’re running on empty. Fatigue accumulates from exertion, deprivation, or prolonged strain — and each tier makes everything harder. Let it build long enough and it kills you.
Effect: Each tier of Fatigue applies cumulatively: subtract the tier value from all Trials and from all Defensive Ratings. While any tier of Fatigue is present you also suffer Hobbled and Staggered. At 10 tiers of Fatigue, you die.
Removal: Each Rest removes 1 tier of Fatigue. A full Recovery removes all tiers.
