-Second, the winner can turn the number of successes they rolled into a Condition. Conditions can be invoked (at the cost of 1 Will point) to contribute dice to a pool. Conditions are temporary Aspects that belong to the setting / scene / situation. To create a condition just say (or write down) what it's called and how many dice it has. +Second, the winner can turn the number of successes they rolled into a Condition.

 Third, the loser crosses off the box on their Power track equal to the number of successes that the winner rolled. If the loser would rather not cross off a box, they can create an Injury Condition for their character instead. If the box is already crossed off, cross off the next highest available box AND create an Injury Condition equal to the box that was crossed off! Third, the loser crosses off the box on their Power track equal to the number of successes that the winner rolled.

Line 17: Line 17:
 A Condition lasts until it goes away naturally as a result of the fiction, or until someone does something to get rid of it. You make a Recovery roll against a Condition to get rid of it; just reduce the Condition by the number of successes you roll. (Conditions don't have Power tracks.) Other characters can make Recovery rolls to help you. This can be actual doctoring / first aid (for physical injuries), pep talks / encouragement for "social injuries," and so on. Successes reduce the severity of the Injury die for die. A Condition lasts until it goes away naturally as a result of the fiction, or until someone does something to get rid of it.

-Since Conditions are Aspects, you can also get rid of them by spending Advances. +[I need a rule for temporary Conditions becoming permanent Aspects]
- +
-As usual, this is all governed by fictional positioning. If you get cut up, the cuts will eventually heal and the Condition will go away on its own as game time passes. If you're Ashamed and Embarrassed it might just evaporate when you start the next scene. If your arm got cut off, it won't grow back (unless you're an axolotl). +

-You can spend an advance to move a 1D Aspect to your Background. (You'll still only have one arm, but it won't cause you problems or give you advantages, mechanically.)+

-The Power track is like temporary hit-points. It is fully restored by having a Refreshment scene with another character.

 I like Eero's rule that when you have a refreshment scene you're letting your guard down. So you get to heal up whenever you want, but when you do the GM gets to fuck with you. I like Eero's rule that when you have a refreshment scene you're letting your guard down.

-Refreshment scenes also restore your Will pool, if it has fallen below its starting value. If you have more Will than the starting value, you don't lose the extra Will. (Or maybe Will just can't go over its maximum, which means if your Will is full, people can invoke Aspects against you for free.) +Refreshment scenes also restore your Will if it has fallen below its starting value.

 In addition to triggering Injury Effects, the Power track also determines when you're knocked out of a confrontation. Whenever the last (highest) box of the Power track is crossed off, you're out of the scene. In addition to triggering Injury Effects, the Power track also determines when you're knocked out of a confrontation.
