Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Four:Special Rules and Systems (section)

=== Orphan Sustenance: ===

An orphan does not retain its bound Mania, which normally supplies it with some kind of machine-homeostasis. This means that regardless of how the orphan comes about, the result is the same: the orphan begins to break down unless it can somehow regain Mania.

Every day that passes, an orphan loses one point of Mania. Every day that goes by without any Mania in the orphan's system triggers a Havoc check.

If an orphan is full of Mania, every additional point of Mania consumed removes one extra fault.

Even if not full of Mania, an orphan can heal itself by spending Mania. Most orphans possess Structure instead of Health. Every point of Mania restores one point of lost Structure. For organic orphans, every point of Mania restores two levels of Bashing damage or one level of Lethal damage. Three points of Mania and a point of Willpower can remove one level of Aggravated damage.
