'''Synergy:''' Any Constitution Skill

'''Description:''' Constitution represents your health and stamina.

When you are hit in combat, you first lose hit points. When all hit points are lost, damage makes you lost constitution points.

'''Constitution Damage effects'''

: '''Disabled: 0 Constitution'''
:: When your Constitution drops to exactly 0, you're disabled: every action done take one more initiative category. You also suffer from 1 point of bleeding wound that cannot be healed until you Constitution is higher than zero again.
: '''Dying: -1 Constitution or Lower'''
:: When your Constitution drops below 0, you are dying. A dying character immediately falls unconscious and can take no actions. You regain consciousness only when your Constitution reaches 0 or more ranks. A dying character loses 1 Constitution rank every long action. This continues until the character dies or becomes stable.
:: Each long action you are dying, you make a Constitution check DC 10 + your negative Constitution score. You can add your normal constitution bonus to that roll as if you were not hurt at all. If you failed your check, you’re dead. On a success, you still live, but lose another point of Constitution. On a total success, you stabilize and do not need to do further check and do not lose :: Constitution every long action anymore. Another character can make you stable with a Treat Injury check DC 15.
: '''Dead: Double your constitution ranks in damage'''
:: If for any reason, you lost in ranks is double your Constitution rank, you’re dead even if you succeed in your Constitution check. :: Your body is still mostly complete and organs could be removed for transplantation. Robots still have their memory chips intact and can be put in another body.
: '''Destroyed: Triple your constitution rank in damage'''
:: If you lose three times your Constitution, your body is completely destroyed and cannot be restored. For robots, this mean that even their memory chips have been destroyed and they cannot be put in a new body.
