Oxygen-Points, Explanation of:
Your character’s MENTAL-STRENGTH x3 will be a character's Oxygen-Points (O.P.). This is how long you can hold your breath.
Holding your breath:
While a character is holding his or her breath. oxygen-points will be taken off. The number of oxygen-points that will be taken off depends on whether a successful avoidance-roll vs. “Breath” is rolled or not.
Look at the following chart to see the amount of oxygen-points that will be lost, PER TURN, while holding your breathing:
Avoidance-roll vs. Avoidance-roll vs.
Activity vs. “Breath” successful. “Breath” unsuccessful.
oxygen-point loss: O.P. expended per turn: O.P. expended per turn:
Motionless: 1-D4 2-D4
Moving about casually: 1-D6 2-D6
Swimming, Running, Fighting, etc.: 1-D8 2-D8
Once oxygen-points reach zero, a character will pass out. When oxygen-points reach, in the negatives, equal to a character’s full amount of oxygen-points, death will occur. In other words, if a character has 90 oxygen-points, he or she will die if they recede below zero to -90.
