Symptom Management

  • As mentioned on Ash's main page, he's developed some difficulties over the years. This page will act as a space for me to try developing a system to add a degree of randomness to when certain problems flare up and what difficulties this might result in, though I will not likely stick exclusively to using it (in part just because I won't be able to predict all cases where it might come up, in part to give some space for occasional plot convenience, etc).

    Some of the things Ash experiences make reference to or imitate real world conditions and experiences. Most of what Ash deals with, however, stems from all his work with experimental magics and will not necessarily (and often is not meant to) match the lived experiences of real people. If how I present something still seems problematic or you would like to share something you feel I might find useful in how I portray things, you are still welcome to send me a message about it.

    This is very much a WIP and I may not yet make much effort to remember to check it.

    Annoying to moderately painful tingling sensation which most commonly appears in hands and face, but may appear elsewhere in his body. Can be distracting and/or reduce his patience. Severe enough pain can make it difficult to impossible to appropriately use the body part. Roll D20 for prompting agitators or waking from sleep (-3 for typical rest, -5 for comfortable rest). Optionally roll D10 at random.
    1-4: No appearance
    5-8: Minor annoyance, mostly ignorable
    9-12 Moderate annoyance, increased distraction
    13-16 Mild pain, increased distraction, slightly increased stress
    17-20 Moderate pain, limited focus, limited patience, increased stress
    21+ Extreme circumstances may drive up pain severity
