Bad Statuses

There are many Powers, Wares and customisations that gives 「Bad Status」 (abbreviated as BS). BS can cripple a character and create fatal openings. Each BS has an "intensity", and receiving multiple low intensity BS can result in it strengthening. If the BS share the same name, the intensity will stack. Characters who have received BS will have their fumble value increased by [total intensity of all BS combined] points. If a character with a fumble value of 2 receives 「Aroused 2」 and 「Restrained 1」, their fumble value will be 5. If they then receive 「Aroused 1」, the intensity of 「Aroused」 will become 3, and fumble value 6. All BS received will be removed the moment combat ends. While there are multiple kinds of BS, all of them are treated the same by the rule. The kinds of BS is listed below with their effects that should be utilised for RP in combat.

=Terrified= The character withers as fear and awe is implanted into them. Both attacks and counterattacks will take more concentration than usual.

=Restrained= The character is immobilised by tentacles or submission holds. Due to movement being limited, major openings can be created. If the participants wish so, it is fine to make use of lewd restraints for ERP.

=Confused= Bewilderment and confusion. The character cannot focus on the combat before them. Such a state can easily invite fatal mistakes.

=Ashamed= The character cannot maintain calm due to their clothes being stripped or their secrets being exposed. Due to the repressed state of mind, it is easy to have movement be restrained and unbalance one's mind. If there is a third party around, light ERP might occur.

=Aroused= The character's body ache in a sexual way due to aphrodisiac or suggestive stimuli. Being on the verge of drowning in sexual urges, they cannot act in a calm manner. It is also easy to utilise for ERP. Although it is removed after combat by default, it is fine to describe it with lingering effect for ERP.
