Editing Break (section)

==Breaking Points==
Remember we mentioned you don't need to spend all your stat and trait points earlier? Here's why.

[PLACEHOLDERNAME]. It's equal to all your points left, plus three, times three. The first time you gain a number of Breaks equal to your [PLACEHOLDER], you hit a Breaking Point.

You can hold on to a Breaking Point for a while, but if you're hitting the number of breaks it takes to get one, like as not you'll need it.

Breaking Points are absolute. They cannot be Broken. If you use a Breaking Point, you succeed. Whatever you're trying to do works.

The downside? You can't break the cost. It works, and there will be consequences for it. You might cause untold harm, you might fail a secondary goal, or people might die. Hell, '''you''' might die. It's a Breaking Point. Shit will get fucked. Up.

You can choose to die. If the negative consequences would be too terrible, your character can die to succeed without them. But your dude's dead. Tough shit. No breaking it, no bringing 'em back. Dead.

If you survive a Breaking Point, you're Broken, for now. No Breaks, you're basically wiped out. Soon enough though, you'll be back on your feet, and sooner if a friend Breaks your condition.

However, keep a note of how many Breaking Points you've had. The more you have, the worse the consequences get. The more you might have to sacrifice to stay alive, to keep going, to succeed.
