A more severe version of Fragile (Unnatural)
I originally asked this in the "Fragile as limitation" thread, but the thread went to other places.
If I'm reading the description of Fragile (Unnatural) correctly, it kills you once you fall to -1xHP; effectively, you automatically fail death checks. However, unless I'm misreading the 3e version (Unliving), worth the same, was a bit more severe: you die as soon as you go into negative hp. How much more should that version be worth? |

As Bruno mentioned in the original Fragile thread, dying at 0 HP is basically "Double Unnatural", and Kromm confirmed its official existence in Magic: Death Spells, which prices it at -100 points, comparable to the highest level of Terminally Ill.

Re: A more severe version of Fragile (Unnatural)
Thanks! I'll check out that supplement.
Edit: hmm, the supplement doesn't give an official name for the variant, and "double unnatural" sounds kind of silly. What'd be a good name for it? Last edited by Bicorn; 10-18-2018 at 06:46 PM. |

Descriptive certainly, if a bit plain.

I have been known to wear amusing hats and make "zany" statements.

For a serious name, I can't come up anything besides "Unnatural + Intensifier", like Fragile (Unnatural, Enhanced). Boring... Maybe Unnatural (Precarious)? Meh...
