Does Weakness Scale with HP?

Weakness does not scale with HP. If it did. it would say so -- or there would at least be a rule somewhere in the books about negative effects scaling with HP. (There is a box about how healing scales with HP, but it's very explicit that this only applies to effects which let you recover HP, not harmful effects.)

If you have a 1d/minute Weakness, you take 1d/minute whether you have HP 4 or HP 400. If the GM feels that this is a problem, it would certainly be a reasonable house rule to scale Weakness in his campaign -- but that's definitely a house rule, not RAW.
