Instead of a single Hit Point total, characters track a short ladder of named Health Levels — from Bruised, through Hurt, Injured, Wounded, Mauled, and Crippled, down to Incapacitated — each imposing a growing dice pool penalty. Damage comes in three types: Bashing (blunt trauma, easiest to heal), Lethal (cuts, gunshots, more serious), and Aggravated (fire, claws of the supernatural, the hardest to heal and the type that actually threatens most supernatural creatures).
