[QUOTE="daTim, post: 1807714, member: 1797"] I think -5 would be way too harsh. Just because your max sanity is only 70, you aren't going to have nearly that much sanity anyway. In all likelyhood you have seen so many horrors you were insane a long time ago. I have one CoC character that somehow survived to level 5, and had only 5 ranks in Mythos. This is also considering that most characters do not have 18 Wisdoms, so their sanity wont be that high anyway. If you consider a new character with a fairly high wisdom of 15 They have 15*5 Sanity or 75. Their maximum is 99 (I think). This means the first time they see something horrible they will have a 1 in 4 chance of losing sanity, they will then possibly gain a rank of Mythos. So now they are down to 72 (for example) and their maximum is 98. Losing sanity is such a downward spiral in the first place, I wouldnt make any harder on the players. You do want them to at least finish the adventure right? [/QUOTE]
