Pure gold!In addition, a single flat penalty is much easier to manage in practice than either changes to abilities which have knock on effects to derived bonuses or masses of different penalties. Quick! What is the overall penalty from 3pts Dex damage from poison, being shaken and being nauseous at the same time!Finally, PCs are in control of the condition track, because they can take actions during the combat round to move themselves back up the condition track, thus it isn't a death spiral (which doesn't give you any way off the merry go round of death)Cheers</blockquote>
