[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7303428, member: 6779196"] Tracking the number of save successes and failures over the course of the week sounds like a lot of bookkeeping. Maybe successes and failures give cumulative bonuses and penalties to the next save, and when you get up to, say, +/-5, you move up or down a step respectively? These are good! You could bump the dried out mucus membranes by one and add hyper-secretion above it. The way I was thinking about it was that most people won’t even realize how 4 works before going up to 5. None of the previous symptoms cause HP loss, and being unable to recover HO isn’t a terribly uncommon disease symptom. If they even realize rest isn’t helping them recover from injuries, most people’s first instinct isn’t going to be to sleep in a pool of water. And if they do figure it out somehow, it gives them a better chance of surviving stage 5, which is incredibly brutal if you don’t figure out almost immediately that moistening the skin is the key to avoiding the damage. But you might be right that damage without regular moisture -> can’t heal unless underwater is a more natural progression than the other way around. [/QUOTE]
