WOIN NEW diseases and linked conditions

[MacD]

Hi there,
some diseases in NEW use the Word debilitated; there is no such condition or further explanation and I dont think sonething like radiation sickness has no influence besides fluff - as it's described very severe...

Radiation inflicts the "SICK" condition. (p. 174) Also listed on the "Environments" chart, p. 183

Yes, irradiated environment causes sickness.
But which condition are caused from
Radiation sickness and Rigelian fever?

These both would cause the SICK condition. Just my opinion, but I don't think there was an intention to different "radiation sickness" from exposure to radiation environmentally. I guess you can have some kind of attribute check periodically to see if an unprotected/unshielded character becomes sick at the 1st level on the track due to continued exposure to radiation over time. If they do succumb and they continue to be exposed to the radiation, keep having the character make the checks periodically to see if the SICK condition worsens to the 2nd level.

The "debilitated" wording is a holdover from the v1.1 Nausea Status Track. (Queasy/Sick/Nauseated/Debilitated) "Nauseated" had the PC spending one action vomiting, and "Debilitated" increased that to both actions.

1.2 pared the Status Tracks down to a smaller set of two-tiered conditions.

So Radiation poisoning would result in an Illness that hampers your PC with the SICK condition until they are either cured through treatment, or their END pool depletes, leading to DEATH.

That's it! I knew about the v1.1 condition system but never thought about looking there.
So it's simply sick/double sick.

Thank you very much
