[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9573406, member: 6796468"] Honestly... I kinda love it. Though I think, maybe, the best way to do it is to make it ability specific. You're using your highest attribute to overcome the effect. Physical attributes, Str, Dex, and Con, gain Fatigue. Mental attributes, Int, Wis, and Cha, gain Strife. That way the penalty is always the harshest for what your character's likely build is, and it better represents HOW you overcome the stun/paralysis/etc. Add in a rule that you don't get a save against the effect at the end of your turn if you take the exhaustion mechanic, so that you're not able to completely negate the effect, only act against it. Maybe even add in a rule that you can only use this option a number of times per combat equal to your relevant ability modifier, too? That way it's both not a "Get out of Jail Free" card -and- it has limited uses so you have to pick your moment! Ooo... have it use your reaction on your turn to do? That way it still "Locks you down" between your turns when you're fighting against it? Could be fun. [/QUOTE]
