That's what we do ! The PC make a RR adjusted by +SD -EM (important : LESS empathy bonus). Then the results are :
Done, >+10 : (A-50) depression (will PC be fairly depressive ?) Done, +0 - +10 : (A-20) depression, (A-50) stress, (A-50) shock Failed, -1 to -10 : A depression, (A-20) stress, (A-50) shock Failed, -11 to -20 : B depression, A stress, (A-20) shock Failed, -21 to -40 : C depression, B stress, A shock Failed, -41 to -60 : D depression, C stress, B shock Failed, -61 to -80 : E depression, D stress, C shock Failed, -81 to -100: (E+5) depression, E stress, D shock Failed, <-100 : (E+10) depression, (E+5) stress, E shock
All crits. are rolled independantly (ie. dont keep a roll for the 3 crits).
If wou want this to be less deadly, exchange 'depression' with 'shock' or 'stress', and/or dont ajust E crits by +5/+10.
