Vitality is the character's life pool. It is roughly representative of the durability of a character.

When a human reaches 0 overall vitality, they become unconscious and stop breathing. If they reach negative their max vitality, they die.

Influencing Vitality

Many Afflictions lower vitality, often inflicted through various Weapons or Chemicals. Afflictions are usually cured with other chemicals, Medical Items, or simply over time.

Vigor dampens the effect of vitality penalties, effectively multiplying character health.

When a human reaches 0 vitality, they become unconscious and stop breathing. Unconscious characters can be resuscitated by treating their wounds and successful CPR or another means of restoring oxygen flow. If they reach negative their max vitality, they die.

Limbs

All creatures have limbs, each with their own vitality. Some limbs may take more damage than others. Humans take different Vitality damage based on what limb is hit.

Head:
2x Vitality decrease from Damage (Affliction Type).

Torso:
2x Vitality decrease from Bleeding
Note that this does not increase the amount of Bloodloss that Bleeding causes, only the small amount of vitality loss that is caused by bleeding directly.
Arms & Legs:
0.5x Vitality decrease from Damage (Affliction Type).

A human has 6 limbs: Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right leg, the Torso, and the Head. Damage to the head is twice as effective as damage to the torso. Damage to the other limbs are half as effective. This only apply to Damage type wounds. For example, Burn damage will have equal scale on every limb.

Human Vitality

A human has a base of 100 or 110 Max Vitality, depending on their Job. This max can be increased via various talents, or decreased by receiving the Tainted gene debuff Decrepify.
All talents that add max vitality add it additively, and give additional maximum health based on the character's original max health. (for example a medic (110 base vitality) with Example of Health (+20% vitality) will gain 22 extra maximum vitality.)
