Once a Player Character, or sometimes, a named NPC, goes to zero V, they enter a Dying state.

Immediately upon Dying:

1. You gain one stack of Maimed,
2. You become Crippled
3. You also drop anything in your hands as you fall down.

If it is not your Turn yet, you are just considered Crippled, and may still use your Reaction as normal.

While Dying, at the start of your Turn, you make a Body Essence Roll vs. a fixed DC of 10, or a Dying Stratum Roll.

1. If you roll equal or higher than 10, you Gain a Recovery Stack, and progresses your Recovery State.
2. If you roll a 9 or lower, you gain a Dying State, and progressing your Dying State.
3. The sum of your Recovery States minus Dying States is known as your Dying Stratum.
4. Dying Stratum >= 0: Crippled
5. Dying Stratum = -1: Crippled, Unconscious
6. Dying Stratum = -2: Crippled, Unconscious
7. Dying Stratum = -3: Dead
8. If you reach 3 Recovery States first, the Dying status effect is removed, and you are just Crippled, until you gain 1 Vitality.
9. If you gain 3 Dying States first, you are Dead.
10. Each time you take damage while Dying, you gain a Dying State.
11. If you are critical struck while Dying, you gain 2 Dying States.
