Radiation Since the time of the antient machine wars the world has been filled with much Radiation and this can be deadly for your character. When a char receives radiation strong enough to effect them physically they roll a prowess check if they do not have enough success to resist the severity of the radiation they receive a level of radiation sickness. For each level of radiation sickness a character possess they have 1 wound that will not heal until the rad sickness is past or –1 to a random genetic stat. However they also have +1 d6 to all uses of chaos invocations as radiation charges chaos energy and allows one to channel it more intensely. Level 5 radiation sickness will start to make you emit level 1 radiation to all close to you and it will go up for every 5 after that. Removing rad sickness requiers either a decontamination station, Ant Rad Medication or Artifacts with this ability or lack of rad exposure for the number of days equal to the sickness grade. Invocations even alteration all carry some form of radiation with them and will likely only make things worse.
