module-toggle: replaces core injury · death determination

#Identity

Replaces core injury · death (Energy 0 → death determination) with grimdark · survival · narrative styles.

#§ Variant A: Critical-Injury Table (Grimdark)

Procedure:

1. On reaching Energy 0, roll the d100 critical-injury table (1~100).
2. Table results: 1~30 instant death, 31~60 permanent damage to a body part, 61~85 loss of consciousness (recoverable), 86~100 miraculous survival.
3. Body-part damage is permanent — checks related to that part take -2 (unrecoverable).

Critical-injury table (example):

Effect:

• Grimdark tone — death · permanent damage are everyday.
• Frequency of PC replacement increases.
• Users: horror · survival · war campaigns.

#§ Variant B: Long-Term Recovery (Survival)

Procedure:

1. On reaching Energy 0, a "serious wound" state rather than instant death.
2. Serious-wound recovery: 1 week (on-site first aid), 1 month (physician's treatment), 3 months (major trauma).
3. During recovery, other PCs proceed with action — the seriously wounded PC returns from the next season (chapter).

Effect:

• A serious wound is not permanent absence. The narrative can proceed.
• Compatible with 1st-expansion interludes · the season system.
• Users: long-term campaigns · narrative-centered.

#§ Variant C: Soul Points (Narrative Game)

Procedure:

1. Each PC holds 3 soul points at campaign start.
2. On reaching Wounds 0, consume 1 soul point → Wounds +5 recovery · unable to act for 1 session.
3. Soul points 0 + Wounds 0 = permanent death.
4. Soul points can be recovered at important campaign events (protagonist-grade decisions · self-sacrifice, etc.).

Effect:

• The idea of "surviving by the protagonist's will."
• PC death is decided at the point of PC + player agreement.
• Users: cinematic · manga · web-novel tone.

#§ Core vs Replacement Comparison

#§ Recommended Situations

• A critical injury: horror · survival · medieval grimdark
• B long-term recovery: 1st-expansion domain campaigns · season system
• C soul points: cinematic · manga · shonen manga tone

#§ Not Recommended

• A: casual sessions (frequent PC death)
• B: short-piece sessions (recovery time is long, hard to use)
• C: simulation · tactical campaigns (weak resource thinking)

#§ Transition Guide

• Core → A: print · prepare the critical-injury table. Declare at the campaign start point.
• Core → B: agree on the recovery timetable. Apply immediately.
• Core → C: grant all PCs 3 soul points. Apply immediately.
• Replacement → Core: immediate return. Discard soul points.
