The Kid is the Alien archetype that I most wanted to play, because it was the one that you can't play in most games. (Well, you can't play a Synthetic in most games either but that is more of a "species" than an archetype. It would be especially fun to play a Synthetic kid, although it might have unfortunate implications.)

Thanks for the interest everyone! Now that I know there are plenty of willing recruits I'll get busy setting things up and will post a formal recruitment thread early next week. Expect a start date of around the second week of February. Rest assured, those who have responded here have their position as crew of the M.S OCCU-7 secured at their discretion. Stay Tuned.

Great! Thanks for your interest A J - time to get down to business... I suppose this has naturally evolved into a recruitment thread (should have seen that coming)...

 Reply: Arkham Horror: The Roleplaying Game:: Rules:: Re: Wounded (dice pool zero) with a nasty cut injury means character is stuck?
Posted: Fri, 23 Jan 07:03:22

by BardicSkaven

If a character’s dice pool limit is reduced to zero, the character
is wounded. A wounded character is one who has
suffered enough damage that they are at least temporarily
incapacitated or stunned. Unless a character has dice
added to their pool by other means, they cannot refill their
dice pool and thus cannot perform actions. Additionally,
the GM may rule that a wounded character has limits on
the number or types of free actions they can perform (such
as only being able to say a few words before becoming
overwhelmed by pain).
Unless specifically told otherwise, the only other thing
a character can do while wounded is to strain themself.

Although most characters become incapacitated due to
pain and minor harm when they suffer enough damage,
major characters such as the investigators are made of
sterner stuff. They get the option to grit their teeth and
press on through the pain.
A character can choose to strain themself at the start of
their turn, or at any point during a narrative scene, as long
as their dice pool limit has been reduced below their dice
pool maximum. Straining themself is not an action.
If a character chooses to strain themself during a structured
scene, this happens before characters refill their
dice pools.
If a character chooses to strain themself, they restore
their dice pool limit to their dice pool maximum. Then, at
the end of their current turn, they suffer one injury.
Injuries
Unlike damage, an injury is lasting harm. If a character
suffers enough injuries (or if those injuries are severe
enough), the character could find themself badly incapacitated,
entirely helpless, or even dead. Injuries include
afflictions like bleeding lacerations, broken limbs, and terrible
concussions.
