Very elegant mechanic. Do you have your characters roll for Sanity like a stat? Do characters slowly go crazy as they lose Sanity, or does that only happen with Sanity is zero?
ReplyDeleteI treat sanity as HP, at the character creation you multiply your WIS score by 5. Any sanity loss occurs you substract it from sanity points.
