Temporary Insanity

Whenever an investigator loses 5 or more Sanity points from a single roll, he or she has suffered enough shock that the keeper must test Sanity, and asks for an Idea roll: if the roll succeeds, then the investigator realizes the full significance of what was beheld, and goes temporarily insane.

If the Idea roll fails, then the investigator does not go mad, but in consequence may not clearly remember what he or she experienced - a trick of the mind to protect itself.

Temporary Insanity Table

* Successful application of Psychoanalysis may alleviate or erase temporary insanity.

Indefinite Insanity

If the character loses 20% (one-fifth) or more of his or her total Sanity in 1 hour, he or she goes indefinitely insane. The Keeper judges when the impact of events calls for such a measure. Beginning immediately, indefinite insanity lasts 1D6 months, or until the Keeper indicates.
