What happens when you take a fourth superficial?

[Enlil]

(or 4 lights, 4 midis, etc)
I'm probably missing something, but, what happens?

I'm unsure whether you would take a light and erase the dots in sup, or you take a light wound.

(so, are 4 sups

3 sup/1 light
or 1 sup/1 light

?)

When you take a 4th Superficial, you mark a 4th Superficial on your PTGS, probably below the 3rd bullet point. You then take a +1 Ob penalty, in addition to the -1D penalty created by the previous 3 Supies.

So your total modifier is -1D, +1 Ob. A very bad place indeed.

When recovering from all those wounds, it'll still be from 4 Supies - not from a Light. 3 Supies equals the effects of 1 Light, but they are still considered 3 seperate Supies.

When it comes to other wounds, they are always treated seperate. 3 Lights don't equal anything but 3 Lights. Same for Midis, Sevs, and beyond.

Never erase wounds until they are treated or have healed by themselves, such as Supies can.

I don't have the revision yet, but in the modified classic version (as per the alternate wound tolerances download that more or less replaced the printed variant) 3 Su wounds meant that the +1 Ob got converted into a -1D. This doesn't mean (IIRC) that they are translated into a Li wound, just that the modification changes. If you get a fourth Su, you get the +1Ob back.

1 Su : +1 Ob
2 Su : - (the +1 Ob stands though)
3 Su : -1D (the +1 Ob is converted into -1D)
4 Su : -1D and +1 Ob

Li, Mi, Se, Tr (and Mo) stack as usual. 4 Li = -4D, 4 Se = -12D, but noone can take that much. Remember, if a stat or attribute reaches 0 you're out of the game until wound attention/treatment/healing changes the modifications.

the revision's on its way, Jocke.

That doesn't jive with the last line on pg. 194 in the rule book. It says - "The wounds are now considered single Light Wound for purposes of the penalties and recovery."

good catch, amnesiack. As you may or may not have noticed, Kublai ain't read the Revision.
