Circumstantial Markers

When different conditions occur, often during combat but also in other cases, there are different markers that can (or will) be placed on a character (or enemy) token. These images represent various circumstances. Often these are restrictions or perhaps buffed effects that grant benefits or render penalties; however, some of these conditions simply represent status, movement or other mnemonic that will add in the game. The explanation of each will be detailed below. If multiple effects exist, the effects may neutralize others. As for multiple instances of the same benefit or penalty, these are typically not cumulative with only the strongest in effect. That said; there are a few that will have an increased effect, which will be designated in the explanation.
