Dancer Rules: Portal jumps without stasis
Game rules
RAW, when someone jumps without entering stasis there's a 66% chance they're be absolutely fine, which doesn't seem as bad as the descriptive text suggests. Sure, a third of all travellers being horribly affected would be enough to make stasis the norm but still I'd like it to be more threatening.
Roll against current HP and current MP
Anyone jumping whilst awake must roll on both their health stats at their current, not maximum, levels. If you critical both rolls you're completely fine...

Health points roll
HP successes | Effect |
---|---|
3 | No physical harm |
2 | Broken and suffer 1 normal critical injury Note that survival can be assumed through the use of the house critical injury adjustments - with medical treatment still, of course |
1 | Broken and suffer 1 critical injury but the injury is caused by a permanent deformation of the body - the time to death is removed but the skill penalties are permanent unless they could be reversed through surgery |
0 | Killed by body deformation |
Mind points roll
MP successes | Time dilation | Effect |
---|---|---|
3 | Minimal: everything went a bit weird for a few moments but the trip seemed pretty instantaneous | No mental harm |
2 | The jump seems to take hours to complete and you're left stumbling around your ship in the worse drug-induced trip you've ever experienced for the whole time | On arrival: Broken and suffer 1 temporary meme for d6 days |
1 | The jump seems to take days to complete and it feels like you're stuck in a crazy dreamworld for the time - it's still a bit druggy but you're more lucid than someone who rolled 2 successes, not that this is necessarily enviable given the weird nature of the universe inside this portal... | On arrival: Broken and suffer 1 permanent meme |
0 | Effectively infinite: welcome to your new mental home - your mind never leaves portal space | Your body is alive but your mind is elsewhere |
