Survival mechanic
Repeated status effects
Getting a status effect again never adds the two durations together: the stronger level wins, and at equal level the longer time wins.
Rules
| Same level | The remaining time is replaced only when the new duration is longer. A shorter one changes nothing. |
| Stronger level | A stronger effect takes over at once. If it is shorter than the current effect, the weaker one is kept waiting in the background. |
| Weaker level | A weaker effect that lasts longer than the active one is kept waiting in the background. A weaker effect that is shorter is ignored. |
| After the stronger effect | When the stronger effect runs out, the waiting one returns with the time it has left. Its time keeps running while it waits. |
| Infinite effects | An infinite effect counts as longer than any timed one. |
