Mental State System

Mental State is the sanity of a character. Through the use of dark magics as well as having curses will decrease a characters mental state and cause adverse effects such as psychosis. Normal characters start at 0 mental state. The lowest a character can be is -50. Every 10 points away from 0 a character must take the sanity modifier determined by how far away they are from 0

A character's mental state can be increased through therapy or drugs as well as light magic cleansing, though some curses make light magic cleansing impossible. Therapy increases mental state by 10, drugs by 15 and cleansing by 30. This cannot make a characters mental state go past 0, only increase their mental state to 0. Having close friendships or love interests can also increase a characters mental state by 10 but if these friends/lovers are lost, the characters mental state is decreased by 20.
