|tiptext=Here are a few example examples of special situations and tips for GMs on how to handle them.<br/>* '''In general''': If a player character with active, temporary secondary effects spends any length of time in a town, intersection, or other civilized area, the turn counter of these effects can be considered to fall to zero (and therefore deleted). If they're only passing through for a brief period of time, however, it's recommended to leave the counters as-is. This should be decided at the GM's convenience and discretion.* '''(1) Cyanide Poisoning''': If a player character with Cyanide Poisoning somehow manages to reach medical staff of any kind (hospital room a [[medic, meds shop owner...) ]] or a [[nurse]] before dying, consider giving them a [[Meds|Hydroxocobalamin]] syringe so that they can be cured immediately. If they must charge for the service, it should be no higher than [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''200'''.* '''(2) Nausea''': If player characters force themselves (or are somehow forced) to use food while under nausea, the resulting effect should be to make these characters throw up and gain none of the effects or nutrition from the food.

* '''(5) On fire''': When using incendiary weapons that cannot be aimed on at an individual body part, such as a [[Molotov cocktail]], a random body part is rolled for each creature affected. If the creature isn't entirely immune to fire, and if the body part rolled isn't protected by fire-retardant clothing, then that creature is set on fire.

* '''(7) Acid degradation''': Mounted bayonets, underbarrel grenade launchers , and underbarrel shotguns count as separate weapons, as they have their own Condition values. If a targeted weapon does not have a condition rating (e.g. [[Shuriken]], [[Longbow]], [[M67]]...), that weapon is destroyed and removed from inventory.
