Depending on the current Pain level of the character, various states and effects exist:
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:10pt;text-align:center"
''"Pain Blackout Threshold", "Pain Death Threshold", "PBT" and "PDT" redirect here.''
The two Pain Threshold stats, '''Pain Blackout Threshold''' and '''Pain Death Threshold''', are percentage values representing the amount of Pain needed for this a given creature to, respectivelyand as the names imply, pass out, blackout and die. * Pain Blackout Threshold is 100% by default and is not normally affected by any effects or items. Some player characters may have a different PBT, usually defined during [[character customization]].* Pain Death Threshold is defined as "PBT + 50%" and is fixed. Since PBT is 100% by default, that means PDT is 150% by default in turn.
By defaultAs a rule of thumb, NPCs should always have a character's PBT is of 100% (meaning they ''blackout'' at 100% Pain), and thus a PDT is 150% (meaning they ''die'' at of 150% Pain). Exceptions to this rule should be made clear to players.
