Clearing debilities

A player character can clear a debility when...

  • … they Recover, and explain how they're treating the debility;
  • … they Make Camp, and choose to clear a debility;
  • … they have a few days of downtime to Convalesce;
  • … another move says that they do; or
  • … you offer them an opportunity to clear a debility, and they take it.

Clearing a debility means: they erase the mark on their character sheet, they no longer take the mechanical penalty, and their character is no longer actively distressed by the effects in the fiction.

Clearing a debility doesn't mean that any accompanying injury is healed—it means they've treated it as best they can and it's no longer actively hindering them. If they marked weakened because of a torn bicep, clearing the debility probably means it's bandaged and the arm is in a sling. It'll still take time to fully heal.
