Game Notes: After the first week of wearing a life crystal, roll 2D to determine its effects on the wearer:
Roll Result

• 2-3 +1 pips to Strength
• 4 +1 pips to Perception
• 5 +1 pips to Knowledge
• 6-8 No Effect
• 9 +1 pips to Technical
• 10 +1 pips to Mechanical

Each successive year, the wearer rolls again and can gain additional bonuses. The bonuses are cumulative, as are bonuses awarded by multiple life crystals. If a life crystal is not worn for 24 hours, the bonuses become penalties. If the crystal is replaced within a week, the bonuses are restored. If the crystal is not replaced, the penalties will wear off in one year.
