Rules and Info
Burning Tags
When an ability or circumstance makes a player burn a tag, the tag is temporarily disabled and cannot be used to the player's benefit or weakness. There should be a narrative reason for the tag to not apply whether the character has changed or the circumstance has changed.
*Perhaps the tag Old Pick-up Truck has been towed and can't be reclaimed for a while.
*Maybe the tag Blends with the Shadows doesn't apply when the city is completely blacked out.
To regain a burnt tag, the most common way is during the move Montage: Downtime which represents the time you take to get it back.
Statuses
While tags are the qualities of certain objects or characters, statuses represent the condition of being. These are almost always negative and can range from physical, social, psychological, supernatural, and combat situational.
When applying statuses to rolls, only the highest applicable status applies.
A status can range from tier 1 - 6, each level representing the negative penalty to rolls they apply to. However, at tier 5 the object or character with the status is "defeated or incapacitated" in some manner and cannot perform actions or moves that would invoke the status at all. At tier 6, the status is permanent and the character is dead or might as well be.
