| [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Physiology#Physiology|Physiology]] is a mechanical term. A [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Physiology#Physiology|Physiology]] determines how certain effects, such as those from <wrap preview>[[:Items:Gadgets:Consumables]]</wrap> or <wrap preview>[[:Masteries]]</wrap> may interact with a <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> based on their type of [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Physiology#Physiology|Physiology]].\\ | [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Physiology#Physiology|Physiology]] is a mechanical term. It reflects the physical nature and essential requirements of a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Target]]. Whether they are made of bone, muscle and blood, with a need for food and sleep; a coalescence of magical forces sustained by sunlight, electricity or mystical energies; or a framework of circuitry, pistons and artificial systems requiring maintenance and fuel, a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Target|Target's]] [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Physiology#Physiology|Physiology]] helps define how it interacts with forces and entities of Meat Space.\\ |
