Health

Health is a Rating. It is a Character's physical wellbeing and vitality.

Characters have a base Health equal to their Brawn plus the Health bonus from their Starting Job. Additional Health can be gained from sources such as Masteries, Items and Cyberware.

When any single instance of Damage would reduce a Character's Health to 0 or be dealt to Health while at 0, any remaining Damage from that instance is ignored. The Character must then choose either Fight or Flight:

Fight: You choose to carry on and continue the Encounter. Generate an Injury.
Flight: You choose to succumb and gain the Flight Condition until the end of the Encounter.

Collapsing in a fight may seem like a bad idea, but not losing an arm is a pretty good one. Choosing to go down safely in an encounter should generally be a positive choice, most enemies with sapience wont waste much time trying to finish someone off who's already out of the fight. But be warned, should the entire cast fall or your fighting a mindless and hungry creature, dont be surprised if your enemy shows no quarter, finishing off the group or ripping the weakest link to shreds.
