Brittle Bones

As Taint pollutes your body, your bones become weak, subject to breaking and shattering with even minor injuries.
Brittle Bones functions like Frailty, requiring you to make a Fortitude check with your Taint Dice Pool any time you are Staggered by an attack to avoid having your Strength crippled. However, the DC increases to 15, and your injuries are much more severe, taking longer to heal.
A character with Brittle Bones cannot recover from a Crippled Strength condition until he or she recovers from all Injured and Staggered conditions first. If the character has had his or her Strength Crippled by another effect (such as having his or her Strength Drained below 0), he or she still must first recuperate from all other Injured and Staggered conditions before he or she is eligible to recover from being Crippled. Other Crippled ability scores do not have this penalty.
