Defiled

A more serious infection of Taint is when a character is Defiled. If a character fails a Fortitude or Will check by 10 or more, the character is Defiled, falling Helpless and gaining 1 Taint Die.
A character who is Defiled is entitled to a check to recover from being Helpless after 1 minute (with the same Resistance used against the Taint in the first place, usually Fortitude or Will). If the character fails, he or she may make another check to recover every minute, with a Cumulative +1 for each failed check.
