Agony

Agony is an incapacitating condition related to pain. It is not precisely suitable for all campaigns or adventures, but is listed here for completeness.
== Actions under Agony ==
A character in agony takes 1 FP per minute and can't do anything, except perhaps shout.Basic Set: Campaigns, p.428 Characters with High Pain Threshold can keep moving, but will be at -3 to DX and IQ, and those with Low Pain Threshold simply lose their FP even faster, at twice the rate.
Depending on the source of this affliction (be it natural or supernatural), a character is likely to eventually pass out somewhere between 0 FP and -1xFP (see Fatigue Points), but not necessarily die. If there are creatures that feed on pain (like doleovores), they're likely to leave prey at negative FP, with later PCs discovering the trail of afflicted in their wake.
