Editing Setting:HR Giger's Dark World (section)

===Level Backwards and ways to avoid it===
As you travel through this strange world you will have to pay a heavy price. This wont be a "Sanity Mechanic" because i think insanity works best when you think you are being sane. So in this case as you become more "experienced" in the Dark World, it doesn't actually mean you necessarily get better, in fact this world is taking its toll on your mind, body and soul. When a player levels up, while in the dark world they will have to expend some of their strengths/boons/etc. In order to proceed. The world you knew before no longer matters, best to leave its ways behind.

====Dark World Points====
Your attributes can be modified by leveling up, much like they can in a regular RPG. As you progress you gain Dark World Points, these will be added when you perform sensation check rolls. Meaning as you progess you will see further.

However there is a catch. When you are in the overworld these modifiers still apply, but instead of positive they are negative.

====Your Dark World Self====
Now there is a way to avoid this, you can slowly become one with your dark world character. Over time, you can affix certain parts of him to yourself, as he will to you. As you progress through the Dark World you will begin to take on an unearthly and bizarre look. As you continue to become a creature of both worlds you can use the skills and abilities he has instead of affecting your own. You can even go back to the overworld and appear unchanged. The problem is, you don't know what his personality is like. So you can avoid losing something, but you gain something you have little control over. Certain actions will now no longer be done by you, and their is a chance your dark self will act on your stead. And this will pass over into the light world as well. After all he's let you into his life, you let him into yours now. Is your family, your wife, and your old ways safe from him?
