Characters — be they PCs or NPCs — can suffer status effects during play. These will often be a consequence of attacks and spells.
Different status effects that influence the same Attribute will stack — for instance, being both dazed and enraged reduces your Insight die size by two.
That said, your Attributes cannot be reduced below a d6 size.
If a character is suffering from a status effect and receives that same status effect again, nothing happens.
Status effects can be healed through resting or via specific spells, Skills, or items.
If a character is immune to a given status effect, they cannot suffer it — if they become immune to that status effect while they have it, then they immediately recover from that status effect.
