Uneven trauma gives a penalty to the related circumstance. So if you have a trauma whose level is higher than others you will get a penalty in that circumstance. If all trauma are equal you won't get a penalty.For example:Would anyone be able to advise me on the mechanics behind how trauma level results in penalties to circumstance damage? This is related to the item "Balance's Pantsu" which reduces this penalty by one level. I think i have observed this before but would like to get confirmation on how and when trauma level results in penalties to circumstance damage. Not sure if this is covered within the tip or guide text files in the game holder.
Let's say you have:
Fear Lvl 1
Disg Lvl 2
Pain Lvl 3
Sham level 2
Without the item you will get a 1/2 penalty on Plea and Expo. 1/4 penalty on Inju and no penalty on Hate.
With item you will only get a 1/2 penalty on Inju.
