The Underwater Conspiracy

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand this conspiracy and its "if able" clause.

Someone can explain who is targeted by the effect. Only characters with willpower ?

Thanks

I've checked it, and for now it's best to ignore the "if able" clause, because that is the intended wording.

I imagine that there can be character with willpower AND terror icon (e.g. gaineg from an attachment). In this case he will loose WILLPOWER but will not go insane as it still has terror icon.

The "if able" clause would imply that only when all characters have willpower and are able to go insane after they lose willpower the effect will have a result. This is a templating error. But you're right characters with Terror still won't go insane.

Sure, with the 'if able" clause the effect will never apply.

May be, if you have time Marius, it will be great to write a Topic about "if able" clause with differents examples ?

The "If Able" clause is a source for constant confusion, even with the templaters, it seems. The FAQ entry is put under concideration, so I hope to learn more about it's future soon.
