Under Harm, it says that if you ever need to mark harm and have no boxes left, you die. So, if a character had taken (after applying reduction from armor) 3 harm from one attack, then 2 more harm from another attack, that’s all 5 boxes filled exactly. So do they die instantly, or would they need to take a 6th point of harm. (Or wait until the MC decides it’s appropriate to “worsen” their wounds and effectively take 1 more harm as a result.)
Basically, does harm have to “overflow” your boxes to kill you outright, or does the 5th do it instantly?
Yes. You die at overflow.
Overflow. 5 boxes marked is still alive.
