Template:Drop/doc

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)

Used to format and categorize the results of actions that decrease Pyramidal qualities, i.e. those that use Change Points. Actions that cause loss of Discrete qualities should use the Item Loss template instead. If the quality is Pyramidal but the result of the action is to set to a specific value, use this template with the "to" or "now" parameter. Actions that increase Pyramidal qualities should use the Increase template. If an action result may result in an increase or decrease to the same quality, then use the Increase template.
