In the ruleset everything is handled by an effect. For many effects the effect is automatically placed on the actor when placed on the combat tracker.

An example of this is that a fairy vulnerable to cold iron will have an effect added to the record on the combat tracker. This goes for NPCs and PCs. If you used the Shadowdark ruleset many of the ways innate effects are applied are the same. In fact the Shadowdark code heavily borrowed from this ruleset.
