    Effects and the '$' Symbol

    Hi All,

    I am doing some work on Effects within my campaign, and was looking at the Injuries table.

    The leg injuries generate an effect description which includes [$Slow].

    In this context, what does the $ do? I am assuming that it adds the Hindrance to the character while this effect is in action?

    Provides the effect of an Edge, Hindrance Racial/Special Ability; there is a note about it in the 5.2 update.

    [SavageWorlds] $Ability effect support in CT effects. For instance `Warrior's Gift [$Quick]` to grant Quick Ability but label it as Warrior's Gift
    As an example I have a house rule about bonus raises for a variety of stuff and one is with 2 raises you can get an Extra Action card next round. Coded like this

    Just to clarify, I believe it only is good for edges, hindrances, and abilities that are coded with an effect or have a mechanical effect. Something like Ace, Assassin, or Marksman won't don't have coded effects and such and won't do anything.
