Quick Question about death curses.
Deadmanwalking:
You're both half-right. They can indeed tag all their consequences (so Moriden's example is at least 8 points low, it should be 28), but they can also inflict additional consequences on themselves for even more horror.

Check out pg 282 YS. He can tag the consequences on himself.

I went and looked it up and its worded kinda weirdly
So it looks like he can tag all of his "base consequences" and then essentially tag them again if they haven't been used...Personally i don't like that but that would add something in the range of 20 to the power of the sample affect. which will likely auto kill your pcs{ unless they have supernatural or better toughness of scary good defenses]

Tagging and burning for effect are different, tagging only gives a +2 per Consequence, burning for effect gives the Consequence value (8 for an Extreme Consequence, for example).
Moriden:
What dead said, [good to learn this all now before it comes up in my games], keep in mind that anything over a 24 strength attack is very likely to kill the targeted pc's.
Deadmanwalking:
It's fairly easy to avoid over 24 though. Have him keep fighting until all his Consequences up to Severe are filled, at that point the most he'll be able to get out of his Consequences is +14 plus 2 more for every additional Consequence he's got from skills and Stunts. Add in his Lore and that's all he'll get. even with Superb Conviction, Lore, and Endurance that's only a 23 Complexity Death Curse.
