-Typical reasons for receiving [[Penalties]] include taking [[Damage]], triggering [[Traps]], or suffering from [[Death Consequences]] (e.g. from [[Player Killing]] events). Being the target of successful [[Enemies]] actions or [[Eliminate]] goals also qualify. More uncommon but still possible reasons include performing specific [[Actions Have Diegetically Social Consequences]] of a negative kind, e.g. failing to follow the requirements of [[Factions]] one belong to (which risks making one an [[Outcast]]) or attacking other in what should be [[Safe Havens]]. [[Critical Hits]] can motivate additional [[Penalties]] compared to ordinary hits, but [[Critical Failures]] or [[Critical Misses]] can be used to inflict [[Penalties]] on those performing actions or attacks rather than any potential targets. Failing with the [[Committed Goals]] (for example of accepted [[Quests]]) is another reason for receiving [[Penalties]] (and the [[Penalties]] are in fact what typically defines the goals as [[Committed Goals]]), as may be losing [[Area Control]] over places or entering places controlled by others. Applying [[Penalties]] to [[Ephemeral Goals]] make them [[Committed Goals]] but still let players have the choice to focus their efforts on other things; they are typically also applied to [[Quick Time Events]] but in this case players are forced to try and complete some actions. [[Penalties]] can also be added to various activities and tasks related to [[Attention Demanding Gameplay]] to emphasis and weight the importance of these different activities and tasks. The use of [[Player-Defined Goals]] can let players set what [[Penalties]] such exist for some goals in a game (including those outside the game system).

[[Penalties]] can also directly affect other goals, changing their requirements so they are harder to fulfill. [[Penalties]] that do this affect a goal with [[Dynamic Goal Characteristics]].
 There are several ways to modify how [[Penalties]] behave. First, a basic choice is whether the [[Penalties]] should be [[Individual Penalties]] or [[Shared Penalties]] (or, similar to the latter case, affect [[Shared Resources]] or linked to [[Mutual Goals]]). Second, the strength of [[Penalties]] can follow [[Arithmetic Progression]] or [[Geometric Progression]] based upon how bad a failure was, how good a success was, when in a gameplay arc players are, or some other measurable value. Regardless of the second possibility, [[Randomness]] can be used to affect the severity of [[Penalties]] and [[Rewards]] can be used to modulate [[Penalties]] to mitigate them somewhat (as can [[Penalties]] be used to temper [[Rewards]]). Letting players know how [[Penalties]] are applied lets them be [[Predictable Consequences]] and can let players choose to accept them for tactical reasons. [[Parallel Lives]] can make players have to handle several different reasons for getting [[Penalties]] simultaneous. One type of [[Privileged Abilities]] can make players immune to [[Penalties]] while another one can let players control how other players receive [[Penalties]]. Finally, [[Extra-Game Consequences]] - often bad ones - can be tied to the [[Penalties]].
