Using the pattern
Energy Penalties are those Penalties that affect some Attributes or Resources that players have. They are typically diegetically motivated by being affected by Aim & Shoot actions or Traps but can be given for any type of reason. In practice, designing Energy Penalties consist of using Damage on Resources or Attributes, most typically Ammunition, Armor, Energy, or Health.
Consequences
In games with Lives, Energy Penalties can lead to Life Penalties if the Attributes affected by them relate to the Lives.
