Extremely rough draft, I'm reasonably certain this is correct but don't take my word for it until the page has been reviewed.

Buffs and Debuffs are changes to a target's Attribute's Strengths. Buffs change them for the better, making their target stronger in some way. Debuffs change them for the worse, making their target weaker in some way. Most Buffs and Debuffs have a Duration that determines how long the effect will last, and a Strength Modifier that determines how much of an effect the buff or debuff will have. Some Buffs and Debuffs are instant effect and only have a Strength Modifier. All Buffs are un-resistible, while most (but not all) Debuffs are resistible.
