During your exploration, your character may get various status effects. Depending on how you got the status, it may be permanent. Permanent states are written in blue below your character sheet, otherwise they are written in white. Not all status effects are shown by default, you may have to use a stethoscope to find out all the effects that influence you.
Most status effects can be permanent, but the way how to achieve this differs for the different effects.
