	[[Deterioration]] is a way of modulating various types of [[Equipment]] (or in some cases [[Attributes]]) so that those using them can suffer [[Decreased Abilities]] or [[Ability Losses]] if they are used too much. It may make [[Abilities]] into [[Temporary Abilities]] and [[Game Items]] into [[Destructible Objects]]. For these reasons, having [[Deterioration]] can force players to consider the [[~~Tradeoffs~~]] between the [[Deterioration]] caused by using the [[Equipment]] and the (potential) gains received from doing so.

	Items used in [[Fallout 3]] and [[Fallout: New Vegas]] become less and less efficient and need to be repaired to continue functioning. Besides items used actively by characters this includes armor and apparel. Similarly, using any tool in [[Minecraft]] wears it down and so does absorbing damage for armor.

	Designing [[Deterioration]] into a game mainly concerns what [[Game Items]] can be affected, what causes the [[Deterioration]], and how the [[Deterioration]] is manifests in the game.
