Panic and Stress

Panic and Stress

• The more stress you have, the more likely you are to panic when bad things happen
• Keep track of your stress (you start with 2)
  • You have a minimum stress and can't go below this
  • Maximum stress is 20; any stress taken over 20 reduces the most relevant stat or save instead
  • To relieve stress, make a Rest Save using your worst save
    • Success: reduce stress by the ones digit of the roll
    • Failure: gain 1 stress
    • Leisure activities give advantage; unsafe locations give disadvantage
• Make a panic check whenever
  • You roll a critical failure
  • Dramatically appropriate events (e.g. witnessing death, encountering strange entities)
  • Whenever you choose to
• When you need to make a panic check, roll a d20
  • Greater than your stress - Success
  • Equal to or under - Failure, consult the panic table
