Editing Technophobia/Stress (section)

== HEALING BURDENS==
At the start of downtime, every character (simultaneously) gets a special free downtime action: ''Heal Burdens''. Each player chooses a method for healing, then rolls a skill check, filling in 1–3 segments on a burden of their choice (depending on the result). A result of 1–9 fills in one segment, 10–19 fills in two, and 20+ fills in three.

If you like, you can play out a scene showing how the characters are working on lifting their burdens. A method for healing could be anything that helps your character relieve stress, unwind, or (literally) heal their wounds. It could be spending time at the ship clinic, or at the bar. It could be journalling alone, sparring in the gym, tuning up your mech to blow off steam, or 
barbecuing with the base crew.

When a burden’s clock is filled up, it’s lifted and the PC is free from it, gaining 1–2 XP, depending on the length of the clock. PCs can forgo their own healing to help someone else with theirs. If they do so, they don’t get the free action to heal burdens, but the character they are helping fills 
in an additional segment of their burden clock. A PC can only benefit from the assistance of one other character at a time.
