Editing Scariks Strands40k Stress (section)

== Consequences ==

There are four kinds of Consequences, each reduces the Stress from a single attack: Minor(-2), Major(-4), Severe(-6), Extreme(-8). Stress can only be reduced to 0, extra reduction is wasted so plan ahead.

You may have one Consequence in each of the three Tracks and three floating Consequences that can be assigned ad hoc to any track. The only restriction is that you may only take one Consequence of each severity in any one Track. You can take a Minor and a Severe Health Consequence and still take a Minor Composure Consequence but you may not take 2 Minor Composure Consequences. 

You may only ever have one Extreme Consequence at a time but you may freely mix the other levels. In addition in order to even take an Extreme Consequence you must burn a point of Refresh. Healing from such things also changes the very nature of a character, see more in the healing section below.
