Mild +2

• A mild consequence is a minor inconvenience, such as:
  • An injury that doesn't require immediate medical attention
  • A small social gaffe or change in surface emotions
• Examples: Black Eye, Bruised Hand, Winded, Flustered, Cranky, Temporarily Blinded

Mild Recovery

• In game, when safe, others may roll overcome against 2 (or you can roll overcome against 4) to start your recovery (rename / mark consequence with * for recovering)
• A recovering mild consequence goes away after surviving one whole scene
• A mild consequence (recovering or not) goes away with a Minor Milestone

Moderate +4

• A moderate consequence is serious impairment that requires dedicated recovery, such as:
  • An injury that requires medical attention
  • Damage to your reputation or emotional problems you can't sleep off
• Examples: Deep Cut, First Degree Burn, Exhausted, Drunk, Terrified

Moderate Recovery

• In game, when safe, others may roll overcome against 4 (or you can roll overcome against 6) to start your recovery (rename / mark consequence with * for recovering)
• Otherwise, a (not recovering) moderate consequence automatically starts recovery (rename / mark consequence with * for recovering) with a Minor Milestone
• A recovering moderate consequence goes away after lasting one whole session

Severe +6

• A severe consequence is a major impairment that will affect you for a long while such as:
  • A major injury that requires an emergency room visit
  • Serious trauma or relationship-changing harm
• Examples: Second-Degree Burn, Compound Fracture, Guts Hanging Out, Crippling Shame, Trauma-Induced Phobia

Severe Recovery

• In game, when safe, others may roll overcome against 6 (or you can roll overcome against 8) to start your recovery (rename / mark consequence with * for recovering)
• Otherwise, a (not recovering) severe consequence automatically starts recovery (rename / mark consequence with * for recovering) with a Significant Milestone
• A recovering severe consequence goes away after lasting one whole scenario

Extreme +8

• An extreme consequence is a character-changing impairment
• You must replace an existing aspect with a new one that reflects the extreme consequence

Extreme Recovery

• No option to start recovery with a roll
• An extreme consequence automatically starts recovery (rename consequence aspect) with a Major Milestone
• Once an extreme consequence has been renamed to indicate recovering, it no longer counts as an extreme consequence (freeing you to take another in the future)
• A formerly extreme consequence aspect (aka started recovery) doesn't just go away, it's just like any other character aspect now
