| ====== Strain ====== | ====== Strain ====== |
| **<wrap preview>[[:Stats:Panache]]</wrap> + [Job Bonus]**\\ \\ | [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] is a <wrap preview>[[:Character|Character's]]</wrap> mental endurance and ability to handle stressful situations. |
| [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] is the representation of a <wrap preview>[[:Character|Character's]]</wrap> ability to stay with it in high pressure situations.\\ | |
| \\ | Characters have a base [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] equal to their <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Panache]]</wrap> plus the [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] bonus from their <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Starting Job]]</wrap>. Additional [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] can be gained from sources such as <wrap preview>[[:Masteries]]</wrap> and [Cyberware]. |
| When reduced to 0 [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] a <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> must choose to fight on and generate a <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Panicking|Panic]]</wrap> or become <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Conditions:Downed]]</wrap> and generate two <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Panicking|Panics]]</wrap> choosing which one they recieve instead. | |
| \\ \\ | When any single instance of [Damage] would reduce a <wrap preview>[[:Character|Character's]]</wrap> [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] to 0 or be dealt to [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] while at 0, any remaining [Damage] from that instance is ignored. The <wrap preview>[[:Character|Character]]</wrap> must then choose either **Fight** or **Flight**: |
| [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] is recovered through <wrap preview>[[:Game_Mechanics:Actions]]</wrap> such as <wrap preview>[[:Base_Actions:Deep_Breath]]</wrap> and <wrap preview>[[:Base_Actions:Steel]]</wrap>. [[:Ratings:Strain#Strain|Strain]] is fully recovered at the end of a <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Scene]]</wrap>. | * **Fight**: You choose to carry on and continue the [Encounter]. Generate a <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Panic]]</wrap>. |
| | * **Flight**: You choose to succumb and gain the [Flight] <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Conditions|Condition]]</wrap> until the end of the [Encounter]. |
