Understanding Tension

Your character has a Tension meter, which reflects your current stress, anxiety, and focus.

  • Tension rises when you push your limits: requesting rerolls, engaging in risky encounters, or facing dangerous situations.
  • Tension decreases when you rest, meditate, eat, or otherwise take care of your well-being.

High tension can sharpen your awareness (e.g., making you more perceptive) but can also push you closer to collapse. Managing tension is essential to survival.
