Editing Stress (section)

== Stress Factors ==

'''NOTE:''' This info is probably dated and most the values have likely been tweaked a little bit, but it should give a good idea of the proportions of how much certain things affect stress<ref>http://dark-wind.com/forums2/index.php?a=topic&t=728</ref>

* character is in an [[Arena Combat]] (+5) 
* or, character is in a [[Wilderness Event|wilderness combat]] (+10) 

* Character is leader (-15 or –25 depending on whether he is also the overall gang leader) 
* no decent [[medic]] available (+3) 
* excellent medic available (-3) 
**Note that in a town event excellent medics are always on hand. In the wilderness you have to bring your own. 

* Car does not contain event leader (+3) 
* Each co-passenger who wants to surrender (+10) 
* Each team member wound (+1) 
* Each co-passenger wound (+1) 
* Each team member death (+4) 
* Each co-passenger death (+8 if 2 characters are in vehicle, +5 if 3 characters are in vehicle, etc.) 
**''It seems to be something like: 16 / NumberOfCharactersInCar, thus:''

* Character himself gets wounded (+4) 
* An opponent is wounded (-1) 
* An opponent dies (-4) 
* Car [[armour]] breached (for each side breached): (+10) 
**''This has probably changed heavily, see below''

* team/player is out numbered in terms of firepower (+varies) (for this calculation the new fear factor of weapons is included) 
**''The effect of this seems to increase with the amount of cars involved in a scout even if the odds aren't getting much worse. From my observations in very large 20-car wilderness events it looks like this effect can give your characters a maximum of 60 stress''

* Car is on fire (+25) 
* Car being targeted/under fire (+2 to +6 per weapon, depends on fear factors) 
**''Just being targeted doesn't give any stress, being shot at gives a slight amount of stress that fades very quickly.''

* Car takes damage (varies, anything from +0.1 to +20.0 depending on severity of damage)
