Level Up (A5E) Strife

[Morrus]

As you know, in A5E exhaustion is split into fatigue and strife. You recover from fatigue and strife by taking a long rest at a haven. This is the early draft of strife.

Neat! I hope you can post a couple of those stress effects as an example.

It's very caster-focused. Does this mean that Fatigue is more martial-focused?

Will these stress effects be used in other places as well--like as the result of spells, poisons, etc.--or are they solely from Strife?

 

[Rob Kuntz]

As noted, are the effects stackable, like strife after strife after...? Or do they cap? Say as in while enroute to a haven while in strife you are strifed again?

O5E calls them “madnesses”.

Yep, each time you gain strife it increases by a level. And each time you rest at a haven, it goes down by one level.

I think that looks really cool. I do think that number 5 should probably read, "Cannot cast spells other than cantrips." Cantrips being spells.

Clarity for the literal minded out there.

I might resemble that remark a bit.

If you're lost, you can look, but won't find the path
Strife after strife
If you fall, you'll take damage, and lose hp
Strife after strife

Polish it up a bit and Morrus might be induced to include it as a side-bar in the section.
