[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8272038, member: 86653"] They are very much presented as options rather than an exhaustive list, though they do give a distinct sense of "big crazy moments" rather than things that happen with any regularity. The provided examples are: A tense, dramatic moment, especially one involving one of a character’s Seeds of Fear. Every 24 hours the character goes without finishing a long rest. Witnessing the death of a loved one. A nightmare or darkest fear made real. Shattering the character’s fundamental understanding of reality. Witnessing a person transform into a horrid or unnatural creature. The first two might happen more frequently, while the last four are going to be rare. Most players try to push for the five-minute workday and will try to take more rests than needed, so the DM will have to push the no rest thing. Likewise with the "tense, dramatic moment" that could honestly be anything. I think people will read the Seeds of Fear clause as pointing towards that as the trigger. So again, mostly rarer events rather than things that would reasonably come up even once a day. You're likely to get maybe one or two Stress at most during any given adventure, unless the DM really wants to push the new mechanic. [/QUOTE]
