[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6560325, member: 177"] Oh, I see what yoru misunderstanding is. Here's the thing to remember. When you take a hit, you get to check *ONE* box. If you don't have a single box capable of taking all the stress, and you don't have Consequences, you are Taken Out. Your Mook has two Stress boxes. The first box will absorb one stress. The second box will absorb two stress. So, what does he do if he takes three stress in one hit? He doesn't check both boxes! He would have to check the third box, but he doesn't have a third box! So, that one hit takes him down. Similarly, say your Mook as two stress boxes. First round, he takes a hit for one stress. He checks his first stress box. Second round, he takes a hit for one stress. His first box is checked, so it rolls up and he checks his second box. Third round, he takes yet another hit for one stress. He has no more empty boxes. The stress rolls up to the third box he does not have, and he's taken out. Oh, I know. But, since there are potentially other readers, I wanted to be specific and correct for their sake. Yah. I was being careful with terminology. Anyone can tag the Aspect, if they spend their own Fate Point. The creator doesn't get a say if you want to spend your own point. The free tags that come with creating the Aspect are normally at the creator's discretion. [/QUOTE]
