How many Consequences?

[jait]

So, I was recently going over some character-generation with someone and came across the fact that Conviction, Endurance and Presence at Superb give an additional Consequence of the appropriate stress-type (Mental, Physical, Social). 

I was of the impression that there was only one set of consequences, regardless of which stress-track fed in to them.  Now, I'm not so sure.  Are there three consequence-tracks of Mild, Moderate, Severe and Extreme or only one, to which the Mental, Physical and Social stress-tracks feed into?

Should it be:

Mental	O O O	Mental Consequences:	O O O O
Physical	O O O	Physical Consequences:	O O O O
Social	O O O	Social Consequences:	O O O O

Or

Mental	O O O	Combined Consequences:	O O O O
Physical	O O O
Social	O O O

It's late and I'm tired.  I looked, but I didn't scour the book.  Still, if I'm able to add an extra Mild mental consequence ranking, I'm thinking that there is a separate consequence track for each stress-element.

What's the official word?

There is one set of consequences plus additional consequences awarded from stunts/skills 5 or higher.

That is, One Mild, One Moderate, One Severe and One Extreme.

If your skills that effect stress tracks are 5 or higher you get one more mild which is *only* applicable to one of the tracks.

Everyone has a base pool of four Consequences. These are used to reduce incoming stress of all types. So if you use your Minor Consequences to avoid being seduced by a faerie, it's no longer available to do things like soak up bruises or help you with mind control powers.

High Skill ratings provide additional Consequences. These specify which stress track to which they apply. So if you have Superb Endurance, Conviction, and Presence, you've got four Mild Consequences. One applies to physical, one to mental, one to social, and one to anything.

A couple of stunts also give extra consequences (but may restrict how they can be used).  Then there are some supernatural powers that give extra physical only consequences.

If you have a specific consequence from a stunt or having a skill at Superb it always makes sense to use the specific consequence before using the general one.
