Quick Rules Q: About Stress starting level

[Abhoth]

Does your starting level for your stress's (mental, social, Physical) really only equal the bonus of the assoicated skill, meaning if some one doesnt have the skill they have no stress? Or is there a misprint in my book or did I miss a rule somewhere?

Thanks for your help

See YS p. 68, particularly the Marginalia.

To put it simply, you get two in each category, plus skill bonuses.

Awesome thank you, Can you tell me what your hunger stress starts at? is it 2+your Discipline?

[KOFFEYKID]

It starts a 2, +1 if you have a 1 in int, +2 if you have a 3 in it. Beyond that it never improves unless you have a power that specifically says so. Also, at 5 (and every 2 levels above 5, so 5, 7, 9, etcetera), you get an extra Mild consequence of the appropriate type.

So say you have a 5 in endurance, you would have a physical stress track of P OOOO, and you would also have +1 Mild Physical Consequence.
