List Compiling: Consequences

[bestial warlust]

Ok so I've got a group that will be new to the FATE system in general what I need help with is a good list of physical and mental stress that can be used at each: mild, moderate and severe. Just something to help me and them get a good idea of what we can have at each level the more the better.

Here's the current entries:

[sinker]

I'm having a hard time thinking of good examples right now, (especially mental and social) but this is always the way I've thought about consequences.

A mild consequence should be an "OW that smarts, but it'll be alright in a few hours/days" sort of thing. So like headaches, scrapes, bruises, etc.
A moderate is a "You should probably go see a doctor, but you'll probably be alright if you decide not to" sort of thing. So cuts, mild to moderate burns, sprains, mild hyperextension, deep bruising.
Severe is a "Holy profanity you should be at an emergency room right now" injury. Broken bones, deep gashes, internal injuries, severe burns, dislocated joints.

Hope that helps some.

[Drachasor]

Mental isn't too hard.

Mild:  Starving (distracts thinking, could also be mild social consequence), Headache, Need a Nap, Overworked, Distracted....just think of something that impedes thinking and/or focus
Moderate:  Concussion, Depressed, hmm, Haunted by Nightmares, Exposed to Electro-Shock Therapy (could also be severe or extreme...this can potentially really mess you up)
Severe:  err...Bad Head Wound, REALLY Haunted by Nightmares, Severely Depressed
Extreme: Stroke

Hmm, "Drugged" potentially can go in any category.  Mental stuff is a bit hard to come up with.  I suppose a lot of it you can just wing it, and view it as the same sort of problem as a Mild consequence, just lasting longer (this isn't the worst way to model it by far).  So "Easily Distracted" if it lasts a long time IS a Moderate/Severe/Extreme consequence.  Last a few hours, no big deal, but if it lasts for a few days that's not good.  Harder to do this with some things, like lack of sleep, but one could say it takes a few days to really begin to recover from not having slept for a long time.

As for physical, that's all super-easy.  In a game coming soon, I'm playing the son of Thor, and I hope I get to stop something crazy at some point, like a rocket, explosive, huge jolt of magic, and take the mild consequence "Numb Arm" because that's pretty bad ass.

Rick Neal has some playtest notes, including this Thaumaturgical Declaration cheat sheet, with suggestions for Lore Declarations, including Social, Mental and Physical consequences:

Physical Consequences

    * Spill some blood to help power the ritual – Deep, Bleeding Cut
    * Burn foul substances and breathe in the noxious fumes – Hacking Cough
    * Sleep on a bed of nails – Pinpricked Back
    * Walk around the perimeter of the city to define the area of the spell – Really, Really Sore Feet
    * Fast for three days to purify yourself – Weak With Hunger

Mental Consequences

    * Performing difficult calculations to compose the spell – My Brain Hurts!
    * Cross-checking ancient manuscripts, translating from multiple languages – It’s All Greek to Me. Or Maybe Akkadian.
    * Take mind-altering substances to change your perceptions of the world – Tripping Balls
    * Delving deep into your dreams for hidden knowledge and revelation – Sleepwalking Through the Day
    * Matching wits with a spirit of intellect for a secret chant – Thinking in Circles

Social Consequences

    * Ignoring personal hygiene for a few days while you research – What’s That Smell?
    * Dropping out of sight for days at a time while you work on the spell – Ignoring My Friends
    * Trading favours with one of the fey – In Debt to the Summer Court
    * Getting arrested doing a little nude graverobbing – Unsavoury Police Record
    * Watching everyone you meet to see if they’re spirits sent to attack you – Weird Stalker Vibe

[jadecourtflunky]

Here are a couple mental ones, based in mental attack/domination.
Mild: Odd twitch, Weird/Dark thoughts, A bit tamed, My head hurts.
Moderate: Weakened Control, Must.. Not.. Obey, The world is spinning,
Severe: (insert name here)'s got a hold on me, I.. feel.. numb, Why keep fighting?
Extreme: My mind goes to the shadows, Mental Scars, I can't feel my (insert body part name here).

[sinker]

Moderate: Internal Bleeding, Hemorrhaging , Cracked Ribs, Concussion

These seem a little too severe to be moderate to me (at least the first two). Seems to me that moderate consequences shouldn't be immediately life threatening.

[bitterpill]

You might be right about those two, perhaps Hemorrhaging and Internal Bleeding belong in Severe. ive edited it.

[Seb Wiers]

I'll add a few fight-related physicals I figure to use for my martial artist.  I tried to make them easy to compel rather than anatomically descriptive

Mild- fat lip, sore, sprained, winded, tired, banged up, looks worse than it really is, wincing

Moderate- tasting blood, can't wear that any more, shouldn't be walking on that, making a mess, ragged breathing, don't touch me there, partly blinded, partly deafened, cussing

Severe- picking up teeth, can't walk on that, holding it shut, gasping for air, punch drunk, tunnel vision, moaning agony
