	Damage during conflict is accumulated as '''Stress''', and each character has multiple stress tracks for physical and social/mental stress.

If the Xth box is already marked, cross off the next highest empty box. If this goes over the top, the player must assume a '''Consequence''' --a new negative Aspect that reflects an appropriate injury to the conflict (ie "battered and bruised", "laughingstock," "shellshocked"). These start out minor, but must be of increasing severity as these injuries pile up, to a maximum of three. These aspects can be invoked for free by opponents Stress boxes are wiped clean when conflict is finished, but the Consequences stick around until the character can recover. Rather than suffer Consequences, a loser may offer a a fate point and a '''Concession''', a way of bowing out gracefully. The opponent can take the fate point and the loser's narration of the loss, or refuse with a fate point of their own to push the fight to the death as it were.

	'''Stunts''' are narrow and use more powerful applications of skills, similar to "Feats" in Dungeons and Dragons. They may allow a +2 advantage to a skill in a narrow application ("Grease Monkey: +2 to Repair if you are working on a vehicle"), substitute a skill in place of another ("Money Talks: spend some cash and use Resources in place of Contacting"), allow unusual equipment, always-on access to resources (ie. photographic memory, cybernetic implants) or a specific exceptional maneuver ("Thump of Restoration: hit a device to make it work immediately for X turns, after which repairs rolls are at -1")		'''Stunts''' are narrow and use more powerful applications of skills, similar to "Feats" in Dungeons and Dragons.
