Post-Combat Recovery and Trauma

Post-Combat Recovery and Trauma

After leaving danger and receiving continuous care from at least one ally for ten minutes in a safe environment, a character in Breakdown regains 1 Resolve, ends Breakdown and Shaken, and clears all recorded failures. They then immediately make a DC 12 Trauma Save.

Natural 20: no lasting effect. Success: gain 【Aftershock】 until the next Long Rest, reducing Maximum Resolve by an amount equal to the character's Proficiency Bonus. Failure: gain a Trauma related to the cause of the Breakdown. Natural 1: gain a severe Trauma. The player and GM determine the specific Trauma together based on the event.
