If Stress is left unchecked and hits the 200 mark, the hero will suffer a heart attack from the unbearable stress and have their health bought down to 0. An Affliction in a hero will have their combat ability suffer immensely, and will lead to them lashing out uncontrollably, stressing themselves pr others in the party, performing actions at random or refusing to move, among other symptoms. Their stress (measured as a white bar underneath their health) is vitally as important their physical health, as if it hits 100 they will most likely crack from the pressure, leading to what is called an Affliction. Your heros will suffer stress from their numerous escapades in the dungeons and encounters with abhorrent eldritch abominations.
