Overindulgence
Downtime activities > Indulging Your Vice > Overindulgence
If your vice roll clears more stress levels than you had marked, you overindulge. A vice is not a reliable, controllable habit. It's a risk—and one that can drive your character to act against their own best interests.
When you overindulge, you make a bad call because of your vice—in acquiring it or while under its influence. To bring the effect of this bad decision into the game, select an overindulgence from the list:
- Attract Trouble. Select or roll an additional entanglement.
- Brag about your exploits. +2 heat.
- Lost. Your character vanishes for a few weeks. Play a different character until this one returns from their bender. When your character returns, they've also healed any harm they had.
- Tapped. Your current purveyor cuts you off. Find a new source for your vice.
