Alien RPG: Stressed Out, but Not Panicked

A handy alternate to the panic tests in the Alien RPG.

One thing we've seen in the Alien RPG is that when rolling tasks in high-stakes scenes that are not action oriented — combat and the like — crappy die rolls have been leading our characters to occasionally panic, as per the rules. This seems a bit overboard for the usual run of the mill "losing their shit" that people do under stress.

We've all had these moments -- you're so frazzled you forget what you were doing or where that thing is, you suddenly develop dropsy, you snap at people, you hide in the bathroom for 30 minutes...

So here's a more appropriate social/normal day panic chart. Adapt as needed/wanted:

Enjoy.
