Vitality vs Stress vs Stress Maximum

[housellama]

I noticed something odd when I got Study Mastery: Botany. The description states that it gives "a small expansion to your Vitality (+1). I had a Fitness of 4, and my Vitality had previously been 4, so I was expecting it to be 5, but it wasn't. My Vitality max stayed at 4. So I went looking at things. The Effects section of the ability lists "Expand Stress Maximum". This is a little confusing to me, because I thought that there was no cap to Stress.

 

I'm a little confused. I went through the documentation and the forums and didn't see anything. (It's possible I missed something on the forums but I don't think so.) Can someone shed some light on this for me?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the note on Study Mastery- that will be corrected in CP1.

 

Although Stress is technically unbounded, your Stress Maximum is how much Stress you can tolerate before you are at risk of falling Ill.

I do believe there's a similar problem with Skill Mastery Athlethics and Calligraphy. They should increase Vitality Maximum and Stress Maximum, but I can't see either of them doing anything.

Study Mastery: Athletics does have a slight content problem (and will be corrected in CP1). Calligraphy increases your Stress Maximum, and this appear to be working correctly.

 

Thanks!
