Progression

Every character begins as a Level 0 Communard. It's only at the end of a successful "Bite Your Milk Teeth" phase that a character can advance to Level 1 and pick a Character Class.

Further Progression happens when characters choose to spend Energy Cells on upgrading 1) their Class-specific facilities or 2) Milk Bar-wide facilities.

Whenever a Communard returns to the Milk Bar from an Expedition, they will be able to convert some of their accrued Stress into Saves.

In order to process your Stress into something useful, make a Sanity Save:

• Success: you convert some of your Stress into improved Saves. Each port converts a different amount of Stress as shown in the table. Whatever Stress you don’t convert is relieved, setting you back to your Minimum Stress.

• Critical Success: You convert the maximum amount of Stress allowed at that port into improved Saves and relieve the remainder.

• Failure: You don’t convert any Stress, but you relieve all of your Stress, setting you back to your Minimum Stress. Then, gain a Stress for failing your Sanity Save.

• Critical Failure: You don’t convert or relieve any Stress. Make a Panic Check.
