Overstimulating (Moderate)

An overstimulating space creates a constant barrage of stimulation that is distracting. It could be a crowd of loud people, the roar of an underground waterfall, the incessant noise of a droning insect, or the visual assault of too bright colors or lights. Any place that creates distraction from easy conversation qualifies.

Complication

This Complication applies to actions requiring concentration or communication.

Consequence

If not bought off during an influence scene, important information may get lost in the background as the character struggles to process information. In an investigation scene, a character may be unable to acquire additional clues, as they are too overwhelmed to notice. In an action scene, characters might become distracted or overstimulated, causing the character to drop their weapon or aim at an incorrect target.
